Quoted from HerveJosse
Need to sort the home kit out . I said on here before the season started that when we introduced that green into the home kit it would not end well. Now we are looking at our worst home league wins for 130 years. I told you so!


The white dog collar looks naff and uncomfortable too!

So here’s a view they will get me red crossed to f**k, I know that the club makes good money from kit sales but when times are tough should we not retain the current one for another season?

I'm going to add to this, our owners talk about being sustainable and one way of achieving that is by renewing our shirts less frequently. I appreciate that shirt sales provide commercial income but you could still achieve a good proportion of that by releasing an away kit this summer and the home kit next summer for example.

I think what we do with kids designing the third kit is great, but could they not design the away kit instead, with the previous seasons away kit then becoming the third kit?

Sponsors are staying the same aren’t they? So why not keep it.

I guess, the club needs to earn extra cash somewhere so this is probably where. Maybe have a 2 or 3 year shelf life on each shirt. Then rotate accordingly. This ethos about sustainability has to start somewhere doesn’t it? But, would ST prices then increase or the ‘playing budget’ be affected? It’s a tough one because of the amount of views that differ on the subject all the way from the boardroom to supporter.

Personally, I’d love to see an orange away shirt. I think it would go down a treat

A bit more recent than that, but we had the same away kit as AC Milan in 97/98.

It was Milan’s 3rd shirt in 1995/96 and our away shirt in 1996/97. We kept the same Lotto home shirt for 1997/98 as the season before but we had an all red away kit.

That’s right. This one, wasn’t it?

I actually think the blue one would stand up now to be honest.

I think the blue one became the third shirt in 97/98 too, with the red kit then only actual new kit as the club retained the home shirt from 96/97 too.

Can't imagine any club doing that now.

Our colours are black white and red. For a long time we were always all red for an away kit when I was growing up. Don’t know why we deviated. Third kit can be anything. Obviously there are a few teams who are red and white or blue and white stripes, so a third kit can be any old colour for me.
