hey guys, does anyone know when the home n away kit get released so we can buy em. cheers

There are about 300 threads about this already!!!

Not coming out for another few weeks yet apparantly

They will probably come out halfway through the season.

In all seriousness though, have you seen it? It looks terrible!

it is shite, but i will probably end up buying them again, like a fucking mug  :-))(

What sort of shite mug have you purchased?

a brown one shaped like a turd  :wink:

Away kit's coming out on 14th july and the home one on the 29th july :D

How do you know that?

Got a message from Lyn Topp earlier today :D

just in time for my hols  8)

Why is the home one, which was shown on the official site about 2 weeks ago on sale 2 weeks after the away one which we haven't been shown yet?

I guess people will rush to buy the away one and when then a few weeks later realise they need a red one for home games  :shrug:  :soapy tit wank:

The away one is 10 times better than the home one...................FACT

You seen it like?

Only slightly shit then?  :wink:

Please tell me there is no leaf  :D

the leaf is in white on the home one, maybe it's in white on the away one too.

its in red  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Ive seen both and the away is much better

But then again thats just personal choice

I loved the old away kit that we wore at Palace, so maybe Im am not the best critic

so is the home kit red shirt and white shorts, with the away being white shirt with red shorts?

or is it red shirt red shorts, white shirt white shorts?

oh, and what about the socks?

i must say i quite like the idea of a mix-and-match home and away kits

Home is all red, away is all white I think!

Great, white with a red leaf...we'll look like the bloody Canadian flag  :?

I'll reserve judgement til I've seen them with my own eyes though

Correctamundo

The away one always comes out first IIRC, definately over the last few years anyway

Away one seems to be released first for most clubs.

When do we get to see more pictures of them (Or any of the away kit in this case!)?? We've only seen a few and even then the shirt was far, far too big for the bloke wearing it.

putting my sales strategy head on for a moment here... i would imagine that, typically, a club's home shirt would sell more units than an away shirt, as the home shirt is in the traditional colours and will be worn most often, etc etc etc. putting the away kit on sale first makes sense as fans will tend to buy whatever comes out first, and are likely to buy the home shirt anyway.

has any1 got any links for the away kit to be seen?

I for one will not be buying the home kit as I think it is shoite

I will be purchasing this instead

http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n70/FredElliot_2006/les951_____B.jpg

that's nearly just as bad

Didn't someone say you could buy those Lotto tops at Matalan for £5?
I'll get the Mrs to embroider the Swindon Town FC bit on later:)

Chepskate, moi? Oh yes!

Anyone purchasing the away kit tomorrow? will they be up on the online shop i wonder seeing as it very rarely gets updated??

Fred that's fucking shit mate!!!

I dont think its on sale tomorrow. I went to the club shop on wednesday, and their was a sign in the window saying something along the lines of " due to unforseen difficulties, the away kit will not be on sale this weekend."

Im pretty sure thats what it said, but dont quote me on it!

you are right Dave - I saw the sign up there as well .. NOT on sale this weekend ...

Was in the shop today and was told the away shirt goes on sale next saturday, the home one will be ready for the open day on the 29th.

Okay.

I've been told and so have others been constantly told the away kit will be released on the 14th, this club can't get anything right can they!!

I was told by Lyn Topp not long ago that it was definitley the 14th, the club is useless, their loss anyway as people won't be spending money.

Agreed, how easy is it to organise  :roll:

Maybe Lotto only sent them a load of XL shirts?  :mrgreen:

But don't they have to pay up front now for the shirts as no one will give them credit....probably why they can't pay the CVA they have to pay for the shirts  :shock:  :soapy tit wank:

Well i've had an email from the club now saying that they don't know when the shirts are coming out, total disgrace, i was told more than once it was the 14th for definitley now they are not sure when, doesn't set a good example but i suppose you have to expect that with this club, we will be lucky if the kits are out before the start of the season at this rate.

yeah, it's the end of the world :?

I couldn't give two shits about when the new shirt is going to be released.

But then again I'd din't give two shits whether Alan Johnston got released either, or Nelson Manderla for that matter.

Releases just don't really interest me.

Calm down. It's a t-shirt FFS  :D

Okay the club/board are inept but waiting an extra couple of weeks to buy a shirt won't hurt anybody

I'm not that bothered, was just letting people know the situation!

I was just saying it is typical of the club isn't it to mess you around, they couldn't organise a piss up never mind anything else!

I reckon you should challenge them to that. It'd be an interesting experiment. Ask them if they can organise a piss up, and then suggest that they open up the Winners for discount drinks on a Thursday night.

