I see Derby County have just released a 3rd kit today.
But I agree, its ridiculous considering it will only be used up until May....which each passing day its use devalues.
Takes me back to my 'new kit every season' gripe - whilst I openly admit to loving a kit release as much as the next kit-obsessed man, having a new set of kits EVERY year gets my goat.
How about once every two years, or use last seasons away as a 3rd or vice versa....for pretty much the first time in my life I thought "fair play" to the Arse as they have not changed their home kit this season.
A new set of 3 every year just reeks too much of desperation to get as much pennies as possible.
But having said all that I can't wait to see the new 3rd kit!!!
Under Armour would never allow such a thing, as this is their first dip into European sport and they're payin the big bucks to do it. And while I think your intentions are noble, the bright side is that there is almost never a unanimously positive response to any given kit. So in the assurance there will be a new one next year, those people can rest easier. For me personally, while our gear this year has grown on me (except the lime green), I'd be curious to see if HP renews their deal with us considering Bale is now gone and NBC is likely to choose a new player/squad to heavily promote. So while I'm happy to have this year's home and anxiously await the release of the third, I feed right into the marketing ploy by being even more excited to see what will happen next year.
