The club really do miss a trick by not getting next seasons kit on sale earlier. I think the new Aberdeen kit is available now and the team will be wearing it in at the next game! I am at an age where I no longer buy football tops (apart from the odd retro one), so the release date doesn’t effect me. However, kids will want to buy and wear it at the start of the summer and within reason the club should aim for the earliest possible date. Who makes the majority of the money on replica shirt sales? Is it the club, or Provan Sports? If so, how much do Provan pay Motherwell for the contract to sell our merchandise? I think they do a great job, however, every penny is a prisoner in these cash strapped times.
