The whole thing has annoyed me a little bit in all honesty.Went online this morning to order 3 shirts, out of stock apart from the bigger sizes.
I know it’s pre-order and that more will come in but with the rumours of the Hummel remake going around for a while you would expect plenty to be available initially.
Doesn’t pay day fall after your holiday as well? No offence, but seriously, some people just like to moan!!!The whole thing has annoyed me a little bit in all honesty.
I'm not sure it's been handled very well by the club.
I know they don't want to get a shit loads of shirts printed only to be left with 1000s unsold at the end of the season. But, to do the pre order is (I feel) limiting sales.
In my own situation, I was going to buy mine and my lads for our holiday in Ibiza. We fly on the 22nd, the shirt delivery isn't until 25th. If I could.of just walked in to the shop yesterday and bought a shirt, I would of. As it happens, I won't have it in time for my holiday, I've ummed and arred and now, probably won't bother. They have lost £150 from me.
Personally, I think the launch should of coincided with pay weekend and should of been available there and then. With how wet everybody has been getting about going back to Hummel, they would of cleaned up.
Just my opinion though.
I assume he meant payday as in end of june. It is a bit amateurish how this has been done. Pre-order should be precisely that.. Anybody can order but advise there could be a delayed delivery due to demand.Doesn’t pay day fall after your holiday as well? No offence, but seriously, some people just like to moan!!!
In this case I think it is very plausible to blame the club. Known for weeks it would be a popular kit and its pre-order only. Surely this allows them to take ALL orders and then can email to advise delivery dates for each order. They had ample time to know how many orders they could take so why was this not communicated before the release? To 'sell out' on this basis is highly amateur and does them no favours at allI’d imagine there’s other considerations and input from the manufacturer (who don’t forget are making shirts for loads of clubs). Daft to just blame it on the club. If it was out earlier there’d still be people moaning saying they wanted it for holiday and oh if only they’d released it last Christmas they’d have got one for their lad.

Seeing as we played in our kit yesterday I wouldn't think it would be an issue for us.Don't want to piss on people's chips but only last season Hummel failed to deiiver kits a full month into the season to Forest Green Rovers, they didn't even have enough for the playing staff. This prompted FGR to cancel the deal switch to a uk supplier. There was speculation it was because the kits were bespoke rather than template ones that caused the issues.

This isn't like Nike where the kits already existed and it was just a matter of sticking our badge on - and even then we had problems. This is a bespoke kit and the initial run will already be set. Sure they will open up orders again in the week but with a later delivery date.Not sure how you can sell out on pre-order

But they are responsible for selling it and advertising it. Just communicate better and this wouldn't happenI'm not sure it's plausible to blame the club when the whole operation is outsourced.
Bingo, thousands of people stating NOPM and not going then why would they make 10000 kits!In clubs defence they recieve hundreds of social media msgs a day sayong fans are done with club whilst in brum. Maybe they didnt wanna run risk of fans refusing to buy the shirt?
