Ricey Posted 2 April 2006 Share Posted 2 April 2006 As far as I know the kit won't be worn against Plymouth and will be unveiled in late June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobbo Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 Not unveiled until late June and still a one year cycle? Nice one City, you don't rip us off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it was semi-good value last season when they brought it out in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_1988 Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 I'm pretty sure we are keeping the next shirt for 2 seasons aren't we? We got a 3 year deal with JJB, so there had to be a one season shirt, and then a two season one. I might be wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 Not unveiled until late June and still a one year cycle? Nice one City, you don't rip us off. The whole 'design a shirt' has seemed very unorganised to me throughout it all, like the club are making it up as they go along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magictv Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 Afraid I wont be gettign one if it's only one year, cause it just seems silly. Anyone emailed Tim Davies about wether it is still one year or if it's two.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 The deal is for three x one season kits. The new kit is being unveiled in June. There are concerns over rip offs, which is hwy they're being tight-lipped about it, especially as it's one of 6 made public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 Even if we have 2 year kits I always end up buying a second one the following season anyway because after a year (my) shirts look full of pull-threads/out worn, e.t.c, I like 1 year systems, its expensive and the club do rip fans off, but personally I see no problem with 1 year kits TBH. No-ones making you buy a shirt, If you think the clubs ripping you off boycott it, If you don't buy you don't have to worry. Now whos "moaning" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syko Posted 3 April 2006 Share Posted 3 April 2006 he does have a point if you want a shirt you buy one if you don't then you wait till its only £15 but this way you wear a Leicester Shirt with pride because it looks new most of the time. How many other t-shirts do you wear for more than a year before they become tatty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No-ones making you buy a shirt, If you think the clubs ripping you off boycott it, If you don't buy you don't have to worry. Now whos "moaning" Well the proof is in the sales figures & they are well down this year. Although our League position is a factor, when we surveyed our members when the one year cycle was announced, nearly half the members said they wouldn't buy it. The JJB deal is actually for 5 years, with a 3 year opt out, however we will continue to try to persuade the club to re-negotiate with JJB, as greater sales for a 2 year cycle kit would benefit for all parties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Fox Posted 4 April 2006 Share Posted 4 April 2006 I've just seen today that Coventry have signed a five year shirt deal wih Puma. How come we always get the most cr@ppest shirt makers going?? I mean we had Fox Leisure, then we got Le C0ck Sportif, and now JJ Bloody B!! I think once we've got rid of JJb the club should look at trying to do a deal with half decent brand such as Nike, Addidas, Reebok, Puma etc We've been walking around in our kits for the last 15 years or so looking like a bunch of gypos!! Come it's time we got a decent kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamite foxes Posted 4 April 2006 Share Posted 4 April 2006 Our deal with JJb is a very good one as they don't do that many teams. Cov's deal will be crap becuase so many teams have Puma. I like JJb I think the shirts this year have all been really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be daft. Reebok aren't as popular as they used to be, but they are still suppliers for Man City and Bolton. It amazes me that Cov have got a deal with Puma, that is a coup, Puma stuff is usually very robust. I complained about the 1 year cycle of the home kit and people have been complaining about it's durability, I bought the yellow kit which is on a two year cycle because I am stingy, and I have already ruined it. At the end of next season, all the kits will be changed, so it will be interesting to see what the club does then. I've just bought the 1995 home shirt of ebay, for £6.50 Chuffed with that.

Phube Posted 4 April 2006 Share Posted 4 April 2006 I'm sure that a few years ago (1997ish) an edict came out (either from the FA or government) that said a shirt cycle MUST be 2 years to stop ripping the fans off. Am I dreaming or did this happen?? If so when did it stop being enforced as loads are now on a 1 year cycle.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it happened, altho it prob didnt cos we've got a one year kit cycle at the moment. I do remeber in 1998 everyone kicked off cos England bought out a new kit for the world cup just after christmas when a load had been bought as christmas presents. May've been then that action would've been taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartonFox Posted 4 April 2006 Share Posted 4 April 2006 Several lower league Scottish sides have their kits manufactured by Nike, it's a little something they do to help out. City have always had crap kit suppliers because their is this belief we are bigger than we are from the power that be. The fact Coventry couls tie in with Puma is just a slap in the face when we are being shafted by JJB. All the spin that comes out of City regarding the plus points of the deal are pure hogwash. Surely alarm bells should be ringing when when even the lower end of the usual football kit manufacturers are staying clear? Not even a Puma, Umbro or Reebok deal in sight. Still at least we have the "time added on" sponsored - what vision from our intrepid marketing gurus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder which club out of Leicester or Coventry will receive more revenue from the kit sponsors, sales, etc? Surely that's one of the main issues. I doubt Puma will be giving Coventry a luxurious deal unless one of their bigwigs has had the misfortune of being bought in to a Coventry supporting family. I'm not saying the JJB gig is sound business for our club but just because Coventry have a decent brand of kit sponsor might not mean they have got themselves a coup, unless of course it leads to every single Coventry supporter plus attracting some new ones to purchase a shirt, perhaps even the socks and shorts to boot.
