New shirt next season

[GreersElbow]

Hmm, i'm on the fence about the cosmetics. But further sponsorship from Amex = ££££££££

 

[HantsSeagull]

how anyone can be in favour of ditching the stripes for those pin stripes is beyond me. yuk

 

[hans kraay fan club]

but Errea are very unfashionable and that definitely effects shirt sales.
.

Sales figures for both current shirts don't seem to support your argument.

Oh really?

Someone on Facebook has heard that this will be the new away shirt next season View attachment 37372

What do you think

Lifted from a FM12 forum. They look smart as, but, y'know, it's bollocks like. Sorry mate

 

[brakespear]

Both look absolute quality, I'd love them to be our kits for next season.

This - I'd probably even go the lengths of buying a replica shirt for the first time since the black 'Skint' kit.

 

[Seagulltonian]

Ahem. We didn't have a British Caledonian Cup Final shirt.

Apologies Superphil, you're absolutely right. Old age is a curse, you forget stuff! lol

 

[The Large One]

Most people outside of Italy call them Inter Milan, so what?

Oh well, in that case - QED.

There are probably on two reasons why the club might abandon the stripes, proper stripes that is (and not for the first time), and that would be if the chairman/owner wasn't a fan of the club and didn't really connect with some of the traditions and the second would be so the sponsor's name stands out.

In 1980, we decided to ditch the stripes, move to Adidas and have the blue British Caledonian (classic) shirt because "To many, the stripes associate the club with the Third Division days and we are now determined to be a First Division club in every way".

Actual words from the programme.

Like the current away shirt, but orange and black? I can picture that quite well actually.

I was thinking all orange but that could work.

I agree that Nike/adidas tend to offer similar designs to clubs, but Errea are very unfashionable and that definitely effects shirt sales.

The first Errea shirt was great (first season at Withdean), since then.. appalling.

- Unfashionable is an opinion. Flourescent Green and black isn't exactly fashionable, but the shirt has sold in bucketloads.
- Shirt sales have been amazing the last few years.
- Errea make nice kits
- I'd prefer unique over marked up teamwear any day.

That doesn't explain six seasons with a plain blue-bodied, white-sleeved shirt - one of which was in the Fourth Division.

As I have said on other threads, my mate does all the Nike kits marketing for all UK football teams.

Tried to get us 18 months ago and said had a very long term deal with Errea.

He acquired Palace and Charlton though!

Best £3 he ever spent?

Sure, unfashionable is an opinion of course, but I know loads of people who would buy the shirt if we had a fashionable manufacturer. The new stadium factor has helped boost shirt sales - if we had got the disgusting green and black at the withdean I think sales would have been very different.

I was thinking all orange but that could work.

Luminous orange like Bogdan's kit?

 

[OSRGull]

Wouldn't think so. Why have one of the main home colours as an away shirt?

We've had a white away shirt before im sure.

I know. Don't shoot the meesenger.
