New Shirt???

[Citrus]

The seagull is better than the badge though...

Having not spent our money in the seagulls shop on crappy quality shirts my son (who for some strange reason has been following Bayern munich) ordered on Tuesday the black champions league shirt for the same money the albion one would have cost.

It has just arrived and I have to say the difference in style and quality for the same price is worlds apart.

Still, the seasgulls did get £1.50 out of us for a wristband.

Basic economics would say that if something is produced in larger numbers it would reduce it's cost.

I see Plymouth, Reading and Stoke have their kits made by Puma now.

Agreed, but I'm sure we could do something about the quality which is the reason behind why I didn't purchase the shirt rather than a cost decision.

In regards to quality I think the latest home shirt is a backward step and agree with easy that it is possibly the worst home kit for a long time during probably a time of highest demand.

Maybe the fans should put this issue about quality of replica shirts to the club soon so as to allow them to do something about it. Whether it be that they take it up with Errea or find a new supplier - the latter being my personal choice.

 

[Citrus]

I think we've recently agreed an extension with Errea for another 3 or 4 years...

 

[DTES]

I don't think being with Errea is the problem. The centenery shirt is quality, and that was Errea. Just ditch the pale, and ditch the 'apron', and everyone's a winner.

We need to go back to te good old dark blue stripes and have a modern home shirt in the same style as the away ones.

I think the problem with our shirts is that we try and get them made as cheap as possible to maximise the profit. This means we get iron on sponsers logos, dodgy stitching, no collars, etc. The Palookavile kits are just standard Errea designs that a pub football team would buy but with the clubs logo on.

I wouldn't mind paying a couple of pounds extra more if the quality improved.

That's only been the case in the last year or so. Before that I thinkl the quality was very good. I think we may have made a rod for our own backs by moaning about the late availablity of shirts and so that's partly why they have taken the standard down a notch - to get them in the club shop quicker.

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

I went to buy a home shirt the other day but all the collars in my size were filthy,looked like one of the un-washed from waterhall had been wearing it whilst tarmacking.

 

[HAMPSHIRE DAVE]

Got to be THE LATE 70'S KIT!!
Anything else is just a poor replacement.
You can buy the British Cal kit in the shop.
When I went to the Leicester game last season me and me mate Paul were lurking outside the shop with intent when Paul on spotting the British Cal kit said,I'VE STILL GOT MY ORIGINAL ONE!!

[Braders]

Yes and it should be our proper blue....

and stripes that go all the way down

and a white seagull

and a sponsor that doesn't peel off

and no tacky badge at the bottom

and a collar that doesn't go dodgy in the wash

And a material that doesn't STINK after you've warn it for a couple of hours...

Or is that just me!

Fortunately for me, when I left my job last week, those nice poeple at Amex gave me a £50 voucher for the seagulls shop as my leaving gift.

Got the new maroon shirt (XXXXXXXXXXL - Don't look good in lycra), and an Albion T-shirt for Mrs Pasty.
