Gonna take my girlfriend to her first Cov game on the 31st of October, she's decided she wants to buy a shirt so she fits in ! Do they do Women's shirts or are they just adults and kids ?

Thanks folks

Pretty sure It was stated no Women's shirts available through the current provider.

No women's versions 'because the demand isn't there'. Not sure where their research came from, as even if it was low numbers, I'm sure they'd have sold.

Women wear blokes tops and they can look good in a football shirt. My mate looks six months pregnant in his !

Man Utd one of the few that do and the design got called sexist as it shows cleavage. Don't see the problem myself

Some people just moan about everything if they don't like the one that shows the cleavage buy the mans one what is so difficult.

Women's tops always have shorter sleeves and lower necklines because women like to show off their necklaces and bracelets. If the top is too low, wear a white T-shirt under it.

Not sure its demand for us in particular as just sports don't do them for any clubs. Just get a mens one in a smaller size.

The club doesn't do anything to acknowledge it has female supporters, sadly. The one exception is baby girls, for whom a host of pale pink items are available. Yes, of course women can buy a man's, just like XXXL could buy a XXL and cut the seams open but if the club didn't cater for the fuller figure some of us would rightly moan. It's about inclusion and acknowledging they exist. Currently the club ignores and excludes female fans IMO.
Plus smaller sizes of women's would be boys sizes. Put yourself in their shoes for a minute. Would you be happy to purchase an item for yourself in a child of the opposite gender's size? How would you feel if you had to buy a little girl's shirt? It's humiliating, basically.
Very stupid as they are losing sales.

They don't do an XXXL and I haven't seen people moaning about it. Not really down to the club if Just Sports don't do them. I'm sure I've seen women at games with this seasons kit and it looks fine. Its not like the girls kit should be pink or something, its the same shirt!

All fine and and dandy but you have ignored the actual point of inclusion. The club should cater for all fans not just a few and the rest have to make do, that's the point.

I guess it is supply and demand so Just Sports must have judged its not worth getting them manufactured for what they would get back

Can women not wear mens?

I have had to buy a little girl a shirt, I just bought her a small boys. My wife has had some of the older shirts, she just got the relevant mens size.

Curiosity got the better of me. Checked other L1 clubs, only 3 do womens kits (Barnsley, Swindon and Walsall), 2 clubs haven't even got this seasons kit on sale yet!

Also note our shirts are on sale as adult, not mens. To me a football shirt is pretty unisex. Most people only wear them at games anyway, as my mum would say its not a fashion parade!

They used to do a bit of clothing for females, I know my mum bought a couple of t-shirts that were for ladies.

I know right, you'd think all women were being force to wear it as compulsory dress code from the response. If you don't like it, then don't wear it. Just because some women don't like it doesn't mean they all feel the same way.

My wife has worn them in the past. It doesn't matter if it is a normal top or womens. Some blokes still talk to her chest and not her face

She sounds a bit keen considering it's her first game. Were the alarms bells not ringing when she turned up for your first date in a wedding dress?

Hahaha ! Not been together long, she knows nothing about football so I've adopted her as a Cov fan. Plus she's proper fit and there's something about girls in football shirts.......

Lol, interesting how these experts can determine that the demand isn't there when there was a good 12 month period where you actually couldn't get a city shirt for toffee.
