JHRover Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 I don't understand why they can't even have a release date, let alone any proper marketing material. Is it really just a case of waiting for the van to turn up outside the shop and unload the boxes? Seems poor to me. We keep hearing about needing more income yet replica kit and gear is approached so poorly. Quote

Maybe once every four or five years mix it up but halves (quarters) is what we do. Halves reversed on the back means the shirt is in quarters. It should ALWAYS be like this because that is our traditional shirt. There was only one season (16/17?) when we had true halved shirts when the "halves" were not reversed on the back, this being allowed by our stupid, naive owners. 4 Quote

It's happened for a few seasons in the venkys era, 11/12, 12/13, 15/16 & 16/17. Then we had the kits of 13/14 & 14/15 where they swapped the blue & white around, and then this season with the horrible pale blue. The only home shirt they have got right is the 17/18 league one shirt. Edited June 11, 2019 by MarkBRFC Quote

Mattyblue Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 BB in ‘benchwear’ mode already with his hopeful look towards Mogga Quote
Backroom Tom Posted June 12, 2019 Backroom Posted June 12, 2019 Decent training gear ruined by a tacky sponsor sadly, makes business sense though I’m sure the deal is worth more than they make in the sales of training gear Quote
rog of the rovers Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Would have made a nice away kit, I’m taking this as a hopeful sign. Also memories of our Orange away kit in 97/98.....which I’m sure, still divides opinion! Quote
Mattyblue Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I still remember the club marketing it as a ‘European style kit’ Quote

oldjamfan1 Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 I won’t be wearing the training kit around Glasgow, that’s for certain! 1 Quote
Guest Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Got a feeling one of the kits could be coming today. Rovers and Umbro replying to people with a “?” kind of vibe. Last time they did that was the morning of the training kit reveal. Quote

Stuart Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 The fact we have to wait so long is partly why there is such an adverse reaction when the kit is awful, like last season. All the speculation and build up, and concept kit after concept kit (which all look better) just increases the disappointment. Just get the photos out already. 1 Quote

The kits will be done, so just release them. Although I did enjoy doing the concepts lol. Edited June 14, 2019 by sharpysharps86 Quote
blackburn bhoy Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 We might see the home shirt today as Umbro are revealing 3 shirts and the first one was the PSV away shirt. Quote
benhben Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 These look pretty minging to me....but Ive never bought a training top so cant see many people being that fussed. Hoping the home or away kits are an improvement on last year! Quote
Sparks Rover Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 It's the prices that get me, £25 for some poor quality shorts is a scandal, especially in a town like Blackburn where average wages are low compared to other areas. Overpriced tat 1 Quote
