Whatever the design, the price for new shirts is ridiculously expensive. Prefer to wait a season then get it for half the price if I still want one.

Can't beat Forest Green Rovers shirts from 22/23 season. Neon Green home and Neon Pink away.

Can't get them for love nor money now. They must have sold out in seconds. Or they couldn't afford to make too many.

Those were popular with kit collectors. FGR shirts are always hard to find online, must be the tiny supporter numbers. I see them all the time on kids where I live as FGR have a nice scheme to give year 4-5s a free shirt in the area. Much harder to find adult sizes.

There online store has some bargain end of season deals. They clear dead stock in mystery boxes. Quite a cool idea by their marketing team. I got a 1 few years back good mix of kits and training stuff . The umbro pink kit was going for £5 in their sale but looks like only kids sizes left

So then, if the design on the home shirt is the cofa tree, and the keeper kit is flames from the badge, what is the away shirt pattern then? Won’t be random.
Trying to be river like, like the Sherborne?
elephant skin pattern?

Also makes me wonder, the pattern on the home kit isn’t on the sleeves, yet the gk shirt it is, like that white one. So it’s more consistent with it being a gk shirt, but if it’s defo white for away from the ITKs then fair do’s.

I was always told it was Cofa but wondered where it had come from given that the first recorded history was the nunnery. But then it would have been Conventtree, though I guess over time it could have altered.

This probably deserves its own thread but the TL;DR is that nobody knows.

There was a time in English history well over 1000 years after the founding of the city where it was very fashionable to be anglo-saxons - not barbaric predessors like the Welsh/Scotish - and so everyone was desperate to ascribe an Anglo-saxon origin to their place name/history irrespective of earlier human occupation. Some genius realised that -try sounds a bit like old english tree so - anglo-saxon. What could the coven bit be? Probably some guy called Cofa?

There are written records of this Cofa in the extensive writings of the anglo-saxons or in the following millennia? No. It was a common Anglo-Saxon name? No. The name Cofa was probably invented working backwards from the name of the city with no supporting evidence. Does that make it wrong? Idk.

Alternative explanations/guesses here: Historic Coventry, England - Some History In case you were wondering the word 'country' is of latin origin and 'try' relates to land (terra).

Hilariously the 'Coventry is named after Cofa' is used as evidence that Daventry is name after Dafa. Another completely made up name. End of the day believe what you want to believe - nobody is actually going to prove you wrong.

It's part of the Coventry mythos, a bit like saying Godiva rode naked on a horse, so I don't want to poop all over their thought processes. Also occurred to me I should probably give a shout out to local historian David McGrory's books. Well worth a read if you are into that sort of thing.

Just to be awkward, the river Sherbourne used to be known as The river Cune. Tree meant town, so cunetree. Town on the river Cune.

Although it has never really been defined how Coventry got its name. The Priory charter gives the name as 'Couaentree' which is supposed to mean 'Town on The Cune.' Cune being the original name of the Sherbourne. 20 years later the spelling is recorded as 'Cofantreo' which historians translate as Cofa's tree. This is the preferred source of the name, though as medieval chroniclers were notorious for their enlightened approach to spelling it is also recorded as 'Couentre,' 'Coventrev,' and 'Coventria.' Cofa's Tree is preferred as Coventry was once in The Forest of Arden and it is assumed there was some form of tree worship.

For the benefit of the uninitiated, who is this clown? His tweets come across like those of some desperate hanger on who gets all of his self-worth from twitter likes but I assume he is/was somehow connected to the club?

He manages Tom Grennan, and the reason Grennan started following us. He's been friendly with the likes of O'Hare & Hamer in the past. Not sure he has much inside info these days.

Kits looking good, but would still prefer full sky blue or navy shorts.

Always made Cov a bit more unique than the same colour scheme as Man City, Lazio, etc

Wouldn't it be hard to identify a particular tree of a person, marking a boundary or whatever, in a forest full of trees?

Like the idea of the river.
