Port Vale FC the exception as more than half of Football League clubs suffer kit supply delays
A report from the BBC says that less than half the clubs in the Football League have both their new home and away kits available to buy online ahead of the season.
The Valiants have held two weekend kit launches for their home and away kits, which are also available to purchase in the online shop.
There were some grumblings when the away kit launch only took place a week before the season starts – but it now looks like Vale’s situation is far better than most clubs.
According to the BBC:
Only 44 out of 92 clubs currently have both their 2022-23 season kits on sale.
Some have blamed the delays on disruption and factory shutdowns in Asia due to Covid.
It means some clubs won’t have their new kit on sale before the season starts, which for the Championship is 29 July, for League One and League Two is 30 July and for the Premier League is 5 August.
Out of the 92 clubs in the top four leagues:
- 44 teams have both kits available for sale on their website
- 22 teams have only their home kit available
- 7 teams have only their away kit available
- 19 teams have neither kit available
