ExiledAjax Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Anyone who's on Twitter. Just make sure to @ Jon Lansdown in your negative comments. It's his project, his hobby, and no one at the Club is going to tell him it's crap, so it's on us to do that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsham Alf Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Went into the club shop today & seen the new kit on sale. Oh dear - it’s just so naff & cheap looking. £50 for a shirt - I genuinely wouldn’t buy it at a tenner. I get that the Hummel uk distributor has gone under but this O’Neill kit is tragic. Commercially we are a million miles off it under Jon Lansdown. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) People’s comments on the quality are every bit as bad as feared. The club’s decision to move away from Hummel - when Coventry were able to renegotiate a new supply deal - is starting to look like a dreadful own-goal. No point securing a reliable supply chain if there’s no demand. Edited April 22, 2023 by ChippenhamRed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezo Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Went and had a look today, bits of fabric falling out of seams and bleeding colours on the rubber badge - worst quality shirts I have seen I think. I can't believe people have bought it let alone for £50! Edited April 22, 2023 by Pezo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he took a lot of credit for the new badge and spoke afterwards about the process but is he still involved with kit design etc?

Probably not, but everyone loves to bash him, so. “Jon and his crayons!” Did a great job with the badge IMO. I agree the new kits are AWFUL, but we hardly have him praise when the Hummel kits were the best we’ve seen (again, IMO).

It all goes through him. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the new badge is still horrendous and I wish we'd bin it off asap 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 As an aside I have only just noticed (watching MOTD) that virtually all players shirts are now worn outside their shorts, and even seem to be cut short, or is it me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cideredulwich Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Bears are Umbro. Surely would have been easy to extend that deal. Better quality in kit and training gear. Surely would lead to better sales? The O’Neill a kits look cheap but that training gear is something else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthStand Sandwich Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Alright Jon, we know you have to fill your time doing stuff at the club (anyone give him a job outside of Bristol city please?)… but stop recreating city shirts from yesteryear… it’s been done to death…. Thankfully there’s a market for vintage original gear. Leave it to the professionals -ie Hummel, Umbro, adidas etc (template or no template) it’ll look a 1000% better than the O’Neill shite 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Yellow is certainly the 3rd. We had to bring it out because of the kit clash when we played Luton away a few weeks ago. Luton play in orange with blue/black shorts. We couldn't play in our red, fair enough but why not the 2nd kit. I can't think it will be orange, so maybe it's the shorts that clash, so possibly black? But saying that I've seen lots of teams playing in the same colour shorts recently. My point is, why put out the yellow (3rd) kit against Luton, what is it about the away kit that clashed, unless it simply wasn't ready? My guess is that it will be a white/Red reverse of the new home one, possibly with black shorts? But it's just a guess based on the retro stuff John seems to like. Personally I think it's the worst collection of shirts/training wear we have had for years. At a distance the red shirts look ok on the players but that about it. It looks cheap and fake. Sad that this was our best option and we are stuck with it for months of this season and all next at best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
