Home & Away Kit 11/12; July 1st

Wow. I am surprised by the mixed opinions about the home shirt. I really like it. The last few years I wasn't really impressed the first time I saw a new kit but I liked this one straight away. I echo the points about the sponsor though. Lets just hope we dont end up with some massive multi coloured thing like hollywood monster.

Away kit is ok but I definitely prefer the home one.

Great kit and a plus for me no sponsors name!
But that is a massive massive blow to the club. Karen could only get 650k out of F&C which when we got back to the prem was one of the lowest deals!
Man U Chelski & Arsenal get tens of millions per year for theirs, so it seemed the obvious area for the chinese to pick up a very improved revenue stream.
This is a huge black mark against the present regime as deal surely should have been done around the time we won carling cup and our profile was sky high.
That game was watched live in 137 countries!!!

Umm, dude, our sponsor hasn't been confirmed yet. It's not that we won't have a sponsor....

The deal WAS done - but it was based on us staying up. We didn't, they pulled out, we had to look elsewhere. There's plenty of time.

I like them both but i'd have preferred an all-black away kit rather than have the shade of blue in it.

And for people who are worried about the shade of blue for the home kit - its just the way its come out on the photo..i'm convinced it will be royal blue.

@hemphizzx sponsor negotiations have been on-going through out 2011. Relegation obviously hasn't helped this process

Yep, negotiations have been ongoing - at one point they were nearing completion but relegation forced them to rethink.

So what Cowan is saying is that we're still negotiating and haven't yet got a sponsor but are not yet admitting defeat.

Which is what I've said and been disagreed with on.

Jeez.

And they were in negotiations with them all the way through the season, were they? You know that Blues hadn't spoken to or dealt with anybody else?

I've heard that we'd negotiated a deal with a Chinese finance firm based on Premiership status, we lost that status and the deal fell apart and so we'd started the search again.

When all is said and done, the fact is that the shirts don't have a sponsor currently, but most likely will do by the on-sale date.

38-40 small
40-42 medium etc

Thanks for that Dublin!
The sizing was a joke last year, mind you everything about the shirt was tbf.
Someone did a crowd pic of the tilton and analysed it to see what % of the crowd were
1 wearing club tops
2 wearing current tops

Compared to Villa Wba & Wolves we were lowest in 1, and lowest by some amazing amount at 2.

Shirt sales ias a massive potential revenue gathere for clubs, yet its an area we are failing in.
My Bro always buys his nephews club shirts for christmas, last season none available in those sizes!!!

I cannot understand why the team do not p-lay the last game of the season in next years shirt and start selling them straight away. So many people wear them on hols! I bought the carling cup polo for my hols but must admit after relegation didnt wear it with quite the pride I had imagined at time of purchase!!!

Looks Royal Blue to me. If you go to the pre-order online bit, the images there are darker blue, so think the initial image on home page is not reflective of the kits actual proper shade, as opposed to this in the shop Posted Image

Looks a better blue on the online store! Still a bit wishy washy, but hey, I do like the design. Will look good with a nice sponsor.

I love the new shirt, think the photo shoot has made it look more sky blue than it really is.

I won't be buying it till we have revealed the sponsor though. That will make of break it for me really.
