Bridgford Ram Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 It can't be put into place until the start of next season I am afraid but I have thought of a couple of things the club could do to improve it's image and relationship with the fans. Both of these are inspired by the NFL I am watching at the moment. Firstly the club should have a fully pink 3rd kit to be worn on the nearest away game to Breast Cancer awareness week. I think this'd be a great seller amongst the fans and a percentage of the sales could go to the charity. Maybe even have Cancer Research as a one off sponsor (if Just Eat allow). Secondly the club should allow fans to vote for a retro design for the away kit. Offer a short list - perhaps the amber Patrick kit design, the blue check Maxwell kit, maybe the yellow Puma kit (all with Just Eat as the sponsor).

Will Hughes Hair Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Happy to support breast cancer, not sure about a Pittsburgh themed retro shirt though. I vote Mel builds a replica of the Vikings fixed roof (1.1billion USD) stadium we can fill 66,665 right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 If it's that light Palermo pink I'm ok with that. Not that garish pink that Everton had though. Considering it's a men's football team and most of the crowd are men I'd rather see all the players with moustaches in November, bearing in mind that breast cancer research receives a hell of a lot more funding than prostate cancer research. No reason they can't do both though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric the half a ram Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I've thought for the last couple of years that for the game nearest to remembrance Sunday, the just eat logo should be changed so that the red is in a poppy shape with the words 'just remember' in it! People would still get who the sponsors were, but it would also send.another message out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like a retro looking third kit maybe based on the original colours and if it possible have it released at the start of a sponsorship so it can last 3 years. Make it the quality of rugby tops and charge an extra £5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 I agree firmly with the cancer researched based kit. Anything supporting a charity I'm well supportive of.Like stringer bell said above it would have to be a lighter shade of pink fit to work well. Not so sure on the retro design kit though because how would you get fans to vote on it? You would just get fans from other teams hijacking it and deliberately choosing the ugliest kit, like we did on this forum if I re-call correctly a while back with the Millwall kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems reasonable to me that you have to be a customer to vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Love the breast cancer awareness pink kit idea - that would be a very cool and worthwhile statement. I sponsored my local under 18's team last year and made them wear a pink nike kit - it looked frikkin awesome but the lads hated it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa Bay, but only because in my three trips to the US (all to Florida / Disney) the only NFL city I have been to was Tampa. I didn't quite realise how bad they were when I picked. How about you?
