The kit isn't fully on sale, we know that much. Have there been full scale brawls in the megastors with the SYP Swat team called in? Or is that Neil using his creative licence? Penistone Road is on lockdown, the helicopter is up and a young mum, her 2 toddlers and their nan have just been tasered as they were taunting the crowds with their new shirts and creating havoc.

The kit is partially on sale, some communications have been bad, there are a lot of threads about it and the usual folk are posting with their dobblers in hand. All is normal.

All is normal. I figured as much. Complete wee wee tail up from the club, but the reports of MMA style fights breaking out in the megastore might be slightly exaggerated.

Not going to bother; if it costs more for the delux version. Not going to be ripped off; or settle for a cheaper imitation. So won't do either. Kits are a great equaliser; worn by kids from all classes. Not going to go for this delux or cheap version trick/poo . It starting to feel like SWFIUA. Was my thoughts too. Wasn't willing to go more than 65 & that was for a propper shirt. Not some sort of copy. Its Elev8 FFS. They are taking the wee wee.

It's not an inferior shirt to any other previous replica kits you've bought. It just so happens that this year, there's an option to purchase something of better quality than you would have had access to previously if you have the inclination and money to do so. Why do people think that the £59 is a lesser product than previous years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owls maniac Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 You do have to wonder if DC has ever had a proper job. How bloody hard can it be to organise a simple kit launch? They’ve had a flipping year and a dreadful experience last season to get it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last_Great_Hope Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 1 hour ago, i used to be sc_owl said: I disagree. For the replica shirt; there should be one design. Why do something that is going to divide the fanbase for the sake a few hundred quid? I can't believe that in Sheffield there will be much demand for a £99 shirt. Come on now, lets not over-react...

Toilets? The Pro Shirt is aimed at the kit lovers and those who take the whole thing that extra bit more seriously. It is a marketing ploy for those who want the "real thing" and only means anything to those that "know". Stop peddling divisive b0llocks to create negativity and traffic.

keepitsteel89 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 The players didn't have there names on the back of their shirts in a planned photo shoot? Its tiny details like that that still worry me about the micro management of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just think of the countless hours spent in "Elevates Garden Shed" unpicking last season's kit to sew the striped front on for this season to meet the deadline for Owls in the Park... Gotta feel sorrry for the bloke ? Maybe DC is there unpicking with him hence the no show? + = Edited July 1, 2018 by OWLERTON GHOST 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that doesn't matter because the poster I quoted said he was willing to go up to £65! Price and value for money is a different discussion entirely. My argument is that the £59 product isn't "inferior" in any way to previously available shirts... not that the £59 product is good value for money.

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 There isn’t really an issue with the £99 kit. The only issue is not having the £55 kit available and the terrible communication around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
