A new shirt for cup final?

Thu Feb 02, 2012 7:55 am

I've read that the club are bringing out a limited edition shirt for the cup final. If this is correct do you think it's going a bit far?

We have had 3 new shirts already this season. Now we got cup final tickets to pay for and the travel costs. A lot of us are going to try pay a few hundred for our season tickets for next year. And then they are gonna bring out a 4th shirt.

I know the club needs to make money but I think it's pushing it to much.

Also how much cost will the club incur to bring out a new shirt (design, production) and how many will they purchase? Will they all sell?

It's no suprise if the club do it and I'm sure they will make some profit from it!!

Nobody is being forced to buy it but I'm not a ST Holder so I buy a lot from the club shop and Missed out on a cup final shirt so I may well get one!

Is it going to far? No I don't think so!
It's what some fans want!!

If they do it'll be like the FA Cup limited edition shirt. A replica of the shirt worn on the day with "Carling Cup final 26/02/2012" on it and maybe a cup on there as well. I cant see a completely new kit being designed from scratch for it.
