Carey 6 Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 A footballers YouTube channel I watch quite a bit, just posted a new video. About 45seconds into the video, him and the kit man are talking about their new Hummel gear & say ‘it’s definitely better than O’Neills’ Thought it was very apt that that came up at this moment in time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as you say, consistent with their brand - that’s the key bit. Scroll through our social media feeds at the moment and you see red, white, yellow, green, blue and black all represented without any brand consistency. The players are showing up for a signing session in blue, in their home stadium surrounded by fans wearing red. The brand is an absolute mess. Our training wear is like easyjet cabin crew suddenly getting a green uniform. It doesn’t make any sense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had blue on our kits in 1894, 3 years before your lot had a light shade of blue on your kits. We played in blue for our FA cup final. It wasn't until 1930 that you adopted a shade of blue. We've both pretty much always had white. I'm looking forward to us once again using blue as its part of our history. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChubStixx Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 That yellow kit with that eagle thing is horrible. Some of the training gear I've seen is horrible. I'm full expecting the away kit to be horrible. Who designed the new badge? It's just about ok (I think), but it could be so much better. I would be looking to change it. Man, we're desperately struggling in this area... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something at the football club has gone very very wrong and it needs fixing ASAP. The communication has been non existent and that bothers me just as much as the poor range. I’ve no idea why we don’t go for the same colour scheme across both clubs. They have added non-traditional red to their navy and white. If we added navy it would look fine. Both clubs could have the same training wear/jackets just stick a different badge on it. Ideally a better brand than O’Neils but those t-shirts look better than anything the football club has produced so far. Surely we could strike a great deal with a supplier? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Sinclair Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 A Collarwatch™ update - bought the boy his shirt today and Harry Hill indeed wouldn’t wear it himself (this is a 13 years size, with a 20 years collar presumably….) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The badge really doesn’t look right on the kids size shirts either. Small kits need a smaller badge, but they’ve just kept the adults size which then overlaps the pinstripe’s (the badge sits within them on adults). The consistency across the shirts is terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The china kits don’t have proper badges unfortunately, not for the city kits. They are basically printed onto fabric and sewed onto the kit. Other than that they would easily be on par.

That is disgraceful. The badge looks like its been pasted on using Microsoft paint, and the collar is an abomination. I can't comprehend a team in the second division has put this together.
