It was a picture of Hanley in the original kit that this new one is copied off.

And what a player he was! I feel privileged to have seen him play.

The away one is the best and will probably be the best seller
The home one is probably the worst ever cherry and white shirt that the club has released in its history,I dread to think what any over weight fans will look like whilst wearing that shirt

What the hell is that yellow shirt all about?

When are the shirts on sale in the wigan shop

All gone quiet on this...and very few shopping days left before Christmas.

The club have left it rather late again this year, my missus nagging me about it (as if it's my fault) as it's one of the main presents for both kids.

Just seen on the official site they've had a limited delivery of adults and kids in the away shirt and a delivery of adults sizes in the lollipop mans kit.

They say they will provide an update on the home shirt as and when they have one. You'd have to think getting some home shirts would be priority?!

I dont know what the cause of the delay is but it doesnt look great when Leeds put out a press release saying they've sold 10k shirts in the Xmas build up.

Awful cock up in the delay in launching the new home shirt.
Whoever is responsible needs a kick up the arris.
Every season it seems we can't launch a kit in a timely manner. Poor management and planning can be the only explanation for repeated indescresions in this area.

Not something that affects me, but the constant failures in this area are pretty appalling.. Great sales opportunity missed... And it's not as if Xmas dates vary FFS!!!

How badly run is our commercial department compared to sides like the Rhinos
Here's a heads up to them for future years

Xmas is a time when people tend to buy each other gifts and fans of sports sides tend to like receiving their sides new shirts at the earliest opportunity, so Before Xmas would be nice

It's surprising because Lenagan seems to be a savvy businessman but these constant issues year in year out surely do the club no favours.

Had the home shirt been on sale pre Christmas id have probably just asked my missus or my parents to get it for me. They nag for ideas and aside from something like that I don't really have any. When it's left up to me to buy it I probably won't bother. That's £47 they've lost out on and many more will be in the same boat.

I was saying the same thing at work yesterday. I can't believe that IL has let it happen so frequently. Someone is responsible for this I'm surprised that IL puts up with it.

This is just bread and butter stuff. Your basics!!

Not good enough.

Couldn't agree more.
At times we are fantastic as a club eg the young lad from Hindley who designed the U19s shirt and a great video on Wigan TV to what appears to be total incompetence in launching a new kit in time for Xmas.
IL must take ultimate responsibility for this. Very disappointing.
I know I'm very critical at times but expect much better from the club.

You would think so, but it gets worse. Like many I buy the kids a top each as part of their presents and it's always on their list. I have been keeping the money back and an eye on any launch day, and now I'm thinking it's not going to come so I will do the next best thing and get them a gift voucher for warriors world so they can their own as soon as they come in stock. Went in store only to find out they have no gift vouchers left as it seems many have had the same idea. I Can't even do that now, it's past being a joke! I asked if they were getting any vouchers in before Christmas, probably not was the reply.
