Offside Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I like the kit. Still not sure about the badge and it looks awful on the back of the jacket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to know all about it, so if not you should get involved Yes, Ole does the South Bristol clothing, which is extremely popular and well designed. City could learn a few tricks.

Fjmcity Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 The first BS kit will always win imo but this runs it pretty close, though for me the pin stripes probably sneak in second the hastag kit (not for the hashtags per say) was a blip. I think I have it inextricably linked with that Tomlin player *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hoping for some much nicer jackets and tops, JL has been teasing some of the range in various interviews and some of it looked a bit like the Nike Tech range.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Imagine how good it would look if that robin ‘outline’ was the whole badge, rather than the ms paint copy of the Brentford one we ended up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I think youth shirts have gone up a fiver? £35 now, previously £30 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLionLad Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I was ready to buy the jacket as it looked pretty smart and modern.....and then I saw the back of it. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshtonPark Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 People are missing the point with the giant robin on the back, its not been done to make the jacket look better its so when the players are wearing it any photos from behind will have the robin on too. They have to try and get the "brand" out there etc, they probably dont care at all if people are going to buy the jacket or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely no deal could beat making it yourselves? ie. you control entire supply chain and means of distribution. I can’t imagine many teams outside the top-6 get huge amounts of cash for the shirt manufacture - the big bucks is the shirt sponsorship isn’t it?

Olé Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 4 hours ago, Tinmans Love Child said: You seem to know all about it, so if not you should get involved I wouldn't say I'm an expert for one minute but you pick up experience along the way and sometimes you can look at something objectively and see the mistakes. Printing or embroidering is an absolute minefield - you are trusting a third party to apply the same care and attention to a design as a designer - they won't. Many just buy machines that do the job automatically and stick some novice in charge of it, failing to understand that skill is still required to get the right outcome (not my view, the view of printers and embroiderers I've spoken to). To be honest the production for Bristol Sport has been top notch, which is why my point was that hopefully these photos today are just using the old (terrible) samples they used for the unveil two months ago, though I still think it's a shoddy way to advertise new kit. Differences between the badge and the designers graphics are embarrassing, nothing is aligned, it's an OCD nightmare. Unfortunately printing and embroidering applies each colour as a layer and if you don't line them up perfectly, elements of the design are not in the right place. That's what has happened here with "BRISTOL CITY". I would be appalled if they were actual final mass produced items that will be going on sale or worse worn on a football pitch. I'm appalled the club even use photos of them. I'm nothing at all relative to Bristol Sport but sometimes I just have a feeling we have people in roles at the club who are inexperienced and get carried away and starry eyed without having any in-built quality filter. You have to be your own worst critic - the design agency City used would be. I receive and return stock if I see it's not properly done. I've had to write off stock for this reason. I'm still clinging onto the hope the club are just using their old samples, or even photo mock ups using their old samples, as others have pointed out. For a start clearly they have none of the kit in yet or it wouldn't simply be pre-order... like I said, supply chain can be a minefield. Big brands are increasingly using local hand printers in London and in smaller runs because quality is better. To your other point, I would love to help the club believe me, but I'm unqualified and I run a completely unrelated business that takes up most of my time. However it's not about me helping, these aren't complicated steps, it's just about care and attention - in ANY line of business you need someone experienced and disciplined enough to not simply "wing it" and perform quality control. Excuse the essay but it's a subject I'm passionate about. Brand is everything, so why spend a fortune on expensive design consultancy and then knock out poorly produced reproductions and PR.

Like you touched on, if it was the actual design to be sold there would be a clearer indication of when they would actually be available to buy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Sinclair Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I don’t buy football shirts anymore (I buy them for my boy instead and stick to the training wear) but that one is superb. The back of the tracksuit top is grotesque though, I hope the away version is a better one like last years black one, which is a thing of beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
