If there's enough time to make a new kit, surely there's time to make more stock of the current one.

If the rumours I've been hearing are true then I doubt it. Apparently were meant to be losing Allsopp as sponsor and no longer using Nike as a kit supplier.This will probably be next seasons kit and they’ve had to bring it forward for next week, fans who’s got this seasons home kit should be offered a discount, they were bought for the season and this is the biggest game of said season!
Running out of kits is very possible. We, like all but a select few top teams, use the teamwear kits. They change every season. Nike won't be producing 17/18 kits now, and even if they were wouldn't turn around a new batch in a week.Stinks of bullshit this, just a money making scheme by the club, very small time. How is it even possible that we've run out of kits/Nike can't make us another set of this years?
Nike contact was for 4 seasons, this is the 3rd.If the rumours I've been hearing are true then I doubt it. Apparently were meant to be losing Allsopp as sponsor and no longer using Nike as a kit supplier.
Think this one is a basic template, the other one was more complex.
Further Information:
The shirts for this season were ordered in February 2017, as is the case at many clubs ordering in bulk. Due to the incredible popularity of the home shirt this season, and use of club stock through playing requirements and charitable donations, it has been necessary to commission this new traditional striped shirt for the Play-Off final – which we hope will prove popular with supporters.
We were unable to order the current 2017/18 home shirt due to the large minimum order numbers which exist, and the lead times involved.
Stokes gave his away.Who washed the kits over the weekend and forgot to bring a couple back to training during the week?
Nike contract wasn't a nike contract. It was a contract with just sport pro. Which means we could have Nike or Avec.Nike contact was for 4 seasons, this is the 3rd.
I really wish Allsopps would change their logo. Of course I'm pleased they sponsor us, but their awful logo spoils every shirt.
More likely Biamou and Shipley, I reckon they've given them out virtually every game this season that they've played in.Stokes gave his away.
Must be his fault
And the stripes on the sleeves!Yes - one has the fixture written on it and the other one doesn’t
They do look remarkably the same, bar the collar
Would be stupid of the club to not try and maximise revenue from a Wembley final. I'd rather wear a different shirt at Wembley than sell someone in the summer to balance the books.
Oh yeah, forgot about that.I’d much rather wear official merchandise too, rather than what the tatt stall block will be putting together (apologies to anyone who might like the unofficial stuff we will soon be seeing)
back better be full sky blue not white,assume it will be
I thought similar but it didn't cause a need for change at the 1993 'Sheffield' FA cup semi final.It makes sense from a revenue perspective but I prefer the real kit to be honest. Any chance of a kit clash as Exeter play in white stripes too?
I love em but only the ones of the Huckerby /Dublin /Whelan era .Ordered one for my lad against my better judgement. I hate stripes.
If there are - BURN THEM! We are not corporate FC, ala Chelski or Man Shekhi.Should be Flags on sale, what are Wembley restrictions like ?
Will there be freebie lickle ones placed on the seats?
Who's selling trousers for £10? Do they do them in a wide variety of colours?You would perhaps prefer Vagisil, or Tena Pants?
I can get hold of some blue paint pens if you want to colour the white bits in. Might keep your lad entertained on the journey down.I hate stripes.
Nike Division III University blueOptimistically, I guess our home kit is a custom shade of the Nike template...but i can see why people see it as cashing in and I tend to agree. It’s a nice shirt, and if we win would be a nice memento.
My concern is, are the players going to gel in this kit? Surely playing in a new colour after months of playing in a different strip is slightly risky for a game like this? Maybe its not a big deal to in the professional game, I don’t know.
It does look nice though - reminds me of a few years back when we bust out the vintage sky blue kit early before wearing it for the following Thorn disaster season.

wtfIt’s white on the back
Sheikhs are OKIf there are - BURN THEM! We are not corporate FC, ala Chelski or Man Shekhi.
Love the stripes, don't like the unfinished, ran out of time and ink, back.I’m guessing our 18/19 kit will be of similar design to the shirt itself; the Nike model seems to have this design / neck (just need to look at the England one to see that).
Hopefully it won’t be stripes like this though and the boxed back; I’m not a fan of that design (but will still buy it even if it looks awful)
