Pats new away jersey.
Not a great picture its fairly plain and simple but It's not too bad, no idea what colour shorts and socks but I'd guess navy.

If Sligo want to put a star on their shirt, who cares? Little symbols and shirt styles in general have meanings of their own (Derry's candystripes I believe are a tribute to Sheffield United, Juventus' black and white stripes are based on a Notts County kit they wore early in their history) and a star doesn't have to signify anything to do with titles.

We were actually originally claret & blue, but Sheffield Utds manager came over and took over us and changed our colours to red & white stripes.

Isn't that just an inverted Shels jersey circa 2000-2002?

Billy Gillespie he was, from Kerrykeel, so not quite sure "came over", as if he was an outsider to Ireland, gives the correct impression. :)

It's almost the same as a navy shirt of that era that we had. Similar the way that the current national away is siilar to an away shirt we had at that time and the home is like the home from around that time as well.

Its the exact same style as our home kit. Inverse of that so...

Navy is seen now as the "traditional" away colour by most Pats fans so most seem happy enough with it

I'd have preferred something a bit more striking

City launching new merchandise and new away jersey.

What price will the new shirts be? Reason I ask is, Nike are usually the most expensive of all the brands, and this can effect sales with some clubs. For comparison the new Black Dundalk away top is €50 I think.

Well it is teamwear; I wouldn't anticipate them going of point and having something more than 50quid.

Dundalk jersey is €55 for adults, €45 for children

I think teamware are only the Irish supplier, the make will still show nike. Looks a nice top mind, from photos I saw.

Edit, just saw above, Dlk's away is indeed €55 and it didnt appear to have any effect on sales.

I think that's a standard enough price around the league, although maybe that's just the Umbro clubs as Pats and Sligo are the same (both recently released)

[nigel-harps1954]

Harps had fairly cheap jerseys with Macron last year. Although, far as I know they were a disaster to deal with and Harps rarely had anything in the club shop because of them. Jerseys were only around 40 quid.

Just a general question out there for Umbro kits?
How are other clubs relationship with Umbro. It appears Dundalk never gets what's ordered from them and always seems to be a supply Charin issue? How is it with your clubs?

The problem seems to be compounded this year with the special star on the new shirts leading to probably unprecedented demand from a DFC POV but AFAIK what's ordered is not what's being delivered

I don't see why we'd move kit suppliers if it was going very well.

[Titan]

Unfortunately there are always problems with the supply of kit. Whether for the shop or for the team. Sometimes the club are at fault and sometimes the supplier. Would love to know if any club can say they haven't had any issues with their current/last supplier. Or indeed if any supplier can say they've had no issues with the clubs they supply!

I'd say it's more the fact that you're doing well and getting far more supporters through the gate than previous kit launches (it being a lovely kit helps too)

Look at all the umbro clubs, there's always delays in getting stuff through. Part of that is them getting burned by all clubs financially in the past so they're less likely to give loads of credit than some others

Even if it was going well, they'd still move if the other options were significantly better. Not saying that's the case but all clubs should be exploring all their options constantly
