[Albion] New kit, with Amex sponsorship

[Colossal Squid]

This is absolute shit.

Real disappointment given the potential was there to do something lovely with the new sponsor's blue and white logo.

Hate the fat stripes, hate the prevalence of white, hate the stupid collar, hate the HUGE gap left by the sponsor logo but worst of all I HATE HATE HATE that absolute DISASTER on the back where the AmEx logo is in its natural shade of light blue, completely clashing with our own royal blue. What were they thinking?

Looking forward to this season's shirt being reduced in the shop so I can buy a fresh one to wear when my current one wears out because I will NOT be buying this new heap of shit.

Better than solid blue

I agree that it's been designed with Amex in mind but if that means they are giving a few more quid then GOOD.

Is the right answer.

It wouldn't matter what the design was, some would love it, some would hate it and many would be in-between.

Most of us will get used to it and the kit won't make the slightest difference to the way we play.... but the Amex sponsorship might....

 

[Trolly Dolly]

Oh **** he really has; I is psycic

He has just tweeted that he loves it.. so possibly.

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I never like new kits when they are launched, but I am sure it will be part of my make up by the start of next season.

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

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Gonna buy a Retro shirt now-------classy Wardy one

Is the right answer. It's what all civilised fans-about-town are wearing, and far from the atrocity they're about to impose upon us. They're supposed to be stripes, not three-foot-wide bars that make us look like a washed-out West Brom.

Because if ever the question 'where were you when we were shit?' can be asked of anyone, it's them. Could have played a major part financially in the late 80's/early 90's (and helped prevent the subsequent events) but didn't want to know. **** 'em!

 

[Meade's Ball]

Glad it's just for a year. A generally styleLESS piece of work. Not impressed.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

At least the palarse one is comedy funny! Ours just looks sh*t :/

Reckon AMEX blue on the away somewhere btw

 

[brakespear]

Anyone else slightly OCD about the fact the 'Express' is not centrally aligned?

I am now you've mentioned it - thanks

Having looked at the studio shots rather than the Amex photo I've decided the blue is actually OK but still don't like the yellow round the edge.

 

[wallyback]

At least we will have God on our side, what with that large white crucifix on the front of our shirts!

I think the first pic on here taken at the Amex doesn't do it justice. Looking at the studio shots on the official site it looks much better.

Agree after a few more pages on this thread i started liking it after seeing the pics of Bridcutt wearing it
Seeing the first photo of that fat bird wearing it with the Ill fitting shorts and Greer not doing it much justice either with the socks over his knees , that first photo just looked messy a very bad photo shoot
So I've come to the conclusion I LIKE IT now but didn't at first

 

[Flavor Flav]

Looks absolutely gash. Who designs this stuff?!

 

[Mayfair Seagull]

Lots of clubs offer their supporters the chance to vote for their preferred shirt design... it's nice and democratic. For some reason though, our club never does!

 

[Barnham Seagull]

Great sponsorship deal but hate the new shirt.

 

[Deleted member 22389]

Possibly the biggest shirt sponsor we have had since British Caledonian

Emphatically this.

We did it once - for the maroon stretchy away kit.
