New Launch Date for Blackburn Away Kit

A manufacturing problem at Umbro postponed the launch date but Blackburn Rovers have now announced on their official website that fans will be able to get their hands on the new away shirt next week.

The Club confirmed that fans will be able to purchase the away kit from the superb Roverstore from 9am on Thursday July 24. The launch was delayed last weekend, continued the report, saying that a manufacturing problem involving kit supplier Umbro held the club from making the proposed launch.

“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.”
