Eddie Hitler Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 It might become a collector's item like Coventry's infamous brown kit. Obviously it's terrible but if you were a Coventry fan you'll wish you'd bought one at the time. Embrace the hideousness; you'll be grateful that you did in thirty years' time when they're going for millions because most of them ended up in landfill.

Spike Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 3 hours ago, Port Said Red said: I do love the idea that some kit designer finishes his design thinking, well there’s a kit that surely everyone will love. I'll tell you from experience, you'll never please everyone and every kit designer has made a kit they were sure people would love that was hated just as they've probably made a kit they weren't happy with that happened to be loved. With hindsight our purple and lime kit (the original) could have gone down very very poorly, instead it's one of the most loved kits we've ever had... go figure.

Nice design though. I think a sensible option for the club would be to have proposed designs modeled on 4 classic shirts from the past - for example some of the ones on here. Got fans to vote on their favourite, the winner gets made into the one available to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted February 18, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 To me the kit should have been a nod to the original kit? Otherwise all a bit random just picking a design similar to something we wore during the last 40 years or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myol'man Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 Why did it even need a sponsor's name on the front? Sponsors change every couple of years, who will even remember what Dunder do? Plain red shirt would have been the obvious design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lancer Scott were still main shirt sponsors though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know somebody that works at the club. I also heard that there is somebody being brought in to manage the shop "properly" and is/was working in this capacity elsewhere, but as of Christmas, was unable to start due to their contract with their current employers. I can't remember if this came from the same person that told me about the stock issues, or if this was someone else, so not 100% of how accurate the details were. And no, I'm not naming sources at the risk of getting them in the shit before anybody asks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piss poor golfing in Malta hence the sponsoring. What happened to their broader sponsorship of the community? Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
