Quoted from Poojah


It actually looks alright in the rendered image below, where the black label doesn’t look overbearing. I do wonder if whoever signed it off had a bit of a “what the fúck have I done?” moment once they saw it worn.

I don’t think it works on the real shirt because of the gradient towards the top. I don’t think it would look so bad as a Lincoln shirt for example because the contrast isn’t as stark with red and white as it is with black and white. I can’t moan too much about it - it’s not like I could design anything better but I don’t like having a home shirt that is only a quarter to a third stripey.

Is that training gear?

That’s awful, I mean the home shirt looks like a training kit.

I’m truth they’re all pretty is inspiring. I mean the salmon pink one isn’t the worst but it’s still training kit esque. The blue, the less said about it the better.

The pink would be better if not was Palermo colour pink, little knitted collar, black and white trim, black shorts pink socks.

Makes Lincoln’s look decent, why didn’t we go for the collar design, it would’ve been option as I’d imagine errea had 2/3 templates and offered them to clubs. We’ve got the same template at Cheltenham and fundamentally three shirts the same style but different colour ways.

Ah wel, guess you can’t please all the people all of the time but that’s the worst for a long time. Since that half and half Nike monstrosity...

I’ll be buying the new home shirt - the club needs as as much revenue as it can possibly generate.

I like all 3 although I would never buy the away or third. I can see why people would be disgruntled with the home with the solid black top portion but I think it’s a decent twist on the traditional design. I mean there isn’t much you can do with stripes.

Nice promotion kits

We’ve had a couple of good designs with errea for home shirts. We had a similar version to Pescara’s home shirt which was cool as was the shirt with the knitted V neck and cuffs.

These look like training kits to me.

It must be a nightmare for parents who have 1/2 kids that like town with three new kits every season, I appreciate they can say no but even so...

My take on it is this:

Home kit - nothing wrong with being a bit different now and again, but why the white collar?  That completely cheapens it.  And nobody wants v-necks nowadays

Away kit - great colours, no problem with the black-only badge, but again it's v-neck.

3rd kit - daft collar.  One of our kits ALWAYS has a daft collar, this time they've ALL got a daft collar!  And the colour ain't great.

In summary, and I sort of saw this coming; time to move away from Errea, and stop letting Dave Smith make all the decisions, he's obviously got bad taste.

It'll look good if we are pushing for promotion

If the black and white on the shirt was inverted I'd like the home shirt a lot more. Fancy having stripes for only three quarters of the height at the front and having a gradient in to those three quarters, thereby making it only two thirds striped! No red socks again too, not a fan. Also personally believe our change kit should be predominantly red but not too fussed. All subjective innit.
