Gee SCREAMER !! Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Gave a 3. It's ok. The arms design does keep bringing Spiro graph to mind. SaffyRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Clowes hasn't met you yet, or he might have downgraded his forecast! #toughtoplease I won't be paying £50 for something that looks like an off-the-peg t-shirt so yes I'm tough to please. No doubt there are other Derby fans who aren't 'in love' with the kit either. That's truth. I'm not surprised with what David Clowes said, that was never the point. I'm sure the sales of shirts will tell David Clowes how much the fans love the shirt. jimtastic56 and The_Sheriff 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralRam Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Sponsor looks crap and the shirt is bang average. I don’t hate it but I don’t love it either. Edited July 6, 2023 by GeneralRam Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not convinced that is so. I suspect a fair few buy and wear "this season's shirt", regardless of the design. It's a statement for some.

I'm proud of our football club, I wish I could say the same of the kit, not that that really matters of course. #disappointednottough Edited July 6, 2023 by RoyMac5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you actually know what priorities Clowes will give to our next kit? We have been told in the past that DCFC will make hardly anything from shirt sales. So does it matter if we like them or buy them? ( However teams like R. Madrid say shirt sales pay for the players 🤷🏻♂️). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we did make quite a lot on Rooney shirts. It's about reach, isn't it? Someone on here jokingly said we should have Naill Horan on the shirt and we'd sell zillions. They are probably right! jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the sales of shirts will tell David Clowes how much the fans love the shirt. It's not an off the peg design though, the bits in the shoulder were specifically designed for use by us and I don't think I've seen another kit with the same collar design. There's some sort of print in the fabric too so it's not just plain white. By all means be disappointed by the design but don't criticise it for being something it isn't. It's not going to have been the cheapest option, simply because it has something unique to us on it besides the club badge. Unless I'm wrong and you can find it in their Teamwear catalogue of course, THESE are off the peg... https://www.umbro.co.uk/customer-care/brochure Day, SKRam, FlyBritishMidland and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a white t-shirt, they also have different fabrics. I repeat if we hadn't been told it was retro would be have known. I think its ordinary, you don't.

Guest Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Say it every pre-season, as soon as we bin Umbro off the better. It looks a bit Bolton to me, but couldn't care less if we win the league by 30 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandExile Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) "A bit Fulham", "A bit Bolton".... You mean it's a white shirt and those other teams play in white. Uh oh, just thought of another team who have white shirts....and they used to play in (royal) blue shorts. Phew, we played - and should play - in Navy blue.
