Just go in your Spiderman costume, I gather it's quite close to the final design

They got the stock in before Xmas. Delay in releasing it is purely a commercial decision.

Not a good decision by my reckoning missed the Christmas sale period!!

Not so, they sell the home shirt for Xmas market and then everyone buys another away one when they come out.

In August.

Debasers got reasoning spot on. A lot of people want a shirt for Xmas. If only one design is available they will buy that one. There is the the potential that they will prefer the other design when's it's released post Xmas and buy that too. If they release both designs before Xmas people will choose the design they prefer and maybe only buy one, reducing sales. People take the choice to either get a shirt for Xmas or wait until they see both designs before purchasing.

Or, like Hull FC do, release both shirts early enough to get one normally, and then one for Christmas!

They must do it for a reason and I assume they must be believe that they sell more that way. For my part, I nearly always wait until I have seen both shirts before I decide to purchase one or not. I would prefer to be able to give them my cash sooner rather than just before kick off but there you go!

I understand this years shirts are the same fabric quality (poor IMO) for a little more dough.. I hope the away design is a good one. I'd love to be able to purchase a really good quality Bulls shirt, I don't think the ones they sell the fans would withstand one tackle!! I wonder if the club would consider doing a pre-order of a proper replica around the £50-60 price?

Not true. All stocks of shirt fabric have had to be temporarily diverted to Warrington, to make Solomona's kit.

what have they done with solomonas old kit? used it to patch the roof?

pmsl

Did solomona wear the flag too as it always smelled like i imagine one of his shirts would.

I disagree (in a friendly way) the idea is to maximise sales, the shirt could have been for sale over the Christmas period it does not matter when the supporter buys the shirt, at least everyone would have had a chance of deciding which shirt to get, first some may have wanted the away shirt for Christmas then decided to get the home shirt later.

I don't get why we can't be shown an image, even if they haven't got stocks yet

I mean, its not as if they haven't actually designed it yet, or so I assume anyway.....
