Available at end of February? can anyone explain how this can be justified at a professional club? I'm appalled. So annoyed I've posted on 3 forums. We lose so much moey from poor merchandising!

Possibly a problem with Kooga who i believe have a reputation for unreliability.

Probably not the clubs fault although the slick merchandising machine seems to have ground to a halt in the close season. It is not a good sign when off field systems do not seem to work.

Lets hope they were concentrating on onfield success and they took their eye off the ball when it came to merchandising. I wonder if there have been any staff changes or anything else. The Giants have pulled out of the schools programme as well. Is Ken thinking about losses and profits

I'm sure the club are acutely aware that it's not what should be going on. They'll be seeing that in the tills.

Why not let us know then? So at least we feel they know what they are doing.

Why not assume that they know what they're doing?

They've said when the shirts are out. What more can they do? As soon as they have them they will sell them. It's not exactly professional bad mouthing suppliers, even if they have been shambolic with their service.

i agree its unacceptable and very poor for the club!

they managed to get crabtrees shirt ready??

kept my receipt for the home shirt so hopefully can change it for the away one when it comes out end of feb (hope its before the 28days that i can do this in )

The away shirt looks really smart. Mainly blue with a white v at the bottom with other bits of white in and amongst. Looks like I'll be £48 lighter come the end of feb. One of the best looking kits we've had for a while!!! Really smart and eye catching

Having seen the terriers in action tonight, I agree wholeheartedly with the title of this thread.

The away kit is totally, 100% unacceptable.

Since when have Fartown played in Town colours?

It's AWFUL.

If Fartown play like town have at the Galpharm this season I'd be really happy and come away happy virtually every home game.
A really nice kit with an excellent coice of colours!!!

Got to admit i was not keen on the away kit myself but woulkd like to see it close up before giving a final view.

seemed like a cross between one of wigans old ones and Swintons.

will probably get the kids the new home one but doubt i will be buying one for myself.

Think the shirt looks great, I will be buying one.

after seeing the shirt on another forum it's not to bad.same as the home one but instead of tattoo it's the giants head image.people who don't like the home one possibly won't like this. its white and mainly blue i'll never say it the other way round.

It's certainly very different and whilst I'm not instantly hooked I can certainly see it growing on me.

I may well end up getting it when it comes out.

not a fan at all

Is there anywhere to see it? Just out of curiosity

you won't be popping down town to see it then

I like it!! Beats the crazy purple and blue shirt from a few years ago. I prefer it to the home shirt.

I can only presume the "closer co-operation" means we can wear it if we pop down to try a "town" match without forking out for the other one??



Cant wait to see their away shirt for next season!!


claret and gold stripes???

Quite like it actually. For all the HTFC detractors - just think of it as Dual Seal Glass colours.

Anyone else noticed on both shirts there is a slight change to the Logo!!!!

They've got the stadium arches back on the the shoulders of the giant?

liking this shirt

hopefully get my home one exchanged for this one now

Yes and now may have to get my golf bag re-logoed

From the Giants site

Giants Marketing Manager James Brammer commented:

“There has been lots of speculation on the message boards about the alternative kit so it was good to see it unveiled for the fans last night. We wanted the claret and gold out ahead of Christmas as always which was a deadline we hit and then with the launch of Eorl Crabtree's Testimonial shirt we felt it only fair in the economic climate to hold back with our second strip to enable Eorl to maximize his opportunities. The plan fell slightly awry with the cancellation of his game but with his shirts now in the shop and selling well we will follow in with ours in mid February as was always our intention.”


I too like the shirt, but wether you do or dont, respect for the club for letting Eorl get his out first, which I have got and realy realy like.
The Future is bright for giants in claret and gold and blue and white and Eorl in black and orange.

Lets get this season started and can feel more good times ahead in my bones.
