I don't really care either way, I don't hate them like some people seem to, I think they look ok. The worst bit is the collar for me, but where are the threads on OTIB about that?? The club hasnt consulted fans on shirt design for years and years if ever from my memory so I don't know why people thought they would start doing it now. Personally asking fans to design shirts and vote on them etc etc is the kind of embarrassing stuff League 2 clubs get up to. Decisions like shirt design should stick with designers IMO they have done well the last 2 years I would say, and they look to have a good shirt for next season as well, good luck to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View from the Dolman Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 Not keen on the hashtags but also not keen on design by committee with certain vocal types screaming and shouting if they don't get their exact wishlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe usually the club run designs or ideas by he FAN group at the very least to get a small focus group of opinion before pressing ahead. This time they haven't and the shirts have a hugely unpopular feature that'll reflect in the sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I don't have a record of individual supporters consultations with the club but to think that a multi-million pound organisation such as Bristol Sport with all the business acumen involved would not think to conduct market research of some description is either slightly ridiculous or if true I would wonder how on earth SteveL and co have got to where they are in the first place!

On a tangent, I read recently that 16-24 year olds use #hashtags in the smallest % of their tweets than any age group which is quite interesting.

By having a in house suppler Bristol Sport have the opportunity to be very flexible regarding design unlike Adidas who will provide a template. One of the clubs pillars is community. The kit is an opportunity spurned of involving Bristol City's community - Fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive never heard any evidence of focus groups before but fair enough if they have. Honestly, the reaction to this shirt is embarrassing, some people need to get a grip, it's a football shirt, it's red, it's got some writing on, as long as we win wearing it I couldn't care less really. There have been many worse shirts over the years than this one, they all blend into one in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted April 22, 2016 Report Share Posted April 22, 2016 If no one uses the actually terrible #MakingBristolProud then they will see their metrics drop off. You get 140 characters in a tweet - they're asking people to use 19 of those (13.5%) to use an awful hashtag that means nothing. #hashtagsout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
