NEW AWAY KIT

Sunderland's official Twitter tweeting no news just yet , also had another email plugging the home shirt so sounds like it has been delayed

I suspect they are realising they are gonna be left with a shit load of home shirts and are delaying it in the hope that as we get close to the season start that people will bite the bullet and buy the new home shirt.....For me its worrying that the best kit I have seen so far this season is the keepers top which looks class.
 
I dont know what to expect, our home kit is a 5 year Milan template (looked ok black and red) the blue sociadad version is just as bad as hours. Germany had a grey version of last years 3rd strip! We might end up with that!
 
I'm assuming that's not you in your twitter :lol:

@voyeurville on twitter for every one interested.
 
I don't understand how SAFC just manage to balls up everything they touch.

If it was my job to sort the kits. I'd have the designs picked as early as possible. I'd look on here for what seems popular. No all red backs. An away kit with a nod to the Rowell blue one has been asked for so many times. Id release them in a single reveal, not piss about with little drip feed snippets. I'd have the home kit out for the last game of the previous season and the away kit out before the kids break up for summer. That way if people want them for their hols or whatever they're both available.

We haven't change supplier or sponsor so there's no reason for a delay. As a club that needs to maximise all revenue streams at the minute we just seem hopeless.

Obviously the delay could be at adidas' end so I'd like to think whoever did the contract included clauses for damages due to supply delays. As so often the case with SAFC I suspect we haven't....

When football kits are usually discounted to some extent from January onwards, I really don't understand why clubs don't get them on the shelves at the earliest available opportunity. Maximise it's revenue potential.

An added dropped bollock this year, is that the home shirt is so bad I can imagine a lot of those people who usually purchase a kit might hold off and wait to see what the away one looks like.

Usually takes a couple of weeks from the reveal for them to be in the shops anyway, so it will be well into the season when it is released. Pretty much missing a good chunk of the holiday season!

It's to sell a ton of home strips first. Leave a gap then roll out the away then people re open their wallets
 
Probably get released on Saturday.

We'll play the first half in the home kit and the away kit in the second half like we did in the first game at the stadium.