I'm confused. How can they realise the away kit first but theres been no picture of it?! Surely they would show the kit on the official site first to drum up some interest??

I agree sippo, we've seen no pictures of the away kit and i've contacted the club again regarding the release dates and they don't even know soapy tit wank, i challenge them to get their heads out of their arses and release the kits before the start of the season hehe  :P

I prefer the piss up idea.

Do you fancy posting in General Discussion OBP? This isn't just a football forum you know.

According to the club shop yesterday the home kit is still scheduled for release at the open day, the away kit they were hoping would be a couple of days before (non specific).

Could just be a manufacturing delay I guess. Not going to buy one myself just yet, but I hope they have worked out how to put the full club badge with motto on it...

There is no Away Kit

Are we playin in skins then?!  :o

I hope so.

They're coming out on the open day on the 29th along with the home kit.

gaylord

Nothing wrong with admiring a bit of man-flesh.

Lotto are a disgrace! the club still have no clue when the kit's are coming out, they have not been given any dates for delivery of the kits!

You would think lotto would want to get things moving asap, bigtime joke of a manufacturer, even the players haven't got their kits yet hence them playing in last season's kit!

blah blah blah

Anything's preferable to Lons-Council House With Ten Kids and Proud-Dale...  

Can't we get Replay or Henleys to design the kit next season?  Maybe give it a few pink flashes, spot of diamonte, liven it up a bit?  :|

If I remember righty. On July 24th 1999, it was the release date of the old lotto kit.  The game was against Wimbledon and I think he got stuffed 3 or 4 nil. I remember the date for other reasons  :wink:
Why are everyone in a grump about the release date? Your get it before the season starts.

Away kit Saturday you whining bastards and home the following saturday! fucks sake! :)

If it saturday I will be chuffed. If its any good I can take it to ireland with me.  :D

Your wrong i'm afraid, got in contact with Lyn Topp today, the club have no dates for the release of the kits, they are hoping to have both on sale for the open day next sunday 29th but there is no guarantee!!

Oh am I though??

What's your problem bushy boy, i'm getting rather pissed off with your digs, what the fuck is wrong with letting people know the situation and giving them an update, some people want to know when the kits are coming out!!

Who gives a shit?

Maybe you don't but if i fucking wanna post it i will!! some people do give a shit, maybe some of us wanna wear it for the northampton game like me for instance!!

Calm down!

I'm sure it will be on sale before the beginning of the season!

Sheesh! Some people are sooooooooooo touchy :-))(

How the fuck do you know!? Fucking know it all! Fuck sakes! You best not be lying to me!!??

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

sorry I couldnt resist  :D

Now now benny boy, try not to wind up the locals! :D

Unusual to see the badge being on the right hand side of the chest and the Lotto emblem on the left hand side on the "casual shirt" as modelled by Sofienne.

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Gallery/0,,10341~1076416,00.html

that shirt is nice

got my shirt today.

Did you?

Is it skinny fit?

The leisure wear is 10 times better than the kit

For a interview next week, I'm not keen on white.  All I need is a tie  :?

:soapy tit wank:

Don't encourage him :D

I'm guessing it's a reverse image possibly??

update: for those who care...

Still no kit and the women in the shop says she's worried. If they're aren't in by next week, could be sept/oct  

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Can't be as "Lotto" is "Lotto" and not in reverse as you would expect it to be.

Ah shit, then yes it is quite strange to see it on the other side :)

That's a bigtime joke regarding the kits isn't it? you would have thought lotto would have pulled their fingers out of their arses and got the kits delivered to the club by now! they will be the ones that suffer and get hit in the pocket!

On the official site regarding the open day it does say on there the home kit will be officially launched, they shouldn't advertise something that they can't guarantee will be ready for next sunday!

I think the :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: is a clue that redge is yanking your chain...............

The kits are apparently ready. It's the Kingwood logos that are causing the hold up, so i've been told.

no that's because the women gave my friend those dates. I just find it hilarious, but I think she may have been yanking his chain

Are they having trouble finding enough of the right leaves to super glue on each shirt?

No - they're waiting for Maureen, the old lady who irons sponsor logos onto football shirts to get back from her holidays!

:soapy tit wank: white leaves are a toughy, especially with this weather and all.

Supply them with a stencil and some tippex and we can do it ourselves.

They've got Nozza knocking out batches of 16 a day

They have not got enough labour to put them on cos they have all been laid off as far as I have heard

So do you think they will be out next weekend fred as it says on the official site?

