Quote: TV BOY "Well it would be a good idea if someone who knows could tell us the real reason for this then any conspiricy theories can be put to bed. Are there any otther teams that don't show their second strip till late January? Anyway I dont buy one as my more portly figure won't stand up to it. What I would like to see is the full first kit. Shorts socks an all. Can we get the lady who does the numbers and letters on Coutdown to model it. She is a babe.'"
Widnes aren't releasing our away shirt until January and haven done in past few seasons (though was the home shirt last year).
Quite simply marketing I believe. You bring out 2 shirts at the same time most will pick there favourite and simply buy that. This way people in theory will see the first released shirt, buy that for Christmas and as it's 'the new thing' etc and then if they like the second release as now that's the 'new thing' they'll in theory buy that also... I did last season yet have never bought home & away before that.
(in January).
