Maybe they could have done a short term deal, one season until we then chose long term partners. It does seem they rushed it all a little. I got a Hummel Tee shirt, not massively impressed TBH but it's OK. I've not seen the new kits or training shirts close up, so I wont criticise it. That is a very good point. No one has even got the new training shirt yet apparently it is rubbish quality. This may be true, but hard to judge without actually grabbing hold of one. As I've said, I like that old design and was very impressed when I first saw it on a Programme. It just seems there are no new ideas, it seems whoever designs the kits just goes through someones old photograph collection . If a £50 replica shirt is truly horrendous quality, it’s not unreasonable to assume that a cheaper training top is unlikely to be any better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, if I can personally vouch for other O'Neills leisure/training/sportswear why is the City shirt causing so much anger? Has O'Neills been told to work within a budget? BCFC at fault here and not O'Neills. PS I have no family connection at all with O'Neills. Because it’s absolute crap and they want £50 for it. People are blaming Oneil for the quality and the club for signing up to it. It’s that simple. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Journalist Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 13 hours ago, Ronnie Sinclair said: Could some of this be “brand snobbery” - would the garments get the same critique if made by say, Umbro or Puma, or is a crap shirt simply a crap shirt? I definitely think there’ll be an element of that - but I also don’t think it can be a defence of the club. That’s how society is and if you’re going to move away from bigger brands there’s more pressure to get the product spot on. All that said, it’s worth adding Hummel aren’t exactly the height of fashion and some of the in-house kits were pretty popular - particularly the promotion one, as was the pinstripes kit we wore during the cup run.

Not Banksy Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 They gunna put this awful splat robin on the front of everything are they.. it’s literally a trace of a stock image. Thought the club wanted to act Premier League ready with everything in place but the football on the pitch. Realistically none of us will care about this if we go up.. but these kits/training gear have all been embarrassing so far. Mind blowing that a club as big as ours could look so Sunday league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look the other day to see if I could get a polo or something for my old man for Fathers Day, it was like a ******* jumble sale. Even roverzzz have more more choice and variety on their online shop. As you say, far more choice back in Beryls day. The club clearly have no desire to improve the situation. Found these on another website. Why the club can't do something similar, with the new badge and retro badges, I've no idea.

Hartleysbeard Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 Third kit now on sale. Confirms the changes made to design of sleeve but most notably the much maligned Robin badge is now a patch…one that’s been stuck on! That’s going to look awful once it starts coming away at the edges. It would be interesting to know why this change was made? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe the club take any notice whatsoever in the organisation and certainly to my knowledge are very slow or just don't bother to react to fans suggestions and concerns. Not all the fault of the SC &T more to do with the club and those in positions of power. You'd think the SC&T would challenge the use of the dodgy robin on a first team shirt as a matter of course, wouldn't you...? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Sinclair Posted June 15, 2023 Report Share Posted June 15, 2023 The only thing wrong with that yellow kit is the badge, the usual badge colour coded in green and yellow would look pretty good compared to the monstrosity that is on it (it looks like someone has gone to a dodgy tattoo shop abroad pissed and asked for a robin to be applied and this is what they drew) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the depth of feeling on here with regard the dodgy robin, almost universal dissaproval. I'm not a member so can't raise it, but you are I assume, so could you raise it on my behalf...?
