Coventry release one-off kit for Sky Bet League Two play-off final
Coventry City have controversially announced the release of a one-off shirt for the Sky Bet League Two play-off final.
Mark Robins’ Sky Blues will face Exeter at Wembley on Bank Holiday Monday (May 28) and the fans will have to fork out £45 to wear the merchandise for their trip to the capital.
The move has not gone down too well with the club’s fans, with some branding it a ‘money-making scheme’, ‘ridiculous’ and saying they ‘should wear the kit we used to get here’.
Sky Bet League Two play-off final: Coventry 6/4 to win in 90 minutes, draw 11/5 and Exeter 19/10
Explained: Coventry's statement
“The Sky Blues have exhausted their supply of the home kit for the 2017/18 season and therefore, due to those exceptional circumstances, will wear a one-off kit for this game.
“The 2017/18 home kit also proved very popular with supporters, which has meant that stock has also sold out in the club shop ahead of the Final. The introduction of a special, one-off limited edition shirt will mean that fans will be able to buy a replica CCFC shirt ahead of the big game.
“Dave Boddy, Coventry City Chief Executive, said: “With our existing supply exhausted, we have commissioned a special, limited edition one-off shirt for the Play-Off Final.
“The striped kit is one with much history, especially at Wembley, for the Sky Blues.
“We hope it will be very popular with supporters, who will be able to buy the shirt now online at ccfc.clubstore.co.uk.
“This will not be the kit for the 2018/19 season, so we hope it will be a very unique shirt for the club and fans.”
