[Albion] New shirt: yay or nay?

[Shooting Star]

Maybe so, but we're not tractor boys

To be fair, Ipswich have messed around with their kit for a number of seasons now so I don't really think Town have one kit that is "them". They've been very inconsistent with the pinstripes.

 

[Swansman]

I like it. Not very imaginative, but nice looking.

 

[Poojah]

Speaking as a neutral, I think it’s really smart. I’d go as far as to say it looks ‘class’.

However, as a supporter of a stripey club (Grimsby) I can see why it sits uneasily with some. Our 2011/12 Errea shirt was effectively a black and white version of the Brighton shirt from the season before. That was thin stripe rather than pinstripe and I didn’t like it. The difference though was the shirt was generally just a bit ugly (as well as shiny) - I reckon I could live with a black white and red version of your new one.

I can hear it booming out from the north stand now ..............

"We are the stripes, we are the stripes, we are the stripes ....................... oh"

 

[dingodan]

Did not like it when I first saw it to be fair it was a bit of a shock as I was not expecting such a change from the stripes.

But now we are winning wearing it I am starting to like it more

Yeah, to be honest, I hate every new home kit for about 3 days, then I get used to it, then a little while later, I love it.

 

[Ding Dong !]

Yep ....like it

Reminds me of my yoof !!! .....With the British Caledonian shirt and the stripes for FA Cup final

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Nay.

Not to my taste at all.

No big deal though - I don't expect to like the home kit every year.

 

[Sussexscots]

Thought I liked it at first, however, the white collar looks wrong and, again, the back has a huge blank panel on it
Which means it looks incomplete unless you shell out extra for a name/number.

Shame as it could have been very nice indeed.

 

[Sheebo]

Hated it on first glance - collars looks shit - it’s grown on me though. So I’m middle of the poll.

 

[Bodian]

No. I didn't like it the first time round (my first time anyway - I know we had blue shirts earlier also), and it just doesn't feel right. Also, when you see highlights from the Division 1 days , cup run - I always think 'shame we weren't in our proper kit'.

Don't know why they have to mess around with it.

 

[spence]

Love it

 

[Wellesley]

It's grown on me but I don't like the pin stripes on the back of the shirt, should have just left it plain. Can't vote as undecided but would have been a yay with a different collar.

 

[m@goo]

Angry?

Well extremely disappointed. So many really nice options out there and they choose this monstrosity.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Like it a lot.

 

[vagabond]

Nay x100

 

[BN9 BHA]

Definitely a yay from me.
I think it's nice but the collar would be better with just a V neck or a bit smaller.

 

[Southern Scouse]

Omg..... looks like a retro bitters shirt.
WTH are our stripes?

 

[Jeremiah]

Nay - too Pompey.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Hate the collars. The players looked like they should be wearing a tie.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Why try and go retro?? It just looks crap! We've had pinstripes recently and no one liked that one either. Quite angry about this.

When did we have pinstripes recently?
