Any news on this yet, its looking unlikely it will be out for christmas.

was in the shop last week and the home shirt is due to be out around the same time as the away shirt becomes available!, although there are no pictures?

It's being revealed on the 11th at the event on the Friday just had an email bout it

My daughter has been into the club shop today to buy me the reds home shirt for christmas, they said they could not guarantee before christmas, so she as decided to buy a different gift for me.

Very disappointing, is it me or is this the same each year, lost opportunities!

same old story year after year after year - no wonder we can't attract new fans

Id like to see an official announment about a shirt delay, they cant make the same mistake twice can they?

To be fair, I don't think that any potential fans will be thinking, "I won't watch them because I can't get a shirt for Christmas". It's more an issue of yet another thing that will irritate an infuriate existing fans.




There can't really be an official announcement of a delay when there's not been an official announcement of the availability.

The new playing shirt will be on show at the "Talk Rugby Forum" tomorrow night (Friday) for anyone interested, along with controversial Kevin Ashcroft, Steve Kerry,Alan Hunte, Andy Burgess & Lee Briers has put himself in the "firing line" for Q/A's. 8pm start in the Platinum at the Willows

in fairness to the club there cant be an official announcement of a delay untill the delay is official!

lets say for example the shirts get sent over here by ship i would presume from somewhere like China on a sunday, the shirts may be expected on these shores the following sunday, but i am sure there must be security checks and lots of red tape to go through before being officially allowed into the country?

lets say for example they were being shipped this weekend, that would make them hit these shore next weekend, a few days in holding for security purposes/checks and then forwarded to the correct destination ie the club.

so that will make them available for say the 21st of dec. but could be as late as 24th or maybe even later depending on relevent security tasks being carried out?

just a thought

It all begs the question: Where's the Myler money gone??

Does it??

Can't really see why, doubt we would've spent the Myler money on replica shirts?

Pretty sure there was a long thread about where that money went a few weeks ago.

I think ex.salf.uni is makin a funny? it seems when anything negative happens the myler money is the 1st thing brought up regardless if its linked to subject or not.

I think its funny anyway might even start doin it myself soon.....

we paid the Post Office with it to deliver the new shirts on time, they are still in an unmarked sorting office in London, so even using the money wisely we still get ed.

Whoosh!?!

Quite a nice shirt, not a million miles different to this... hem.passagen.se/nalshirts/90 ... ma9293.gif

Before we go blaming the club for any potential delay we need to look at the manufacturer. Kooga are useless!!!

My wife is a Wigan fan

and this time last year I was waiting for the special charity shirt that wigan were wearing in the boxing day friendly to arrive as one of her christmas presents. The Wigan club were tearing their hair out with Kooga over broken promises and deadlines. In the end kooga had to pay for couriers to get the shirt out on time and my wife's arrived on christmas eve at the holiday cottage in Windermere where we spent a big family Christmas.

The poor girls in the Wigan shop were frantic each time I rang up to find out what was happening. It was them that were dealing with all the stick and not the people who'd caused the problem!

All I'm saying is we need to find out for sure before we go lambasting the club. If Wigan's retail dept have difficulties (considering how much bigger it is than ours) then maybe it's not the clubs fault?

Don't suppose anyone has a picture from the event last night?

Any pictures from last night?? Wouldn't mind seeing the new shirt

OK, I have pictures, but I'm not going to post them just yet. It was a very good gesture from the club to support Forever Reds by showing the shirt at the event, but as there were only 17 fans there, I don't really think you can class it as a shirt launch. As the club haven't made the shirt public themselves yet on their own site, I'm going to give the club a couple of days to either show the kit on the official site, or contact me if they don't want the pics going on this forum first.

Literally 17 fans?!?

YES!!! It was quite embarrassing, had to apologise at the start, but, for those who did turn up, what a cracking night

the guests on the panel were exceptionally good. Kevin was his usual "controversial" self, Lee Briers, Andy Burgess, Alan Hunte & Steve Kerry answered questions very honestly.
Sky came in for a little bit of a bashing

& the question of the Challenge Cup being de-valued from Sky was a no brainer from all the panel.
Lee, being part of the team to have won it most recently said, it is what every player aspires to win, as did the rest of the guests, & the feeling of lifting that cup is mind blowing.

Think the timing of the event was a big reason for the low turnout, but a Sports Persons dinner will be on the agenda for the new year + Race Nights & another Talk Rugby Forum, with some Legends as guests, so we need the support from everyone, look forward to seeing you all at next event.

Any chance u can message me the pics mate??

As a few of us remarked on Friday night, it’s probably the most faithful design the club has produced since 2003 but looks remarkably like Arsenal’s home shirt circa 1992:

i never realised a shirt could have character until Kooga started making them without any
