This time last year there was already a marketing campaign in place and the new kit had been announced. not sure what is happening but it is looking touch and go if the kits will be out before Christmas which is usually the aim to maximize the sales

Someone on Wikipedia has put that our 2016 kits will be made by Surridge. Pinch of salt always required of course with the Wiki.

Pointless topic as clubs including Wigan do what they want to do in the way of marketing replica shirts, irrespective of what the fan's want or think.

When replica shirts were first produced, most only changed every time the main shirt sponsor changed, but now because of more advertisements on them, they change every season and you now pay a high price to be a walking advertisement for sponsors.

Like many others, enough is enough and I now wear a Cherry & White 't' shirt with badge, but without advertisements which still shows who I support but at the same time did not cost me anything like you pay for a replica shirt to be a walking advertisement.

Others, I have noticed have done likewise!
