New shirt not available in xxxl

[nexum5me]

Having spoke to the club today I'm amazed that between them and NIke the new shirts will not be available in the fat git size of xxxl.
I admit my physique has a lot to be desired but surely the club will lose out financially due to this silly decision as I won't be buying the shirt and as a result neither will my two kids get one as daddy won't have his.
Admittedly I'm not overly keen on the design but I've owned every shirt going since the late 80's and my collection will now be stopped
At a time when te club needs every bit of income I'm amazed by this decision

why do your children have to suffer just because you chose to be morbidly obese?

Who's says I'm morbidly obese ? Wouldn't be in my job if I was as I'd fail the yearly medical and FYI my 6 year old son is autistic and has a thing about wearing the same shirt as me on match days , I tried to start a debate about the clubs commercial side going wrong again and I get abuse

You seriously need to lose weight. Forget looking good, you are ripe for a heart attack

Forget all the abuse and stuff lets get back to the thread. Is this a new thing was the 125 year anniversary kit available in XXXL?

[Henry Norris 1913]

Is it whitstable?

[Trippyarsenal]

Yes flash, the last six or seven shirts have been available in that size, I buy em cos I prefer the looser fit across the shoulders.
Going back to my original post it seems madness that the club/ Nike hae decided against making it, especially when arsenal direct day they are popular, I think we can all agree that the clubs commercial side needs looking at cos this decision will cost them sales

Perhaps, despite popular they wouldn't fit the production costs of nike or something like that. They sell the shirts all over the globe and they have a big fitting, as myself, being 6'2'' have to wear M.

It's wrong to cast people out for their size, anyways. But maybe XXXL is just not available for pre-sale...

I have a mate who works for Nike and he says they won't be making XXXL shirts anymore because they require a huge amount more material than the smaller sizes but sell at the same price. A simple cost cutting excercise.

He also did mention that the XXL will cease to be produced when the new home, away and third kits are lauched next year for what will be the 2013/14 season.

At least there's no chance we'll re-sign Kolo Toure from Man City now

Well if they've been reading this forum for any length of time and the amount of piss taking the likes of DB10 and BG have been on the end of, then the only conclusion they could have come up with is Yes!!

Piss taking? I've heard 10 year old schoolgirls that could piss take most of this mob into tears...

Junkie scum.

The new shirts are made out of recycled plastic bottles , (see the new mailing with the new kit for next season) , the official reason is that the 8 bottles ( max per shirt) would only provide u with a sleeveless shirt , so at the risk of looking like a gypsy Nike were told to reduce the sizes on offer !
