I’m led to believe the jersey on the website (sans big yellow panel) is correct. Hope that’s the case too as not a fan of the big yellow panel personally.

I hope so, firstly because it’s much cleaner and secondly because asking people to order a kit that looks different to the pics or isn’t the same as the plying strip would get a lot of blowback.

Upon watching it back, there’s also a disclaimer on the vid that the jersey in the video isn’t the final version, and to view the website for the correct design.

I’m feeling better now. The website designs are much better than the shirts in the video.

I will admit I skimmed parts of it. Good to know and I think the change was for the best.

I prefer (and would have bought) the more "Boca" version. But the home kit (2011/12 Hummel away kit throwback) is pretty ace.

How good is it that we've been around long enough to do throwback kits, btw?

Very well-spoken, polite, media-trained lads. Two generations of awesome Coasties. Brilliant jersey too & a great idea to include the names.

First time I've seen someone actually wearing the new home kit, looks great, much better on than in the pictures.

Did I miss something in that video? The blue kit with master foods is the training kit afaik.

What's the situation with shirts for those that didnt get on the first pre-order? Is there going to be another round or some additional stock coming with the pre order stock? I was looking to pick up one for myself and 2 kids but there's nothing available for the kids.

 

[VonBowellski]

Any more word on when the next round of jerseys are coming in for purchase?

. i've heard next year's kit is a cracker ... in fact the best ever!
. it is truly unique
. yet honouring the past
. it somehow demonstrates our place in the community
. and has some small details the fans will love but can't be revealed yet
. our kit suppliers have truly done an amazing job with this kit
. you'll see that all the effort we have put into changing the f**king design again will be worth it (even if we don't actually sell enough shirts to make it worth it)

Keeping these kits for next year wouldn’t be the worst option. Would let the club order more without fear of having to firesale them, give people a chance to order them with confidence they’ll be able to wear them to a home game while they’re current.

 

[priorpeter]

You can't cry about budget and not let us buy shirts at the same time can you?!

Dude - supply is at the hands of the manufacturer. Don’t try and tie the club’s tight budget to manufacturer restrictions, c’mon.

Well an update at least would be appreciated. It's February...

Merch sales should be an important source of revenue for a football club. It's pretty fundamental to be able to sell your fans a shirt. I see Phoenix have the same issue (also Paladin) but you can order a Kappa shirt right off the WSW website. Maybe a different manufacturer/supplier might be in order next season?

Apparently there is a global pandemic playing havoc on supply chains.
Who knew?
Not you apparently ?

Interesting, where did you hear this from mate?

 

[Ironbark]

A global what?

. apologies, it was a bit of a piss-take

. we get a similar message every year, just leave the bloody thing alone. a lot of time, energy and consequently money is devoted to this every year. I do wonder if they may actually sell more kit if they left it alone ... maybe even limit it to every other year

Just randomly checked the CCM online shop and there are some jerseys in stock if people are still waiting. Select sizes only. Just ordered my Elite

The quality of the Coasties cup shirt was poor. Badly stitched, already the seams are puckering (indicates poor sewing).
Are the main team shirts better quality? Happy to invest as lockdown has not been kind to my waistline but not paying over $100 for badly made rubbish
