Morning all;

I've just phoned the Club's "Mail Order" hotline, to see if the new "Away" shirt was released yet (thinking they might have, since they have spent three days refurbishing the Club shop).

Apparently the "Away" shirt has ben delayed - again; the "Home" shirt is due August 8th, and the "Away" shirt is now expected "a couple of weeks" after that (mid-August at least).

I suppose this is inevitable due to the late announcement of the new sponsor!

August 8th is a very late release for a home shirt.

They've missed most of the summer holiday trade already (legions of beer-bellied baldies hoping to fly the Forest flag in Benidorm).

I do wonder how hard it can be to have a sponsor emblazoned on to a shirt. Get on with it.

There is a massive difference having it printed overseas or in the UK so its all about gross profit me thinks....

I do wonder what those clowns are up to with their generic template sometimes!

Generic template reduces the suppliers costs...they don't pass this saving on to the fans...their profits increase.

Simple economics.

It's a running source of embarrassment that Forest keep their kit design shrouded in secrecy.

The increasingly rampant Umbro machine has already churned out template shirts for dozens of clubs so it's no great mystery what the designs will be.

Last year's efforts were the most cringeworthy. Offering 'teasers' and snippets of our Everton-style template several weeks after Everton had their shirt in shops.

Cut the crap, stick it in the shop and let's get on with it.

This is just another example of this appallingly run club. It's a good job they don't organise parties in breweries!

So the club are being blamed for this but surely any delays are the fault of the supplier? If we had the shirts ready why would we not be selling them? I suppose this is as good an excuse to have a go at the club or Mark Arthur though.

It's entirely the fault of Mark Arthur. And Paul Smith. Both to blame, both as bad as each other.

Damn you Forest, I hate you for ignoring the importance of replica shirts and focusing of menial things like players. You suck :p

So let me get this right........the home shirt is going to be released on the first game of the season and we won't be able to buy the away shit until the season is underway!

I smell something here...........bullsh*t!

This is what I was told by the nice young lady I spoke to on the telephone - 0871 226 1980 - give 'em a call yourself and see what they say?

The date of release of the"Home" shirt has always been August 8th, it is the "Away" shirt which has been delayed (I believe, from memory, that the "Away" shirt was originally scheduled for release July 11th - I'm sure someone can correct me if that is wrong?)

Just spotted the new Blackburn Away shirt for 10/11 - Red design by UMBRO, much in the style of England and Man city kits, guess we can expect something similar for the coming campaign. My money is on returning to a white away shirt, which might be released before the start of the season this year lol

It would be nice if we werent so late this year. Id like a new forest shirt to wear on my holidays!

It'll be interesting to see if we get one of the "tailored by umbro" kits. You'd think the play offs would be the perfect time to get them on sale as interest sky rockets....hopefully that will be case:)

I'd be very happy with a Man City/England style home & away shirt.

Looks basic and very smart. Hopefully, they don't take ages getting it released this time, now we actually have the sponsor deal sorted. Like others, i'd like to take one away on my jollys!!!

Red home shirt
White away shirt. Brilliant.

I'd like to see that shirt returned, would be nice to see us in white again!!! I've held out getting a new shirt in a hope they would actually confirm a sponser on a longer term which they now have and should we get to the Prem, then without a doubt, I will purchase a shirt! :)
