Wait for the actual kit drop. And yet it's the most predictable thing ever We make PR fumble after PR fumble, knowing how people will react. It's amateurish.

That wasn't the plan all along. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted July 17 VT Supporter Share Posted July 17 I'm pleased the club dedicated a third kit in honour for the various helping hands we have had received from Fulham in the past few years. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MapleVilla Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 3 hours ago, The_Steve said: The badges look like they're stitched skewed. They're not straight. Especially the shorts. Having said that, I do like the style etc. Badge is a little big compared to everything else on the kit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's clearly a delay, and the club weren't confident in the original plan a week or so ago when they went with the slightly more vague 'days following the Euros'. It looks like they've now given themselves an additional ten days to make sure they're ready to go. I wonder if we'll now see the online and store launches combined. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roitorb Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 The problem is the adidas logo isn’t as big as it will be on the kits making the badge look huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioVilla Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 So it's for the first 2 matches, does that mean it'll be ready for the US Tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd hope so - 27th July is the first game of the tour, so they've given themselves another ten days to be ready. How they'll schedule the different suppliers and sales windows will be interesting - they usually go online sales bit first, which means Fanatics would have first dibs on the kit - but given the delays, they might combine the online and store launches - especially since adidas will want the shirt in their stores as quickly as possible. If not, we might see it launched and worn in the US on the tour, but not available to walk up and buy until after it - it'll certainly cause some angst if the physical shirt is available to buy over the counter in the US before it's available in the UK.

What do you think they’d sell at the US stadiums then? I assume they’d have some kit to sell to fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be tight by the looks of things - if they aren't ready to go yet, then you'd think they're still distributing kit - depending on who it is who will be doing the selling at those stadiums, it'll be about where they are in the pecking order for delivery. I believe that Fanatics are still the online vendor and we tend to go online first, so I guess they'll be high on that list, and as the new Gods of Villa Park, adidas will be right up on that list too - given Fanatics presence in the US, I'd imagine it'll be them on the tour - but whether they'll prioritise shipping kit out to the states over online orders in the UK will be the question. Selling the kit of a team from Birmingham to people in another country before you sell it at home would still be somewhat controversial. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amateurish. The reaction is amateurish… fans criticise other club fans for this kind of “bed wetting” yet our fan base does the same…. Every time. We all know why the kit delayed, we’re all not that bothered, really. We’ve seen the badge months ago, and got it out of system. Yet we still winge, we still moan, like all other fans. Embarrassing ourselves in the process. hypocrites, pathetic, amateur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like a last minute effort to save the situation. I wonder why that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
