Nolan Posted June 19 Posted June 19 (edited) I would be surprised if its today. P & O Cruises parent company (Carnival) is based in the US and its a national holiday (Juneteenth) in the US today. Tomorrow would make more sense. P & O's Flagship Britannia is in, so are the Queen Anne and Queen Mary 2 (both Cunard, but still part of Carnival). Edited June 19 by Nolan 1

Nolan Posted June 19 Posted June 19 to be fair to the original person they just could have misunderstood. "the club is gearing up for the new kit launch tomorrow, alongside the training kit stocked too" "tomorrow" maybe is referring to "gearing up for the new Kit Launch", rather than the actual date of the launch You could well spend a day prepping for the shop to ready for a Friday launch.
Pamplemousse Posted June 19 Posted June 19 If the shop opens at 12pm then maybe they're launching it exactly then. F5 at the ready

Or does this mean that you are in some sort of queue, wherby once it has been fully released, you will get yours before others.

HarvSFC Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Last year's kit launch was in mid-July when all the players were back from holiday, it was an evening event and the announcement of Flynn Downes came with it. Are we expecting a more low-key launch this year?

WinglessWonder Posted June 19 Posted June 19 My shirt from DHGate is due to arrive on July 5th, at this stage I'm wondering if it will arrive before the official release.... 🤔

They're not fake ones, they're sent direct from the manufacturer (well via falling off the back of a lorry in China I'm sure). They'll have been in production for a while now.
goodymatt Posted June 20 Posted June 20 Wonder if we have to wait until July to release the kits due to the sponsor change?
vectraman Posted June 20 Posted June 20 11 hours ago, Lighthouse said: I’d say it looks like it was made from Ukrainian curtains, personally. Apparently the weird pattern is lifted from a Huntley and Palmers biscuit tin - why Reading are the biscuit men, used to make biscuits there! 1
Willo of Whiteley Posted June 20 Posted June 20 I see all the ITK’s on social media have deleted the “the kits being released today” posts 😂

Midfield_General Posted June 20 Posted June 20 (edited) If that is actually it, it’s so weird how the front and the sleeves look like they’re from two different kits and aren’t even the same shade of red. Mental. So near yet so far. Edited June 20 by Midfield_General 3

Nolan Posted June 21 Posted June 21 China make facsimiles of what they think the kit is. They just make assumptions based on what they know of puma kits and the 'leak'. I would also be surprised if it's sold without a logo in the UK so as it stands it will be pretty easy to spot those buying from bootleggers.
Willo of Whiteley Posted June 21 Posted June 21 I’m sure from previous years that which is seen on Far Eastern websites isn’t far from the finished product.

Those sites often don’t show the logo in their photos of the kit. I haven’t bought a kit for years now but used to get one or two every year for playing 5 a side. The quality and likeness to the actual kits was absolutely spot on every time.
Paul Chuckle Posted June 21 Posted June 21 https://m.bestzv1.com/2025-26-Southampton-Home-Fans-Soccer-Jersey-p28204429.html Another site selling the new shirt. I find the Chinese knock off sites usually pretty spot on. They had a lot of the big clubs new shirts months ago. The only thing if anything that can be wrong is sleeve and main sponsors if they change before the shirts is officially released.
Nolan Posted June 21 Posted June 21 Well at least the red stripes may cover your nips. Judging from the fact the label is quite obvious, this material is really poor.
Willo of Whiteley Posted June 21 Posted June 21 I actually don’t think Reading’s kit is the worst in the world. I’d rather have that in vertical stripes than the rubbish being rumoured. I thought Palace’s kit from last season was smart. That in red and white would be pretty good.

All down to personal taste, and I’m more of a traditionalist, and don’t like seeing what I regard as psychedelic patterns ( Reading this season, or out hideous 2022/3 away kit for example). Palace’s fell into that category. But credit where it’s due, even with that design, Palace still retained stripes on the back. Why we can’t is beyond me. Edited June 21 by Badger 1
