[Archived] New Shirts - Still Umbro But What Colour?

[Manc Rover]

Phil "the power" Taylor wouldnt look out of place wearing a shirt like that. It's an improvement on last years and glad they've done away with that horrible pattern down the sides and umbro desighn around the shoulders.

Oh Dear!

Is anybody surprised by that?

I think most people have got used to having problems with our new shirts, no mention in the article when they will now be released.

The fact that most of umbro's designs are very similar, is there any other team who have problems and delays with their shirts or is it just typically us again?

[BrownieFC]

Hope its not delyed to long I wanted it to take on holiday with me.

What are the chances it will be launched before the 19th?

[modes98]

I doubt it. I think the article says later in the month and i would presume it would be a weekend launch. So Probably looking at 26th July, but you never know a week maybe enough to get it all sorted. Fingers crossed as i want mine for portugal.

[RevidgeBlue]

I must be the only person who doesn't like it...

See my original post. There's two of us.

I think the vertical stripes look cheap and tacky beyond belief.

I wouldnt say anything about design when you've been known to drive around in a yellow roller skate

If you're going to be cheeky Mr. B at least acknowledge that you have put up a picture of the outdated Fiat Cinquecento but that I used to drive around in the vastly superior Seicento Sporting!

Looks OK. Away kits can be awful after all. We had a nice dark blue "fitted" Kappa shirt when we first got back to the Prem. Had half sleeves and was pretty stylish but they had to release XXXL and beyond as they were simply too tight for your average Rovers fan.

Biggest problem with that kit is that I think we wore it 3 times. Away at Spurs, Bolton and Fulham (2 losses and a draw if I'm not mistaken). I see the same again happening this season. Maybe we'll get away with it at Man City but 4 out of 19 away fixtures is a bit pathetic and it'll long be forgotten in 18 months time.

Don't part with your Red and black shirts too soon when your drunk this summer in some Turkish bar.

Wore it away at Leeds aswell, we lost 2-1 I think, Jansen scored for us.

[DP]

Yep, you're right. So 1 less game this season then.

Leeds, whatever happened to them? .....

Justice? ;-)

I think this new away kit is dreary, the colour is depressing and the stripes down the middle are awful.

I'll be getting the Cagliari home shirt instead.

[tony gale's mic]

Anyone else who falls into the category of liking it as a football shirt but being utterly mystified by the point of having a blue away kit?

Those vertical stripes are a nice touch IMO, but they shouldve been on a red kit.

And at Derby on the opening day.....

[DP]

Ah Derby, so that's another...... doh!

Me TGM

It'd make a decent training kit

With regards the lettering and numbering, i was sent this by a fellow rovers fan:

New store opens saturday - artists impressions here

Rovers

Also the new online website launches this saturday - 12th.

However away shirt wont yet be available due to a problem at Umbro.

[BrownieFC]

I cant belive how I didn't notice before but all the kits in the artist impression are bet24 kits looks like the artists impression will be spot on for the opening day LOL.

[Guest Kamy100]

If you think our home kit is bad, check out the new Bolton home shirt, looks like it a training kit:

Is that a rucksack on his back?

Maybe a new Premier League initiative...the Bolton players spend so long time wasting and feigning injury that they have a first aid kit in a backpack. No need to stop then game - let them treat themselves and you can play around them!

[philipl]

What have the Wankies gone and spilt down their bib?

That is grotesque.

[Ozz]

Take away the yoke and that would be a classic, traditional simple shirt. But it does have the yoke.
