Now that we've all had a moan about the new home shirt......
Does anybody know a date when we'll see the new away shirt?
I plan on buying a Euro shirt this summer, so unless the away shirt is something special that's where my spending will stop. The new training range looks like Chelsea FC leftovers and everything has gone up in price significantly.
Unless all these higher prices are to pay for the next ground redevelopment, it would appear we are having our pants pulled down. The new Liverpool shirt was revealed this morning, priced at £45! And you get a free t-shirt for pre-ordering!
A bit more market research next time I think, unless of course Cotton Traders have kept the rights to using green, red and white hoops? I would assume probably not.

I think that's just the home shirt OPT, and the team will be wearing it for the LI match, although admittedly I'm just guessing / going by last season so either of us could be correctOff Piste Tiger wrote:I think the new shirt is released on Saturday the 4/5/2013 ?
I wouldn't be surprised if the new 'away' (or change) kit isn't released until just prior to the new season, which iirc is how things went last season.
I reckon the club and/or club shop would know more than me/us.

I received an email from the club stating that the away shirt won't be available until the end if July.

Maybe a bit cynical but think the new away shirts should be the same as the new "leaked Home shirts" but with away printed on the back. This would allow for a larger profit margin for Canterbury and would not be too taxing for their designers. Also as an aside it could help the opposition next year to see which way we are going.

To see the new shirt go to www.canterbury.com. It s priced at £90.99 for the test top and £55.99 for the replica. Got to say not impressed with it. No stripes at all.
Re: Now that we've all had a moan about the new home shirt......
At least the Classic is shown at the link - I had fears that there wouldn't be one. However, given the pattern of the new shirt 51 quid is a lot for what is just a glorified polo shirt.cruiser1 wrote:To see the new shirt go to http://www.canterbury.com.

I'd prefer them a touch more traditional but these do hark back to the shirts worn 10 years ago. A substantial improvement.

Why oh why doesn't the club consult the fans? We've got such a great fanbase, the designers could produce 3 draft designs and see which one gained more support - after all, we're the ones forking out to buy and wear it. I predict that the latest one, which is seemingly designed to make our guys look insignificant [no chance!], will be offered as this year's - cut price from next March/April.

it is not actual that bad better than the last one but it looks too much like training shirt still good though.

And those who preferred the other two designs that weren't selected would cry shame and be moaning. No difference really.Lutontiger wrote:Why oh why doesn't the club consult the fans? We've got such a great fanbase, the designers could produce 3 draft designs and see which one gained more support
Bottom line - you/I/we don't have to buy it if it's that horrendous to us, I don't normally buy things I know I don't don't like - and then claim I've been ripped off or given a bad dealLutontiger wrote:after all, we're the ones forking out to buy and wear it.

Which is pretty much the same as any of the shirts over the last few years when it comes to kit change....Lutontiger wrote: will be offered as this year's - cut price from next March/April.
At today's game the new shirt actually grew on me, thought it looked OK out on the players on the pitch.

I can't believe people in marketing @ Canterbury get paid to design this stuff.
Appallingly dull and actually Next did a three stripe tee-shirt back in about 2002/2003. Or maybe Lord Next of Aspley Guise is about to become a sponsor ??
I am not buying one, end of.

I'd like to think that Canterbury took on the feedback from the last kit- too garish- but have then over compensated and made this too simple, too training top like-
it is an improvement though- i'm really looking forward to the 2017 kit should have it perfect by then!

Wish someone at Tigers would grow a pair, they're going from one extreme to another. They've not long had this seasons kit when all of a sudden here we are again with yet another overpriced kit. Don't they realise we're not all made of money.
