[Archived] New Shirt 2011/12

[rebelmswar]

The mark of someone raised in London - I have never set foot in Harrods.

Next time I fancy a pound of swan paté I shall be sure to have a look

Wouldn't Chadwick Twinklebottom think that it was some manner of oversized jockey uniform, or perhaps a novelty cane end buffer?

Oh dear

Sadly, I quite like it and might get one!

Really?

It reminds me of the camouflage suit whilst engaged in Predator.

the England away shirt isn't much better

It'll be like 10 referees running about the pitch. And Umbro worry about the commercial value of football shirts? Really?

[Hughesy]

Hate Umbro - wish we could move to adidas

[Ben-2000]

Couldn't give a toss what England wear to be fair...

[brian_gallagher85]

Adidas make crap ill fitting shirts.

I agree. They always make me look fat

I like it for only one reason. The kit is very 'busy', so as the keeper moves about etc. it'll make the opposing striker's eyes go funny and put them off. On the fashion front however, it is truely awful.

We could then sing "YOUR playing 12 again"

I'd take Fruit of the Loom over Umbro.

The keepers shirt is awful, but the England away shirt is just logical - assuming it is with white shorts then it is simply an inversion of the home shirt - makes good sense to me & looks OK

We need a sponsor on our home shirt - no sponsor makes it look like nobody wants us & is a VERY VERY bad PR message - not good for club image at all

It would be better to donate the shirt space free to a charity than to have nothing.

David Haye will be the first person to wear the new England shirt tonight as he is wearing it to the ring.

[brian_gallagher85]

Here's hoping for a similar result to when the national team wear it on a big occasion!

[Ben-2000]

That would look just as bad in terms of not being able to get a sponsor... if we can't get one, leave it blank!

I think it was West Brom who played without a sponsor for part of a season recently, and the shirt looked good without it!

Don't know if anyone's mentioned something like this already, but I was searching 'Blackburn' (布莱克本）on taobao.com and saw the yellow kit for sale already. Taobao is a bit like a Chinese ebay.

It's expensive - around 35 quid on there, so I presume it's the real one being produced here in China. Most Blackburn kits on taobao would set you back about 4 quid.

Something just looks so off about it. Don't the sleeves look like there is a black Tshirt underneath?

[Ben-2000]

Better pic, that.

Like it a lot - if of course it is the actual new shirt, but I think we can more or less say it definately is.

If so, Well Done Rovers!

[Josh]

it doesn't look as bad as it did in the original picture with the XXXXL shirt

[Hughesy]

It IS the shirt - the club asked ebay to remove the last one that was added.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

I agree, it looks a lot better in that picture than the previous one, although I still prefer our away shirt being halved shirts like our home.

[Mike Graham]

Dreadful - not worth £5.

[Iceman]

its a cheap design, no real effort behind it. yellow with a black bit on the sleeve, I'm sure it took many hours to think of. this is not a dig at Venkys, but at Umbro, just in case people think otherwise.
