Much has been said in advance of the style, colour, cost and quality. (through FAB members, or those in the know)
But has anything been said about release dates?

It always seems strange how long it seems to get kits out now.
They have a very short shelf life so you’d think it would make business sense to get them available as early as possible.

Kits are designed for young people and yet they release them just as the 6 week school holidays are ending, surely sense would be to release them first week of July

I thought it was only a one year deal but we might be trying to get as much out of betting companies whilst we can before the shirt ban comes in 2026

Black away kits are becoming a ‘thing’ for us. Had quite a few since the first one in 2014.

I maybe wrong but if we've an all white away kit I can't see us wearing white shorts at home too unfortunately. White shorts and hooped socks should be on all our home kits

If they look decent the club would be best getting these out on sale ASAP to give the fans some good news/feel good factor after what was a torturous season.

My mate who's got a box at Castore has just sent me this prototype. Apparently Pace's daughter has had quite a lot of input in next season's design.

I reckon they'd sell a fair few of those shorts if they sold them as boxer shorts / PJ's
I actually thought you had it right about the colour of the away and third kit, Rileybobs. Unless things have changed. Maybe CT is more up to date.

Exclusive preview of kit prototypes, premium seats at the production facilities with meal/bar etc, the usual kind of stuff.

Delay is always related to sponsors for clubs like us, we need to maximise income hence shopping around for deals. Clubs who can release new kits before the end of the current season (like Arsenal for example) don’t have to change shirt sponsors every year

I remember when they’d parade the new shirt at the last home game of the season. I’m sure they’d even occasionally wear it for the last game too.

They could only do that if having the same supplier and sponsor

Of course it’s in our hands, it doesn’t suit the kit sponsor for them to be so late.

I think the last time we did that was at the end of 2010/11 season when we wore next season’s Puma home kit in a 1-1 draw with Cardiff. Fun88 stayed on as sponsor, so as been referred to, it was much easier to get the kits out.

I’m not “beating the club” but if you think the club isn’t responsible for finding a sponsor and getting the kit sorted in good time then you’re being incredibly generous to them.

Yes we had an all claret kit under Cotterill at home. I do like them as an alternative for an away game but just doesn’t sit well with me wearing it at home. Been too much chopping and changing of home shorts and socks in recent years.

The deal with Castore as a manufacturer was signed a long time ago.
The outreach for sponsorship across all team categories started at the start of the year. Expect the adults and kids sponsors to be different again.
