[Albion] Fao Mr Bloom

[portlock seagull]

Ps when you place orders, add another zero and don’t be so tinpot underestimating. This seasons kit has been an embarrassment in both design and availability.

Sorry, more of a traditionalist so it's a no from me for two stripes!!!

But the design was so popular, it affected the availability due to record sales.

The back of the shirt looks like a home patched quilt done by Mama Walton.

The back is especially ludicrous, giving the impression the players are in fact wearing two shirts, but forgot to tuck the stripey one into their shorts. Strong whiff of design by committee.

Nike? Just stop it.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

What about the back?

I think it being a Premier League shirt made it popular to be honest.

 

[DavePage]

Is it in leather?

Same here, much prefer the narrower stripes.

Three actually, it’s a blue shirt with three white stripes

Bullshit. It is a terrible kit. All our Nike kits have been an embarrassment. Why are we using a kit manufacturer that is so tin pot they can't make stripes on the back of a shirt!?

Your opinion is that it is a terrible kit. I didn't give an opinion, as I quoted a fact that it had record sales.

 

[jasetheace]

Can we have that but made by someone other than Nike?

Would love a return of the 70's Bukta kit...

Not to mention can't supply any shirts for four months.

Exactly. I shall not be buying another shirt, by any maker, that does not have stripes all round. My latest was the Errea one with the yellow trim round collar and sleeves and of course with American Express as an integral part of the shirt rather than a sad add-on. Much classier than all our current kit, but you pays yer money and takes yer choice. I suppose the marketing results show that I'm wrong about people wanting stripes all round, but I'm happy to remain a completely stripey dinosaur. Strangely my stripes-free Palookaville shirt is one of my all-time faves!

Patent?

 

[5ways]

I'm sure he or some of his people come on here every now and then and I'm also expecting that the backroom boys must be working on next years kit around now

so please Mr Bloom when you meet up with the Nike rep for initial chats please stick this on his forehead and send him on his way

Thanks in advance

It seems so simple to make a fantastic kit. How do we end up with so many duds?

A lot of the Errea stuff was quality, just wish I could have afforded it at the time. So many kit manufacturers have to mess with the stripes with all teams that have them. Is it too much to ask to have them front and back...

We have the old problem of numbers not showing up on striped shirts. Same as sponsor's endorsements on the front. We have issues with making sure we go with a kit maker who pays us big bucks up front. We have a lot of admin people at the club all putting their twopeneth into design. We have a merchandising dept who want the kit home and away kits changed every 5 minutes and want to charge as much as possible. We have kit manutacturers who want to limit the number of sizes and how long the sleeves are to save money.
And then we have the supporters..............who all have a different opinion of what we should and shouldn't have. No wonder noone ever seems to get it right.
Oh, yeah, I think the current kit is shite.

Some serious calf room in those socks.
