New away kit

[hans kraay fan club]

This years home kit is the best one since moving to the Amex. The black away kit the same.

This years away is awful. Yellow and green wtf ?

We'll find out later today, but I'm still of the opinion that there is no green on it, and the shoulders are thin black and yellow stripes, in the style of the home template.

(I'm not disputing at all, that in the long range pictures, of the Royal Blood chap, under gig lighting, in the dark, it LOOKS green)

Would love it to be all yellow

Am I the only one who doesn't see the "leak" as a mistake

If the club didn't want a leak then they wouldn't have sent a shirt over to Australia days, even weeks before release. I would guess they did it knowing full well it would be worn at the concert and a grainy photo would be taken. Then all the "oooo must post on twitter to make myself look ultra COOL" crew would do exactly that and a seemingly silly error would help the launch by everybody wanting to see the actual shirt.

They gave him the shirt with the intention of wearing it for sure. It's viral marketing isn't it? They probably even paid him. I didn't look at those gig photos really but if it's in Australia as I understand then 100% marketing campaign.

It does ask the question though...what if this isn't even the away kit? Or are we all sure now that it is?

Yes, of course they gave him the shirt as a marketing tool. They know he's a big Albion fan (STH) and likes to wear Albion stuff (and brand up his drum kit sometimes) on stage. the band have a big following, so its a no-brainer. No chance that they PAY him to wear it though. We're not that big time, nor that cynical.

I do expect that there has been a small miscommunication though, and Ben was supposed to know NOT to wear it until after the official launch (today?). that said, as above, it has not done any harm has it? If anything the early attention / intrigue is a bonus.

I think if anything it's helped the launch. A teaser if you will...and it's good market research. Now they know to dye the sleeves before this afternoon.

Black and yellow stripes (on the sleeve)

LIKE

Also it turns out him wearing it WAS part of the release

From the pictures I do not like it but whats the problem as I wont buy one anyway as I think football shirts look ridiculous on anybody over 30 years old or larger than XL.

I think it'll be a 'grower'

So it wasn't a leak then, it was how they choose to reveal the kit (with the images that came from the gig being something I imagine they'd foreseen). A different way of announcing the new kit, interesting approach.

Well, nobody would've even thought to look for the images of that gig, if [MENTION=12101]Mellotron[/MENTION] had'nt have posted this thread

Unless he's in on it too?

Ha. If you believe that spin...

Well given the well produced video it's clear they wanted to do something like this.

Horrible. Just horrible. Worse than that Green & Black number in our first year at the Amex.

 

[Dan The Man]

is alternative kit the same as away kit?

 

[jamie the seagull]

Love the Away kit....Royal Blood should have done the concert full kit !!
