As many of you will have seen there was a thread this afternoon which showed an image of the new Stoke away kit for next season.
It was an error by the club that saw it revealed on Stoke City World and they have contacted us and asked us to remove it, as a personal favour to the club. The launch of a new kit has big implications for the club, including financial ones, and therefore we agreed to do as they requested. It's our club, we're not at war with them and, provided the fans aren't getting the rough end of a shitty stick, then we'll always do what we can to help them wherever we can.
I know some people won't agree with that and they are entitled to their opinion.
I'm sure there are enough people who have copied the errant image to pass around and help satisfy the cravings of those who can't possibly wait for the official launch!
Thanks.

I disagree that its a good decision, and could post it elsewhere , but won't . As i suspect its all over facebook already.
I think that slightly out of the loop as to why its been taken down to be honest, unless it has something to do with that Peter Potter Blog think that says we still have a deal with Le Coq Sportif, and have signed up to Addidas.
This stinks of Tony Scholes style incompetance

I like a sponsors logo that look better quality than the one on the worst quality logo ever, the 2003/4 season away , dark blue, with light blue side panels .... sadly this latest effort seemed right out of that era

Although the decision to remove is a very laudible one I don't really see why an independent site should believe it has to do it - and then issue a statement in defence.
Should not this site's first priority be to its customers?
If some buffoon at the club has accidentally put an image of the new kit on their own website prematurely, and it has been picked up by other media, then that really is tough cheese on them.
They should not go begging to other independent agencies to help them clear up their mess.
If they employed competent staff this would not have happened.

Has it been an error or have pre-sales not gone as well as hoped? Although we all love Stoke it seems a bit weird to expect people to order without seeing the goods first, it wouldn't happen in any other business without some sort of preview. A little sneak preview will no doubt do sales the power of good as it does look a very smart top. Or am I just a cynical bastard?
