Just seen on the official site they've had a limited delivery of adults and kids in the away shirt and a delivery of adults sizes in the lollipop mans kit.

They say they will provide an update on the home shirt as and when they have one. You'd have to think getting some home shirts would be priority?!

I dont know what the cause of the delay is but it doesnt look great when Leeds put out a press release saying they've sold 10k shirts in the Xmas build up.

Awful cock up in the delay in launching the new home shirt.
Whoever is responsible needs a kick up the arris.
Every season it seems we can't launch a kit in a timely manner. Poor management and planning can be the only explanation for repeated indescresions in this area.

Not something that affects me, but the constant failures in this area are pretty appalling.. Great sales opportunity missed... And it's not as if Xmas dates vary FFS!!!

How badly run is our commercial department compared to sides like the Rhinos
Here's a heads up to them for future years

Xmas is a time when people tend to buy each other gifts and fans of sports sides tend to like receiving their sides new shirts at the earliest opportunity, so Before Xmas would be nice

It's surprising because Lenagan seems to be a savvy businessman but these constant issues year in year out surely do the club no favours.

Had the home shirt been on sale pre Christmas id have probably just asked my missus or my parents to get it for me. They nag for ideas and aside from something like that I don't really have any. When it's left up to me to buy it I probably won't bother. That's £47 they've lost out on and many more will be in the same boat.

I was saying the same thing at work yesterday. I can't believe that IL has let it happen so frequently. Someone is responsible for this I'm surprised that IL puts up with it.

This is just bread and butter stuff. Your basics!!

Not good enough.

Couldn't agree more.
At times we are fantastic as a club eg the young lad from Hindley who designed the U19s shirt and a great video on Wigan TV to what appears to be total incompetence in launching a new kit in time for Xmas.
IL must take ultimate responsibility for this. Very disappointing.
I know I'm very critical at times but expect much better from the club.

You would think so, but it gets worse. Like many I buy the kids a top each as part of their presents and it's always on their list. I have been keeping the money back and an eye on any launch day, and now I'm thinking it's not going to come so I will do the next best thing and get them a gift voucher for warriors world so they can their own as soon as they come in stock. Went in store only to find out they have no gift vouchers left as it seems many have had the same idea. I Can't even do that now, it's past being a joke! I asked if they were getting any vouchers in before Christmas, probably not was the reply.

I went into the store with my two lads yesterday in the hope that they may have a couple of home kits in their sizes.

They didn't even have the home kit on display, I asked one of the staff why not, she wearily advised that it was being used for a photoshoot.

Whilst I was in the shop (approx 10 mins) at least a dozen people asked about the home kit.

What a clanger!!

There may be valid reasons for the kits not being available in time, change of sponsor etc, but not to have gift vouchers is inexcusable.

Well, quite. Not much use for Xmas if you don't live in Wigan, though.

Kids kits are not allowed to have sponsors on who are betting companies so were always going to be "blank" so that is no excuse for not having the junior sizes available for Christmas. The deal with the new sponsor won't have happened overnight.

What would they do if it fell through at the last minute and they then get a kid friendly sponsor?

There's no chance they'd ever produce shirts on the basis of a 'possible' deal until it was signed and sealed.

I'm not disagreeing that it's all been a bit farcical though. They really need to get their acts sorted on this front. Leeds have sold 10,000 home shirts pre Christmas, we'll be lucky to shift 50 on Christmas Eve!

The kids kits have "WIGAN TV" across the chest in the style of the club sponsor. They aren't blank.

The fluorescent one may be handy if there is a floodlight failure.

is it just me or was last seasons kits better than the new ones? i liked last seasons a lot more.

In terms of the design or quality?

Are the club doing a players version this year? I'm sure they said they were doing one last year but I don't think they ever did...

it terms of design, i haven't seen the quality yet.

They did do a players version last year.

I looked on the online store every few weeks and never saw one.

They did do a players version it was 65 quid or so,as for the quality of this years kit i'd say last years shirts were much better at first look at least ive only seen them in the shop of course and i wasnt impressed,to the point where i didnt buy my husband his and will now wait till the next batch comes in.
