Kit supplier and sponsor from 21/22

[Bigdoggsteel]

I don't see why anyone cares or its an issue the 3rd kit is "unnecessary" . Buy it if you want, don't if you don't want. 

Am I missing something?

I suppose the question is whether a third kit was always the plan (seems unnecessary to me especially using a landmark such as the 30th anniversary of 1991-92 promotion.

Or whether we've been forced to get a third kit because of supply issues with the home and away kits and Macron had some spare to put in the club shop.

 

I'm all for slagging off the way the club is run but they can't really win sometimes.

Finally partner with a provider who put some effort into kits (albeit with constrained supply for home/away) and they're accused of arriving there by accident.

Am I the only one wondering how Macron are going to raise the bar next season ? 😉

If Mike Graveston reads this….inspiration attached 😉

Reversing the halves on the back = bar raised!

[Miller11]

Nice change from the none too subtle reminders from the club that it’s not the 90’s any more!

Looks a nice shirt!

This is the kind of attitude that infuriates me. Fans desperate to find a negative slant wherever they can.

If Macron had palmed us off with two off-the-rail kits then you’d be complaining that not enough effort was being made.

They’ve clearly gone the extra mile with this and for what it’s worth, no I don’t think they’ve knocked up a third strip which coincidentally happens to be in the same colour as our play off win, in the space of two weeks just because the club shop are running low.

3 kits, 3 belters for me!

[Gumbi]

I would imagine the reason we need a third kit for tomorrow is down to the home kit being all blue on one side and the away being all black on one side which would both be deemed to clash with Millwall's kit. I would fully expect us to wear it against both Stoke and Sheffield United too.

Third kits are pretty much standard for all teams now, whether they need them or not. Norwich always release pointless third kits, and Crystal Palace have a released a pointless third kit this season too as have Brentford.

The only thing that concerns me about the new kit is that is doesn't mention that it will available to buy online, which would extremely inconvenient.

All for it. Red and black, yellow with blue trim are the quintessential away Rovers colours.

But surely the yellow should’ve been held back for next season? 

Nah yellow is a crap kit colour, rather we got it out the way this year in the form of one we will barely wear 😛

Yes and it's unecessery to use the 30th anniversary of the play off win. 

Like, why?? I don't understand

I don't blame Rovers or the retail manager for the lack of stock but Macron for the late delivery of the shirt and the lack of enough start. 

Plus I don't like that new shirt are fitted so will be far too tight

Order a bigger size…? 🤔

They've got nothing else to talk about. As long as the rest of the world don't take it seriously.

Mind you in the London centric/obsessed world of Sky expect them to start hailing them as the 'oldest' club.

Fulham have been marketing themselves on similar lines - branding themselves as 'London's Originals' as they are older than anyone else.

I have an issue with Stoke City claiming to have been founded in 1863 making them the oldest or second oldest side around. Firstly there was no mention of Stoke City back then, but Stoke Ramblers, and there's significant uncertainty as to when they were actually formed. It wasn't until 1878 that they became known as Stoke FC which is how they joined the Football League. They also went bankrupt at the start of the 1900s which raises a question as to whether the same club then rejoined the league later or a new one.

 

Sheffield FC 1857 - and they've got gorgeous kits this year too 👀

Unneccessary? How? It's good that we support a club with historical achievements like that and we should be rightfully proud of them.

Love all this year's shirts. Gonna be expensive getting BB Diaz 22 on each!

Next season, do yellow and blue halves, and red with black trim

Looks like a Little Britain sketch

[Roverthechimp]

From website:

"The kits will be available to purchase from the Roverstore next month in a limited edition presentation box."

So expect a price tag around 65 quid then including said box.

Also got the impression that ALL of our kits this season are "limited editions" 🤔😜🤣

The range of kits this year must collectively be the best ever?!

I mean they haven't even got the halves (quarters) right on the home kit - so, no. Not even close.

Another poster said that..I was agreeing that I didn't understand why that slant was worth focusing on. I didn't word it very clearly actually 

[Oldgregg86]

I call the club for almost everything these days but I’m struggling to understand anything but a fair play and well done for those three kits. I normally buy retro rovers shirts but I will be acquiring all three of these at some point . Well done macron 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[Ossydave]

Some really odd negativity in here, but I guess that's the mood around the fanbase right now. Another great kit in my eyes 👍

Regarding the availability, does anyone know where the kits are made? I would assume Italy? We're in the midst of a global shipping crisis, take it from someone who knows its an absolute nightmare getting stock right now and no sign of it easing unless you pay way over the odds. We're going to see many empty shelves and inflated prices in shops pre Xmas folks so my advice to you all is buy early this year!

 

[Stuart]

Three nice shirts really. When Mowbray leaves we will probably purchase three shirts.

#oldshirtsontil…

Oh stop it Stuart, nobody cares about any kind of symbolic but financially impactful protest to put any pressure on, they’d prefer to only moan on a messageboard.

I think they are made in the Far East then shipped to Europe

That definitely explains it then. 

The price has gone over 20k dollars a container now (that's if you can even manage to get containers) its an absolute mess.

Yeah, but have the gone the whole hog and done possibly three of our best kits in one go? Not a fan of the half's either, but still, very good debut by them. How can they better it next season?
