Blackburn Rovers fans will be able to snap up the club's exciting new 08/09 away shirt next week. The away kit will be in stock at the Roverstore from 9 o'clock on Thursday (July 24th).
The launch was initially delayed last weekend due to a manufacturing problem involving kit supplier Umbro, but Rovers have succeeded in getting a new date in double quick time.
"We have worked hard, in conjunction with Umbro, to get this new date which can only be good news for everyone concerned," said Simon Williams, head of commercial and marketing at Ewood Park.
"We are very confident that the away shirt will prove a big hit with our supporters and it also provides an early opportunity for people to use the new Points Card* against their purchases.
"The launch of the new home shirt remains on course for mid-August and we will keep everyone informed whenever definite arrangements are agreed."
Rovers first team stars, currently away on a pre-season training camp in Germany, will be in attendance at the home kit launch.
This same "circumstance beyond their control" over the launch of the kit happened to everton aswell. And maybe rovers expect the blues to play in their away kit at Goodison?
It's a shame, and annoying, that Nike, Adidas and Umbro have all made proper S#!T kits this last year, including all these new ones, especially Umbro these last couple of years, nothing has really changed and it's annoying because I am sad and really into my kits lol! All a load od S#!T!!
i agree with u dan
the kits are a heap of turd this year lol
the only nice nike kit was hollands with the flag on the collar part i thought that looked mint!!!
i lyked the euro 2004 designes the best i must admit
yh it probs wont clash with the everton kit coz everton wear white socks and shorts whereas this strip is all dark blue
everton also has a lighter shade of blue
umbro kits are rubbish, have been for 10 years.
The fact that England still have umbro means i will not buy their shirt- i will certainly not get this- nothing shirt for a nothing club
Having two stripes down the middle, it reminds me of the white Chelsea away from a few years back.
PS. Anyone seen the new Shrewsbury Town kits?

Not exactly the worst kits in Div 4 this year
not bad
but we havnt had a decent kit maker in years
or it would be nice to have a kit that isnt a template that they just change colours for every umbro team
I love this shirt
but i have a feelinī they made it so they have to use red and black halves next season cos all the fans loved it
which i think is a good thing cos i loved that shirt!
Great shirt, really nice design. Shame about the size of the sponsor, it's ironic that Crown Paints, who's purpose is to decroate, have managed take the gloss off this good looking kit
