So on the chase for kids away kits this week;

Got two pairs of required shorts sizes online.

Managed to get to City Centre club shop this evening - two pairs of kids socks. No shirts.
Asked - one left of one of required sizes at Arena. Drive over to collect. So one shirt down.

Asked about re-stocks in town centre store
"Club have put in an order of more to be made - no idea when in"

Asked about Away Pro shirt in Arena store. "No idea"

It should not be like this!!!
If anybody from the club reads this - retail of kits this year has been the worst in a while.

After seeing one at an early match I B decided I wanted an adult home goalkeeper’s shirt. I was prepared to pay the full price because I like it so much but there’s no indication when they will be back in stock. It’s got to the stage now where I’ll probably wait and see if they come back in and wait for a reduction or offer. That ‘love it got to have it’ moment has passed so the club has probably missed x1 full price sale

Its definitely getting worse isn't. The Head of Retail told me before the Norwich game that the away pros were on site and would be on sale the following Tuesday. 6 days on from that and still nothing. Originally we were told they'd be out in the second week of August. An absolute shambles.

They aren’t in stock though? It clearly says ‘Please note that all outstanding pre-order purchases will be prioritised as soon as stock becomes available.’ I take that to read a) not in stock to despatch immediately and b) my order will be fulfilled (and quite right too) after people - unknown number- who have already ordered one and are waiting for it.

I’m more of a spontaneous shirt purchaser - I don’t need many because they are expensive and I only wear them to the match. If the club get the stock and replenishment right they will probably sell more shirts to people like me. I actually wanted one for me and one for my nephew in Ireland but his birthday has been gone now.

Has to all be an issue with the company that have the UK licence. Can't imagine Doug personally going to Denmark for meetings with Hummel to discuss what colour the third keeper kit will be next season. Someone would've gotten the boot by now if the issues were caused on our side

The issues have definitely been caused on our side for the last 3 seasons. Name me another Hummel supplied club that have the same issues with late release, stock levels, or quality?

Delays - obviously sponsorship - no sleeve/short sponsor - XL motors suddenly appearing.

Stock - overhead in club shop yesterday - they didn't expect to sell as much away kit as they have.
(Guessing they therefore put their eggs in the training/travel gear basket - but looks like the f**ked that up as they have just too much - not a lot of which looks like it is selling!)

Quality - difficult one. I've had hundreds of Hummel items between me/kids. Only ever had one issue.
The more print there is - more chance of it coming off - look after it and generally it should be ok.

Yeah I would think they are stocking up on pro away as they didn’t think they’d sell out of the home pro as quickly as they did, and now getting more in is taking ages.

yeah the tops that me and the kids have had recently - the ones that get worn (and therefore washed) the most do suffer more - although obviously kits having the badges come off after one wear/wash isn’t good.
But we’ve recently gone to washing inside out and not tumble drying football shirts and that has helped massively.

Late release can probably chalk up to us sorting sponsorship, stock levels and quality issues though there seems to be more of an issue this year. Stock levels and quality won't be down to us. Maybe stock levels, but someone would've definitely been sacked if they put in a paltry order for launch. Most other aspects of the club have seen improvements except this is same old. Have to assume King's got on to the merchandising team to sort the issues we've had last few seasons so by absolute guesswork, seems Sportspro(?) can't quite keep up. His meeting with Hummel had to be in regards to that surely?

Does feel like this is where a lot of the issues come from. Low temp, inside out, air dry and they're fine. Seen some shirt collectors not even put them in the machine, they stick a load in the bath in cold water for an age. Can't be bothered with that personally

Time to move on from Hummel I think. When is the contract up?

Think I read that Doug King was over at the Hummel HQ recently, so I wouldn't be surprised if we extend the current contract with them.
They're certainly better than Nike, Puma and Castore, but I wouldn't mind seeing what a new manufacturer could come up with for us

Better at our level than Adidas too. Plenty of good brands out there though - Kappa, Macron & O'Neills would be my picks. Joma & Jako do some nice stuff too but can be a bit hit & miss.

Feels as though we don't get the attention we used to from Hummel. Maybe a brand re-entering the market like Reebok would be good too, or a smaller brand wanting to grow their exposure.

I read a comment the other day from a Blackburn fan (or possibly some other team supplied by Macron) that they have their quality issues as well, but the main issue is sizing. Once you get past size L, they don't get any wider, just longer.

They do get wider but quite a bit longer too. I often have to go up a couple of sizes in Macron, they can sometimes end up looking a bit like a dress on my 5' 10" body. 🤣
