Think the difference was where the stock is. I saw a Rugby club say all their stuff was stuck too. Something bears maybe?
not sure anyone else is doing much. Everton deal direct with Hummel not Elite Sports so doesn't impact them. A couple of clubs, such as Southampton, seem to have managed to get the administrator to release existing stock and a couple of others, such as Oldham have open cash only club shops with fuck all stock
my biggest criticism at the moment would be how have other clubs managed to speak to the administrator and get stock released and we haven't. could be that they've had to make a payment to the administrator and we can't / won't do that while in the middle of a takeover. or could just be our usual level of incompetence
Shame! Massive blow to the club financially cause if we go back to boring Nike template kits they won’t sell half as manyAnd speaking exclusively to CoventryLive, City’s chief executive Dave Boddy confirmed: “It’s unlikely that we will be able to continue to wear the Hummel brand beyond this season.
“We are very disappointed because they have been a massive selling point for us, the Hummel look, the chevrons and everything.
“We are really disappointed with the turn of events. Our retail operation since linking with the Hummel brand has increased beyond our wildest dreams. Our net income has gone up four fold. The club and Hummel have grown the brand together and we’re hugely disappointed that the partnership is to end.
wonder how the figures stack up for getting them made themselves. there's fans who knock up great designs and there's companies that print the shirts. although with our level of organisation that might be a disaster waiting to happen.Shame! Massive blow to the club financially cause if we go back to boring Nike template kits they won’t sell half as many
On a selfish note, I hadn’t brought any of this seasons shirts for my collection (I usually wait till they go on sale at the end of the season cause I only really doss about the house in them) and now looks like I won’t be able too

I don't think Prior to Elite Sports Hummel had much interest in the UK, they weren't around for years were they? I guess what is big sales for us is pretty insignificant for them and unless someone wants to pick up the license, which presumably Hummel charge a decent fee for, they'll just disappear againI meant more the “no more Hummel” stuff than the ongoing issues with supply this season.
Do pony still existTime to get in touch with these Boddy, make it happen
Not in this specific kit supplier threadWe have more to worry about then the kit supplier.
What an absolute fucking shitshow.
So presumably then when the players need new kit, which they will on a reasonably regular basis, what happens then?
Presumably clubs like Cambridge and at Albans city who have Hummel kits don’t appear to use elite sports as their shops are still alright? And Northampton have managed to reach agreement with admins.
There would surely be alternatives?
I wouldn’t mind asking what the fuck Boddy and that do after what’s gone on this season, Jesus Christ.
you'd assume someone will end up with ownership of the existing stock from the administrator and they will sell it offI want the away kit, will I get a chance to get this one now?

Another annoying thing is I would happily fire out personalised CCFC gifts but not allowed to.
There used to be that page on ebay and online that sold really good retro remake Cov stuff, but think the club shut it down as well?
Yeah it's understandable. Can't just whack loads of stuff out with it on.
Said this before but the club should licence a few local crafty types (and Nick) to make some unique products sold or promoted through their store. Would beat half the tat they do have on sale.
No idea how it works, whether people pay them a lump sum to use it or they give them a %.
Up to the club I’d guess. But I’d much rather buy something like the badly drawn panini stuff as a present than mass marketed plastic tat.
Agree. The club is run like an absolute joke.I’d say we’re run like a League Two club off the pitch but there are National League clubs dealing with this situation better than we are so might be a bit generous. What an embarrassing week.
Oh, this is just the latest in the tsunami of shit this season has thrown at us from the very start.Well, it's been a great week so far hasn't it. Stadium malarkey, the ongoing takeover or not saga, now this.
Personally, I'd say they've been our best kit supplier in what feels like forever. I liked the fact we had our own kits and not some prefabricated template. Felt like we'd managed to get back to having a sense of identity a d individuality, rather than just another bland template club.
Oh well. At least the week's halfway done.
Think it's mostly down to the owners being unwilling to fund proper infrastructure as well as appointing no marks like Boddy into key positions.Agree. The club is run like an absolute joke.
