Gordon Gekko Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Am I right in believing that we are in the final year of the deal with Umbro? any whispers of another deal or a new manufacturer? I would like a new brand to be honest to freshen it up a bit, I have always thought an Adidas Rovers shirt would look mint! 3 Quote

JHRover Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Yeah Adidas would be smart. Looking forward to a more traditional Rovers shirt next season. Not against Sky blue in principle as a one off but I do miss the proper blue. Fed up with us wearing the away shirt when it isn't necessary. Quote
SIMON GARNERS 194 Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 In the name of God a darker shade of Blue....PLEASE! 5 Quote
Stuart Posted February 9, 2019 Posted February 9, 2019 Not bought a shirt for several years because Venkys have, with few exceptions, seen us have the worst ones in memory. Not hopeful. 2 Quote

Not hopeful. There’s been some shockers but I loved the ‘relegation kit’ a great blue with red detail and available sponsorless Whilst I don’t buy kits really now I always wanted an Adidas Rovers kit Quote
SBlue Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Villa got Luke 1977 and that is smart af. New Balance ones look good too. Quote
JeffRover Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 The Adidas stripes wouldn’t work with our kit really would they? Quote

Red in the badge , no need for any red on the kit imo. Save the red for the away kit Edited February 10, 2019 by perthblue02 Quote

Mattyblue Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 I always looked for their results as a kid because the subbetteo packet with blue and white players always said Blackburn Rovers/Grasshoppers Zurich on the front. 3 Quote
pk1875 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Lets join the 3 stripe society ADIDAS do some great shirts and halves can work Quote
pk1875 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 This plain and simple ADIDAS shirt would look great in our colours Quote
JeffRover Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Sorry to burst everybody's bubble but the Umbro kit deal was signed for the 16/17 season to last for 5 seasons. 2 more seasons of Umbro it is then..... https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/14488467.Blackburn_Rovers_announce_five-year_kit_deal_with_Umbro/ Edited February 10, 2019 by JeffRover Quote

I'm not against the shade of blue per se, as we have a tradition to have worn it in the past as an occasional colour. However, what absolutely ruins it is the vomit - inducing 10Bet sponsor that can only be described as a giant black toilet seat stuck on to the famous blue and white halves. We're stuck with 10Bet for another 2 seasons also. Edited February 10, 2019 by JeffRover 1 Quote

If sponsors are insisting on a black logo (which ruins the look of the shirt) it won’t inspire fans. However, the Bet UK that sponsor Swansea would have made such a difference. A shirt that the sponsor works with the shirt. 1 Quote

Roverthechimp Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Still can't get used to all our players having number 10... ?? But a suçcessful campaign for 10Bet i guess in that we talk about it and other fans take the piss (meaning they talk it too...) Quote
Backroom Madon Posted February 12, 2019 Backroom Posted February 12, 2019 Yeah, Umbro for another couple of seasons yet! Don't get your hopes up for a halved away shirt next season either. Quote
