DeeCee Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 I'm couple blind chronically but can see the difference between blue and red shirts and black and white shorts. How hard can it be? Quote

Riverside under the drip Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 No shirts out yet but at least the shop has the retro shirts in proper sizes again (for those of us over-fond of a pie). ICI Perspex in at XL and XXL. Quote
Backroom Tom Posted June 13, 2022 Backroom Posted June 13, 2022 Meh it’s ok for a plain blue training top Quote
SuperBrfc Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 I used to buy the training tops regularly. That was until they started bringing them out in garish colours and the prices went a bit silly. I quite like this shade of blue though. On another note, good to see Dack wearing the blue Predator Manias. When did they come back out? I used to be mad about the Predator Mania range back in the day. Think they went big around 2002-ish. My favourite boots to this day. Quote

MarkBRFC Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 I hope the sponsor on the actual kits is similar to the training wear, instead of a horrible black/blue box just stuck on there. 1 Quote
rog of the rovers Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) If Stoke City (fellow Macron) are to give us any clues. We'll have a 'Walk out Jacket' very much like the training shirt, which also makes me think that the shade of blue will be used for the blue on the home shirt. Similarly, we may have an away 'Walk out Jacket' in the change strip colour scheme. Also, interesting that we've used a full colour badge, instead of the monochrome badge on the Stoke shirts. Finally a clue to our goalkeeper kits? Pastiles anyone? Edited June 13, 2022 by rog of the rovers Quote

Yeah that’s what I was going to say. I think there is a good chance the sponsor will be like that as I think the sponsor last season had to be the way it was to cover the up the recoverite logo. 1 Quote

Even without the moral implications the logo is hideous and likely to ruin any shirts we get. Agree fully with everything you said here another season I won’t be picking up the kit 1 Quote

A company isn't going to want to pay sponsorship for their logo not to be on the prime position. Any time a crowd shot or picture is shown, it's potentially dozens of ads for your brand. The sale of a few hundred more shirts wouldn't likely make up the difference in lost or reduced sponsorship funds if we went with no sponsor or negotiated to not have them on replica shirts. Quote

AspRover Posted June 19, 2022 Posted June 19, 2022 Could the league/fa/whomever just give an ffp break of whatever the average shirt sponsor deal is to clubs that have non gambling/booze/tobacco sponsorship? Maybe a bit more for a charity? 1 Quote
