To rehash a previous theme. My shirt bought and returned via the club due to size issue. Still awaiting replacement. Anyone know when these are likely to arrive?

I got mine direct from BLK was 2 sizes too small emailed the company just before Xmas no reply from them rang them last week they said just send it bk and we'll refund you. I asked them to just send a xxl shirt out they said they don't do that and I would have to re-order another one.  Hard to do that if there's none to order online.

A huge learning curve, hopefully this deal with Bloody Lousy Kit is only a 1 year deal and the club will revert to a better supplier, this one appears to be a total shambles.

Just cause you don't understand what's going on don't mean it don't make no sense
And just cause you don't like it, don't mean it ain't no good

Whoever sorted the deal out with BLK surely asked the other clubs that are with them about the quality, sizing and delivery times ect.

Dont get me wrong about the quality which is top notch. Normally theres players tops which are tight and stretchy and replica tops for fans which are usually different material and larger sizes . These shirts are player type ones . Usually I get into large tops but couple if years back I got a players shirt with  16 Holliday on the back which needed to be xxl.

Is it not that the players get tight fit and supporters sizing is regular fit, most company's just supply regular fit tops to supporters, and lets not forget the majority of  use different factory's in China/Pakistan except for O'Neil's  who manufacture the kits and merchandise  in house.

yeah your right but in the past if you wanted players type shirts one of the lads could sort them for you these ones are definetly player style ones and are high quality material just caught a lot of fans off guard with the fitting.

People were told about the fitting.  The club can't win.

I’m normally and always have been a medium but hearing the sizes were small I ordered a large, even that’s snug

Was definitely said plenty of times before ordering on social media and I think here about it.  The CL b have got a good deal by a company who does shirts for loads of clubs.  So I don't see how it's the clubs fault.

Anyone any idea while there are only Kids Shirts available, seems strange there is no the gear available to buy.

Email them or phone direct I returned my large shirt on Wednesday and they sent me a xxl one already so they must have shirts in stock.  Saying that be easier buying one off the market stall or at the ground if there's still some left.
