They'll be withholding the information for a reason. It's Panthers.. Panthers like money, this is a big chunk of money that'll be lining their wallet so it'd be unlike them to not bother advertising if there wasn't a reason.
I'd expect it to be a case of having the photo shoot this week and then the imagines going through editing etc..
With Eddie and Callum working with Panthers, seeing the endless messages regarding jerseys.. They will be constantly asking for information and I would expect them both to have seen the jerseys, know all the details but awaiting something to allow them to do the jersey launch.

I'm sure I saw a post recently where Ice Locker announced that the jerseys will be going on sale from 20th August...

Im sure there is a picture out there of a yellow/gold one on the panthers twitter account from a week or few back.... Could have been an old playoff finals one though.

brilliant - the BIG NEWS at 3pm - is that we cant actually buy them yet, or even see a shirt design until the day of our first fixture
what an anticlimax

What does "printed on" mean too? The picture seems to show Lacho's name on a name bar, are they offering some heat pressed rubbish?

Confirmed as Warrior on Twitter.
I am very much on the positive side with panthers but, damn do they make it hard! How is it possible to be that bad at PR and have a following like we have? Uni students could do a dissertation on it as a true anomaly.

The fact that YOUR name is emphasised would suggests people wouldn't be able to get player shirts printed which would be very bad practice in my mind

Someone tweeted them about that and confirmed it's player names too, suppose it just means any name and number.
Again though, poorly worded, as usual. Shouldn't be a question that needed to be asked.

I think anything is an improvement in the poor quality of the CH jerseys! The potential of last seasons jersey could have been really good, just let down by in my personal opinion a poor quality of finish. Doesn't seem like the care was there when in production

I was never as in love with CH as some on here, I'm glad we're partnered with a major sportswear manufacturer now - even if we had to follow in little sister's footsteps - and I don't even mind dye-sublimated jerseys, but I do mind a bad custom job, so it'll be interesting to see if they're offering a jersey that'll match what the players have*, which I would assume would either be fully stitched on or would be sublimated into the jersey or something in between (namebar stitched, number subbed), or whether they're going to have someone at Ice Locker bunging them on with the old melty machine, a la what Reebok do with their NHL lower level replicas. For £5, I fear the worst.
* - In terms of the name & number, won't be game weight obviously, or have a fighting strap.

The namebars are stitched on I think and I know Clan's last season had the club crest stitched on too. IceLocker will no doubt offer the same printing they did last season so we wouldn't get the namebar.
The price is £10 more, £15 if you want a name/number.. Hardly a bank breaking increase. It's still a lot of money but if you were willing to spend £60 then it's hardly an issue.
The jersey in that photo in the office won't be it, that's been in there for about a year. Likely one of the favourite examples CH Sport sent last season.

Is the image they tweeted an old jersey or a teaser of the new one?
The name & number on that is all stitched. Is that what Clan did last year?

Clan did the same last season and had their logo stitched on the front. Don't think sponsors were stitched on and all patterns/stripes etc.. We're printed. We'll likely have the England flag on the V part of the neck like in the CHL too!

I'm just amazed that "Lachowicz" is spelt correctly on the shirt !

We have 2 young children and it's my daughters first season going. My son has grown out of his shirt and we've always got new ones each season because it's a treat to or selves. For 4 shirts, I'm looking at 250 quid. It's just a mad amount of money but it's the same in all sports. I find people who say it's not a big amount of money don't have to worry about their mortgage or bills because to some of us that's not a small amount come the end of the month

Seriously why aren't they on sale now? I'm guessing it would look so good to do a press release saying how many pre-sales there are.
Makes me wonder however is will I be able to buy one on day of release (If I like it) or will they magically have just enough Jerseys for the pre-orders?

From the Twitter chap, it sounded like while they will eventually have them in the shop, there's no real idea when, so you probably need to order one if you want one quickly.
Odd that we had reports of store rooms full of them at Ice Locker last week, I wonder if they're ready to go/be "printed", seem very certain they'd be available for game 1 of the season.

There's no picture because as usual in Pantherland......they're not even here yet !
Honestly,what sort of Mickey Mouse outfit has an official shirt launch where you can't buy one. It's like going to a book signing and finding out they don't have any books.
It really is quite pathetic !
