£30 for kids shorts!!!
Thats a shame, usually catch one of the 9XL tops at the end of season sale to use for a shade awning in the garden.

I wonder if that could become the walk out tune or a snippet of it used for goal celebrations.
“On that, be interesting to see if Trivela really do see us as cash cows with the prices for the new kits.”
Put the above in the Errea thread a few days ago, I think we have a bit of an answer on that one now!
They must be uploading things in bits.
The junior 3rd kit is up.
They appear to have used a potato to photograph the training wear though….

The home kit is truly awful, just dreadful!!
The club needs to wake up and listen to the majority of the fanbase who want red and white colours, not black vertical stripes.
The third kit I really like, that should have been the home kit imho.
Would have been immense if they could include a replica shirt as part of the membership pack like I suggested last year.
Badges, Shirt, Unique member Scarf, Access to Locker, discount off season ticket, priority access to cup games if high demmand… Pissing off Gensanx…
They’ve said it’s inspired by the 94-95 kit…
If they’d actually kept it as white stripes and given it white shorts and red socks, it would have been better.

Very subjective though. Quick scout around various social platforms and general consensus is that the home seems popular and the third should be incinerated and all history of it’s existence deleted.

£45 for an infant kit and £40 for a baby kit is a rip off tbh
Alot of clubs are seeing a return to a retro style, we have probably done that based on the success of the retro shirt sales last year.
My earliest Walsall years saw us play in red with black, quite a lot, my first kit was the beaver one. It was never the design that got me it was the excitement of a gift from my Dad, I could wear during a kickabout with my mates and pledge my allegiance to the club in a weird abstract way.
I used to genuinely be excited to get off the bus and go down to the club shop in the old arcade and weigh up which one i wanted and saved chore money to buy. Based on the visceral reactions to these hopefully that magic isnt lost anymore.
Saying that those swift tops were quite dire from 08ish.

Incredible Kit launch Video, well done to the club for putting the effort in.
I really like the home kit, I started supporting Walsall in 98ish so my first kit was the Rambo red with the black collar and black stripe down the side so there’s a bit of nostalgia in this for me.
It is pricey but all football kits are now.

TBF new supplier we have no real relationship yet infant and baby kits will always be relatively expensive as so few are required, we will never sell loads
As for prices in general yep more expensive but not ridiculously imho and again no favours to call with new supplier. Compared to some championship clubs we can get a full kit for less than one of there shirts. But to be honest it’s not just the retail price it’s also a balance on what people can afford
I believe Morecambe did some kids kit deals and even give away to local schools in the past. Maybe something Ben might do here but too late for this season time will tell
Someone gets paid to come up with this rubbish. Who in their right mind would buy that?
It’s dead easy just ask the fans.
Market test first get feedback.
Amateur.

Unreal that is.We aren’t Real Madrid or Barcelona, definitely not read the room with those prices.
I agree, from utter disgust I’m not at, they’re ok I suppose.
I love both of them to be fair, the home is really different… and the Poundland logo is a reasonable width on these now after last years went around the armpits
