Admin Ian M Posted February 24, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Won't be any supply issues if noone wants to buy the kit. Outside the box thinking from the club. Well done. 2 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know they'd started supplying football kits but their GAA stuff is quality. I have jerseys from almost 20 years ago which are still in great condition. Don't mind them calling it soccer. As View from the Dolman says, we have our own football code. Soccer is an English term anyway, not an Americanism. Second this, their quality has always been excellent for GAA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 WHAT IF... this is all just a conspiracy and we're playing an absolute masterclass because we need the money from shirt sales now so it fits in a season earlier for FFP?

Jeez Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Not an aspirational Brand by any stretch, but the launch video implies all made in UK. If so the club should be applauded for supporting UK manufacturing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baba Yaga Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Hoping they stay unbeaten tomorrow or the new kit will be blamed. In principle I don't really like pinstripes but think they have done quite a good job on the design, I think it looks better than the Bristol Sport one a few years back. Liking the sound of a yellow and green away kit too. Personally I think it's better to have a smaller brand where you have more freedom on the designs, makes sense for JL too if it's true he likes quite a bit of input on designs, and I guess if we are one of O'Neills biggest customers then in theory we should get a bit more respect than what was given by Hummel. Interesting how we have gone this way mid season and Coventry have signed up for longer with Hummel, things seem more laid back at that club might explain Kasey Palmer seems to be settling ok up there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any imports have been made massively more difficult from Europe so using someone from the UK would make sense. Even though thanks to everything even that isn't easy.

RedM Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 2 hours ago, Tom said: I think Pink shirts always sell well, as do the multicolour ones, so it's a decent financial decision. I haven't bought a kit in years but am seriously considering the feathers goalkeeper kit. I only bought the pink training kit this year as I didn't like any of the shirts. Now I want both of these keepers shirts. I'm also wondering what the training wear and second and third kits will be like. Surely we will have a kit clash away before the end of the season and so will have to reveal the alternative as we can't wear the current ones.

TBW Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Worth considering... If your U12 has a ST. They're going to want the new kit now but you only get the new kit with your ST at the start of next season. Nice and awkward for parents.

Spike Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Just seen the kits, first time in a very long time that I've been disappointed in our kits.

ExiledAjax Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Percy Pig said: I like it other than the sponsor not being embroidered or stuck on. That detailing makes it look a bit like a fake from a Spanish cornershop But the design is mint and the keepers kits are lush. If we pull off a decent yellow and green away kit then mores the better! From the perspective of a colourblind fan a yellow/bright green away kit would be excellent. Block red home, fluoro yellow/green away, and then do whatever you want with the 3rd kit. Should mean we can have a good kit clash with almost anyone else. Edited February 24, 2023 by ExiledAjax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 I quite like the kits. For me the home one is better than what we had before. I didn’t like the collar or the white sleeves, it just wasn’t City to me. I absolutely LOVE the pink GK one though 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but surely he only started a couple of weeks ago and the supply issues then the distribution problems were clear from earlier in the season. I can't believe this hasn't been on the cards for months? Can you really design and manufacture kits in only a few weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dredd Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 Interesting question Is it better for us to have a decent named brand and have a template kit but potentially better more desirable training/leisurewear that people will want to buy or A smaller company who will give JL more scope to design us something individual (whether or not this is something he should be doing as chairman is for another day) and maybe sell more actual replica shirts? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted February 24, 2023 Report Share Posted February 24, 2023 I don’t wear replica shirts these days; I leave that to the kids. But what chairman gets involved with kit designs? JL makes us look tinpot IMO. Radio silence from him on the issues that matter, but don’t worry he’s been locked away with his crayons again. Leave it to the professionals, Jon. 3 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
