Ramshankered Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Not sure what all the moaning is about. The away kit is a strong look. They're all nice and minimal which is how a footy shirt should be. Stark contrast to last seasons, all of which were over-designed (whichever designer thought 'We are Derby' on the collar would look good needs to go back to design school!). Less is definitely more. I do agree the sponsor is very distracting though, but buymobile was hardly setting the world alight either. I'm also not convinced by the yellow kit, but again, thunderbird isn't much of a yardstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 No denying how bad the third kit is, it's awful on many levels. It looks cheap, the design is basic and the colour of the sponsor shouldn't be red (purely because it's just looks ***** with the yellow and blue). Give it a blue sponsor and it's acceptable, but the plainness of it just doesn't work with such unappealing colours. Can't have any complaints with the other two though. The home kit is understated and looks great on the team, the away kit is classic Derby away colours and will look smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 The away kit looks totally thrown together.. The pin stripes were thrown on as an afterthought and they couldn't even be bothered to fit the Ram in there properly, and the collar just completes the cheap, sports direct scrubby look. The third kit is better than the away kit. As for the sponsor being "red" oooohhh so what... Was the Bass triangle red? Was the classic Patrick red? Was the Maxwell red? Was sports week red? And I can't be bothered to think of anymore but I guess there is loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Problem with our away kit is that it reminds me of this"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ewtzoa-FC2E/TNbH30tB66I/AAAAAAAAAx4/CnJH0bCZRfA/s400/manu99as_z" alt="manu99as_z"> Umbro Fail.

Leicester Ram Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Couldn't give a toss what colour the sponsor is, I like the sponsor on the Home and Away kit. But on the Third kit it just looks awful and doesn't suit the colour scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I don't mind the sponsor being red. But it's a pants sponsor and being red makes it look like a right show off. HELLO!! I'm JustEat and I've got a Derby shirt attached to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For them it's great and exactly what they want. I'd rather have JustEat than Wonga. And if the club is getting a good deal the it's all good. From a purely shallow point if view it's a pants sponsor.

TomBustler1884 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I think Just Eat is a great business model, the logo is fine and I have no problem them sponsoring Derby. The issue I have is the inability to wear it without making yourself an easy target for abuse if slightly on the larger side! Had two years of skin tight kits, one comes along that larger folk can buy and it's got an advert for junk food on it. Just make it for sale without the sponsor on it! Obese people advertising Just Eat is not a good look for Just Eat anyway!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm JustEat and I've got a Derby shirt attached to me Most brands usually have several colour variants of their logo - for example McDonald's allow white golden arches against blue backgrounds. It'll be the same for JustEat, which leads me to believe they probably insisted on the red logo despite having options that would better suit our kits. And that brings me to why the away kit works better than the others - the navy, cyan, white and red all compliment each other nicely, so there's a much stronger sense of cohesion between the kit design and the logo. I also really like the pin stripes - an classy touch that provides a nice contrast with the simplicity of the home kit. That brings me to why I'm not keen on the third kit - it's as simple as the home kit (so offers nothing new on that front - at least last season's third kit had the yellow stripe), and the yellow and blue clash badly with the red of the logo. Overall not enough thought has gone into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 The idea of Nottingham Forest having a decent footballing side is also just as comedic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red_Dawn Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Not really, we have a good side just half got injured last season. Lansbury, Reid, Hobbs, Cohen, Wilson and Lichaj all top players at this level. Hopefully Fryatt and big Lars will hit the ground running aswell.
