Is that a first? OTIB in universal agreement on something. It makes it all the more remarkable that this has been passed by the club. I can't get my head around how something can be so universally unpopular and blatantly terrible, yet someone at the club who is actually paid to make these decisions has gone "yep, that's good" and pushed the button on an order. Amateur beyond belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordofthebling Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Got no real problem with the blue, but that type font and then the stick on initials look like something Sloth made in his basement on his Commodore 64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the dark blue but would prefer red, white and black like last year, but the font is absolute litter. Looks like a 4yo won a competition to design the training kit.

It's not but it's similar. To think somebody got paid for doing that and a bunch of other people got paid for not telling them they're a tit.

Bristol Rob Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 @AdamB Any idea if the training kit will be available in an adult 'fit' without the pre school font on it? Reading the comments a lot of people seem to like the style and colour of the training top, except for one very big detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he could talk us through the club's approval process for new merchandise at the same time. Presumably Ray Charles selects the designs and Stevie Wonder has final sign-off.

Midlands Robin Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 In days gone by, I think people opted for the training top or polo shirt as a cheaper option to buying that seasons shirt. I have certainly done that. Maybe this is a new club marketing theory? Make the cheaper merchandise so god awful your only option is the more expensive shirt. (Or not to buy anything..... woops) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though still think the badge is in the wrong place I still genuinely can't believe that's the actual training top and a 'professional' got paid to 'design' it. It literally looks like someone wrote 'Bristol City' over the top of an actual shirt using MS Paint. Maybe they thought they'd try and flog them to the tourists by getting the Beast Clothing guys to design it. And the badge on the shoulder looks even worse on the one without the writing.
