Of course he didn't, he signed off this year's designs under the existing contract. If you're trying to suggest Mel didn't put enough money into the contract to allow us to have a "better" kit (whatever that is in your eyes), I would suggest that it is much more likely that Mel would have been less frugal on contracts like these than our new owner will be when it's his turn to negotiate the deal!

Alty_Ram Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Well seem to have the full range of shirt-based emotions from having a private moment to projectile vomiting 😁 I like our home shirts to be fairly simple and I was a bit worried that it may be really flashy or gaudy but I actually rather like it. A few little details to add some interest but basically a fairly classic white shirt with a proper Ram badge on it, not some new gimmick badge set in a circle with a coat of arms or some nonsense. The sponsor logo is quite large but since they have gone with black for the majority of the sponsor logo, I think it actually benefits from the small hints of subtle pastel colours, otherwise it might be a bit bland. A solid 7.5/8 for me. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a football shirt not a fashion statement. The only disappointment for me is that it’s not been launched in conjunction with our new 20+ goals a season striker. 😃 MarsdenRam and Bessie1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been talked about previously that Mel didn't cut a great deal with Umbro. Do you actually know what priorities Clowes will give to our next kit?

It's an opinion. What about what Clowes has previously said about the Umbro deal, didn't sound impressed. Perhaps Mel cut a deal knowing we'd sell lots of shirts whatever the design, so he made sure we got the best profit margin rather than best kit - do you think that is how Clowes will work? Obviously you don't know, just asking your opinion. I'm sure Clowes did sign off the kit and say he was happy, would you expect him to say anything else.

He said he was happy with the designs, and he thought the fans would love them. That's also an opinion. Obviously Clowes hasn't met you yet, or he might have downgraded his forecast! #toughtoplease Mucker1884, Foreveram, ThePrisoner and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
