When will the club reveal the new kit?

[Guy Fawkes]

Yes, hold onto a manager for more than one season, apparently.

Techincally not true, he held onto the last manager for a couple of seasons. The last Head Coach however..........

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

last year the kit was revealed back in april, but it hasn't been shown yet, are nike reluctant to reveal kits in may or is it that we're waiting for our new manager, or something else.

If that's your concern in mid-May, before the play-offs have even run their course, Why Don't You Just Switch Off Your NSC And Go Out And Do Something Less Boring Instead?

Barber was appointed on May 28th 2012.

 

[Icy Gull]

Paul Barber was due to design it this week but the hunt for a new manager has scuppered that. I believe he has some time in his diary next Thursday afternoon to quickly come up with something.

Dick Knight could help out surely? We'll be in need a new club Seagull Logo too and he's brill at those. I'm sure the current Albion hierarchy wouldn't be petty enough to hold grudges and would welcome his input.

August, after the Nike have exhausted shirt sales from the World Cup.

In the match day programme which celebrated 15 years with Errea towards the end of the season, there was an article inside with their representative that said the shirt change for the following season is signed off in March, although it mentioned that 1 year they signed off the shirt as late as April.
I know we have changed manufacturer but this would suggest that the Shirt would already have been signed off.
They have to have sufficient time to manufacture the official kit and all the associated training kit required by end of June for the team and supporters.
It's really just a case of when to launch it which may have been affected by this week's event's.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

It's more to do with when they can produce the kit. It was signed off ages ago but I guess they will not make an announcement until nearer the time that it will be in stock. As I said above, my guess is August after the World Cup. Even with Errea they had problems in getting it in stock for pre season. At least there won't be any issues with chasing shirt sponsorship and the delays this caused kit production in the past.

Don't think you're far from it there, I reckon once the WC furore has died down, then we'll see it, I'd be surprised to see it before Jules Rimet's been held aloft.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

Quick someone get that blue 1983 style and the white away version up sharpish and then claim to be in the know

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Barber was appointed on May 28th 2012.

Which makes it an even more remarkable achievement

okay mate

Seeing all of the clubs that Nike now supply they'll do well to have them ready for the start of the season.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

White stripe, blue stripe, white stripe, blue stripe.... repeat until meet round the back. Red number and lettering on back.

Blue or white shorts and socks depending on mood.

Job done.

I fear with Nike that this may be the (basic) case.
For away substitute red and black.
For third .......... Might have to wait until home and away sales have been exhausted.

Personally I hope it's here well before the end of June and the summer break in Majorca. Not just a shirt mind you, shorts and socks form an essential element to any world traveller's wardrobe, and whilst a pound or two missing from my 'solid' midriff would not go amiss totally I feel confident that Nike will make the kit with an amount of elasticity.

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

Dick Knight managed to fit designing in around running the club. Poor show from Barber

Yes and let's remind ourselves of the expert use of WordArt for our sponsors name. Absolutely shocking!

 

[The Legend that IS Lawro]

Picture it now. Pre Rod Stewart gig, the new, previously unnamed boss (let us name him 'Paul' for discussion sake) propels himself James Bond Olympic style from a speeding helicopter directly on to the stage SPORTING THE NEW KIT.
This opportunity to kill two birds with one stone should prove irresistible and sell the remaining Rod tickets.
Imagine the sharp intake of breath as the new face is revealed, names are muttered as the falling body heads close to the pitch.
'It's Harry' 'Like the thick blue stripes' 'No, it's Sven, and the blue is too dark'. Just imagine it as all falls into focus and the new incumbent clad in stripes proudly ejaculates '....and now it's time for Maggie May' before handing over to the maestro.

Come on Paul Barber, here is your chance for an event to remember for all, both young and old

I heard the task has been given to Burke and that he has some unusual ideas with colour combinations

 

[driller]

Same as Barnsley this year except blue and white stripes.
