These knock-offs have been doing the rounds for a while, but as-yet we’ve nothing to go on as to how accurate they are. My gut feeling is that knock-off manufacturers don’t speculate on designs, so it’s likely they’re not far off, but we shall see.

There is no delay. We have a month until the season starts.
Everybody is creating a delay in their own mind

If it’s not a delay how come we haven’t had a launch date? Because if it’s not a delay then they should know this shouldn’t they?

The first competitive game is the EFL Cup 1st round on 6th September, just under 3 weeks time. Fans always panic about new kits, usually from the day after the last season has ended. Coventry are not alone in releasing late. Other Clubs have been releasing this week, although Coventry do seem to be one of the last. As fans can’t attend games until October there is plenty of time to get orders in and despatch before then, if the release in the next 10 days. Then the ‘panic’ for those fans will be over and they can sit comfortably in their new tops and soiled underpants on their sofas with a crate of beer and a tube of Pringles ready to watch or listen to the first game live on iFollow.

Technically you proved the point yourself there.
Something can't really be delayed if it didn't have a release date to begin with.

I guess it's more about getting revenue to the club as soon as possible though...surely they would want the money from sales into their bank accounts ASAP, especially with the way of the world at the moment?
Don't disagree with anything you've said btw.

Just purely out of interest, how many other clubs have yet to release theirs at this point?

If i was cov id tease it out all week, they know we want it, the amount of views theyd get per post about a shirt/sponsor would be banannas

I don’t know, but would guess very few. I believe all the Premiership clubs have released theirs but not sure about all EFL clubs.

Leeds and Fulham haven't put theirs out yet in the Prem. Looks like Blackburn, Brentford, Bristol City, Cardiff, Preston, QPR, Swansea and Wycombe all yet to release in the Champ.

I think they'll make a big thing about announcing the new sponsor first, then they'll announce a reveal date, then they will milk and build the hype – it might last all week!!
A week of comms planned for a Friday release? or some sort of virtual Robins/Kit event?

I think Leeds have just a few days ago, they're rocking Adidas this season.
There are a few stinkers around this season just in my opinion, especially that Man City home shirt. If you want to buy one of theirs in Ireland they are charging €120 each for the 'authentic' shirt, €140 if you want the 'UEFA branded' one, or €90 if you just want a plain replica, thats just bonkers. I just looked at what you get for that money and its a couple less inches around the gut, 'breathable technology', badge pressed on differently and so on, good stuff I guess but thats silly money

What is this bull crap 'Authentic' thing vs 'Replica' – why can't they just be the same as the players shirt? What a ripper!

Thats what I was just looking at https://www.soccer.com/guide/authentic-vs-replica-do-you-know-the-difference
Enormous ripoff, but I guess thats the Premier League for you, everything designed to extract as much cash as possible in every possible way.

A delay is when you have a date and then the kit cannot be released on that date for whatever reason.
Not giving fans a launch date is not a delay.
My feel, along with others is a change in shirt sponsorship is the reason we have yet to hear anything, but again this is not a delay.

Leeds’ kit leaked weeks ago, so whilst it's not been announced, its design is out there if you know where to look.

A delay is when something happens later than you planned, regardless of whether or not other people knew what you planned. We’re all speculating obviously, but this is definitely running pretty close to the wire in terms of the new season. I can’t imagine they planned to have it go down to the wire though.

Like ours, the designs will have been signed off months ago.
