Re: New Kits
Nah. Blue and white are awful. The red is absolutely catastrophic.
What the hell is the shirt sponsor as well?
No wonder they've kept quiet about all this.

Theo looks like he's started going to the same place as Happe to get his eyebrows done.

Re: New Kits
It's... different
The very top part reminds me of the early 90's Independent Transport shirt though the white rectangle goes a bit too far across into the arms which makes it look a bit weird. Got a feeling it may grow on me though.
Real Estate sponsor so what with what Devlin said about improving the sponsorships we must be getting a good deal money wise

Re: New Kits
The white block on the home kit looks way too prominent. The away kit appears to have skidders on it. Blue kit looks alright.

Re: New Kits
It's as if they've taken that Baman zebra-crossing shirt from the early 90s - arguably one of our worst kits ever - and bastardised it to make it even worse than it was.

Re: New Kits
On the plus side, we've signed most of our players before this was launched.
If El Miz doesn't come back, this has to be one of the main reasons why.

Re: New Kits
Looks like one of the options in the brochure I used to get from Sunday league kit manufacturers in the early 1990's.
Lets hope we play better than we look!

Re: New Kits
Training wear is equally uninspiring too.
It's a real shame as the 3 kits last season were all varying degrees of decent, with classy sponsors as well.
(If this is all we have to moan about this year, I'll take it).

Re: New Kits
Those shirts go for a fortune these days. Retro football kits are a massive trade and the peak nostalgic period for them is early to mid 90s, when kit designers seemed to be completely off their nut. The new one is definitely tapping into that trend.TRUMP Plumbing wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2023 9:12 am It's as if they've taken that Baman zebra-crossing shirt from the early 90s - arguably one of our worst kits ever - and bastardised it to make it even worse than it was.
I don't mind this one, would rather they take a swing at something unique and related to the clubs history than a generic red jersey with some minor colour change.

Re: New Kits
I've noticed they haven't released the keepers shirt yet. Probably waiting until we've signed one before they go public and put everyone off.

Re: New Kits
Yup I've been after that Independent Transport one for ages, which I think is the same design as the one Trump is talking aboutMistadobalina wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2023 9:20 amThose shirts go for a fortune these days.

Turns out that's available as a retro remake which I may well go for

Re: New Kits
Home kit was *almost* brilliant - a nod to the underrated Comet Roofing era shirt mixed with the England 82/86 away kit - but they've managed to balls it up. Sponsor is weirdly placed, knocks the whole thing off balance.
Third kit the best but ruined with a crap v-neck, if they'd stuck with a round collar we'd be talking but nah.

Re: New Kits
Agree with most home kit not good.
Other two are ok with the Blue looking the best of the three.
I normally buy one shirt a year haven't bought the home one in a while and was planning to this year. I think that will be going out of the window unless it look a whole lot better in the flesh.

Re: New Kits
Saw a similar comment about moving away from a charity sponsor. As long as it's not a scummy betting company I don't care who our sponsor is as long as they're paying good money to the club for the privilege. Based on what Mark Devlin said a few weeks back this new one has paid a fair bit more than previous sponsors, now get some more players in with the £££TRUMP Plumbing wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2023 9:17 am
