Said similar to me in shop the other day.
Daughter just chose men's small instead, as they only had size 16 and 18 in shop.

What on earth happened to all the retro stuff?

What was the point in having releasing about 8 shirts in 2 months that all instantly sold out and then nothing?

Just bizarre..

I'm waiting for 97-8 kit or the one before, I suppose it's a sequencing thing at the end of the day, more focused shifting as many of the current kit first?

Probably maximising the new shirts and looking at other retro stuff for later in the year.

Having said that I did think they were releasing far too many in a short space of time. But they did sell very well and most sold out so commercially it was the correct decision.

The retro shirts in the past have been a lot better quality than the current kits as well

First kits I ever owned, been hoping that these would be added to the retro range. Shame they didn't do the tracksuit tops as well (the George Dalton one, not Gould's), used to have that as a kid too.

It’s a ripoff Stanley cup which has been a social media fad for a while

Just seen Admiral are knocking out these inspired by our chocolate kit! brave choice up the CBS



Almost Home x Admiral | Menswear Collection | Admiral Sports

The Almost Home x Admiral sportswear collaboration draws inspiration from the iconic Coventry City kits from 1970s, particularly the brown away kit. This cult kit has been reimagined in the form of a tracksuit and knitted items including polos and shorts.

That yellow shirt was never for sale in the 1980s. Interesting that they chose the Elliot’s rather than Glazepta sponsor.

To be fair to the club it's about economy of scale, they won't be ordering these in huge quantities. Branded stuff costs a premium in small batches so they need to claw back the cost somehow.

Fully understand the club shop is pricey but it's not out of line with other teams and actually having a choice of half decent items is miles ahead of what we offered before

I honestly thought it wasn’t - like the Triple S version of 1986-7 (until FMC did a replica) but happy to wirhdraw if you’re certain.

have they ever released the chocolate kit? would imagine it would be a winner for novelty value alone.

Nothing beats the talbot kits in my mind though

I went to the shop the other day in West Orchards never been in West Orchards in my life can you believe! It’s only a small shop but plenty of good gear in there and the young girl who serves me was so helpful. Asked about the black and gold track suit top full zip but they are out of stock for now. Asked if I wanted to leave my name so she would let me know when they are available. Bought a 1/4 zip top and more than happy.
The club are obviously working hard and I will be back. I don’t go anymore as I no longer live in Coventry but I’ll do my best to chip in when I can. I do contract for the club and it’s as I see it a little bit of reciprocal business
