Wolfie20 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The logo's crap and ruins the kit no matter what the style or colour is. It's not what it says, just how it's designed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I really like the colour but unfortunately all I see is the air hostess neckline. It's a v-neck for men like me who don't want to show their unfashionably hairy chests Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I've been wanting that V-neckline for years. Let me just have this one please fellas.I really like it, always someone who slags it off every year though. Can't please everyone. That said I liked the purple kit on 2011 (when Shackell was last here....) but by the end of the season it looked crap. Now if you want to talk sponsor clashes, it doesn't get worse than Buymobiles.

AmericanRam Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It's a solid shirt.Will we have a new third this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Anyone else find it weird that all three players are wearing Nike boots in the promotional poster?good point. Grant has nuke gloves on too. Is there some sort of secondary sponsorship deal with Nike, or so Umbro just not make that stuff. Ever noticed how there's never any other cars in car adverts?

AshfieldRam Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Really like it! I'll admit I was hoping for something a little different but overall I really do like it.can't really see much need for a 3rd shirt now but I'm sure the club won't miss the financial opportunities that a 3rd kit would bring. On a more geekier note, I doubt we'll get all 3 kits on Fifa this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 It's a solid shirt.Will we have a new third this season? Yeah they asked Daveo to model it when he had his day out with Mel Morris but he refused saying it was crap. Just waiting for the players to go back for another photo shoot now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTedd Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The logo's crap and ruins the kit no matter what the style or colour is. It's not what it says, just how it's designed.to be fair to them, I think they've listened to feedback and simplified the design this year. No '.co.uk'. It's got to have a sponsor, at the end of the day, so you can't get much more simple than a red box with some clear white writing in it. I'd hate to have some over complicated design that completely over powers the kit. I think they've done the best they can with what they've got. Mans some pulled up the stats a while ago that our sponsor has wen red more often then not since we've had sponsors. A red sponsor is as much a part of our kit as the black and white. There's even been many times that we've had a red trim. So there is no need to force the sponsor to be monochrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Players have their own individual boot sponsorships and probably at least 80% of players in the world have their boots done by Nike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Players have their own individual boot sponsorships and probably at least 80% of players in the world have their boots done by Nike.Indeed. Still, you'd expect them to be able to find first team players who wear Umbro boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Indeed. Still, you'd expect them to be able to find first team players who wear Umbro boots. I read somewhere that Nike apparently catch players when they're young and go around youth academies across the world handing out free boots in exchange for signatures. Mostly top players who have other deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
