The hand of RO'D Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) I’d love for us to use an established cheaper sporting brand, someone like Umbro. I’d love 2 fairly basic home & away kits with no stupid down with the kids motifs or splat robins. If JL wants to make an out there third kit be my guest! Just don’t make the first team wear it…ever!

Betty Swallocks Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 I want a 3rd kit with another shite looking robin in place of the badge as I absolutely love the drama and fume that comes along with it. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tin Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 • a reputable kit maker, eg Umbro • bring back the robin badge with suspension bridge • consign the splat to history • don’t let JL anywhere near the process, or anywhere that might allow him to get his crayons out 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nest Egg Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) Definitely move on from retro as it is a trend that has now run its course; I say this as someone with an extensive collection of old City shirts! Plus the next ones to revive would be the Sanderson era of kits and they look crap. I like the away kit being black with purple and lime features; that one we had in 15/16 is a future classic.

BCFCGav Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Well I assume we'll still be contracted with O'Neills, which is fine by me. A slick red home kit, a funky purple and lime away kit (since we have black this season and don't want to be samey), and maybe a nice white third kit since we haven't had white for a bit? All with the new round badge, no splats. Easy, fun, happy days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Get Admiral Sportswear | Official Website of the Iconic Brand to make it. Not with any of these new fancy-dan fabrics, but something that Sultans Of Ping would sing about, that sort of material that was dead popular back in the 70s and left your skin looking like you'd fallen in to a field full of stingers. Gert big collars and players must agree to have either a mullet, a perm or a moustache - fines for non compliance, unless we have a player in their mid 20s who somehow manages to look about 40 thanks to a ban of male-grooming products and a refusal to use sun-cream. That should toughen a few of 'em up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Sinclair Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Umbro would be nice after all these years - even FGR have procured them as their supplier this season. Its not difficult to come up with something half decent but contemporary - red/white/red for home, white/black/white for away and purple/lime/white third does the job amicably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledAjax Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Block red home kit. White shorts. White/fluoro yellow away kit. Some other colour for the third kit. I like purple/lime but am not wedded to it. Badge in the correct place (left breast, none of this central badge rubbish). Alternative logos in their correct places. Not too bothered by manufacturer. No green. All announced/released within a week of each other so we can decide which one we each like the most if we want to buy it. And I agree that we've had enough "nods" to past kits and it would be nice to have some designs that are their own thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Woody Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 Something that size wise fits the average fan, where you can be confident to receive an online order to a t-shirt size you normally have in your drawer and not think I'm a fat bastard :laugh: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 (edited) I agree we need to move away from retro kits (although having said that I would quite like something along the lines of the 1986 Wembley one). I’d like white/black as an away kit and purple/lime for a third kit. Edited September 21, 2023 by Offside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Banksy Posted September 21, 2023 Report Share Posted September 21, 2023 The fact we have 39 games left and are already longing for a new kit says it all in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
