Yeah it's good considering the blue on the top doesn't match the blue on the sock, I take it that's how it was in 87 too? Probably not

It does look good, but haven't CCFC been there before?

Don't you all think that it's a bit weird that fans are planning to boycott a game so the club are wearing a shirt that they will probably only ever wear once. SISU will lose nothing from this game with the additional sales of this shirt.

I hope the club don't make a knee jerk decision and have this as next seasons kit because it's not nice, especially with the awful neck

this seasons shorts are sky blue and this seasons socks have a navy and white top to them

That makes it even worse. So they've pulled some random socks and thought "these will do".

Always quick to moan about stuff aren't we. Its a nice touch and it recognises what a great achievement we made 25 years ago. Im certainley not going to get my knickers in the twist over a pair of socks or our owners (if there are any) alterior motives for releasing it.

This will have nothing to do with the ownership of the club.
People need to remember that operationally, most of the things that happen at the club are influenced in no way by SISU. This will have been planned a while ago as part of the 25th anniversary of winning the cup.
We can't keep linking the two together all the time

Does seem strange the late marketing of it though? I know they only have a limited amount that will probably sell out regardless but with a bit of advanced marketing and building it up as the "25th anniversary" then they probably could have sold a shed load more.

and here's the problem, if it's been planned why the hell would you not have them on sale for Xmas? You'd have to be an absolute idiot to wait until a week after Xmas to announce it and then only have it on sale for 48 hours before what is likley to be the only game we wear it in. Does make it seem like it's all been rushed.
they also were out of stock of a lot of items in the shop running up to Xmas, everything about the club is so badly run its unbelivable.

That's my point they have not let us know in advance and released it 3 days before the game. Think about the marketing that went into this seasons strip.

Yeah thats a fair point. I'd like to know why they haven't marketed the hell out of it. I hope there is some magical marketing reason for doing it and its not just down to incompetence

They spent all the marketing budget on the window display and the never ending countdown on the launch of the main home kit.
Its good that the badge is the 87 style. How many incarnations have there been of our badge with all the varied colours etc.

I wonder if we can get numbers on the back in the same style as the 87 Cup Final? Or maybe a different style to suit the kit.
Which player from the 87 Cup Final would you get on the back of your shirt if you could?
Got to be Dave Bennett for me. Magic feet!

Yep, red numbers are available, £3.75 ea. You can't order them online though. I got number 10 on mine so I can practice my diving headers in the back garden more authentically.

I can't believe no one has mentioned how unhappy the players look in the original photo taken. Only McSheffrey musters anything resembling a cracked smile!
