The New Home Kit Unveiled

[Nemesis]

Good to see you up to speed with current affairs.

We're not allowed stripes all the way round. Shite, but true.

So how come other clubs have managed to put out shirts with stripes all the way around? Sunderland's home shirt has stripes all round. There are others. Now-what was that about up to speed with current affairs?

I think we need to wait and see before being too critcal, all we have to go on at the moment is a drawing and a bodge job on an eight foot seagull. I'll reserve judgement until I see the real thing.

And where does it say about the club running out of ideas? They get what they're given from Errea's catalogue. Shite, but true.

Having said that, I wouldn't have minded if they'd chosen this style from Errea, it being the best of the bunch...

Excuse my ignorance but why are we not allowed stripes all the way round?

I quite like the shirt. Needs to be pictured with players name and numbers on and with blue shorts though as otherwise far too white.

i went to a hudds match the other day and saw there new kit - really nice, it's a centenary short with thin gold piping on the sleeves, i said to my might I wish our kt looked like that.

I've checked the regulations (sad I know) and I can't find anything not allowing stripes all round.

Fair enough.

Club must think it's just stylish then.

That's the old kit.

No idea - some bloody Football League rule about being able to read players' names or something.

Not sure if it applies to the Premiership.

So it's the old "box on back or bib shirt choice" for all not in the premiershite?

I'm happy with the shirt to be honest and for anyone that isnt the 70's retro shirt is still in the clubshop looking quality!

Ha ha, Nick Rowe was a funny fella. Wonder where he is now?

Re the kit - bloody nora, it's not that difficult is it? Seagull logo left tit, Errea logo right tit, get someone to tell the sponsors the bad news about their logo, redesign it so it's straight and plonk it in the middle. Do stripes all the way round with a white panel on the back at the top for the name.

They got it spot on until the Argentina shirt - I reckon their designer must have died shortly before then, because all the stuff about "we want fans to be able to wear the shirt when they go clubbing" etc got replaced by "we left the bit at the bottom white because you'll tuck that bit in" (presumably designed to make the South Stand look like an army of Gareth Glovers - no disrespec' Garth, you knows I loves you).

Even Bellotti managed it in '96/97.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

I think we've gone from having the best logo ever to having the worst ever.

I'm sure some wag will rearrange the letters with a cunningly added 'h' in there...

 

[Old Greg]

it looks alright, but i want to see the away kit, that better be shitting good.

i think the numbers should be in red too ... i don't know why they leave the red off, if it's in the logo it should feature in the shirt.

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Looks decent enough and I might grab one, still prefer the new Cowdenbeath shirt though

Pictures of it!!!

 

[Publius Ovidius]

This is what it should have looked like;

Now that is a decent blue and white stripes

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

I wish they would put the missing h on that sponsor's logo

Can't find the league's regs which I think make a distinstion between shirts that are "bespoke" design (ie specialy designed bythe club) and one that are bought "off the shelf" (ie out of the company catalgue) by clubs. The "ten years" celebration shirt was taken out of the Errea catalogue and so had stripes on the back. Basically a "bespoke" design must conform to the UEFA regulations regarding numbers appearing on a "single colour patch" but this is the ruling for the UEFA Champions League, so won't be a million miles away:

Article 8
Numbers
8.04 The colour of these numbers must be noticeably different from that of the payer's kit and must either be a contrast colour or appear on a single coloured patch
8.05 The number on a strioped, hooped, banded or checked shirt must appear on a single coloured patch
