The New Kit

[chrismpw]

Well, you're the disgruntled one.

I bow to your superior levels of disgruntlement.

I sometimes like to post in a thread Dave's been in just so that people think of me as cheerful.

Everything's relative.

You really think these figures would change if we stuck 3 stripes on our kit?

They wouldnt.

People wouldnt buy an Everton kit cos it was Adidas.

Just like people dont buy United kits cos they are Adidas.

People get so caught up in this Umbro thing, its Umbro cos nobody else wanted to pay us more money than them.

I blame @chicoazul for talking hard about the Park Enders who like to wear hero shirts to the match, there's got to be a few hundred shirts in sales lost just due to his tripe

 

[SerenityNigh]

Sunderland a bit disproportionate there as they buy their shirts for weddings, family photos and job interviews, the utter scruffs

it's nice to get dressed up for such stuff ok?

 

[StateSideToffee]

The only reason I do not buy the kit is due to the sponsor. Bought 3-5 kits a year for the family before Sportpesa, but this sponsor just makes our kits look incredibly low quality (like a league 2 kit); regardless of manufacturer or design, I will not be purchasing another kit until we move on from Sportpesa. Am I the only feeling this way?

Do not even get me going on the sleeve sponsor.

 

[RomanReigns]

Are you against gambling sponsors or just don’t like the sportpesa logo?

Record breaking kit sales

Record breaking kit sales

Looking forward to the Business Matters analysis on these numbers

 

[germanblue]

More than the 2014 kit. Unbelievable

away kit when?

Short term kit control has been very favorable in recent weeks

away kit when?

End of July. Club confirmed when home was announced. 3rd “later in the Summer”

 

[OneTrueLegend]

away kit when?

We play Palace away first game, I'm not sure our home is different enough from their home kit, last season, we wore the white away there, they wore their yellow away at Goodison. Based on that I would say we should see an away kit on or before 10th August, probably first week of August, as home kit was first week of July, then third kit will probably be first week of september

We might sell a few more if it was Adidas or Nike, biggest problem I think is still the fanatics deal, there is a lack of availibility globally and releasing the kits late and not having kids kits in stock in the first 4 months of the season, don't help. Think we would sell more if we fixed these problems

I would think there is a chance we would wear our away kit for the preseason game against Wigan as we would surely clash with them. We do not play any other preseason games against blue teams by the look. Then I would think the third shirt comes out in August some time.

Wigan might have an away kit they wanna push tho.
