That can only be judged on pre sales v pre sales last time. They have clearly pushed pre orders far more this time. Would like to final sales and how they compare. Last time people waited to see what the kit looked like, they then bought it in droves because it was good.
I can see the second spell of sales being much much lower.
Also worth noting they have released three kits in one go. Don't think they did that last time, but happy to be told I am wrong?
Agree ... the actual comment doesn't have a lot of credibility given we're talking pre sales only.
Mine went back yesterday although I'd imagine the vast majority who don't like it will just wear it anyway and not bother returning. Also there will always be people and kids that don't really care too much, just want the latest shirt and that's fine.
I fully understand why PB would publicly be pushing back on criticism, of course he would. I hope though that privately he (whoever responsible) is taking the wide range of views, processing them and then feeding back into the next "release" or redesign. That would be the mark of a good businessman!
Order of the Brown Nose, I assume
Given that Barber seems to get a lot of these kinds of half-arsed emails on trivial topics from fans, and apparently replies to them all quickly, politely and sensibly, and given that he also has a much bigger job to do running the football club, do we actually have any hard evidence that it really is him replying to them?
It's perfectly possible that there's a graduate intern or similar, on a lot less than £450k p.a. doing it (with a brief to make sure that they send only well-written personalised replies), and that it's only the more serious, difficult ones which get left for PB himself to reply to.

Surely the bigger question is - why not release the Orange kit straight away?
Know a fair few people who have asked me when it's avaliable and it's got a lot of love on here as well as Twitter etc...

Odd bounce! But on this topic, this is the first nike home shirt I've bought as it no longer comes with an iron on sponsor, huzzah! I can't be the only one who has done the same!
I'm pretty certain he answers them all himself.

But, it is an iron on sponsor logo isn't it? Just individual letters rather than a large white patch. Mums will still need to heed not to wash too got or tumble dry otherwise it could curl up and peel off.

Guess that comment was based on a 400% increase in sales - obviously that increase in sales has nothing to do with our first season in the Premier League!

I might e-mail PB and ask if we can change the name of the team to AAABrighton and Hove Albion, so we can start the season at the top of the table aphabetically before a ball is kicked, rather than outside the play-off zone, in APPALLING seventh spot
Play off zone, what league have you got us playing in

Thought you went to watch a game of football, not a fashion show!!!

Who the hell puts a football shirt in the tumble dryer and why would anyone put it on a hot wash, for folks sake it's not muddy, you've only worn it to watch a game of football...!
But a reasonable presumption I'd say.
I'm not.
