Nike 2016/17 stripe fabric template -

If I recall correctly American Express use a certain shade of white in their logo and we have to adhere to that. It's just bad bloody luck that the white Amex use and the white Nike use in the kits don't match. The iron on wouldn't look half as awful if the whites were at least the same shade.

I don't like our current strips, looks Sunday league. prefer Wigan & Colchester, look much nicer kits but don't know who makes them.

Wigan is Kappa, no iron on logos, Colchester is Puma, no iron on logos.

Yes, errea never use large sponsor panels...

I would assume that is at the insistence of Aviva more than anything else. However, it doesn't look ironed on

I might also add that I must have been very lucky with the shirts I have bought, I haven't had a panel peel off any of them. I don't wear them loads, just if having a relaxing day around the house, or playing/going to football.

Correct, not ironed on, printed into the fabric.

the Aviva logo can be used like this but I guess the way they have done it is considered more visible.

Be that as it may, it still looks awful.

Or if they used the black and white transfer.

Or if they used the black and white transfer.

I can see that happening (black box, white logo) on the next kit as even they can't be satisfied with the shambles Nike have put on the current kit. Part of the problem might be the 'thickness' of the white to make sure it obscures any 'show through' of the blue stripes behind.

Not for us, obv, but I like the Argie-esque white one.

Just watched MOTD, saw the Bury kits by New Balance, now I know they are not blue and white stripes, but they are bespoke for Bury, and I think they look decent. I just hope that the financial benefits for us having got into bed with nike are worth it.

No, they're horrendous

And I say that as a massive NB fan.

I reckon we'll get another "semi" bespoke home kit from Nike this year. This has just been announced and seen the same design elsewhere on a couple of other teams. I'm betting on a blue tile with white Amex logo this year too just so the kit looks different enough. Maybe a collar?

I wont buy any shirt with a stuck on plastic panels - just crap.

I see that Nacional seem to have had bespoke Nike kits for the past 3 years, they are one of the biggest clubs in Colombia which may explain why Nike will do it for them. There might be hope for us though, Nike seem to make sublimated bespoke kits in Aus, elsewhere in Asia, and South America, surely they could do the same in Europe.

Anyone know how long the Nike contract is for

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Because I don't have a life. Here's a few clues as to what we could expect....

aren't they all last years designs apart from the Nacional one?

I thought there was a thing where Nike won;t make a bespoke kit for the first two seasons, but then will after that?

See QPR who had an off-the-peg number in year 1 then a bespoke one in year 2. I imagine we sell a similar amount of shirts as QPR.

I just wonder . . . whether we will revert back to plain, all blue strip of 1980 when we had to accommodate British Caledonian Airways logo on the shirt? I seem to remember that it was stated that the striped shirt was unsuitable at the time.

Not sure about that, IIRC all the qpr Nike kits have been off the shelf styles.
