Shirt Launch : Thu Nov 09, 2017 12:29 pm  

I don't know if ive missed it but usually the shirt is launched at the Christmas light switch which is tonight, ive not seen anything from the club or had a text from Richie, does anybody know when we might see it?

Christmas light switch on is tomorrow night.

I thought so too.
Had me confused then, cos Justin is on early weekday mornings!

WARRINGTON CHRISTMAS LIGHTS SWITCH ON Old Fish Market, November 10, from 6pm

CBeebies star Justin ‘Mr Tumble’ Fletcher will be switching on the lights and will be joined by Dick and Dom. Warrington Wolves players, panto stars from Parr Hall’s Jack and the Bean Stalk and Father Christmas will also be joining in the fun.

Tomorrow night then. No mention of the kit launch however. Is the sponsorship still up in the air and maybe it’s that holding the kit release up?

Yes, it did feel like that at times in 2017....

Seriously though, you can't launch a shirt until you've secured a sponsor so I would imagine everything is going to happen quite late this off-season. Late appointment of coach = late recruitment of players = struggle to get the best sponsorship deal = late launch of shirts = less chance to catch pre-christmas sales bonanza.

Still, it's a whole new era so let's give it a chance.

Warrington players will be making guest appearances at tomorrow nights switch on. I can't think of any other reason for players to be there other than to show something new off. I think after the past couple of years with the kits being leaked online that the club has sorted itself out and kept hush hush.

I would be surprised to see the new kit unveiled tomorrow in front of few thousand potential new fans along with the announcement of Emirates staying on as our main sponsor.

I'd be very surprised to see the shirt unveiled tomorrow. Previous years they've at least teased it and announced a date. It's a bit bizarre really, remember a few years back when they changed the badge but had already ordered the kit with the old badge on? Based on that I'd say the sponsor isn't in place yet.
