Thought this was pretty interesting. Didn't realise how much Nike are slowly moving away from football kits (at least in the UK). The curse of the Tesco bin bag shirt

Looking at that if Hummel only have three English clubs to deal with why do our shirts always seem to be last minute?

Maybe they've got plenty of other foreign clubs on the books, or is it us taking ages to sort out sponsors?

Shirts finally arrived this morning. The badge on my lads goalie shirt is so wonky. Shite quality, particularly for the price.
Last season the home shirt badge was wonky, the away shirt sponsor was even wonkier, and the shorts had ink all over them. Each meant a trip back to the Superstore to replace them as I'd bought them piecemeal.

Not getting this seasons'. First time in over a decade I'm not getting at least one. Over-priced and poor quality. Says something when the knock-off ones people wear down the local seem to have better quality control.

Yeah think they do quite a few in Spain, but we do usually seem to be last.

Definitely prefer Hummel to a few of the brands on there. Castore are supposed to be awful quality

Wore the pro shirt for a 5s game yesterday, the players' gps sports bra things must come in handy, as the ventilation holes on the shirt are basically little cheese graters. Fair warning

Its because our commercial team are shit and have been for years. Hummel are ready to go to get shirts made in April of every year (know someone who works for them) its our pissing about with sponsors etc that is the hold up

Its the one thing thats got worse every season under Doug

If we are still with Monzo next year I hope we do something a bit more radical with how the sponsor is displayed. Personally would like to see a throwback to the ASICS design with stripes and the sponsor in a yellow block.

If it's still monzo surely it'd be a coral red block.

Playing Minecraft with a bloke who works in Sports Direct doesn't count as knowing someone who works for Hummel. You utter drip.

My away shirt arrived, I'm going to save so much money on lightbulbs in the house now.

I said similar to the Mrs the other day when in the club shop. The corner of the store where they are displayed/for sale is just a much brighter place than anywhere else in the shop.

Also noticeable that a few of the tops waiting to be sold already had some of the Monzo lettering lifting off the shirt. A new low for quality and longevity ?

When I was in there before the Luton game some people were saying the badge had been lifting off the pro shirt….

and during the game against derby you could see the Hummel badge had come off Mason-Clark’s shirt already. Not good.

But this has been going on for a long time now. I'm unsure why someone in the club isn't questioning quality control.

Me & my son were stood getting autographs as the players arrived for the last home game of Matty Godden's final season. He had a training top on where either the badge or a large part of the badge was missing. A guy stood next to me queried it jokingly. Godden's reply was something along the words of "yeah just the normal Hummel and their crap quality". So there you go even out of contract players calling them out.

i ordered a adult medium online arrived yesterday tried it on, very tight for a medium but was ok round the neck, so jumped into the car to exchange for a large at the club shop if fitted ok, that was like a sack on me, so i had a refund and i am glad i did, the quality is absolutely shocking not worth £6 let alone £60.
Same experience here. I ordered a £60 medium. Much snugger than last year's but I've worn it running so can't return. I hate the fit and the quality so thought fuck it I'll order a large pro version as well. Arrived yesterday and its like a fucking sack.

So now I'm waiting for the pro mediums to come back in stock in the hope that they are less snug than the £60 mediums. Absolutely shambolic state of affairs. 🤣

And they still haven't got the away pro shirts on sale.

For some reason they seem to have missed out a size between M and L.

I got a training top a couple of seasons ago and the badge came off after the first wash on 30c. The quality of Hummel is shocking.

Loads of suppliers have quality issues with the heat pressed badges and decals. When Chaplin came on for Ipswich against Brum his EFL badge was peeling off within minutes.

If you want quality you have to pay extra.
