Not bad at all. Will happily buy that. Lets hope they get enough stock this time. Have we confirmed it is indeed Puma then and not Genesis?

Just wondering if the Prem letters and number style will change to coincide with the rebranding?

Not sold on it in that picture, wanna see it in person.

 

The biggest thing that is going to make me buy it is simply the fact it's the kit we're wearing as champions.

Yeah it's pretty f**ked. Been looking forward to the release since last week now to be told there's a delay with online.

I can sort of understand the delay with the online release. For the time being at least, demand for the shirt will likely be global, especially considering that the club ballsed up with this season's stock as much as it did. I guess that the only way that they can guarantee that x amount of shirts don't get bought up by the 'glory hunters' from afar before fans and people in the city can get them is to do things this way. Not at all to say that this is fair to actual fans who don't happen to live in the city or within a reasonable distance, I'm in your boat too, so I recognise the frustration. Hopefully my dad will be able to pick me one up tomorrow, failing that I might have a go on Saturday when I'm back for the game, though it'll likely be mayhem at the store, which is off putting. I imagine that supply vs demand will be much, much better though this year. Touch wood.

This isn't an 'anti-new fan' thing though, in any case it's good for the club, so it's okay with me. I can just understand why things are the way the are, if that is indeed the reason.

I completely understand and agree with the Club doing this, to an extent. But say a third party seller sells them before the release online by the Club it could hurt their early sales, not by a lot because almost everyone in Leicester will be stocking up on it, but it could do a bit of damage.

If I fail to get one before the 20th, release date the 25th, and see one online somewhere else I won't hesitate to purchase one at the right price of course. But if it's a clear dodgy one from Aliexpress I'll hold off as is rather my money go to the Club rather than to a dodgy supplier

I don't blame you. It might be worth checking Puma's website at nine, though. If that's the official 'release time' then they might have a few. It may even be part of a deal that means we're featured on their website now, or at least seem to be when we weren't beforehand. The club take all the physical sales (as they would anyway) and Puma take the early online market in return for the further exposure, not that we really need it at the moment haha. In all likelihood I could be entirely wrong, but it can't hurt to have a look.

You could be right, but I have a sneaky suspicion that there's a clause between the Club and Puma that states there's a timeframe between when only the Club can sell them, to reap maximum profit for the time being, and when Puma and other suppliers sell them.

Hopefully I'm wrong! But I'd say elsewhere would be a pit more expensive with the shirts including shipping as well as name/name printing and badge printing.

I'm just that sort of person that does not like waiting haha

I only have 2 Leicester shirts. 1983 and 1996 (not really a shirt buyer). But I think this is one I may add to the limited collection.

(Unless it has gold on it - in which case I am only going to buy it so I can burn it together with a Thai flag and pictures of the owners who have defiled our club by giving us our greatest ever moment in history).