I've tried to find out several times and all i get is we don't know when they are coming out!!

I've never rated Lotto TBH but they are making a right shambles with this kit, most other team's kit's came out a while back!

I'm not that bothered about it, i always purchase both kits every season and i'm hoping to wear one of the new kits to the northampton match, surely they will be out by then, although nothing would surprise me, you would have thought that the club would be pushing lotto to hurry up and get them out but with the way our club is run i'm not so sure soapy tit wank!

Well played.

I think one will be mate

The home kit is due to be launched on sunday at the open day, guess what soapy tit wank, the kits are not coming out until next weekend now, they keep saying next week, next week soapy tit wank, something weird is going on as sheffield wednesday's kit this season is made by lotto and they are launching their kit on monday, if they have got their kit's what about our's?

Where did you hear its delayed?  The OS crashes my PC so apologies if its on there.

Been told by a friend of mine who got an email from ben lambert today! Also he is supposed to be putting an update on the OS today.

Every week they say next week and they don't come out soapy tit wank, as i said sheffield wednesday's kit's have been delivered and are going on sale monday, i've got a feeling that our kit won't be out before the start of the season, it seems fishy to me if lotto have supplied other team's kit's then why not our's as well? it's a right shambles!!

Who wants a stupid leaf on the shirt anyway?

maybe its because we havent PAID for the kit yet?

We will be running out v Northampton in last seasons kit at this rate

Yeah probably, wouldn't surprised me at all, this football club is a joke!!

Hehe, we probably will be, it's a possibility at this rate!

I just phoned the club shop and was told the following (Take it anyway you want)

The Club placed the order for the shirts in February and actually paid extra, so the kit would be shipped in by air freight.

They have now been given 3 different delivery dates and are expecting the kit at the beginning of next week.

Obviously that won't appease the biased amongst us :D

You're right, it won't  :wink:

Thats funny as about a month or so ago i was told by someone in the club shop the logo had only recently been approved and finalised so they only just ordered the merchandise.....................

Ah well whatever their story is lets hope the kits arrive soon.

On a slightly different topic, when was the vote for the new kit?

I was quite surprised when I was told we ordered it in February.

Surely that was before the vote?

Well obviously lotto are incompetent soapy tit wank  :mrgreen:

I know they have been expecting the kits for the past two weeks or so!

Mind you beginning of next week probably means the week after hehe  :D

According to this thread

http://www.thetownend.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17929

Voting ending on 26 January.

However, there was still the issue of the new club badge and new sponsor, so make of that what you will.

Edit: I suspect the club ordered a quantity of kits, advising Lotto that the badge and sponsor logos would follow idc.

Let's wait and see if they are out early next week, place your bet's soapy tit wank, i for one don't think they will be out!  :mrgreen:

Still think the club badge looks uber shit without the club motto underneath it. I guess they didn't egt the embroidary samples until it was too late...

I agree, I'm pretty sure that a couple of the other choices didn;t have the wording below, which is why this one won.  To produce a kit with out it is a bit crap really.

Maybe the reason for the delay is that the new kit will have the club badge (With motto) on the left, the lotto badge on the right and the sponsor logo in the middle?

(I don't really believe this, but hey, you never know!)

Maybe they can't copyright the logo with the motto so they did it without?

Everything not embroidered has it on though, so unlikely.

More likely is that they can't make it look right when embroidered(or is at least taking time to do so, hence the delay).

are people actually going to buy it then?  The delivery date is of no consequence to me, as I shan't be wasting money on it.

Good for you.

If I decide I want it, I'll buy it.

I just thought most of the people discussing how horrible a delay was were actually people who suggested it wasn't worth buying?  Kits are late every year it seems, it;s not exactly a Board bashing issues is it, I mean, if anything we claimed they had it all done and dusted too early, as in the voting meant nothing.  It's the ruddy kit manufacturers most of the time.

I think only the most deluded on here are linking the delay in the kit to anything dodgy by the club.

It's a shame that we can't have a football related thread on the forum anymore that isn't immediately hijacked by people spouting their conspiracy theories and anti board rants.

i might buy the shorts so that when i go to the beach this summer to bronze my rippling upper-torso i can do so whilst wearing my club's shorts. hopefully the white ones aren't the type that are almost see through as i dont like wearing white underpants and any other colour will show through  :oops:

I think the pic that was made public was just a mock shirt. I hope so...

Did you see that bollocks on the official site today when they said "The official kit suppliers LOTTO have experienced transit issues in shipping the replica kits over from the far east, which has caused delays with the new kit being officially released for delivery to the UK".

