I see what they've tried to do, but it just seems like its been put together at the last minute, well, to be honest, it has.
The sponsorship is too high up for one. It could be lowered and it seem less of an empty space towards the bottom of the shirt.
The stripes are very small also. Just seems too many on, so it could have been bulked out more.
The badge seems to have been one of those stuck on ones, instead of embodied or something?
As for the sizes.
Reece doesn't look like he's bulking out at all.
Just looks like he's wearing the size below his usual, mind he might prefer that rather than it be baggy.
Conclusion: It looks cheap and rushed.
Either way, they'll only snort at us complaining at this.
But in fairness its us who have to buy it. And complained when given the shirt choices that we didn't like any of them, instead it was a matter of "oh, well, if I have to chose one then".
Just an example of out great communications department working hard again....... |  | | |

Some nails on the head there.
The concerns were immediate when the choices were revealed - might try and find the thread later - but instead of using this board as a marketing tool it is too often either ignored or seen as a venue for all the moaners to assemble. In fact, we're all just trying to make things better.
I'd question why the badge has moved from a central position when the Fila logo is now near the shoulder, it makes everything look lopsided. Again, this is a specific that is often overlooked when not thinking a process through.

Exactly, it's because we're ignored we press the issue until we look like we're moaning.
Agreed however; we've had some awful marketing and fan ideas' on here.
But the same time, we've had some fantastic ones' too.
I'm not suggesting that anyone should be sacked within the club, but I have to question "is their even a job with the title of 'communications department' within the club?"
Because if we're continually ignored with the belief that we will buy into any old rubbish, then I assure you, my money will only go to pay for the seat in the ground. | | | |

Wouldn't say I'm one for design, but knowing what a kit should incorporate whilst being practical and looking good is a simple enough task if the following are considered:
- brand. We have a unique colour scheme in English football, build on it.
- history. Keep the kits, home and away, loyal to the club and brand.
- ensure thought is given to opponents so there is NEVER a clash when choosing an away kit. Needing a third kit is a failure of the whole process. Look at Villa's new kit, their away shirt has blackcurrant (f'n purple again) and white quarters. Their home kit is claret FFS.
- add something each year to create a selling point, in the end that's the main purpose of a new kit - to bring in money. eg introducing a sash (see classic Palace kits) a yellow away kit with blue & black sash.
The blue & black sells itself if kept simple (see brand) but changes can be made and then voted on, but always offer simple blue and black stripes as an option with a good design (see last season's kit). | |

As I said when the sponsor was originally announced, the logo looks horrific.
It looks better than I imagined though. It would look better still with black shorts. |  | | |

See staying loyal to history. We should have some white in the kit, and black shorts would remove the main link to that. It would also look far too dark. | |

I don't think it would look too dark. Inter Milan's always look excellent and they have black shorts perennially. | | | |

The blue and black brand is only a few years old I hardly think changing to clearly far superior looking black shorts would have a massive impact on that. Hardly like we market out brand properly anyway and these abominations are hardly going to help. |  | | |

Opinion will always be split on these things of course, but problems begin when the basics are changed. To the club's credit since 2008 we have had six home kits, each has seen a blue and black shirt, white shorts, blue/black socks. The brand and history have been adhered to in this case.
Don't forget we changed to a predominantly blue body of the shirt in 10-11 and 11-12, but by combining that with black pinstripes and black sleeve, we came up with a different and effective use of the colour scheme. It also helps to explain why this year's shirt doesn't work as well - black sleeves with thin stripes means blue is no longer predominant... and we're back to history again. | |

Ive compared the pics, and as far as I can see, it's the same kit that won the poll, the stripes are the same, even the sponsors logo is higher up the shirt. Apart from the the badge being moved of course.
Should be end of, but i'll go for 8 pages! |  | | |

Wow,wow,wow, at least it's the same colour, a club who's had more kit changes since the 70s than tvos has changed his knickers |  |

We've gone from blue to white shirts on three separate occasions, the third time lasted less than half a season - the club has worn white previously. The Centenary kit made sense and then there was the decision to go with blue and black which we've consistently stuck with since.
Bury went from white and royal blue to white and navy in the 80s, then back to white and royal blue in the mid 90s, they also had a special anniversary kit.
Both clubs made mistakes. | |

I don't understand why some people are so concerned about the shorts. Everyone remembers the shirt but who really pays such close attention to the bottom half? As long as they're black or white and not orange / green / pink, I don't think it really matters. THE SHIRT on the other hand... |  |

The shorts impact the overall look of the kit and can also affect the game when you're watching it. With our white/blue/white away kit games against teams that wear blue/white/blue become a mishmash of the same colours. It's one reason why World Cups see teams wearing kits of all one colour (France wearing all blue and all white).
For an example of what Fila could have provided, see the link below. The stripes are basic yet work very well, and that white kit with a blue and black sash would have been better than the one we got.

I dont think Rhys Bennett was the right choice when it came to modelling the kit, imagine that on Jonah  [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]
