New home kit today

[Taffy on the wing]

Here we go

I just get a box with a ? .....no picture. I get that on the photos thread too, any idea how i can remedy it?

[ŽižkovClaret]

Right click and then click show image / show picture?

Don't mind the design, looks decent, but it's a gambling sponsor and a 20% price increase.

20%?

Shirts were released at £55 last season.

I' ve been getting the same issue recently - no idea what the problem is though

[Rowls]

Here we go

Anyone else got the urge to biro Luca's arm with "= VI" to complete his tattoo?

[burnmark]

Shirt is fine. No issues with the shirt sponsor although I always think the back of the shirt sponsors look naff regardless of who it is.

Wish they’d stop playing about with the home sick colour though. Either white or proper hoops.

[AGENT_CLARET]

So nobody should have a different opinion on anything? Would make for an interesting messageboard.

Moaning for the sake of it isn't a difference of opinion

[burnmark]

The print reminds me of these two recent-ish offerings:

[groove]

I think it's a decent Burnley kit, especially without sponsor. I can't help but chuckle at the marketing drivel on the official site though, about it being 'a homage to the famous Longside '.

[Clovius Boofus]

I like it, but they can shove the MASSIVE sponsorship logo. I'm not going to pay good money to look like a walking advert.

[claretronnie]

Using the all-claret crest on the home shirt without any fan input is appalling. The home shirt should NEVER have anything other than a full-colour traditional badge. **** about with it on away and third kits, but not the home. That's our heritage that.

[claretronnie]

Fixed it...

[fidelcastro]

Got 4 to buy eek

What do you mean "got?"

Just don't, and then if everyone follows suit, maybe they'll do something about prices in future.

They could buy one and everyone has it for one week a month

Once a season thing, kids all want one now they've seen it. Pricing ain't too bad.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Purple and Man City blue, wow

[Foulthrow]

Will the one without a sponsor still have Bristol Street Motors on the back?

[Vegas Claret]

I like it but I'm not too fussed, it's those that are wearing it that matter the most

[wilks_bfc]

I didn’t think the replica shirts had the sponsor on the back previously anyway

Do you not know how to say no to your kids?

I've always found it very easy.

[wilks_bfc]

Just seen the back of the shirt

How low are the names & numbers going to look with that sponsor being there?

Fixed it...

Yep! a simple claret trim on the sleeve makes the difference. Taking the yellow out of the Logo is a little better too.

[ClaretTony]

Have I got this right or is a kids shirt the same price as an adults.

Child £50
Adult £50 + £10 VAT.

If I’m right then kids shorts and socks are more expensive than the adults.

[RVclaret]

Looks great, particularly like the badge colourings, and the blue socks are cool.

[Rileybobs]

On hooped socks; I’ve got a feeling that they’re not allowed anymore. We know that opposing teams have to wear different coloured socks to help officials to identify each team easily and that players have to wear matching coloured tape. I suspect that there is a regulation that socks must be predominantly one colour, and to my knowledge this seems to be the case across other team’s kits. Unless someone knows otherwise?

The only stipulation is that the two teams require different coloured socks.

These are the prices they’ve said

[Boss Hogg]

I think West Ham had full hooped socks last season. As for the kit I like the look of it. Especially after last seasons awful kit. There’s no surprise that there is a sponsor or the price. I’ll wait for the sales as usual. Imagine buying 2 of them for £120.

[Rileybobs]

Is that for definite as no doubt there will be a whole load of guidelines for kits.

If the only requirement is that socks have to be a different colour then I can see why hoops are avoided anyway as two teams with hooped socks are likely to clash.

[Boss Hogg]

In fact £87 for full junior kit. £174 for two. I’m out.

[HahaYeah]

They did, it was the 'bubbles' kit.

[Roosterbooster]

I think you're right Tony

Taking VAT into account, not charged on clothing meant for 14yo or less

Adults vs Junior
Shirts £50 & £50
Shorts £22.40 & £24
Socks £12 & £13

And charging £50 for a baby kit that 100% doesn't include VAT is just bonkers

So I’m right, they are charging more for a child’s full kit than an adults. That’s shameful.

[123EasyasBFC]

One positive is that infant kits go up to 7-8 years, I think £50 for a full kit aged 7-8 is great value

I have bought the £50 and haven’t been charged VAT on top

[bobinho]

Fixed it...

Yes you have.

Can you fix the socks now please?

[ClaretTony]

I have bought the £50 and haven’t been charged VAT on top

VAT is 20% on adult clothing but is zero on kids clothing.

So if you buy a junior shirt at £50 you are paying the club £50 for it. If you buy an adult shirt at £60 you are paying the club £50 and paying £10 VAT.

[Roosterbooster]

I have bought the £50 and haven’t been charged VAT on top

Why would you be charged VAT on top?

The point is that the adult ones include VAT. So to work our what the actual price is, you need to take away 20% from the adult prices

[claret2018]

It’s fine.

The sponsor is too big but it somehow looks worse without it.

I won’t be buying as I’m a grown man etc etc

[Leisure]

I like it, but they can shove the MASSIVE sponsorship logo. I'm not going to pay good money to look like a walking advert.

You can buy it without the logo

[123EasyasBFC]

VAT is 20% on adult clothing but is zero on kids clothing.

So if you buy a junior shirt at £50 you are paying the club £50 for it. If you buy an adult shirt at £60 you are paying the club £50 and paying £10 VAT.

But it’s still more expensive for the adults than the juniors, for someone to buy

[123EasyasBFC]

The point is that the adult ones include VAT. So to work our what the actual price is, you need to take away 20% from the adult prices

But it’s still costing more, if I went to the club shop and bought an adult shirt or junior shirt, I would walk out £10 better off being the junior one

[HahaYeah]

It won't look right without the logo because the badges are so far up the shirt.

[ClaretTony]

But it’s still more expensive for the adults than the juniors, for someone to buy

But the club are charging the same price for both shirts, even worse with socks and shorts, they are charging more for the kids.

[Taffy on the wing]

OK thank you.

Was it last season that West Ham had hooped socks?

Sorry, just read through the rest of the thread

[Oshkoshclaret]

Am I the only one that's seeing rude words in the 'abstract typographic print'?

[Coeus]

It’s not bad at all, especially without sponsor option. The only caveat is that I would like to see the claret a tad further over the shoulder. Any advantage on incorrect handball decisions is always a positive?

[GetIntoEm]

I've always found it very easy.

Yeah but why would I?