What a load of crap, Sheffield Wednesday have lotto as their kit makers and their away kit came out on 13th June and they have already recieved their home kit which is going on sale on monday! so there must be a different reason.

It would be weird seeing the players wearing last season's kit at northampton as they only have 2 weeks to get the kits out now!

Does anyone know if that new white training top with the black & red on it with the badge on the right hand side is on sale yet?

This is all too much for me to bear. i think i might just go kill myself now.


Playing in last seasons shirts, oh the shame  :cry:

That would be well crazy, but also ace. I prefer last season's kit. The longer these new one are delayed the better. Well done to the board / Lotto / Aliens / Terrorism, whoever is responsible  gets the official fB Thumbs Up!

Just read on another forum that Chesterfield (Who are also having Lotto kits) have got exactly the same problem..

It's true, Chesterfield announced an unspecified delay on 18th July, hoping to take delivery by the end of the month (like we did for the open day)...

I wanted one to take to Australia, but not sure if I do now they look so shit.

we should play skins for all friendles until the new kit is received.

Sturrock said today that the kit's are arriving on tuesday.

Thank god for that...............

But he didn't say which Tuesday....

It's a weight off my mind. Phew!

And mine Sussex.

At last I can get a good nights sleep........................

and hopefully they have the badge correct as every shirt i've seen so far hasn't got the wording at the bottom.

one question, whens the kit going to be released?  :wink:

doesnt look like it has the wording at the bottom of the badge (which is kinda of pointless really) also has kingswood finance on the shoulders at the back, and www.swindontownfc.co.uk at the bottom on the back

The wording won't be at the bottom... They couldn't do it properly because it was too small apparently.

Bollocks is it.

Most probably the little Filipino's can't stitch in Latin.

it is a fucking joke this lack of kit, how fucking stupid we gonna look come the start of the season if it hasnt arrived?

That little stitching was never a problem back in the 80s, or with toffs, reeks of BS to me.  Hey ho, nasty badge anyway.

I quite like the shirts.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/gary_stanley_uk/homekit.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v482/gary_stanley_uk/awaykit.jpg

I prefer the White one actually

The lesuire wear that the lads had on yesterday is miles better.

I will be plumping for that rather than the shirt....................which I think is gash

The polo shirts are quite nice.

She looks as if she is about to play ice hockey for Canada.

Whats wrong with it? I think it's nice, and 1000x better than the excuse for a badge we had before!

Freds bang on the training kit is a lot nicer than the actual kit.

so how come they can organise all the polo shirts to come now, and fuck up the kit? it doesnt make sense? surely there still made by the same 3yr old crack addicted filipinos?

I'm still going to moan about the fact they never do any decent womens stuff.  Half those tops are like wearing a tent.

I agree though that the training kit is far nicer....

you gonna model it then  :wink:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

It's just that they've tried to go with the traditional look and cocked it up - the town crest style badge is nice but the old one on the 89-91 kit is much better - and IMHO it's pretty shabby that they've given us a badge that they can't put on the shirts properly either.  It's not exactly a deal breaker - but given how the club is being run by the brains behind a 'sucessful sports marketing company' it's just average to have such a mediocre badge and merchandise.

Am I fuck  :|

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I extremely dislike the sponsors on the back of the shirts

Whats the odds that we'll be wearing last season's kit against Northampton?  :mrgreen:

I expect the players kit will be ready even if the kit for fans to buy isn't.

Will they all be wearing the XXXXL size of the shirt?

shocking.
the shirts are awful. i'll not be wasting my money on it.

They might be a bit better in the correct size...?

I quite like the away one... :oops:

If it means the club get more money, im not particularly bothered

i quite like the away one as well but think i'll prob get the home one as its red and therefore more our colours

If its anything like the ukraine shit that I picked up in kiev, then the sizes are really fucked up, and an xxxxl is probably a large!

And before you say it spud, its not coz im a fat cunt that the sizes are fucked up!

offf to find said shirt to look at the sizes

Anyone know whether the kits arrived today and when they are going on sale?

haha, not a clue mate. I've given up wondering about it now.

i went down there at lunch time to get some tickets and people were queuing into the car park getting new shirts with numbers and names on, it was mental.

i think they may well have sold out!

Got an email yesterday saying they are arriving today and will be on sale shortly.

If anyone see's any signs on anything at the club shop regarding the kit's when going to the game please let me know, thanks.

