Monkeh Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Is there really any need at all for fans to be consulted or involved? We will play in red and white at home, something different for our away kit and some fans will like the kit whilst others will hate it. The majority will be somewhere around 'meh, it's a kit' regardless of if there is fan involvement or not. thats my feelings on it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 how many other clubs consult their entire fan base over shirt design out of intrest? The Rovers do for a start - I can show you the telephone box where they do it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Will there be a 3rd kit for teams like Sheff Utd away as we appear to have a plain red (home) and plain whit (away) shirts?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority will be somewhere around 'meh, it's a kit' regardless of if there is fan involvement or not. The majority may not be somewhere around "meh" if a marketing type really cuts loose again e.g Richard Goulds horrowshow, or stripes. Fan led design and voting could easily be a fun and very healthy thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich i e Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 so who would you like the club to consult the Supports club and season ticket holders? or some one who only turns out to big games etc? not being cynical just wondering how far you would like the shirt thing to go, also if you feel strongly about it put it to David Lloydd he will pass it on to the powers that be, In my experience a commitee of 3 is normally the best way to get a good decision. Even better when 2 of those are absent from meetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 The majority may not be somewhere around "meh" if a marketing type really cuts loose again e.g Richard Goulds horrowshow, or stripes. Fan led design and voting could easily be a fun and very healthy thing to do. But an absence of any kind of marketing and somebody at the club just choosing a shirt that looks good would suffice. As the late, great Bill Hicks put it.....If anyone here is in advertising or marketing... kill yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rizzle Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 Oh my days! Just seen the latest sneak peek - kit looks horrific! It looks dated (not retro) to me! We're going to be a laughing stock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running Man Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 The people that have seen it says it looks good, probably best comment after Friday. I like the collar myself, I suppose it all depends how old you are as to whether something is retro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rizzle Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 its gonna look like a school rugby shirt init? Yep! The away strip will probably be on the reverse side and the club will sell the shirts as a 'buy the home kit, get the away kit free' deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the collar myself, I suppose it all depends how old you are as to whether something is retro. Don't like the collar, personally. Think it's too big and bulky. I get that it's a preference thing but much prefer more modern, slick looking kits. As another poster mentioned, i think it will look like your old PE rugby shirt from secondary school! Having said that, i'm not slating the club as like how they have taken this on and listened to the calls from many to have a 'retro' looking shirt. It's just not my cup of tea. Think every one of the sneak peek pics has looked bad. I'm hoping seeing the full thing on Friday will change my mind though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The glimpses of ours don't look anywhere near as nice though. The colour of our new kit looks too bright and orange-y for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRISTOL86 Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 I really like what I've seen so far. Has a retro feel about it which is nice. The sponsor plays a big role in the overall look of the shirt so hopefully it's not something naf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 There's the collar... Not gonna lie, i'm hating this so far.. I'm hoping the red actually looks red and it is just the lighting rather than the orangy-red it looks in the pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
