Town’s entire stock of 2000 black third kits have sold out within hours of them going on sale this morning.

The shirts went on sale this morning at 8am from the Portman Road branch of Planet Blue this morning then from 9am from the other two Planet Blue stores and online, some fans started queuing out side the Portman Road branch from the early hours of this morning.

 

Town's Sales and Marketing Director, Andrew Goulborn: “This Football Club has never seen so many shirts sold in such a short time and the demand has been phenomenal, it has exceeded all our expectations. We based our figures on the white shirt sales of three years ago but the demand has clearly swamped that.

 

“It's the fastest selling shirt we've had and because it was a first come, first served basis and limited edition, there have been some supporters who queued and didn't get a shirt.

 

“We can understand their frustrations and disappointment and because of the demand we are planning to commission another batch of shirts that should be ready for Christmas. These shirts will not have the three star emblem on though.”

 

The previous fastest selling shirt was the white 3^rd kit from 3 seasons ago.
