So 2 different first kits is okay i suppose so long as they only have one alternative kit.
Still an odd decision imo

We all know that it will be out soon, but why all the silence? Surely a marketing campaign is best by advertising the product with little clippets and teasers with a date...like what they do for new films etc...?
The issue with revealing teasers etc is the fakes.
Though no reason why they couldn't say a release date.

They want to make sure they get the spelling correct on all media.

It's got pickup on The S*n's website, which I imagine is the idea - just like that Huddersfield kit with the Paddy Power sash across it a few years ago. It shows off Wimbledon, Hummel and Football Manager, plus it's got us talking about it

Wimbledon have probably worked out that the third kits don't sell as well so this is a trial for an alternative home kit. Don't like the new home blue kit? What about this one instead? How about both? Maybe it's not as crazy as it sounds. How many fixtures actually warrant a third kit in the first place?

Dude. Can we pack it in. Constantly asking on here when the 3rd shirts out when no one bar the club knows, if anyone had known they would have posted it.


And don’t get me started on the transfer thread antics.

I know it isn't what it looks like. Even so, surely they're asking for trouble?

The club would do well to interrupt this whole transfer dross with a 3rd kit. In the meantime, here is CRYSTAL PALACE home this season...

ahm...

HAJDUK SPLIT (Away last season)!
(also notice the spray can, reused in our home release this year.)

(I like Macron, but have they no sense of shame?)
