Cardy Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 Quite possibly our worst kit ever and we have had a few shockers over the years. Definitely in the top 3. The badge is an absolute disgrace - what sort of identity is a headless pigeon ffs? Just why?? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t understand why they don’t consult with fans on the design before they launch. If they want to maximise profit they need to sell something fans want to buy. Already from the comments here after just a few minutes, the consensus appears to be that we don’t like the badge, the design is meh and the colour is weirdly pale. Change all that and they’d sell more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally never liked this shirt, and still struggle to see the appeal of it. To me, this kit was bland and uninspiring. But I have to agree with comments already made in this thread that the new third shirt looks washed out, and the badge is a bit of a farse. What does annoy me a little (not so much in this thread, but elsewhere on the forum) is that some people seemed to have made their mind up on O’Neills purely because they’re an Irish/Gaelic supplier, which I think is unfair. As someone who’s dabbled in the Gaelic sports, O’Neills gear has never let me down and certainly is (in my experience) better than TFG. I think that comparison is a bit harsh tbh. That being said, it doesn’t matter too much. Since I have this collection of classics to wear anyway 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartleysbeard Posted March 13, 2023 Report Share Posted March 13, 2023 So the FA website says this: ‘Under the new rules, if a club wishes to make a material change to its club crest, or change its recognised home shirt colours, it must undertake a thorough and extensive consultation process with supporters. A club must also be able to evidence that a majority of its supporters are in favour of any proposed changes (such as via an independently-run poll of season ticket holders, the club’s Community Benefit Society, and supporters that have attended a certain number of home matches).’ Have we got round this on a technicality by having the badge on the back? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The utterly uninspiring design, the fit, the washed-out colour, the horrendous badge…TFG vibes for me. ….compared to the Hummel Robin top…good grief. And yes I know Hummel let us down…but that doesn’t change the fact that everything looks cheap by comparison. Based on what I’ve seen, I wish we’d done what Coventry did and resolved the supply issue with Hummel. I think if we hadn't played Man City in the cup then we would still be with Hummel. I'm guessing obviously but I don't think Hummel could supply the kit with the extra sponsors on for the cup game so were rapidly dropped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you care enough about a football team to contribute to an online forum dedicated to it, it’s not unreasonable to have an opinion on the identity and appearance of that team, of which the kit is a key component.

Well, some reasons why a good quality, well designed shirt is important:- * extra one percent performance from players feeling good about what they’re wearing. * extra cash generated from shirt sales * Club image to wider audience * longevity of the shirt for purchasers Thats just off the top of my head. Sure there are many other reasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes these are a reference to the FAs new rules on heritage protection. These were brought in earlier this season. The White Paper suggests that the Government thinks this is sufficient protection. I cannot find the full new rules published anywhere though, so have no idea what they actually say beyond the press releases. Have you got a copy?
