Barrs Court Red Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 They stole their ground, they even stole their song - now it seems the bloc paving soecialists from the wilds of South Glos are trying to steal the colour red! New shirt unveiled with a huge RED sponsor on the front! Forever in our shadow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 As a Bristol City fundamentalist I refuse to visit the gappers' web site. Could someone post an image of the offending shirt on here please? I assume the general 'look' they're going for hasn't change from 'Tesco carrier-bag'?

Super Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Got any pics? Surely they can't have red on the home shirt? That would be hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted July 11, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 They stole their ground, they even stole their song - now it seems the bloc paving soecialists from the wilds of South Glos are trying to steal the colour red! New shirt unveiled with a huge RED sponsor on the front! Forever in our shadow! I know the owner of the company, he entered a raffle at £1k a time and ended up winning twice ! Home shirt and Stand sponsor. His logo is red and to be fair was adamant it was staying that way. Those with a sharp eye will also notice the name at Cardiff / Swansea's grounds, WSM shirt sponsor and also sponsor at Somerset Cricket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Casual Connoisseur Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Can't really see what the fuss is about. I would never wear a football shirt personally, I find it a bit sad, however I actually quite like the away shirt but think the club have been very short sighted in spending all their primark vouchers on kit and not leaving room in the budget for boots. Oh and using a ginger for modelling tut tut, unless it's lily cole! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Do you think so? I think it's rather good. Better than ours. I think its rather good too, certainly more 'adventurous' than our recent efforts of white, then black, then white, then black etc... Its just let down by the badge.

Rudolf Hucker Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 "The away shirt features a plain back, so your name and number will stand out". Obviously couldn't afford to have stripes on the back of the shirt too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZepperin Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 The copycat Inter Milan kit is nice. Edit: I'm colour blind (really). Thought it was blue. Just read it's purple. Still looks OK though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Really? A full topic about their new shirts and the colour of their sponsor? Red is one of the few colours that stands out on multiple colours like blue and white like that... And we say they're obsessed with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DancinDannyD Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I have no problem with a red sponsor, some do. Our very first sponsor Toshiba was a red logo if I recall correctly, and the first year of Design Windows at Twerton was red. The main point of controversy about the home kit is not the colour of the sponsors logo, but the round collar. Not many liking that. The away kit has been very divisive on Twitter, about a 50/50 split between lovers and haters. Personally I like it, better than the usual yellows or blacks you see everywhere these days.

Andy Horsman Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I think their home kit is ok too given that it is fairly traditional and not as garish as some. Doubt the tiny splash of red across the chest is going to induce six fingered hysteria. Away kit is decent too. As stated elsewhere, it is only ruined by the club badge.....

I may be a tad prejudiced but the blue and white quarter thing is up there as one of the worst football shirt designs in the world. I suppose you're stuck with it now though.

towngas Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Ladies & Gentlemen. Why are you so obsessed with the new kit of a club who you no longer see as your rivals? A whole new thread on the morning the new kit is revealed.. Oh dear. Anyway, I'm off to weigh - in some scrap I picked up earlier, then I have to change a wheel on the caravan.

I suppose you're stuck with it now though. Nail on head with the opening 6 words I may also be biased but it's different, unique and instantly recognisable. Take the badge off your kit each season and most people would struggle to identify who it belongs to, take the badge off ours and most will still be able to identify as 'Bristol Rovers'. I wouldn't swap our colours for the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
