New strip causing problems?

[Cowfold Seagull]

Both new kits are shite! Having a black away kit means we will be playing in the dull red kit more times whilst away this year due to colour clashes!

Yep. Although I woudn't call our crimson third shirt dull exactly. Personally I quite like it.

 

[Easy 10]

That shirt is utter shithouse. I HATE the plain white back. I knew it would be khazi.

 

[Mackenzie]

Let's face it, our kit is a right dogs dinner. What on earth were they thinking to come up with that piece of shit.

 

[BensGrandad]

Does anybody know if it has sold well in the shop.I personally dont like any of the 3 kits but may be tempted to buy the away shirt if it was a polo shirt and available in 4xl.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

The black shirt will sell very well, the home shirt will sell less than the last one would be my guess but we're never going to know for sure, there's no value in the club releasing sales comparisons. I'll be getting my Skalak 8 away shirt at some point this month.

New strip causing problems?

What, as in the fans hating it? Yes. plenty!



Why is it that we seem to be the only bloody team in the league that thinks there's a rule that if you play in stripes, you can't have them down the back?

You think they were thinking?


Only one solution: nobody buy a bloody shirt this season. Then buy a PROPER striped shirt next season when the club recognises the error of its ways.

I don't think that's how Mr. Barber operates.

Too late this month. The shop has closed for the last time alas.

The 1979 Bukta kit is still my favourite design. Not because we got promoted to the top flight with it, just because it was the best in my opinion.

Its a shame, teams have to change their favourite kits every 2 years just on a money making exercise.

That's the thing, we don't play in stripes really do we? Last year we played in a blue shirt with a few while lines on the front, and this year we're going to be playing in white shirts with a few blue lines on the front.

Are you seriously telling me that the first half shirt is our home kit. I thought they had got the YTS trainees to sew a white patch on the back and then crayon numbers (and names? sorry they were too small for me to tell) on them.

 

[Murray 17]

They didn't change their shorts though! I'm no style expert, but black shirt, blue shorts...?

 

[Notters]

Think the bigger problem is the goalkeeper in a bright yellow shirt - the opponents know exactly where to shoot. Makes far more sense to have the team in bright yellow and the goalkeeper in black.

Only one problem. The club shop was doing a roaring trade after the games yesterday, with the queues four deep. Kids, especially, want the latest shirt, regardless.

I read a few years back that keepers' jerseys were bright to distract a striker. The theory was that the striker would take aim and end up shooting closer to the keeper as the colour stood out in their vision.

It was also said that keepers' wearing red save more penalties than those who wore black - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...penalties-Dress-goalie-red-reading-Fabio.html

Ask me though and it's all PR hullabaloo.

Yes, I'm sure that's the case and it's too late to fling the current abomination back in the face of its creators. Maybe a campaign should be staring now to boycott the next shirt as a protest.

Could the halftime change have simply been an instruction from the ref as the blue was too similar and Lazio probably didnt have another colour kit available so we changed shirts. Didnt it happen when we played a Spanish team pre season?

Kids will demand anything though won't they, doesn't mean it's good! We had better shirts than this 20 or 30 years ago.

It could, but probably just pre-planned so as to showcase both kits.

I think they did the same last year and maybe in years before that as well.
