[Don Tmatter]

Hope Liam gets to wear it next season as well.

Saw it an hour ago. Hated it.

Saw it again now. Like it more.

 

[Willy Dangle]

If you read Twitter everyone loves it, you come on here and everyone hates it.

Gus's fault sack him.

I love it and have pre ordered.

 

[LukeOwen]

Hmm

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Not great news for the club's coffers the amount of people who seemingly won't be buying this shirt. How could the club get it so wrong? Did they hand the project over to a GCSE textiles student, or was it actually a paid professional who designed that?

 

[Ⓩ-Ⓐ-Ⓜ-Ⓞ-Ⓡ-Ⓐ]

I just hate the Big White Cross. It's all I'm seeing when I look at it!

 

[Albion Dan]

Really hate it. Sure the kids will still want it though.

 

[Doc Lynam]

So how much is the new deal worth?

 

[Mellotron]

Will never like the collar, but rest of it has grown on me a bit.

 

[Mayfair Seagull]

I think the design could be rescued slightly by making the collar plain white.. see what you think.

 

[MattBackHome]

I like it. It's slimming.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Never understand why clubs don't let fans have a say in the design of new shirts - after all, if the fans don't like it they're not going to buy it. How difficult would it be for the club to have, say, three or four proposed designs and let fans vote for the one they like best...?

Check out the current standings in the poll for your answer. Nearly as many people like it as those that don't.

 

[kevo]

Agreed, the collar is particularly hideous -surely no-one likes that... What were they thinking?

 

[kevo]

Check out the current standings in the poll for your answer. Nearly as many people like it as those that don't.

Yes, but perhaps they could have designed a shirt that the majority of fans actually like.

 

[Grombleton]

Not the greatest in the world, but it'll grow hopefully. Probably won't buy it, as i'm not a fan of buying a shirt just for the one season.

 

[Paskman]

Possibly the biggest shirt sponsor we have had since British Caledonian

American Express are a worldwide brand, British Caledonian were not - this is bar far the biggest sponsorship deal we have ever had. In fact there are not many bigger brands sponsoring in the Premiership. I believe that this is the first time Amex have ever sponsored a sports team anywhere. They have previously sponsored major US sporting events and had deal with organisations such as the NBA. This is huge for the club. Oh by the way the new shirt is slowly growing on me.

 

[narly101]

Awful - cant stand it. The blue shorts make it look even worse. Had they been White shorts it would have looked ok.

Unless the new away kit is ORANGE I won't be buying either next season.

I would put money on the away kit being plain yellow now as the trim on the home kit is yellow!

Im more worred that the kit is only for the 2013-14 season.3 home shirts needed in my household ££££££

 

[brightn'ove]

3 home shirts needed in my household ££££££

Are the really needed though

Are the really needed though

my kids will think so!
