Odds of an opponent kit clashing with our yellow and red kits are so low. I said somewhere in this thread that I thought that this will happen.

1960maaan Posted September 13, 2023 Report Share Posted September 13, 2023 I've not been bothered about the away kit, but as they have stated there will be one they should at least follow through It looks like the away kit will be launched in time to be valid for around 6 months. It's bad enough they change all 3 kits every year, but when one is delayed this long you do question if it's worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing kids wearing our O'Neil kits alongside other kids (sadly) wearing their Premier League tops really highlights just how crap it is. The fit is terrible and they just look like the bought them in a market on holiday in Spain. My son's team wears Puma and their training wear and kit is infinitely superior to City's stuff. Couple things spring to mind: 1) The kids seem to like it (granted kids are generally idiots, but that’s encouraging still) 2) Even if some fans think our kit is crap, I’d much rather see people wandering Bristol around in a crap city kit than a “good” Manure/L’pool/‘City, kit etc etc 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Monaghan Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 I think @phantomhad a meeting with the club last night. They may have asked them what’s going on. We are a total mess commercially and at the top aren’t we . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Banksy Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Thought they’d use the international break to announce it.. if they don’t and they said the start of September.. that’s pretty odd. Ah well.. all the more reason to move to a proper supplier when this deal runs out… have to say though now the season has started, as long as we win every week they can wear that yellow thing if they like.

Not Banksy Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 Wait… this may be the record for the longest time between a home and an away kit being announced due to the home being released last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish they’d hurry up, my daughter has a season ticket voucher for a shirt. No home kits in her size and the yellow splat robin special looks awful so she’s holding out for a hopefully better away top. The chances of it being both better and having one in her size are probably remote though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand also matters more to older kids and Oneill has zero street cred. 2) Obviously I agree, but producing crap gear does not help with this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How will you encourage people to wear it / buy into supporting the club especially for brand conscious individuals 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
