I’ve said before that the only logical reason for this is that we’ve driven them down to a ridiculously low cost.. and the “quality” reflects this. Bring back Bukta!!!!!

Shorts made from different material to shirt and socks. My point being...in this day and age it shouldn't be a problem. Technology has moved on. This O'Neal's stuff looks worse than cheap Chinese. Yeah I remember how they used to be. I was joking. This kit is embarrassing in 2023. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing will ever beat that surely. Am I the only one who doesn't mind Splat Robin? Although I agree with others - it shouldn't be 'the badge' and the lack of consistency in terms of branding...having said that, why not just have the same robin as on the actual club badge?

Probably others I have erased from my memory. I thought Bristol sport made some nice enough stuff. My away kit from 19-20 is still in good nick now, 4 years on. I'm going to buy one of the kits this year as is my own little tradition, I'm still holding out hope the quality isn't quite as wanting as others suggest. The design for the home kit is actually quite nice, but granted, if it falls to pieces after two washes that won't really matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Monaghan Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 Okay, I'm going to say it. I actually like some of the training kit! I feel dirty for saying it. They have added some accessories items which look okay too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is I like the design of the home kit.. and don’t hate the design of the 3rd kit (if Splat was swapped for the actual badge) but all of the kits just fit so bad.. all baggy in the wrong places.. don’t look like football kits.. throwback to the early 2000’s in terms of fit. so even if the away kit design is nice… it won’t fit right. And maybe the hold up is JL sowing badges over the splat robin on the away after the backlash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 8 hours ago, Taz said: Completely different colour. It's almost as if the socks were an after thought, that's the only colour material they had left, and someone went "yeah close enough, use that!" The poor colour of the shirt might not have been so bad if it matched the socks. As it is, it just looks like Scotty forgot to bring them along with him, and had to rush out to sports direct to get the closest match just in time for the game. Or the only other answer is that it’s intentional, for some weird reason. Someone must have thought it would look good?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closely you can see that it’s been cut from somewhere else and placed on top. They used the polygon lasso, so you can see the straight edges where they cut it - they didn’t even bother to select it properly. My educated guess is they enlarged it too as the black in their selection is lighter and more pixelated… that and the height of the badge is almost the width of the neck Edited July 27, 2023 by SydneyCity 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the upcoming blue away kit, it really does show the lack of understanding with the majority of fans. Even take for example, the clubs post over yesterdays event, ended in “youuuu reds” yet all the players were plastered in blue, no red on any players at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
