New one-off striped kit for the play-off final (1 Viewer)

[EalingSB]

Just received this press release from the EFL:

Coventry City will wear a one-off strip for the upcoming League Two Play-Off Final fixture against Exeter City, having exhausted their supply of existing kit for the 2017/18 season.


With this season’s kit no longer available, the Club will wear an alternative strip in their traditional colours at Wembley on Monday 28 May.


Dave Boddy, Coventry City Chief Executive, said: “Having been unable to obtain new replacements of the existing kit, we have had to source a one-off shirt from our kit supplier for the Play-Off Final.


“The striped kit is one with much history, especially at Wembley, for the Sky Blues and we hope it will prove popular with supporters.”

You off to Switzerland mate?

 

[CovisGod]

Is it not last seasons shirt ?

 

[wal3590]

Have a nice flight mate :stop:

 

[skybluesam66]

[CovisGod]

[Mcbean]

I like it - hopefully its as missized as the 87 final shirts

 

[EalingSB]

Sorry! Pasted the wrong thing obviously. Thanks CovisGod for the correct picture...

 

[fernandopartridge]

Hopefully wear navy shorts with it

 

[ajsccfc]

What a cash-in.

 

[jordan210]

How do we normally do when we ware a one of kit.

Brown kit. That white England kit, the FA cup rep shirt ?

Not sure if I like us changing kit

 

[torchomatic]

I hate stripes.

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Stinks of bullshit this, just a money making scheme by the club, very small time. How is it even possible that we've run out of kits/Nike can't make us another set of this years?

 

[Nick]

Do they wear a brand new kit every game?

People don't have to buy that kit, isn't it just last seasons?

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

What a cash-in.

you have the option not to purchase.

 

[hill83]

money making scheme by the club

Oh no

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

All a bit odd - but I don't care if they wear Sky Blue pyjamas and play in clogs as long as we win.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Oh no

Still waiting for a reply to 'My Big question for Monday' thread - or is it a 'no comment' (which would be somewhat unlike you!)

 

[Sbarcher]

Ran out of kit supplies? Sounds more like a Sunday league set up to allow that to happen!

 

[Otis]

Whoohooooo hoooooooooo!!!


I love stripes!!!!

 

[ajsccfc]

you have the option not to purchase.

I didn't say it was a bad thing.

 

[KarmicChris]

This will probably be next seasons kit and they’ve had to bring it forward for next week, fans who’s got this seasons home kit should be offered a discount, they were bought for the season and this is the biggest game of said season!

 

[hill83]

I reckon we all boycott Wembley now

Boddy's confirmed it's a one-off later in the article NEWS: Coventry City to wear one-off special shirt for the Play-Off Final
“This will not be the kit for the 2018/19 season, so we hope it will be a very unique shirt for the club and fans.”

 

[SKYBLUES90]

Who washed the kits over the weekend and forgot to bring a couple back to training during the week?

 

[jordan210]

Iv had a quick look.

Brown Kit we lost in.

White kit we drew in.


But its Wembley and we have a good record in stripes

Also I quite like the kit.

 

[oucho]

I think it's a good idea - even if the season's kit hadn't run out, a nice "commemorative for the final" kit is a nice thing.

 

[covcity4life]

silly decision for a quite weird excuse

keep the kit that got us there and that people like me paid for

that said at least its a nice kit with plenty of sky blue

 

[Liquid Gold]

It makes sense from a revenue perspective but I prefer the real kit to be honest. Any chance of a kit clash as Exeter play in white stripes too?

 

[ajsccfc]

They originally considered sending Tom Davies over to Syria to get a load of the old kit back now he's got a bit of spare time.

Did wonder that, it's not too different with so much white is it?

 

[Tommo72]

I think it looks excellent. Kit collectors will love it no doubt and it will sell.

 

[Nick]

Just wanted to check, do you have to buy this to be able to watch the match and will anything bad happen to you if you don't buy it?

 

[Otis]

Thing is, if we lose on Monday no-one is going to want that kit.

Win and we will sell them like hotcakes.

Yep. You get to sit next to me on the train.
