David Brent Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 3 hours ago, BRISTOL86 said: 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. 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. Can imagine it being very close to that, which I’d be delighted with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Personally love the keeper kits, will likely buy both and maybe even the shorts for training in (not full kit at the same time!) Gained us a fair bit of attention too, I have multiple WhatsApp groups of people all round the country talking about our shirts, nearly all very positive.

BRISTOL86 Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 You'll have to excuse the hideous photoshop job but could have looked so much better IMO especially without the big red square of the sponsor, which I can't be bothered to try and fix!

About time we stopped clinging to a minor achievement 30 years ago IMO!! Okay how about the combination of 14/15? I have no problem with purple and lime being one of our 3 kits each season, usually would probably be our 3rd kit but we’ve said that will be the shirt with peoples names on and so leaves the away shirt. Purple and lime helps add a unique element to our kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Sinclair Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Was the original purple kit unique, as in it lasted three seasons but with three different sponsors? Anyone else remember the reversed version used on rare occasions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider hoss rules Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Personally, I love the purple and lime colour combination - (I still think the one from a couple of years ago with the 'Middlesbrough' stripe was wrong though!) It does 'single us out' of sorts, and is pretty stand out, almost unique dare I say! I would even go so far as to say I wouldn't object if it was the home colours, no matter how jazzy a red shirt is made, there are still numerous other red shirts around, and with the propensity for companies to sponsor multiple teams these days sometimes they can look a bit 'samey'. Norwich, Bournemouth, Cov and even the north river tramps are almost instantly recognisable in their kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Sinclair Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 It seems the original was also worn with green socks on occasions as well, I prefer white myself (Brazil's socks don't match their shirts either and that's a classic look) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
