    My lad will be 8 end of August and is wanting the full Norwich kit. Problem is we live in Sheffield and cannot try it on for size. Past experience has shown me that the NCFC clothing tends to be on the small size. For example I take a large Tshirt size but a large that was bought for me from the Canary shop a few months ago was too small for me (more like a medium size). It has also happened before so I can't trust their sizes any more. I've tried getting help from the Canary store but cannot give me any further info on sizes which find ridiculously unhelpful. Their junior sizes just state 'Age 7-8 small boys' and 'Age 9-10 medium boys'. My lad is small for his age, measures 121cm tall (just under 4 ft), and measures 24" chest, but is quite long in the body (short legs run in our family). Just tried on a new Tshirt (Fruits of the Loom) which is Age 7-8, 128cm and this fits well, but some of his other 7-8 Tshirts are too short in the length. Why can't manufacturers get together and have consistent sizes? He wants name and number on back so if wrong fit then we wont be able to return it so wasting £45. I'd really apreciate some help, particularly from anyone who has bought for an 8 yr old of similar size. Thanks.

    I want to get my 2yo a Norwich shirt. Unfortunately they only sell them with shorts and socks. This is rediculous as she will never wear the full kit (as I think it looks a little naff on anyone other than players. I have nothing against those that want the full kit, it is just that I dont.) She will wear the shirt with jeans and trainers just like daddy.

    Aparently I have to pay for things I dont want just to get the thing I do. What a rip-off!!!

    Agree with you about being a rip-off. I'm getting annoyed with the Canary Store. They can charge so much for a kiddies shirt and yet can't even provide me with further info on the sizes, 'Age 7-8 small boys' is meaningless as varies alot between manufacturers. What kind of customer service is that? I've just tried sending a message on their internet site without success.
    I'd still appreciate any help with my original post. Thanks.
