davey_wells Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Here's an idea - why don't the club announce NOW that this home kit is here to stay for the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons. It's stripes, its a safe sponsor, manufacturer is fine - this would be a massive incentive for loads of people to commit to buy it and also give the club a bit of a breather in the knowledge that they aren't just going to have to rush things again next year. It would make so much sense. Ideally make it £45-£50 (part refunds for purchases already made) or the equivalent discount for juniors and let's just concentrate on the other priorities in retail. Let's face it - next season's is just going to be virtually identical anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am wrong, then you have every right to be annoyed, if I'm right, well a shirt is better than no shirt. Is that like Brexit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and later on wheen my Dad could afford it, a Blue and White Rosette. Never made me feel neglected, underprivledged or less of a Wenesdayite. One thing which I treasure and wear to every game is a metal pin badge of the 4 leafed clover shaped Sheffield Wednesday Supporters Club Badge, bought for me, and proudly worn in 1949. Aye, you were one of the Lucky ones, alright. I had no Scarf, no Rosette and no Badge. And we lived in a Ditch ! But I'll tell thi what ! They were Grand Days, When I were a Lad !!!!!!

BRUCE LEE Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 From the commercial side of things you'd just make sure that they're in stock in every size from the first pay day after the world cups finished Within a few days all eyes go from the national team back to your club I'd guess by the 25th, the club shop will be full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Sainsbury's continue to offer McVities Chocolate Digestives at just a pound a pack, I would outgrow the shirt by next year too. Yum....
