Numbers on the back of the new shirts are very difficult to see.

It was almost impossible to make out the numbers at any distance at Crawley last night so what's it going to belike from way up in WSU?

Not impressed. We'll need opera glasses.

 

[The Merry Prankster]

Yep, they're terrible.

 

[Frutos]

The away ones seem much clearer.

Got a feeling the FL will tell us to change the colour of the numbers to black so they will be visible. How long will it be before an innocent player gets a yellow card because the ref's assistant cannot read the yellow numbers on the back of the shirt ?

 

[TheMajor]

Not good news for Ashley. He'll get the blame for everybody else's mistakes.

 

[Brightonia]

Should have gone to specsavers.......

 

[Bladders]

I can tell even from the upper stands who's who, so not too bothered myself.

Or the club might make the call themselves and change the colour of the numbers like they did the season before last after the Portsmouth game.

 

[Telford Seagull]

obviously I know that we'll all know who is in goal for us, but I find it strange how on the keepers' top (which is dark green) the printing is black. Surely that would be clearer if it is white?

The blue numbers on the back of the away shirt show up quite well. From a distance Bruno and El Abd have a very similar physique and shiny heads so without me wearing my glasses it is difficult to tell them apart.

 

[Napper]

Does anyone use the numbers ?

 

[countryman]

They look like they used masking tape to make the numbers. I could only just about make out the numbers at the lewes game.

 

[Brightonia]

**** me some of you lot will find anything to have a moan at!

 

[8ace]

Said this at the Whitehawk game.

I thought it was an FA/FL rule that if you had a stripy kit, that the back of the shirt had to have a panel to accommodate an easily visible number

 

[Soulman]

I hope they get the numbers sorted out, the numbers are the only way i can tell the difference between Bridcutt and Ulloa.

No, there is no such rule. There used to be for if a team made it to European matches, but I think even that might have been relaxed, but for sure, no FL or EPL rule.

I tend to get KLL and Kush mixed up, lets hope it gets sorted quick!

If there is a rule then both Sheffield clubs are breaking it

Crikey, i'm glad i'm not the only one.
