New Kit news!

[Turkey_Twizzler]

Alan hardy has recently tweeted about the new kits for next season, he has previously stated that we will be going for a "premier" brand (I consider the main 3 to be Nike, Adidas and Puma)

However as he has said tonight, it wont be adidas after someone asks him about Juves new adidas kit.

He's also making sure we don't have another complete c**k up like this season, Jason turner has already spoken about making sure it doesn't happen again but i think we can trust hardy!

Someone tell Mr Hardy to hold his horses! haha

I think this is the earlies for ages that we have heard news of the kit before we all start wondering if and when it will be released (key word should be 'when').

Nike and Adidas, however I wouldn't be surprised if we don't return to the latter since there is a lot of talk about returning to a single magpie (which was a famous Adidas kit).

To a degree, even Puma is pricey but it all depends on shirt sales and the agreement entered. I would assume the shirt will no longer be custom which would be disappointing, as I have always liked this - despite this seasons away shirt just being plain nasty.

Either of the three (Nike, Adidas and Puma) would be nice. We have to make sure if its Puma that we avoid the cheap one's which tend to rip, I'm sure the majority recall European games/World Cup/Euro's where shirts ripped when slightly pulled. Considering several players in the past got in trouble under the previous regime, I would be concerned it could turn out costly. LOL

Never mind if we finally had players of the Zoko silk who gave them to fans.

Lets hope alongside a decent kit next season that the kits are ready to buy from the last home game of the season

Let's wait and see, "great brand" is highly subjective. Personally I'd prefer a good off-the-peg design to the poor custom-made shirts we've had for the last few years (this season's pretty smart but delayed kit being an honourable exception).

Was all negotiated a while back.

I wouldn't doubt it, with hardy saying it should be announced by the end of this month its very likely its just dotting Is and crossing Ts

Considering the CEO said he was working on this numerous times, whilst mentioning that there would be further news - I would say its been in the process awhile. We are aware that the kits are designed and handled in advance.

Hardy has mentioned today that it wouldn't be Adidas, though said it would be a 'great' supplier.

He also mentioned we have missed the cut off point to work with Adidas, so I am wondering if the parts already worked out may change? That said my original comment was a joke (the opening of it).

Promising stuff, you have to love positive news.

Hardy don't mess about!

i hope they promote the shirts early and build the interest up in order to help the sales, we never seem to do that and it always seems to be the last released. the 10th of july is not bad.

As per the topic i started last night i believe they will be promoted early as hardy wants to know how many pies we want on the shirt (1 or 2) this would indicate he's thinking of changing the badge, he's also said he's getting rid of the awful star

Derby changed their shirt to a single ram for one season recently, whilst their official badge was just the same.

I would be interested to know if the price will increase? The Premier League tags are expensive and at £40 its steep.

I would not bother if it was over that. So big named brands is not everything, sometimes your best off with supporting the little players when they offer quality.
