    It won't be that, it will be late production, delayed ships rarely get in over a week late and they wouldn't be issuing statements through different clubs for over a month, just because of a shipping issue.

    It wouldn't help, we've got no chance of any penalties now we're in the Premier League...

    Macron is absolute dog ****.

    My lad's club kit a couple of seasons ago was Macron and the quality was dire.

    I think people forget the debacle with Umbro in our first year in the Prem, they ran out of shirts just in time for Christmas so they're no better than Adidas for reliability.

    We should buck the trend and approach a company that can offer an original, bespoke and prestigious product.

    Step forward Lonsdale.

    I understand that they didn't get the iron-on "Hull City Tigers" badges until the 11th hour.

    The Blackpool kit is awful. I think the Bournemouth 3rd kit is beautiful and I'd love that as out away shirt with amber for red, obvs.

    I'd have that Bournemouth home kit in our colours as well, as long as it didn't have the massive Fila patches on the shoulders.

    Well, Roma make their own kits, and they look pretty nice, albeit quite basic...

    How about if I said it was "aaaandsome" in a Ray Winston-esque accent?

    If only Carmine if only.

    I did write to Mr Ashley awhile ago now, but as he pointed out a Lion and a Tiger. Its a no.

    Donnay is surely as good as it gets. Its like asking for Moore and getting Connery, not too shabby.

    Let's really buck the trend and ask a very local supplier - Prem could do it.....

    I actually quite excited when Adidas was unveiled as kit suppler, but these generic templates are awful.

    Nick Thompson, said they're thinking about going with a smaller company and getting individual kit.

    My thought is that you get some no mark brand that no ****er has ever heard of and it'll be a disaster.

    Football shirts and all the training gear is for kids IMO. You wouldn't see me dead in any of it. My lad on the other hand can't get enough of it and it's mainly the training gear. The tracksuit tops, polo training tops, sweat pants etc and the simple fact is the Adidas stuff looks decent.

    We go with someone like Patrick or Palada and your average teenager wouldn't be seen dead in the twat.

    Just my opinion.

    I think they're both fantastic. They seem to aim their shirts at adults rather than kids and grasp that classy and simple is better than jazzy ****.

    That away shirt is vewy fackin' aaaaaandsome.

    So it seems Adidas' screw up was because they put the wrong name on the badge. Oops.
