Good stuff, makes sense.up_the_line":1sjirf6f said:
...all I would observe is whilst it's CALLED a pre-order at HP, there's no team of minions at Puma busying themselves to get your shirt over to Blighty. Any "pre-order" made now is just going to be one less on the shelf for the 'footfall' to buy.
You've 'looked after yourself' and I don't blame you for doing so, it's exactly what I did in May. However if lots of people did this (ie. after the inital order went in and was turned round, as it has been now) it won't help Argyle maximise profit from that initial order, they'll just run out quicker.
I'm still pondering whether to buy the white top now or wait until hopefully someone in my family buys it for my birthday.
The white kit looks great. The green looks fine but not quite as stylish. Maybe that's due to the retro element.

Barnsley's kits are Puma as well and they've sold out a couple of times already apparently, but they also said they needed to give the initial numbers nearly a year ago, so it might not make that much difference at all.X Isle":3evknmhi said:
That'd be the contractural minimum guaranteed order, probably agreed longer ago than a year in our case as we're in year 3 of our hancuffs Puma contract.
Pre-orders provide the club with a heads up on demand so they can increase that minimum order to meet increased demand. The lower the pre-orders we made then the closer to the minimum order it'll be. The higher the pre-orders we made the larger the order Argyle would've put in ABOVE the guaranteed minimum.
If there wasn't a big uplift in usual pre-order numbers (which would've been pretty low given the gash change kits Puma have provided recently) then there will be a lot of people on waiting lists, possibly before the season even kicks off.
All entirely preventable, if you wanted one, you should've pre-ordered one.

Slightly off topic and apologies if mentioned elsewhere, but in The 'Erald there is an article about Plymouth Parkway's new kit. Not only does it look pretty good, but it was designed and manufactured by Plymouth company Swaz.
Food for thought when the Puma contract runs out?

Maybe something to do with all the other parts of the kit we require, like training tops for example, as to why we need a "brand name" to manufacture the complete lot.
The quality of materials which these companies use to for professional athletes might be another reason. Or maybe just the mass amount of kits we require on order, at a given time.
I'm guessing we signed up to a contract which a local company just cant compete with financially.

Slightly different angle, just wondering if anyone knows which colour keepers top is likely to be the main home kit this season? Have seen a white and a black mock up, but don't know which is the home one.
