Rovers kits 24/25 season

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I might actually buy one of those after not being particularly impressed with any of the Rovers shirts in the last 20 years.

If you like gold training kits I have a treat for you 

 

Why would anyone buy this top that has a huge V(for Venkys) on it. Cheeky gits.

Ditto, if they don't run out of stock before I can get down to the shop I might splash out now the vaping Sponsorship has been removed.

Well they've got that right at least.

Lovely effort…reversed halves, nice shade of blue…collar ✅✅✅

We have best colour combination and kit style in the world - it's so distinctive (I maintain that the away kit should be halved too [reversed on the back of course] to fully lean into that branding - but what do I know, let's have an all navy kit again or some nonsense).

It takes a real fool to mess it up - and yet we have done for years under Venkys.

If the halves on the back are finally reversed then fair play to them - it's really not that hard.

Home: Blue and White halves reversed 

Away: Red and Black halves reversed

Simples. Ferrari still race in red because it’s iconic just like our kit.

Pretty much. You'd have to change up those away colours every year to keep it fresh but basically any time a viewer sees a halved kit they should be thinking "Oh is that Blackburn?"

Exactly, I’ve been saying the same for years. I can’t believe we don’t use our iconic halved kit as our usp branding. Any kit we play in, home / away / third kit/ training etc should always be halved. We’re missing a huge opportunity and every kit could look amazing and be instantly recognised as Rovers.

Not rocket science is it - I used to make this point to John Williams and Tom Finn but it was poo poohed because the Marketing men apparently thought the strips would be too similar year on year and we wouldn't sell enough new kits etc.

As with Gutted, agree 100%.

Halved kits should be the sole preserve of Blackburn Rovers.

…and Grasshoppers Zurich just like our shared Subbuteo pack.

That would make a great Rovers 3rd kit. 
 

Only real men would wear it.

The local law firm, who specialise in a full range of legal services, have agreed a record deal that exceeds all other front of shirt partnership deals since 2012.

A startling (who am I kidding?) lack of imagination but much better than the vapers, red always looks good on the home kit and they were decent enough when I moved house a couple years back

I just dunno if I believe that statement about biggest deal since 2012.

Ah that’s a typo - what they mean is bigger THAN 2012 - when we had no sponsor so gave it to the Princes Trust 😛

[matt83]

Embarrassing that we can’t get proper sponsors. I’d expect Mill Hill fc to get a deal with a local firm of lawyers. A not surprising lack of imagination for a useless club.

“OUR BIGGEST DEAL SINCE 2012” I’m also calling bullshit with that claim as well. Unless there has been such gross incompetence in generating sponsorship money for over a decade. Which wouldn’t surprise me thinking about it. 

[Mike Graham]

A welcome change of sponsor, all the better for them being a local company run by Rovers fans.

Biggest doesn’t mean big.

Well that what’s my wife says 😲

I have just engaged solicitors to sue someone.  I should have tried WR instead.
