Many seem to love black away kits/third kits but I always felt it must be hard to pick players out on an evening game. Where as the yellow really stands out. It might help if the undershirts & socks were the same colour as the shirt . Looks amateur at best Edited March 15, 2023 by steviestevieneville 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthStand Sandwich Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Not as amateur as Weimanns shirt being ripped due to the material being so crap… scotty replaced it with a plain shirt with no number and name on the back…. The shirts really do look so cheap… the logos on the shirt look like the sort of print you get from a Turkish market selling bad replica football shirts… 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 In the flesh the fluoro was enough that the shirt was really visible. Our players were distinct. Black numbers stood out well. Bad things - I did miss the badge. Green shorts are just rubbish. No football kit should be solid green. The mismatched yellows of the shirt, socks and underlayers looked poor.

Bazooka Joe Posted March 16, 2023 Report Share Posted March 16, 2023 Those washed-out yellow shirts look more thread-bare than our squad. Looks like the socks took up most of the yellow dye available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost the shirt I was hoping for (badge atrocity aside), but yeah, the socks make it look like gravity has caused the colour to drain right out of the shirt!

My memory suggested the 1991 version of the yellow and green kit had a different shade for the socks too, and this photo proves my memory is still working!

(Can't remember any letters in the sports pages of the Evening Post complaining mind you) There’s green in that shirt though . There isn’t in the new one . I don’t buy shirts anymore but I just think it reflects poorly on the club . Gone back to how poor the last Bristol sport kit was. It’s good that we have a say in the design but this really does look like JL has full say . I’d rather a template kit by Umbro than Jon & his etch-a-sketch . How easily was wiemann’s shirt ripped last night as well . As Richie Benaud would say on twelfth man. Reeeaaallly piss poor effort that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion is the same as many others - the new "badge" could have been swapped with the club badge that is appearing on the back.

alexukhc Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 14 minutes ago, Slacker said: I have noticed that. Why do they do it? Players generally cut holes in their socks in order to reduce pressure on the calf muscles, which are often restricted by the form-fitting, snug nature of the garment. For players who have bulging leg muscles, socks can prove particularly restrictive, causing difficulties with effective bloodflow and circulation, as well as breathability. Therefore, players will often move to cut up their socks, in order to remove the problem and help improve their game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
