£22 kids and £27 adults with £5 from every shirt sold to Ty Hafan.

The trust literally won't make a penny from the sale of these shirts.

So which one has won? :ole: :bluescarf: :thumbleft:

Can't wait to get whichever one wins (although I'm rooting for number 3). Will they be available in kids sizes? My 9 year old daughter wants on too :ayatollah:

Hi Lee,

Yes, they'll be available in kids sizes.

The kids are the next generation of City fans and it's important, imo, that they are taught the importance of the blue and bluebird to the history of not only the club but the history of Cardiff as a City over the last hundred years.

I quite like the bottom right option.

Should put them all on sale. Would sell more then as the fans would get a preference.

I'm sure most fans will buy it whatever one wins (I know I will!) and it'll show more of a statement if everyone has the same one, far more noticeable (and cost effective I'd imagine)

It'd be great in theory to be able to produce and sell all four shirts but it would delay everything considerably and bump up the costs. We want the supporters to have these for the summer holidays. :D

Kukri have already cut us a great deal as they love the idea of the alternative shirt (their MD is a Cardiffian and bluebird...) and it's a great cause. They will gain more from a PR perspective than financially.

I had the last batch of prototypes delivered tonight and they look great. All four designs are fantastic 'in the flesh.' :thumbup:

We took the decision, in consultation with the Ty Hafan chairman, to just put their logo on the sleeve as opposed to the chest as it's more subtle and keeps the main body of the shirt traditional and clear of other messages. I also gained agreement from Kukri that their logo will only be subtly placed on the rear neck of the shirt and not on the chest for the same reasons.

First priority is to get the shirt out. After that, if there is demand for shorts and socks for kids, who knows. :thumbup:
