The new away ('Volt' yellow) and third ('Crimson' red) shirts

[StonehamPark]

I like the minimalist look of both the tops and the actual shirt design (Away).

I really don't like the colours.

Won't be buying either but probably wouldn't even if I did like the tops.

Yellow and red stripes, that would be good.

Whatever anyone thinks of the shirts, they make a fortune for the clubs.

The sponsor logo would look better centre-justfied IMHO

Who cares what the frigging away shirts look like? Won't make the slightest difference to how well the team plays.

 

[HantsSeagull]

can't understand how some people get so excited by this shit. as long as we wear blue and white stripes at home, who gives a **** about the away strip?

 

[symyjym]

So 'Volt' yellow is really Lemon, and 'Crimson' red is really Strawberry.

 

[Bladders]

I like them, most seem to want a shirt that's clean and simple and that's what we got.

Nice

The sponsor logo would look better not on it

How many more years of this Nike deal are there?

Sick of this template bull**** already.

It's just a kit. Buy it or don't. It's reasonably smart imo. I am interested in the football mainly, why get that bloody wound up about a shirt that you don't have to buy or wear.

 

[BrianWade4]

I love both
Outstanding

Like the fact it's yellow and that will sell fairly well. Wait for the go yellow for Fulham marketing!

Third kit is a waste of time and money, as the orange one was last season. I am told this was a flop on sales.

Still find it massively annoying that you can get the actual kit less the badge and sponsor for under a third of the price. £45 is a total rip off.

Doesn't it make a mockery of the rubbish we were told about the iron-on bit on the home shirts (that it was the 'right shade of white' and nothing to do with Nike pre-fabs). American Express seem more than happy with the right shade of neon.....

The iron bit on the home shirt is because it's striped !

These aren't so doesn't need the big white block to have the sponsor on

Third kit is a waste of time and money, as the orange one was last season. I am told this was a flop on sales.

It was produced as a limited edition and it sold out.

The sponsor logo would look better not on it

Why?

 

[Captain Sensible]

I don't know why Amex don't use the blue logo instead of massive writing. Logos are branding are they not? I also think it would look better.

 

[Captain Sensible]

I do quite like them but not for £45!! Seems to me they are almost the same as the training top. Which is blue and is £25

The away will be perfect to wear cycling

When you look at our away shirt history we have mostly had solid colours, only 5 times in recent years have we had stripes in different colours. We had the obligatory abominations in the late 80's/early 90's, but predominantly they've been solid colours.

Away kits

We've not had a lot of third kits, and only one of them was striped.


As for the Amex logo, corporate brand identity guidelines for most organisations do not allow the brand to be shown directly on a 'broken' background, ie stripes, however, most allow black or white versions on solid background colours. I have dealt with Amex on their branding and they are very protective about their brand, as are all big businesses. Our striped home shirt, so long as it a (slightly modified) Nike Teamwear shirt will always have a heat pressed panel on it for the Amex logo. Until Nike change their teamwear templates (they won't) or we change to a different supplier, then this is how it is going to be.
