2025/26 Kits

[Power to people]

Rumour doing the rounds I've read is that most of the new kit will be sold online by Pro Direct so they can recoup the money owed to them

Not sure if there is any truth in it

Yep, red/white/red is our traditional kit. Don't hate the red shorts, but much prefer the white...

Same as Shaun takes me back to the mid/late 70’s when I first started watching Town but vaguely remember us wearing black shorts at some stage.

We wore black shorts for 2 seasons between 72 and 74.

We wore black shorts for 2 seasons between 72 and 74.

A grim period in the history of the club, unsuccessful managers were McKay and Allen.  Disintegration of the League Cup winning team occurred, with inevitable relegation ensuing.  So, black shorts are not a good idea.

Think I'm going to design my own shirt this year. It'll feature red, white, a smidge of green and a dash of orange. It will also feature my own abortion of the deprecating club logo as seen on the TEF and two fake sponsors. Will probably look sick af or it'll look like someone threw up on it or even worse, it might look like some form of Wales kit. Still, money more well spent than putting it into the hands of Anthony {I don't know} Fuck Hall

In fact, for a bit of fun {because if we can't laugh then we're all fucking crying} I might even make two and give one away on here, along with some beers again, linked to some form of sweepstake. Probs be like 5 quid a pop, with the winner also getting half the cash and the other half going to a relevant charity. As well as the beer and the beautiful shirt

Only condition/requirement of the winner is, they have to wear the shirt at the first home league game of the new season or pictured at home watching the match in their shirt and preferably opening a tin of beer too 

If anyone fancies in, then I'll gladly start a fred for it. Ideally twenty of you participating would be great or ten of you, meaning double chance. I'll then decide what the sweep will be on and also may throw in a cheeky bonus as well

This would align with the separate table (and separate pay point) in the club shop for shirt sales at the end of the season. ProDirect won’t trust the club to pay on time or at all, perhaps.

It's a self fulfilling prophecy. There's nothing to buy, therefore the club makes no money, therefore they're right.

Clem resents paying for kit clearly - we saw a lot of reducing Puma debt and putting bloody kangaroos on kit in the early days with the AB slideshows... but we're expected to believe that 10 year kit deals ending a year early and the new supplier selling kit on folding tables like the Dudley Boyz on a market stall is normal business.

There was an interview a few weeks back with Joe Gorman of Exeter (average attendances in L1 very similar to ours) where he said they make £600k on merchandise a year... but 80% of that is in brick and mortar sales in person, impulse buys... and only 20% online. Pro-Direct taking over the selling of kit online when they have a bigger distribution makes sense, but they could have actual proper opening hours or rent a space in the town centre as well (Newport County do this and their shopping centre is walking distance from RP) and still make a massive profit! You should be trying to get an extra £10 out of every person through your gates, every game - getting a glossy photo of your favorite player or a DanDesigns ain't doing it either. Where's the pens, pencils, my beloved pencil case, enamel badges and keyrings, Ivo style collector cards... the man don't give  a f-

When is the home kit actually available?

Also presumably the away kit has to be launched soon. Needed opening day of the season.

Meanwhile in Oldham (apologies if posted elsewhere as this is hardly breaking news)...

The club can provide an update regarding the launch of our kits for the 2025/26 season.

Unfortunately, a number of delays have been encountered in the production and shipping of the new kits, meaning an official launch has not yet taken place.

The design of the new home kit was displayed during the recent 130-year celebration dinner. The club had wanted to give those in attendance a first look at the new design, as originally promised.

Following the feedback received, we can confirm that changes will be made to the appearance of the front-of-shirt sponsor. We have listened to the input from supporters and adjustments will be made to better complement the design of the kit, which will also feature a woven club crest.

The club is grateful for the feedback on this matter and always values the views of supporters.

The design itself is based on historic Latics shirts, ranging from the early 1900s to the 1950s, providing a modern take on a design which recognises the earlier parts of the club’s history.

The official launch of the 2025/26 kits will take place ahead of the new season, with reveal dates and sale details to be confirmed soon.

The new away shirt will be as rare as rocking horse shit on the terraces at Wallsall even if the players are wearing it 😁
