The only way to get a shirt is to enter the crystal dome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why they didnt do reveal both kits ill never know Because if you release both kits at once, you don’t get the same buzz for each one, and sales on both will be down. The kit will be revealed next Thursday. It’s all good. These guys know what they’re doing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stagger the release and people who bought the first release are more inclined to buy again, more so if they like the latest release more. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, no way I'd buy two if they released them all at the same time. Got suckered in to buying the home kit because of a slight discount, the first with Adidas, potential iconic season affiliation, etc. If the third kit has a standalone lion and looks good I may well buy another one. Had they released this at the same time I wouldn't have bought the home kit as well. Edited August 9 by MrBlack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do get it is very frustrating, as we seem to be the last to release most seasons. I think it'll be more organised next year and the home shirt will be available for the Walsall friendly, well that's my hope LOL UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had to wear a random off the peg white kit for a couple of pre season games because we literally didn't have the kits ready. I imagine the club (understandably) prioritised releasing the home kit and we're playing catch up with the away kit It's far from ideal, but understandable given the quick turnaround of going from Castore to Adidas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the major manufacturers. Nike and Puma have been fairly slow too, even for their top tier elite clubs. just a hence year in the kit world and when Villa are last to order, we’re last to get it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be embarrassing not having a away kit ready for Saturday. Im sure that wont happen though mind you. I dont know how the process works from transitioning from one company to another in terms of manufacturing design etc. But you would imagine they would have said needs to be ready by x date 25 minutes ago, floody555 said: Negative impact?
