Post by **bixieupnorth** » 06 Aug 2014, 07:07

all look great from a distance, up close they look cheap, are they just printed with the contrast colours, badge looks tacky, but think inplay they are both gonna look superb

great to see the back of that last manufacturer, joma have delivered the goods in a short space of time, how long ago was it that the news sponsor was announced, and they're on sale BEFORE the season starts, when was the last time we could say that??

there my even be a size BSC for austrianandy if he is indeed still following us!! (billy smarts circus)

oops my mistake, they're not quite on sale yet, but i do still like them. if i was a shirt wearer i'd be buying an embroidered badge and sewing that on over the printed one. better on the away shirt btw

Normalish price of £39.99, I think,but I had season ticket so got the 10% discount. It is quite a decent shirt and the quality is good. To be fair to Joma, it is better than I thought they would do for us and I think the home shirt is a grower.

Yeah they actually look quite good especially from distance. Unfortunately close up you notice how poor the badge is, but overall a good kit.

The kit launch has been postponed- 'out of the clubs control'

Now that we have seen the kits worn in action what do people think. So far I have only seen them both in video clips but I quite like the 3rd and away.

Not sure about the home kit, from a purist point of view I am glad we have ditched the white, but I am not happy with all yellow. For me the shorts really should have been blue. That is probably my only criticism of the away kit, the shorts should have been yellow. All one colour is a bit bland and boring. So yeah, blue shorts for home, yellow for away.I would say swap but the blue away kit colour is totally different from the home trim. It would have made sense to have both kits as an exact opposite to each other.

The photos I had seen of the home shirt looked okay and it was growing on me. Not too sure after watching the 2 match clips, the darker shaded yellow segments look almost like a snotty, mucus green.

I like the home and away kits - at least they (appear to be anyway) bespoke shirts designed for us and they have a continental look about them. For me the home kit would not benefit with blue shorts and the all yellow has a cleaner look about it. Not sure why there is push for blue shorts. When the club wore yellow prior to the 70s, it was mainly as all yellow (other than horse jockey shirts sported by Sammy Collins.)

The away shirt has a fairly continental look about it.

I hate the 3rd kit, mainly because it is an off-the-peg teamwear shirt that any park team would wear. Buy one for £11.90 from Joma's website.

if i was a shirt wearer, this is what i'd do, buy one of them and sew it over the printed on crest that appears to be on all three shirts
