Knowing our luck, the club and chitbag's response to all this will be the easy option of ensuring we use generic kits that are easily sourced, rather than put any effort in themselves.
 
It happens every year to be honest, there's always a shortage of stock for any children's item because Father Christmas starts to get involved and buys everything up. That said, Elstone's relationship with the North Pole is clearly particularly poor at the moment. Hopefully he can liaise with their representatives in the coming days and work together to find a satisfactory resolution for all parties.

Er.

Maybe I'm naive, or simply biased by my experience, but have never seen any US sports team out of stock (1) at the start of the new season or (2) before Christmas. Everton seem to have done both this year.
 
Loads of them in Ireland...

Are the commercial people in the club really that poor at their job that they wouldn't have stock for the busiest time of year??

They ordered Kits based on last years sales figures. How could they know sales would go up 65%? Would people rather they wasted money stockpiling thousands upon thousand of kits hoping they sold out when usually we are left with a massive surplus of kits that never get sold and we loose money on them

I am going to guess you are not in sales / marketing for a living Robert? As so many have stated on here, loads of people did not buy shirts last season simply due to the badge. You would expect higher than normal sales in that many have not purchased a shirt for 2 years, then take into account the success of last season, first time in Europe in 5 years, optimism around the club etc, why would you base this year's inventory simply on last year's sales? EVERYONE knew how unpopular the badge was, and anyone with any marketing sense would have foreseen a bump in sales....If nothing else, the record number of season ticket sales should have been a slap up side the head that we just may need a few more kits.... Either the bean counters at the club were allowed to make this decision, or if this was from marketing, those responsible should be sacked, plain and simple

As Blockhead has said last seasons kits sold in record numbers so it's nothing to do with the badge. Demand is up on what was a record shirt sale season so what most of you are saying makes no sense

Another 'brilliant' piece of business from Kitbag. Going to be a lot of disappointed Blues this Christmas.

A full list of limited stock items can be seen below:

Home shirts – men’s: 2XL & 3XL, women’s: 8 & 10, boys: medium

Home shorts – boys: all sizes
Home socks – boys: all sizes

Away shirts – infants: 6-7yrs, babies: 3-6mnths
Away shorts – men’s: S, boys: S, M & XL
Away socks – boys: all sizes

3rd kit shirts – men’s: 3XL, boys: XL
3rd kit shorts – men’s: S, L & XL, boys: all sizes

February?

That's atrocious commercial management by the club.

January is a major shopping period too.

Been searching for the xl boys goalkeeper top for weeks now. Was resigned to them being out of stock till next year. But they have just become available on the store tonight. Thought id mention in case others are looking for one.
