I don't know how to post them here, but hopefully someone else can help.
I wouldn't predict massive sales..... |  | | |  |

Don't really like the look of the new kit. 50/50 if I buy it or not.
From the picture it looks similar style/qualoty to the one a few seasons ago that all the logos fell off in the wash. Ill have to wait and see how it actually looks/feels in the shop |  |

Well I've spoken to 11 other dale fans who don't like it...
Seriously if you think kit sales are the same regardless of quality of kit you are deluded. |
I dont know why we suddenly felt we had to bring out a new kit almost every season now. Gone are the days when you could rely on a kit being the same for a few years, what was so wrong with staying with last seasons kit, which was, in my opinion one of the best ones we've had since Nike, and just changing the sponsors. |  |

dis.
yes the club are always having to maintain and create revenue streams but there comes a point when they might not even sell enough shirts to break even with this constant change |  | | |

On the link posted by Col on page one, why doesn't the vote for each kit add up to 100%? Surely those who voted did so for both kits and thus the percentages for the home and away would be 100%?
As it is, the percentages for all six options add up to 100%; 51% of votes on the three home options and 49% on the three away choices.
Could the resident mathematicians on here explain this. |
The slight discrepancy will be down to rounding, no decimal places, nearest whole number.
33.33 + 33.33 + 33.33 = 100
Rounded
33 + 33 + 33 = 99
At the time the results came out the opinion on here was different to that of the poll, see link below. The same still evidently applies

While we might not agree with it, it's the norm across football to change kits every year now. Dale can't be blamed for doing the same. |  |

you can only fleece fans so long, and especially at this level. We used to slate Man United for bringing out a new kit every 5mins, now we're doing the same almost. | |

It's not just us though, everybody does it now. Plus, we were left with no option but to change all kits this year because of the new sponsor. |  |

I know it isn't just us, its across the whole football sector, but that doesn't mean it is right for the fans. | |

Why will we miss out on a 'large' portion?
Just because people on here voice a dislike doesn't mean the rest of the fans who don't post on here agree.
There's 10 or so people on here who don't like it. I have spoke to 10 or so other Dale fans who don't post on here who do like it.
Whatever the club did the usuals would have found some way to have a pop and general moan.(As stated before I do agree with some of these moans as certain areas of the club are in need of serious improvement)
Kit sales will be at a similar as they are every year, some people will like a kit and some people won't.

I agree to an extent. It just depends on whether you see this board as an accurate microcosm of the Dale fanbase as a whole. While the general consensus on here isn't too positive, I've spoken to quite a few people who never come on here who like it. |  | | |

I usually buy both shirts but this year I am not going to bother as they are awful. I bought the england shirt instead. |  | | |

442 is so god damn right it hurts.
And it's not even like it's difficult. It's just obvious stuff.
If the sponsor was lower down, in the a colour that didn't make it look ridiculous and cheap (white) and the badge was central, that would be a very smart kit. How hard would that have been? Who actually think the kit looks better with the sponsor in red and pushed up so high and the badge at the side? It's not a massive issue. But it's so bloody simple to get right, and yet the club still can't. I was considering purchasing after seeing the original photo, but now I won't.
With regards to people 'choosing' that kit, other people have mentioned how it was the best of a bad bunch. I personally think the one that's chosen could have been quite smart - but the other two were truly horrible. As for the white away one, I'm not a fan of playing in Bury colours, but the black would have clashed with the home kit and that yellow kit was the most gaudy, Sunday-league looking shirt I've ever seen. We were left with no choice. |
Cheers.
It is simple though, if they want our money from more than just seats, then start to listen to things that we want.
I'm not suggesting that our ideas can't be taken, changed and given as alternatives, if anything that would be a major improvement.
Just isn't it better to give a product that fans can buy into, that's been partly designed by them? | | | |

The shirt looks very poor indeed.
I was reserving judgment whether to go for the new kit or the vintage all in one shirt from toffs. It's a pretty easy choice now. | |

Talk about drama.
442Dale as always whinging and having a pop wherever possible about anything he can. (Nit picking about percentages FFS!)
People complaining that the sponsor is on the shirt is in the colour that the sponsor would want it to be.
Yes the club could have taken a better approach to this (and most things in general) but the kit isn't as bad as everyone is making out. Had we gone for Bournemouths kit in our colours I guarantee people would complain we had just copied that design.
If you don't want to buy the kit then don't but bear in mind that this is less revenue for the club.
Typical case of the usual few who seem to think they speak for the majority of Dale fans and that their opinion is more worthy. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Missing the point and not understanding the point in the space of one post takes some doing. | | | |

I fully understand the point regarding revenue and could have articulated my point with more clarity.
The point still remains that some will like it and some won't.
I haven't bought a top since centenary season but will be doing this year.
