If no one comments (or moans??) then how are the club supposed to get feedback about the design or price of their merchandise? That training gear looks horrible and is very, very expensive. I don't see the problem in saying that's the case. Would the club sell more if it were a nicer design? Does the cost put people off regardless of the look if it? If we are not allowed to comment no one will ever know either way. Comments are fine as this is a forum but words like , vile , putrid , fugly to describe a training shirt is over the top. Of course people are free to like and dislike whatever they chose. I just can't stand the knee jerk reaction to everything related to our club, people on here seem to just slag eveything off without even knowing what's going on. In regards the shirts they seem like every other training top that other clubs use , also in regards to price same as everywhere else. I can see your points, but why should we, as customers, need to know "what's going on". isn't it a pretty simple case of an organisation who usually has something available, but doesn't, thus disappointing customers? and maybe sponsors? If you were in a park on a summers day and the ice cream van has a big sign on it saying 'sorry, no ice cream', do I need to commiserate with the owner for whatever problem he's had / ask him what the problem is? No. not IMO. He's a business, selling a service, and for whatever reason he's not got it spot on.

Nah, not nitpicking. Just giving you the respect of a thorough reply to your post because I like the cut of your gib. I actually quite liked last season's training top as it goes. I agree with you about some of the ott posts about marquee signings, DC etc. FairPlay Hugo , I misinterpreted what you said , I take back the Knit picking comment. Get a room.

I seem to have not been clear in my post , apologies , when I said knee jerk reaction to everything and not know what's going on , it was a generalisation with how people over react on here without knowing all the facts eg DC and Leeds , Taylor contract etc etc.

Not fussed about waiting for the new kits, just quite surprised at the club announcing we can pre order Them when we haven't even seen them yet.
Poor marketing decision imo.. Did someone say bradshaw had stayed on 😏

At least if felt like they were working with fans when choosing the kits.
Brave New world I suppose.

Then again if M&S or Next didn't have their summer or winter stock ready in the shops on time you'd expect them to explain why? Plus this season's slightly different as we're now playing in some odd training gear and also have the Sabadell match up next, a relationship built around both clubs playing in the quarters. In the bigger picture it's nothing to worry about but if this had happened under NH/BB they would have been totally slaughtered on here.

Have to agree, I thought yesterday it looked terrible wearing that awful training kit, new kit should be advertised with the players wearing it in friendly matche's.

Are we going to have a plan back on our kit? or a panel for the number?
seems to be new rules regarding the backs of shirts and it seems striped kits are seemingly having full colour backs (not sure if this depends on the colour contrasts)
