Nice design but I'm quite large and it made me look like a blancmange!

Not as good as 1p though is it

 

[RegiswasGod]

Out of stock in L mens and 12 womens, already

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

Women's size 8 out as well...

 

[ajsccfc]

Surprised they're just doing the shirts, I thought there would be a little range of training stuff to go with it or similar.

 

[SkyBlueBarmy84]

Kids 2XL and XL Mens out too.

Why is it always such a shambles?!

 

[skybluelee]

No pro shirts, shorts, socks, warm up gear suggests to me this is just for fans rather than a kit that the players will be wearing. Anybody heard anything about this?

 

[ajsccfc]

They could potentially wear it as a full kit with the third shorts and socks, looking on the club site the colours are basically the same.

Coventry City FC's limited-edition 'All-Pink' shirt is available to buy from now, Friday 9th October, in aid of Breast Cancer Awareness.

The shirt is available online and in The Cov Store in all adult and junior sizes. Stock is limited, so fans are encouraged to buy early to avoid missing out.

If you're constantly putting out new limited ranges you need to make sure the stuff is selling out or people will just wait for a clearance sale and pick it up for a tenner.

When everything sells out instantly you create FOMO and you end up, as we have seen, with people queuing up at the shop to buy things they haven't even seen a photo of yet.

Sold out in XL & 2XL

 

[Hybridtheory]

Probably a rather niche size so not financially prudent to stock

 

[mark82]

Anyone up at the shop? What does stock look like there?

 

[stgeorge1966]

Shop and online SOLD OUT !!

Just come back from the shop. Drove over from Rugby to check, as they still don't have a phone. Every one of the pink shirts has gone.

Christ, how many did they have to sell?

Apparently people were bulk buying them in the shop . Maybe limited edition meant REALLY limited. I imagine they'll be popping up on resale sites for over £100

Should be limited to 1 per person.

This shit winds me up, happens with everything now.

Saw recently that a store, think it was Forbidden Planet, have started opening packs of Pokemon cards at the till to try and stop resellers buying them all up.

Joke selling out so quickly and not restocking. How much money does the charity miss out on.

I don't think they've stated anywhere how much of each shirt sale goes to charity. I asked in the shop, and they had no idea.

 

[WhoGotTheAssist]

I guess if it's been this popular they'll get more stock in. No point having loads of stock when there's no guarantee it will sell, especially when (presumably) the majority of the money is going to charity. At least now they have an idea of the demand for it.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

4XL is just ridiculous

Think the last time we did a charity shirt it turned out the charities got about £30K between them.

 

[Alex1987]

picked up a Large (on a medium hanger) by mistake. Unlikely, but has anyone done the opposite and want to swap?

No, but I'll happily buy your large from you!

Only learned just now that a Kids 2XL is a thing. Wouldn’t that just be an adult small?

 

[Tommo1993]

Also I’m finding it a bit fake that people are genuinely bothered about the charity part after failing to buy shirt.

It's not all fake. I was very close to my Nan, and she died from cancer. I wanted a shirt for that reason only; so I could have her name on the back. It just felt like a nice thing to have.

Almost exactly the same. Just £10 cheaper.

Christ, how many did they have to sell?

Just 1700 produced according to Nicola on CWR this morning and 10% going to the breast cancer charity. A small number will be on sale on Monday. Time to be announced she said.
