Do think people are a bit stupid asking for adult sizes without the sponsor though and replaced with 'Robins'. Looks very childish with that on the front and you'd be paying for a full priced kit that isn't the actual kit. Nobody really expects a release of adult sizes like this right? On the contrary; far more people would buy it with no advertising whatsoever. And if 'Robins' looks childish then what does that say about our nickname? And you are even called Robin; Total and utter nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate sponsor names on shirts - especially a betting company. Again, money talks loudest with major sponsorship deals. Also think "Robins" is a stupid nickname: there must be dozens of clubs nicknamed "The Robins". Cheltenham and Swindon spring to mind, Charlton, too. Why? Cos their shirts are red - like the robin's chest! Geddit? Dohhhhh. Might as well call us the "Pillarboxes", or "Warning lights". I'm liking the suspension bridge on the away shirt, though: now this is unique to, and representataive of, Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Team In Keynsham Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Hopefully this season is the end of the line for this particular horror show of a colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the first option the club looked at, with the tops and bottoms intergangeable to give a number of different purple and lime combinations. The club rejected this idea as the sponsor again wasn't happy that there was not enough room for their name and the club thought the purple wasn't the right shade. The players raised concerns about the amount of waxing that would be required to wear this ( although one or two said their current personal grooming regime would be sufficient! ) Juts a shame that it seems unlikely that we''ll be signing this Ola fella, but think a goalie is more important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 White kit is only decent one. Purple one is truly shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Robin Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 The worst one, IMO. I like purple & lime, but I guess these colours don't suit the style of the shirt (bad chromatic contrast between the band and the rest of the shirt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would certainly serve to distract any opposition player bearing down on goal too if she was dressed like that. I doubt she could do it on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke though.

Meh Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 I am a bit meh on this one. I am sat here now in last seasons purple and lime shirt thinking I look the dogs nob and thinking this is one of the best shirts produced in a while but I think the lime chest on the new one is too bright. I love the vibrant red of the home kit and the vibrant purple of the away but that lime needed dulling down I feel and is too much. Overall pleased though. 3 kits all with the same general look and feel and obviously for a fan born in the 70s who grew up mainly in the 80s developing my love affair with city - loving the white 3rd kit and THAT badge. Loving the fact I have another birthday coming up in July and the darling daughter has pre-ordered that for my pressie !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She definitely a "keeper" ! Could she do a wet Tuesday night over here in Fenland though - Ive got a dry towel to hand if that would help, along with an 21 year old lad and a set of jump leads?

MC RISK77 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Purple and lime needs to be condemned now...yes I get the history with the tinnion goal but just a horrible colour match. Love going back to the white away kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love going back to the white away kit I think its probably run its course for a few years. Its been great for last 3 seasons or whatever it is but the reason it was so good before was because it was used like 20 years after the first time. Personally I love the first one they brought back the best in 2014 I think it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I thought last year was a great year kit wise. I bought the home kit rather than the away one but thought they were two excellent kits. Last year's home kit - just based on design and taking nostalgia out of it - might be my favourite kit we've had. This year I'm not to enthused. I'd go 3rd kit, away kit, home kit if I had to put them in order but neither home nor away excite me. I might end up buying a 3rd kit or I might not. Still, the club can't please everyone every year. And if we have a great season I'll love the kits for the memories regardless of what I think now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for you traditionalists that I'm not a mad Asian billionaire because I'd have us playing in Purple and Lime at home and I'd lie to you lot that it was considered ' lucky ' in Bedminstan . Then I'd get us promoted to the Prem with Colin and Holloway as his assistant. You'd love me . My QPR supporting flatmate asked me a couple of days ago how I'd react if the club announced purple and lime as our home kit. My honest answer was I'd be delighted! Let's hope for everyone else's sake neither of us finds ourselves in a position where we're wealthy enough to buy the club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we had tried something a bit different than the home and away designs. Maybe next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
