Mark_w Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 A) I agree B) I have just tried going directly and I'm in a queue Ah fair enough, it was working earlier. Clearly they've stamped that out.
lcfc278 Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 they think it generates hype but really the fanbase who buy shirts isn't going to want to buy one more because of waiting, they want it for the summer like someone on here said
lcfcsnow Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 I said as much here - http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/topic/95148-when-will-our-new-kit-be-out/?p=2998099 For whatever reason we are always the last club to release pictures of the new kit.
Jace Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 Well that sneak preview was well worth the wait really surprised to see Premier League badges on a blue sleeve
Manny2802 Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 What happened to discount for STH as well and I agree with what people are saying you aren't going to order something u don't know what it looks like
Merging Cultures Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 The company that runs the website is rubbish, or maybe we need to buy more bandwidth with them? Clearly, when they send out an email to a list, they can assume xx% of recipients are going to click on it to see a glimpse of the new kit. And when they post it on Facebook they can assume another xx% of followers will also click. Add those numbers together and ensure you have enough bandwidth to not annoy your fans!
J.Lisemore Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 Wouldn't surprise me if they delay it and we have to play in last seasons shirt v Everton to be honest.
Samilktray Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 Can already tell from that 'preview' that the sleeves are gonna be too big and baggy.
docho66 Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 The release date was decided a couple of months ago and we know how the club love a tease and plus it seems to works The website is currently unable to handle all the people wanting to buy You and others might not get it but this is actually a good marketing ploy I work in marketing - this is clearly a disappointing campaign so far. To release a picture of the sleeve with a PL badge on it is not the best strategy for generating the hype. They should have just announced the launch date and not included the silly pre-order. Of course there will always be those fans who will buy regardless of price and appearance, but to get the masses excited? It's not exactly ideal. A defined schedule of teasers should be in place to add excitement to the whole process, not just a statement saying "unveiled on 19th July"... that's not getting the fans' pants wet!
Cockney Fox Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 I don't even think that's the shirt, just a premier league badge on what looks like a blue blanket.

But it is generating hype people like us are talking about it What's so silly about pre-ordering its been a common practice for years How do you know there isn't a defined schedule of teasers
jammie82uk Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 Can already tell from that 'preview' that the sleeves are gonna be too big and baggy. Surely that can't be the shirt, far too baggy. I'm Intrigued on how you can tell from that picture
Nick Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 I feel it unlikely I'll pre-order myself a short sleeved shirt for the winter which may not fit and I might not like.
Larry_LCFC Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 There is no way that is the actual shirt in the picture. It isn't football shirt material for starters. Looks like a premier league badge stuck on a really cheap shitty blue polo shirt or t-shirt

There's no explosion of "WOW"s or people declaring that they're going to buy the shirt/pre-order. In marketing, especially sports marketing they need to be more creative! They've used their Kasabian connection for the hashtag, so maybe they should have let Serge wear it for part of their Leicester concert/Glasto. The silly thing about THIS particular pre-order is, you've not seen the product. So why should they expect people to pre-order it? Normally you preview the kit, then open for pre-order. I don't know if there is a defined schedule of teasers or not, but IMO they've not hinted at it (to create hype).
Ricey Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 There is no way that is the actual shirt in the picture. It isn't football shirt material for starters. Looks like a premier league badge stuck on a really cheap shitty blue polo shirt or t-shirt I think it is. On the version on the LCFC Direct homepage, you can see the ghosted remains of the badge in the top left, which they've rather poorly tried to hide. You can see it has gold trim around it, which none of the training wear does. Also, I suspect the reason they aren't unveiling it now is because they've yet to have the players available for a photoshoot.

Surely would be too hot to play in. More like a training polo
PAULCFC Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 Don't understand anyone preordering it.It's not as if it's a limited edition or their going to run out.
Samilktray Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 I'm Intrigued on how you can tell from that pictureBy looking at the it?
Jace Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 Agree with Ricey about the shirt part, you can clearly see where the badge has been edited out for the picture
promised land Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 50 ****ing quid Are you serious? Wow, they have left up since the Buurda days then.

Brooksy Posted 4 July 2014 Posted 4 July 2014 I'm Intrigued on how you can tell from that picture I don't think we're looking at the same picture.
