CyderInACan Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 5 hours ago, RumRed said: Bit subjective really regards colours being the same. Not sure that away kit sales are as important as presenting Bristol Sport as a brand? Can't imagine the club basing many financial decisions on the sale of a couple of thousand shirts. I have no issue with dark blue personally, as an away kit, and don't feel it would 'damage' BCFC at all, we have worn it and it's as far removed from Rovers as Ashton Gate is to the Mem. That dress is definitely white and gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I am not too bothered personally, royal blue is basically Rovers blue, and therefore you are asking for trouble. A large proportion of the fan base won't buy it - therefore you are costing yourself sales and creating an avoidable controversy. The club must know that. Would it not be a better marketing ploy to now describe it as "Icelandic Blue"..?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trueredsupporter Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 I have said it before. Blue is the colour of Rovers and it is also the colour of Bristol. The Gas can keep their small time we womt wear blue but Bristol City are moving on to be a slick professional modern club. Time to ditch all the stupid tribalism and endless anti gas chanting from the atyeo. Support is not section 82 slapping anti gas stickers everywhere saying the Rovers manager has sex with animals.The aggression of the past kept people out of the ground for decades time to embrace the future #makingbristolproud the rugby Bristol Sport blue its all a tiny tiny compromise for the handful for Mr Lansdowns tens of millions he has been pouring in.

SimplyRed Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 City's recent activity in the transfer market has excited fans and it seems there are many looking to buy replica kit. I find it absolutely stunning that a club and business the size of Bristol City cannot formulate a business plan to ensure that all replica kit is available in the summer to supply the demand for replica kit whenever the club reports good news like transfer signings. The club is losing thousands here. The fact that this thread exists, with fans peading for away kit availability dates is testament to that. They should be riding the crest of good news and selling loads of replica kit but, doh!, no away kit available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some clubs haven't officially shown any of their kits yet, Sheffield Wednesday haven't shown any kits (or unveiled all 3 today) so it's not a unique thing for City. You're generally going to have a similar number of fans after a kit each season, and a few weeks won't make the difference between buying it or not, so the club isn't losing (a noticable amount of) money there. The only real difference is perhaps someone birthday or something, but even then there is a good chance of the top being bought at a later date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes much more sense financially to launch the kits a little while apart. Launch the Home shirt and the hardcore kit buyers will buy one. Wait a few months and then the launch of a new kit will probably see them buying again, whereas launching both together is likely to lead to a choice of either or. Personally I really don't get people's impatience with the launch of a new away kit. The only thing that bothers me is STILL not being able to but my son a kit because there are no 3 year ones. Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's outgrown it and you want to sell it then I'd be interested. Nobody in the shop seems to have a clue when the new ones might be in, so that would be next best option until they are available.

I have never agreed and disagreed with a post so much. You are completely correct that some of the stickers (like the DC dog ones) are not funny, damaging and not at all funny. However a re-brand has restrictions in football and I think that this would be too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bleeding football club and not a chocolate bar morphing from a Marathon to a Snickers. There is tradition and tradition is priceless. MK Dons do not have a tradition, aside from the theft of another club's tradition. If you have a tradition you guard it closely. Also, I suspect there is an element of truth in what Dopey gets up.
