Jerseybean Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Like the shirt and it’s significance so have ordered mine Also guessing there ain’t going to be any new signings or at least any major new signings announced today as the launch of the shirt would have been linked.

Gifford Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 It’s ok. I think the little robins on the stripes are a bit too much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Watts Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Announcing a new signing (or a contract extension) at the same time as the shirt would have diluted the key message delivered with the unveiling. I don't think having existing players do the unveiling means anything at all personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think having existing players do the unveiling means anything at all personally. This is a good point actually, agreed. The kit this year definitely has a key message and honouring an important part of the club's history. Announcing something like a contract extension could actually be seen as quite offensive to the eight.

Phileas Fogg Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Been a rare good run from the club in terms of news. Positively received signing in Chris Martin - pretty tasteful reveal too, the twitter admin only went OTT once or twice Fairly unanimously accepted resolution to the ST issue Positively received kit and nice launch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 4, 2020 Report Share Posted September 4, 2020 Seems a decent kit. Like the AG8 touch. I've been a bit wary of the club/Bristol Sport in the past seemingly airbrushing aspects of history- this was a notable and very nearly dark period in our history- a world away from the shiny Bristol Sport- so fair enough on that.

Pedant alert.....sorry....I agree with that, except is wasn't "very nearly" a dark period. It was a dark period. We just happened to come through it, thanks in a large part to the Eight.

I was intrigued to see why the topic was hot. Thought something interesting may have happened, but no, just people talking about if they like the design of a shirt that the vast majority will never own or wear. I do genuinely find it weird when I see adults wearing football shirts though. Why do people feel the need to display which team they support? Surely attending games and supporting the team will suffice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I wouldn't buy one, I quite like the training wear for the gym, but it doesn't really matter to me what people do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The commercialisation of this sorrowful chapter of our history doesn’t sit well with me otherwise. That was my first thought. Surely they must have received something.
