n i k o Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Ok thanks Dylan. I figured there might be some differences between nike jerseys Aaron, but I'll head there and give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raw10 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Â Does anyone know if there are any tops similar to the home jersey that can be tried on for fit? I want to make sure I get the right size first time. When I contacted the club they said I could come in and try it on there but they charge an extra $40 for players names and numbers on the shirt, so I'd rather buy it off nike. maybe a nike jersey from rebel? Â Agree.. When I spoke to Rebel Sport asking them whether they are going to bring in the MCFC jersey, they suggested the same thing.. try one of the nike jerseys as apparently they are the same...

heartrate Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Their reluctance to sell the Away kit just makes it so obvious how much they are trying to rid of the red and white from the crowd. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StringerBell Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 I tried on the new Man City away shirt at Rebel to get an idea of size. Â A medium in that was more or less identical to the medium Melbourne City shirt I received a few days later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bt50 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Their reluctance to sell the Away kit just makes it so obvious how much they are trying to rid of the red and white from the crowd. I disagree with the premise that they are deliberately holding the away kit back. I think there are clear production issues with Nike and when forced to choose, of course they will want the home kit out first. Even the home kit is very limited in stock at present.

When all the changes were announced along with David Villa, he was wearing a t-shirt with the logo and holding the away kit. So I still think the red and white stripes was always intended to be an away kit, since you would think if they had the home kit sorted he would have been holding that one in the photo instead.   But agreed that they arnt deliberatly holding back the away kit because its red and white. Man City staggered the release of the home and away kit so its probably just normal for CFG.  Anywho I hope the home white with sky blue as a secondary continues.

Â Â Just my opinion, but even though its great to have this man playing for us, it is only just for 10 games. Â Would prefer to get someone who will be there either for the full season or someone who has been around for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I still think the red and white stripes was always intended to be an away kit, since you would think if they had the home kit sorted he would have been holding that one in the photo instead. My thinking too. I originally also felt the red and white away was a second thought but when it came to the rebrand/villa announcement the away jersey was the only option to give villa because of the FFA situation on the home kit. It took the club another 3 months to finally get Villa pictured in the eventual home kit (Which he looks very very nice in btw), which if it was the original away kit option, it wouldn't have taken so long. Holding the away kit back to get more of the home kit out there, also giving away the free customisation through nike. Makes sense. They want to get as much of the new stuff out there. My guess away kit won't be available until days before the opening home game or after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red or Dead Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 My birthday's next week and my wife asked if I wanted the new home kit for my birthday but I told her I'd rather wait for the Away tops to come out in December and you can get the away top for me for Christmas. So now the wait for December begins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biancorosso7 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Here's a rundown:  1. The club only sells what Nike give them. They will do names/personalisation for $40 extra. They have to charge so that they can cover the cost and they understand Nike are making a loss by not charging for personalisation. At this stage, they have been told by Nike that at best, the next batch/order will be coming in December 2014. But they said that Nike's issues in producing kits has stemmed from the FFA's issue and delay in approving the new kit and badge. They also said that as a Club, they are considered a priority seller and will get more merch before Rebel and other sports stores, and will get it before them if there is a limited delivery. The Club has asked about kids kit, but have been told nothing and they seem annoyed, because of demand. Nike have made some replica item, but is in no way the actual kit, and the Club don't really like it. The Club's position was buy before they run out.  2. Nike have run out of anything above XL. They said that they thought they would have new stuff by January 2015, but were hoping for more sooner. The personalisation will continue on to next year. The next order they anticipate receiving is Away Kits. If more home kits trickle through, they will be added to inventory as they arrive. But if they sell out now, they will, in essence, have nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belaguttman Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Remember season 1 when Reebok didn't have any jerseys until the season was virtually over? We are a small club, the jersey's have been decided fairly late, the home jersey is based on an existing design and so is easier to produce in bulk. It's only costing Nike and the club sales without an away jersey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
