Midlands Robin Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I love the way you have to pay a fiver more not to have that childlike scrawl on the front of your shirt. Reminds me of that football competition where second prize was two tickets to watch the sags while the first prize was just one ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even if you do shell out the extra fiver to dodge that horrendous font you are left with the badge in a terrible position floating too high for no good reason. I might have bought one without the text but for that - I'm with every poster on this thread who is bemused and confounded as to how this design got approved.

Where the child has added 'Bristol City' on the shirt to the left, the badges and logo have been moved up to accommodate the 'lettering'. Clearly, in the production process someone said that scrawl looks utter shite and removed it from the second offering. Problem was as this was being done at a playschool event, the person forgot to move the logo and badge down, even though the 'lettering' had been removed. Hear the Club are already trying to book shipping containers to send surplus stock to Africa next Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLionLad Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Years ago, I remember the club used to give fans a choice of several designs of kit to choose or vote for. Maybe they need to start doing that again as I can see their overall sales being way down this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC_ Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 The whole training/leisure range is abysmal. Either you can buy something with that awful text on the front or you have a choice of those bloody hashtags. I'd have probably bought a polo or a jacket to show my colours at games but I'm not touching it with a barge pole this season. Frankly I would be embarrassed as a 34 year old man to wear any of it. That money could have gone to the club but instead it's now going to the high street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRed Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Saw the kid's version of this today. It looks truly sh!t. Is it supposed to be "clever" design? Epic failure if so.

He published his biography a few months ago and it's a good read. To be fair he was portrayed very badly when at the time he was a young and actually quite progressive coach, but he lost it in circumstances where the club was a circus anyway. As a result of those clips he was blackballed from the game. He's now a London cabbie. He has lots of interesting things to say about current football on Twitter, although he tweets and retweets literally every 5 seconds and most of it is just about traffic in London or his fares.

ChippenhamRed Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 So @AdamB I see you have released the training gear today. A few questions.... 1. How does such a blatantly terrible design make it onto the shelves? 2. When fan feedback is so obviously terrible, why not have a rethink before releasing a design that is clearly not going to sell well - surely the whole point of the exercise from a commercial point of view at least? 3. In anticipation to the answer to the second question, why not canvass fan opinion before committing to a large order that might actually end up costing the club money? 4. Will the club at least acknowledge the poor feedback and endeavour to ensure something more sensible is released in future? 5. Do fan opinions actually matter when it comes to merchandise that you expect and want fans to buy? I realise this might be somewhat of an overreaction to a training kit, but it does seem to be symptomatic of some horrendously amateur decision making from the club - a broader issue perhaps. Look forward to your answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager a wall of silence until they have to finally admit that the stuff they produced didn't sell that well. Some people will drop forty sheets on a t shirt that looks gash because it helps the club, others will question the merit of the purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we ever had the club announce how many shirts have been sold? I'd doubt we'll ever know other than any anecdotal evidence from shop staff etc - until every kid in Botswana has one next summer.

Cowshed Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Banksy uses a form of stop font. That is nothing like it. More BS from BS. Christ knows what they might get up to with Upfest.

We don't need the club to tell us how many have been sold, just look around the place on a match day and see how many are being worn. Go into the shop and see what's selling and what's being left on the shelves. I have no retail experience but I know they will be left with tons if this, or have they done the clever thing and not ordered much stock? I thought they were expanding the shop, they won't need to now as nobody will be wanting to go in there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget about that your an interesting chap selling clobber to many a Bristol City fan. When you run that professional eye across the pictures what do they tell you about those training tops?

With this training top recognising Bristol’s internationally-renowned urban heritage and Upfest Europe’s largest street art and graffiti festival coming to Ashton Gate at the end of July. Will artists again at Ashton Gate be painting lots of diamonds on walls depicting only the Lord knew what and the wrong formation date for the FC?
