Lancaster Rover Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Bloomin heck, it's not like Rovers to be on the ball with a pre summer shirt sale. This must be the first time in 7 or 8 years the shirt has been available pre-summer holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Amazed there hasn't been a leak yet. I guess nobody cares any more. Looks like there is some fabric folded over on the left which makes it look like a white stripe. Maybe this is to try to stoke up a reaction - or perhaps just some marketing person's template. Cant quite work out if it's going to have "Rovers" printed on the neck or if that's a photo of the inside rear of the shirt. £48 is a bit steep for a League One shirt though. Especially give how poorly last season's seemed to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Rover Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think its the neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHRover Posted June 12, 2017 Author Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think the 'Rovers' script is on the back of the neck. Unlike previous years it appears to be printed so that people can see the writing when the shirt is being worn. They've folded a sleeve over the back to create the white stripe. The most interesting part appears to be the darker blue collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyblue Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Nearly £50 is ridiculous, especially considering both home and away shirts get changed every season and are usually half price by Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonv Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I probably can't help myself when they are put up for sale. Feel like shirt sales are past the point of keeping the lights on barring serious investment though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted June 12, 2017 Moderation Lead Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think I've made this point before, but like computer games, they should never have gone beyond the £40 threshold. I'm too old to wear football shirts these days anyhow (unless I'm playing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 This is why I can never get the new kit.. 70 pounds in total for one shirt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller11 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Is it still the same sponsor? Also, I'm not imagining this am I? But what was the issue a few years back with the kit supplier falling out with the club cos Venkys had done something stupid... can't remember the details.

Tony Rover Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Far too steep. Will end up getting one for my boy though, might get lucky with an offer at Christmas. With this and the season ticket renewal in the post it does seem someone is on the ball within the club for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunnfc Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I don't wear football strips as that's not really my look but that's steep! I'd imagine it's a similar cost for children too? Would anyone pre order a shirt in this case without knowing what it looks like first? Seems a bit bizzare to me or is it the norm and in football?

I care Stuart, I will always care about Blackburn Rovers FC I have had a look at a few clubs in the same league. Portsmouth, Wigan, Scunthorpe, Southend, Bury and Oldham haven't got their shirts on sale yet Rochdale Home 2017/18 shirt is £40 https://www.rafctickets.co.uk/retail-department.aspx?deptId=8 Rotherham Home 2017/18 shirt is £39.99 https://www.rotherhamunitedshop.co.uk/retail-product-search.aspx Bradford City Home 2017/18 shirt is £36 http://bantams.clubstore.co.uk/home-replica 22 minutes ago, Miller11 said: Is it still the same sponsor?

I think it was 2 year deal with Dafabet I think Venkys were selling Rovers shirts made in India. This was the season when we went to Pune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted June 12, 2017 Moderation Lead Share Posted June 12, 2017 Ours is near enough £10 more than everyone else? Fantastic. If it's nice, I'll wait until it drops in price after Christmas. I'm sure they only used to be released every two seasons and not every season!

Yep relegation season, knocking out fakes with umbro crest on. Same time Jerome turned down a million pound a year shirt sponsor advising Venkys they could get four million a year and he'd find them. We went through that season with the Princees Trust on for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
