Never understand the bulls and why they delay the release of the away shirt. First game is less than a month away and still not even an image . They will probably announce in the coming weeks about it's release date and as per will of left it too late to get stock prior to the season start = stupid

It takes time to get enough LSD together to spike the entire Bradford water supply so people will like the away jersey enough to buy it.

Just go in your Spiderman costume, I gather it's quite close to the final design

They got the stock in before Xmas. Delay in releasing it is purely a commercial decision.

Not a good decision by my reckoning missed the Christmas sale period!!

Not so, they sell the home shirt for Xmas market and then everyone buys another away one when they come out.

In August.

Debasers got reasoning spot on. A lot of people want a shirt for Xmas. If only one design is available they will buy that one. There is the the potential that they will prefer the other design when's it's released post Xmas and buy that too. If they release both designs before Xmas people will choose the design they prefer and maybe only buy one, reducing sales. People take the choice to either get a shirt for Xmas or wait until they see both designs before purchasing.

Or, like Hull FC do, release both shirts early enough to get one normally, and then one for Christmas!

They must do it for a reason and I assume they must be believe that they sell more that way. For my part, I nearly always wait until I have seen both shirts before I decide to purchase one or not. I would prefer to be able to give them my cash sooner rather than just before kick off but there you go!

I understand this years shirts are the same fabric quality (poor IMO) for a little more dough.. I hope the away design is a good one. I'd love to be able to purchase a really good quality Bulls shirt, I don't think the ones they sell the fans would withstand one tackle!! I wonder if the club would consider doing a pre-order of a proper replica around the £50-60 price?

point is theres added pressure from kids etc to get a shirt for xmas. If both are available before xmas then they would pick favorite and not bother with other. If only one is available at xmas then they will get that one so they get a present. Then after xmas 2nd one is released when they have xmas money/vouchers to spend.

Not true. All stocks of shirt fabric have had to be temporarily diverted to Warrington, to make Solomona's kit.

what have they done with solomonas old kit? used it to patch the roof?

pmsl

We're using it as a replacement to that flag we pass along the terraces from time to time.

Did solomona wear the flag too as it always smelled like i imagine one of his shirts would.

I disagree (in a friendly way) the idea is to maximise sales, the shirt could have been for sale over the Christmas period it does not matter when the supporter buys the shirt, at least everyone would have had a chance of deciding which shirt to get, first some may have wanted the away shirt for Christmas then decided to get the home shirt later.

I don't get why we can't be shown an image, even if they haven't got stocks yet

I mean, its not as if they haven't actually designed it yet, or so I assume anyway.....

Okay scrub the above. Gledhill who said he'd seen stock before xmas has now admitted he was lying through his teeth!

Also does anyone know if the bulls will have junior kits available this year? Thought it was a ridiculous that on the first 'pledge' year that they decided to stop the junior kits because they were unpopular the previous year. I for one started taking my 3 year old and wanted to buy a shirt for her but couldn't .

Didn't know about this. Would have thought the junior kits would have been the best sellers.

pretty certain they have junior kits this year. was in store before xmas and someone came in with a little lad about 7/8yrs old and bought him a shirt which he put on and looked to fit ok. youth size would have dwarfed him so assume it was a junior size.

just checked, they have junior sizes on shop website so they must have re-introduced them.

Sorry, as you can see i've put my 3 year old and i thinks that size is classed as a infant not junior . Either way no shirt was available last year for a 3/4 year old

So we get to at least see it on the 25th I'm sure someone on here will be going and taking pictures for us all

Thought the Bullbuilder annual meeting was being held on the 25th in the Coral Stand ?

Surely the club wouldn't deliberately clash with an event organised by their most loyal
fans !
