Is this true? anyone tried to buy one recently? I took up Paddy powers offer of a free shirt with a £40 bet of us finishing in the top 6 and have just recieved an e mail saying there are no shirts left and now have to wait until September. Is this a fob off or are they really all sold out?

    But on a brighter note the name and number printing machine is now working.

    I bought one for my son before the Swansea game at JD Sports on Bugsby Way - they had loads but the club shop has sold out apparently.

    is this the shirt that 'most people' thought were disgusting and conference league standard?

    i know it wasn't most people, but that was the wording used by those who were saying it wouldn't sell....

    Fair enough sounds as if they have really sold out then which I suppose is good but how many did they have in the first place? I wonder if Palarse or Millsmall have sold out of their shirts? ;o)

    This has been done before.
    Because of the "late" sponsorship deal with JD, Joma did not have time to get the shirts ready for the start of the season. CAFC paid extra to get an initial delivery (not sure how many), with the next delivery due end August / early September.
    NB We shouldn't complain about the late sponsorship as WBA still haven't found anyone!

    "is this the shirt that 'most people' thought were disgusting and conference league standard?"

    That was me! I'll hold my hands up and admit it; I thought the new home strip was crap. I don't think my views represented the views of most fans at the time but I have to say that I stand well and truly corrected. I don't think I can remember a shirt being more widely worn by our fans. At Watford in particular, I couldn't believe how many fans were wearing the new strip, good to see.

    I still think it looks crap, but then as I don't buy shirts it doesn't really bother me - it's just a shirt after all. As long as it's red then that'll do for me.

    Suzi, I think the initial photos didn't do the kit justice, and highlighted the horrible sponsor more than when you're looking at it normally, but the figures are massaged as a result of the club not getting the away kits in, in time, so a lot more homes sold, than normal.

    Totally agree about the photos and on the original post, i did state that many times.
    no one has claimed it has been the fastest selling kit of all times, just that it has sold out of the initial stock. yes, there is no away stock as yet although personally I'd make my mind up regarding which shirt i preferred and would wait if it was the away shirt that I was going to purchase.
    I must say I have been surprised by the amount of this seasons shirts people have been wearing to games. it does seem like they're very popular, but of course, its only speculative, and doesn't mean a thing. i'll try to find out exactly how many have been sold.

    I liked it when I saw the original pictures and I like it even more now Ive seen it "live" so to speak. I'm on the cusp of middle age so not necessarily the target market but to me it looks more of a casual wear than the old one which you would obviously wear to games but not necessarily out with your mates.
