Why? Other than for commercial reasons and to screw a few more quid out of those gullible enough to buy one I can se no reason whatsoever for this. To the best of my knowledge, no one in the Championship plays in any combination of red and dark grey! http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/English_Football_League/season/2016-2017/championship.html
Why have we released that when our home kit only clashes with a handful of teams and our away kit clashes with none of those?
Correct. No clash Huddersfield Newcastle Norwich Brighton Birmingham Reading Dee dar Leeds Wolves Qpr Fulham Burton Ipswich Preston Derby Wigan Blackburn Cardiff Clashes with home kit but not away kit Bristol Brentford Forest Villa Rotherham
Looks ugly in my opinion. They've gone for a simple two colour effort with everything white with red detailing, even the sponsors logo fits in with that design. Then they sewed on a fussy multi coloured badge. Our away kit shows the way to handle our badge on simple kits and this ain't it
They cant supply home or away kits that people want, so heres a third one for them to be unable to supply.
But we've never needed a third kit for the piggy blunts. Sad to see the club going down this grubby route for the sole reason of extracting more money from the fans - sorry, customers. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Can't see us selling many. Getting too cold for short sleeves to show it off and it's the worst of our three kits as it's bland.
FA Cup R3 on the horizon? Only reason I can think of?!? I'm sure you have to submit 3 alternatives at the start of the season. With the non availability of the home shirts it's maybe an option to appease unhappy shoppers?!?
Well, I like the kit, and I'm glad they've released it. (Even though I do agree we don't really need another kit). I went into the club shop last week with a view to buying a few Christmas/ Birthday presents. I came out with nothing as there was absolutely no stock in anything I wanted. The other thing is, that this is the most "feminine" thing the club has in stock. There is absolutely nothing for women.
I don't massively like it but I did think it would be the one that I could probably get away with most. I know I could wear any and have done previously but I think I'd feel more comfortable in this one. Still won't have a size that fits properly though!
