[Archived] Squad

[Gareth]

No, the squad numbers will be out at the beginning of October this year. It's because the new away shirt was released so early.

I expect the new home shirt will be released when we announce our next signing on August 31st (2005).

Will the new home shirt be released today then?

Ha Ha! Very good Gareth!

When is it out?

Lee? Vinjay? Chairman Williams? Anyone?

[Lee]

End of July was the last I heard.

[bob fleming]

Thanks for that squire. Another question for you - is it definitely a brand new design? or just the same shirt as last year but with Lonsdale as the sponsor?

Probably a silly question but I don't recall seeing confirmation anywhere (some smart arse will no doubt post a link).

Cheers

[Lee]

Brand new design, I seem to recall it being blue and white halves.

[bob fleming]

Blue and White halves?!?

Brilliant. I'll have two.

[blue/white]

Blue & white halves????

Made by Nike or Adidas, presumably?

(lets' not start that merry-go around)

WHAT???? Have they mocked up our traditional white and blue halves then???

[Presty On Tour]

bellamy will get the number 10 or number 8(what he wears for wales) i imagine, dickov will lose his number hopefully, because tugay is number 8!!

[S15]

Bellamy will be numero 9.

Dickie will take him if he takes his number.

i thought kuqi would get the number 9?

[Wolverine]

The fact that this season we can argue about who would get the coveted first eleven numbers is surely a good sign that our squad is more flexible and prepared than this time last season.

But Sparky seems to have a few more signings planned and the rumours say he may need to shift people out to bring people in...

With that in mind, neither Dickov or Kuqi are guaranteed No. 10 - wouldn't it be great to see McCarthy as No 10?

With regards to the new home kit - I thought the club had said they would announce the new kit details by the end of July, but I am not best known for paying attention... But if the club sticks to the same design as the new away which is quite likely, and going off clues left by Lee, I made a quick mock up which you can see here!

I have posted a link cos I dont know if I am allowed to display it here...

The Lonsdale logo is the ugliest logo in the world.

Agreed. I tried making it red (which I presume will happen), but it looked naff.

Wow sounds different. Is the white half on the front or the back.

And there's no dispute about who gets 4 and 5 as there are only 2 players to choose from

Hope JW and MH have another trick up their sleeve.

I am sure they do. But they will probably stay tight lipped until any deals are clinched...

if they told everyone who they were after though it makes other clubs aware and we could end up in a bidding war!!

[T4E]

Every company that sponsors us gets the ugliest logo in the World criticism.

Time, McEwans, HSA and now Lonsdale.

I don't really care who sponsors us, although it will be sad to see the rabbit go, his half time adverts were usually the most entertaining thing at Ewood on a match day. Well, apart from the netball girls outside.

a mate told me that all the number this season that whatever colour they are they will have a gold outline??

i remember seing newcastles and they had it on their new kit at the end of last season because they brought it out early!!

[stuwilky]

An outline is different to the number.

[LeChuck]

Bellamy is wearing number 36 on his training top.

Is that significant in anyway?
