has anyone any details on the new kit or merch, like when its supposed to be out or anything?

let this season finnish properly first eh

yeah true, but dont they usually (with the exception of last year) release it around november? Anyone know if mecca bingo will still be the sponsors?

I have heard from a very reliable source that its going to be a retro design harking back to the Classic 1997 shirt.

will it have cherry and white hoop's and four hole's in it?

I sincerely hope not!
If so, thats another year of family Xmas prezzies down the pan!!

I dont care what the new kit will look like.maybe its time for a year away from Hoops like 98.

I loved that kit

not a fan of the mecca sponsorship then?

I'd love the option of buying the shirt without a sponsor. We can but dream.

i think for that you need a u16 shirt with an alcohol or gambling sponsor

Can you tell?
Liked the design of the shirt.....But hate the Mecca logo.
Always reminds me of Blue-rinsed Grannies, clickety-click, 2 fat ladies etc etc.


It was a simple question to me - would i walk around this here village, with [ithat[/i logo on the shirt? Answer - NO!
First replica since '94 that i havent bought. Even when it was offered dirt cheap online.
Please, please. please, IL ...... Sort it out!

Any chance of getting one of the reserve shirts with The co-operative on?

i just read between the lines, im a very perceptive person, it's kind of a gift

lol

You might see that come true we havent a sponser yet for next year!!

Is MECCA infor another 12 months or a new sponcer

A new one I think, what with the rumours of the shirt being available for christmas without a sponsor, and then you can take it back in the new year and they'll print the sponsor for free.

I'll try and track down evidence of that rumour, a friend just told me that's what she's read, or had been told by a reliable source. Can't remember which...

I'd like them to stay on for at least another year.

As much as people moan about trivial things like the logo on the kit Mecca have been good for us imo. I can’t even remember the half time show Mecca came along?

I just wish they’d get a different Wigan ‘legend’ every week to do the half time challenge. They could do a feature on each player with an interview on the web page in the week running up to it and really build it up in stature. It would be a nice way to remember some of the former greats of our club.

George the kitman says the shirts are ready, they don't look good on paper but commented that in the flesh they look good

Well there is no more reliable source on all things kit wise than George, I trust him!!

I googled "Wigan shirt Pemps" in the hope that we'd get the inside track from the man that single-handedly "spoiled" the alleged supplier of the 2009 kit but only managed to find [url=http://www.myspace.com/pempsplacethis[/url.

I'll keep up the detection work.

Did they have a sponsor on?

Any idea the colour of the 2nd strip?
Blue again or black like 2008?

What are they like then?

He wouldnt disclose anything else, just said shirts were ready, he had seen the shirt on paper and then he said they look better in the flesh. Wouldnt say about the sponser but didnt say there was a new one so assuming it may still be mecca bingo
