Hartleysbeard Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 38 minutes ago, kmpowell said: My two trains of thought on this... 1. The club have applied to the FL and got permission which is granted for special cases such as anniversary’s, occasions etc or, what I think is the more likely... 2. The club have absolutely no intention of ever using the white robin shirt and have instead declared the purple and lime kit to the FL, the purple and lime shirt has the crest and is to be revealed tommorow. The white shirt is just a cynical marketing ploy that enables them to sell more shirts... I don't believe there's anything in either the FA or EFL regulations that prevent a club from using different crests on the home and away shirts. The regulations simply state that clubs must declare their colours to the league. I like the kit. Yes, I prefer the away kit and yes I prefer last season's home shirt...but it's a nice bright red and the badge really pops on that white banner. Ok, so it's a bit like a 'boro kit, but aren't kits a variation on a theme?! #COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarksRobin Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I hope they do a plain white training tee shirt with the robin crest. Perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 It’s, surprise surprise, red and white! There are only so many different designs that can be done with a basically red shirt with white trim. People who buy football shirts will buy it because it’s new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 It’s fine. Not the best perhaps but fine. As for looking like a Boro kit, well most shirt designs look like some other club. If all red like Liverpool, red shirt white shorts Manchester United, Swindle etc. Not always, but mostly, Boro’s white band was lower on the shirt. It is the shade of red, the sponsor and club crest/badge that sets it apart. As for the two badges, provided they don’t get into trouble, City have got it right for me. The primary shirt, the home shirt, has the Bristol coat of arms where it belongs. We are Bristol City not the Bristol Robins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSSEL85 Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Uhh average at best. Last seasons was much nicer in my opinion. Be interesting to see the sales comparison for Home versus Away shirts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 I'm a coat of arms guy but the away shirt is a better shirt this season, black and white works with a chest stripe, the white on red design looks meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLionLad Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 It probably looks better in the flesh.......well, you know what I mean. The width of the white stripe looks to be irregular, which messes with my OCD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