There is probably a perfectly legitimat reason for it, but this is chesterfields new away kit, made by lotto.

http://www.chesterfield-fc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/ClubAnnouncements/0,,10435~1080920,00.html


Why weren't we offered this option. Much better than the crap we've got/.

We, as a fanbase, voted for our crap kit (I voted for the other one)

Plus I'm not a fan of that kit either :D

Didn't think the new kit looked too bad, other than the bastardisation of the club badge.

looked alright 2nite

I thought they looked good in the club shop. Then when the players came out, I thought it looked even better.

I liked it but we looked like Power Rangers.

that chesterfield kit is horrific

Hey we can never look that good :)

Reg pointed out though that Brez/Smith were wearing last seasons keepers kit....................very professional....

So are the kits actually on sale yet?

no  A load of different polo shirts with the new badge are though.

Yeah, the white/red/black polo shirt is decent, although £26.99 is a bit expensive for a polo shirt.

I wonder when the kits are actually going to be on sale?

I thought the kit didn't look too bad on the players.

Nice to see they got some smaller sizes finally.

Agreed - randomly all the lesiure wear seems to haev badge and manufacturers logo reversed - probably a retrofit of the STFC badge onto generic Lotto tops.  The new kit is nice though, would be better with red shorts and a proper badge-  but certainly better when it actually fits the players.

I thought it did have red shorts?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bristol/content/images/2007/08/01/city09_350x470.jpg]

 :nod:

I obviously meant without red shorts - white shorts is the call - more traditional.  Damn trying to read teh TEF and work at the same time.

I think you're right there tbh.

Although I do like us in all red.

The shirt's not as bad, when people wear the correct size and are not forced into publicity shots in XXXL sizes.

The away kit will be better I think.

I take it we'll wear it at Exeter???

I thought the kit looked really good actually - we looked very smart indeed with the red shorts that matched the shirt.

White one in the shop looks a bit CANADA tho!

still think the leaf is too big.

what is the wording on the back of the shirts?
is it a second sponsor?

I think the top is Kingswood Construction and the bottom is the URL of the OS.

Think back of the shirt is Kingswood Finance and as Matty says the OS address at the bottom of the shirt

Made In Taiwan.

Spoke to someone last night in the club shop.

Hertha: 'So when are they gonna arrive now?'

Club shop: 'Tomorrow'.

Hertha: 'I was told they would be here today on sunday'.

Club shop: 'Well, they're in the country'.

Hertha: 'Result............When do you expect to have them on sale?'

Club shop: 'By Saturday at the latest'.

Hertha: 'Cheers'.

Not the most riveting conversation :D

Won't we have an issue with them wearing red and white stripes

We probably cannot afford to pay the import VAT on them, and they're stuck in customs.

How many times have you and i had the same conversations with the club shop? soapy tit wank, every time they say a different day or next week and they never come out!

I know only 2,000 are arriving and quite a few people will have put a £10 deposit down on them so i don't know how many are left, it doesn't sound like they will be having another delivery anytime soon either!

Well technically, both our home and away shirts clash with Exeter's red and white stripes. As has been pointed out in previous threads, we will have the same problem at Cheltenham and Doncaster this season to name but two :shock:

cant those two teams wear ther away shirt...its not the biggest deal them having to wear an away shirt at home?

I don't think the FA much like it though. The point of a change strip is to be warn when your kit clashes.  Personally if we'd had white shorts on the home kit, I'd have liked the away kit to be white shirts and black shorts with black trim - that would have looked quite nice IMHO and given us enough options to avoid a clash.  Failing that a yellow top, blue shorts and white socks kit, or green and white spongue print.

I would hate that kit, too close to Poxfords

Peppermint green with a potato print style please.

Or Bristol City away shirt style an apparent "gold aka piss" colour and light blue  :chunder:

Nah, proper brazil style from the premiership year

yeeeeeeeeeellows
yeeeeeeeeeellows
yeeeeeeeeeellows

No - the Brazil esque 93-95 kit.

Well if the shorts were light blue and the yellow shirt had green trim!

It will be out Wednesday at the very latest. Tuesday if you put down a deposit :)

Blimey, 14 pages of drivel on this kit...incredible! Well done everyone.

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~1084276,00.html

Latest is **hopefully** Monday for pre-orders, Thursday general sale.

http://homepages.wmich.edu/~w5gatewood/KITT.jpg

I quite like the look of the away one...maybe its because the badge looks better on the white?!

On the OS site it says that a replica keeper kit will also be sale, obviously, but does anyone know what the fuck it's going to look like??

i think it's plain colours, but don't quote me on that
