    Went online there to grab one, had in basket sold out before check out.

    Would be first home kit I’ve bought since the Nike ‘Quinn & Phillips’ one, I have stuck to training gear since.

    They must be shifting bucketloads which is great for the club. I’m generally a medium so tried for medium and large so seems all sizes are flying out

    Kitbag is owned by Fanatics so you must have got there just in time. All gone again.

    Check Vinted in a day or 2 that’s where I managed to get mine, the lad had bought 2 sizes so sold the other at face value

    going to be borderline impossible to get the away one Friday unless you can get down to the shop for it opening

    Aye no chance of getting that. Reading that we are selling them in hundreds of thousands is wild.

    Population of the city is only 300k.

    There’s nailing a kit and then there’s what Hum do have done here.

    They’ve produced a toppa shirt, but also got emotions and nostalgia they could not have done better here.

    The speed of the online sales is mad, wouldn’t be shocked to see them on eBay for mad profits same happened when they released the jackets last season

    Anyone would think the club and Hummel had got this kit right :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Everything is flying out, brilliant stuff from the commercial side

    I can’t imagine anyone has ever released a kit that has hit so many buttons with the fan base (and beyond, both kits are all over generic football sites as being top drawer to neutrals)

    I’ve got one of the half zips and if you haven’t seen the training gear in real life, trust me they looks so much better in reality than online.

    The badge is annoying but that’s what you get nowadays and it isn’t gonna change cos of the time and cost involved in stitching.

    Similar to what al hearing on the kits, size up mate cos they are snug.

    I like the way on the away the badge being in a shield don’t matter, cos the badge itself is a shield.

    It's not brilliant on a stock front mind. No way should it be gone within 3 mins of a restock.

    I agree, however I suspect that many will have been bought up with a view to reselling, wouldn't be at all surprised if quite a few turn up on Ebay, Vinted etc. In the next couple of days.
    Hope I'm wrong.

    Depends though. I don’t think even the club would have foreseen anything like this demand, and from a supplier standpoint they have a bunch of new kits for clubs to get manufactured for the new season.

    They have some big deals across Europe as well.

    Hummel’s UK distributor also went bankrupt last em year so there’s that to factor in.

    From what I can gather they are selling faster than they can make them, which is good for the club and to be honest we are selling months worth of stock in hours both on line and in the shop. They are not only being bought by fans but also collectors and by fans of other clubs across Europe and further afield which is always a good sign.

    If everyone is happy with the new away kit, wait till you see the 3rd kit! Not seen it myself but been told from someone involved with all 3 that the 3rd kit is the favourite of almost everyone that has so far seen it

    He won't give me anything as he wants to keep his job but sounds good. From what I have heard elsewhere appears to be an unusual shade of blue/green with silver
