Ronnie Sinclair Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 A club at this level should not be wearing guff like O'Neill's - a lot of the lower league Scottish sides seem to wear it and that's where it belongs. It comes to something when the days of Bristol Sport branded kit is now seen as halcyon. No messing about, Umbro branded red/white/red for home, white/black/black away and purple/lime/white third job done 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 I wouldn't mind us coming up with something inventive. I definitely don't want a template shirt, and certainly not Adidas who had no interest in supplying us as clearly shown by some sizes not arriving until March (and they were still sold full price), not blue which when worn in the last 50 years has proved a bad omen and for those of us not with the body of a racing snake a good range of sizes generously cut.

Missed this post first time around. I remember the article in question. From memory it wasn't just the shirts up for vote but the entire kit, and the red and white halves were complimented with a mirror image of red and white halves on the shorts, making it look like quarters.

Baba Yaga Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 Looked at Irish league clubs for clues but my only find was that last seasons collar style is taking over their league at the moment... Hopefully this year and things not being so rushed it means o'neills can do some nice kits, thought the black kit from last season was good even if our record was poor in it. g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted May 14 Report Share Posted May 14 It's not the style so much, as the quality. Our kit looked so poor when we played Leeds. Like something out of Brentford Nylons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1989 version wasn't a bright yellow either (I had one it was my first City shirt) I always thought it was a weird stick to beat the club with, the colour matched what it was trying to replicate - the oddity was the sock mismatch originally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved that shirt, but according to this site we only ever wore it once, maybe twice if you count the adidas effort though that was never meant to be a retro re-make that was just their design template I think? http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Bristol_City/Bristol_City.htm Would we ever do a Bedminster remake? Or were they a completely different team and nothing to do with us? There's only so much you can do with a red shirt I guess, I wouldn't mind seeing a return to white socks with red tops.

The rhubarb and custard kit? Yuck. Plus, too similar to our home kit. White - black - white as second. All green as third. Really deep green. Not ******* lime.

Some of City's past shirts were a swine to get over the head with no give in the neckline. I hope whatever the new design there is ample room around the neck.
