ExiledAjax Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 1 hour ago, Midlands Robin said: The goal keepers kits are an absolute monstrosity, there's a mistake in the design of the flags around the neck of the away shirt, and apart from being an unpopular sponsor due to the gambling business, their logo looks horrendous on the shirts. This is going really well so far. Is it that the flag for "F" has the colours reversed? Should be a red diamond on a white field? Just used what's shown on this website and that looks like the mistake. I didn't get my semaphore badge at scouts so correct me if that is wrong. http://www.beaufortonline.com/nautical-flag-guide/ 57 minutes ago, Bristol Rob said: What is this flag mistake? I read something earlier, but I didn't really understand it. The press release says the following and the shirt has the flags set out below. "The away shirt includes bespoke semaphore flags across the inner neck. These flags spell ‘Bristol City Football Club’ in maritime flag alphabet, referencing the city’s rich nautical heritage."

Red-Robbo Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 OK, so I'm no fashion guru, but I met up with my daughters tonight. They are fashion-driven teens. The first thing they wanted to talk to me about was the new City kit. My worst fears were confirmed. They were howling with laughter at the designs. Gleefully reading out the absolute coating the jerseys are getting on Twitter. "They look like shirts a 6-year-old has drawn to put on the wall of his nan's house," Robbette #1 said. At least I don't have to bother buying them any this season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read something earlier, but I didn't really understand it. @ExiledAjaxhas it spot on. On the word "Football" the colour scheme they've used for the Flag F is back to front. The international maritime signal flag for the letter F is a red diamond on a white background. The flag on the shirt is a white diamond on a red background.

SecretSam Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 All that anticipation about Hummel kits, and so far we've had a disgusting '90s tribute away kit and then two acid-trip/market hippy shirt GK kits I dread to think how ghastly the home kit will be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dredd Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 One thing that bugs me (not so much with the keepers kits) is our constant need in the last few years with only a couple of exceptions is to produce a kit that is a modern version of one of our old kits. The only exceptions since (and including) the promotion season is last years, and the one with the stripe across the middle. Maybe they sell better, I don’t know.

Dredd Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Also, judging by the wallpaper backgrounds the club are using on the fixtures etc we are getting the red version of the away kit for a home shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The away shirt has same template as one or two designs but doesn't look too bad to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record the V bit in the middle looks better darker as on Boro’s home kit ... I do wonder why we didn't match our badge with the strip colour like they have on their away shirt.

BRISTOL86 Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Really hope the home kit is the same 'textured' pattern of the away kit, but obviously in red and white, like this IMO home and away kits should be identical aside from the colour scheme....just bothers me when they're not. And it's really annoying that they couldn't make the "M" box of the sponsor white on the away kit, like they have on the home GK kit. Would look so much cleaner. 2 minutes ago, InCyder said: I do wonder why we didn't match our badge with the strip colour like they have on their away shirt. Yep, another reason why the logo would have been SO much better if it was just the robin outline and not the hideous child's version of the Brentford badge that we ended up with. Could easily just be colour coded to the kits without changing anything about the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nest Egg Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 I think this is the best kit we have ever had and would love for it to be revived at some point. I have started collecting our old 90s kits and this is by far the best looking one in the flesh out of the ones I have (home kit with the black lines referenced above and the Thorn Security purple and lime). And no this is not my own photo and I can confirm that I am not a mannequin with a giraffe's neck. However knowing this club recently we could just end up waiting five weeks for our 'new home kit' to just be the training top with the sponsors having been crudely drawn on in permanent marker by Mark Ashton!

Leveller Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 I can’t remember ever really liking a City kit for its own sake. I suspect football kit designers are all partially sighted and employed for charitable reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally loved the Umbro diamonds down the sleeves from years ago, but never took to the stripes over an Adidas shoulder or the Admiral emblem down the sleeves in the DW era.
