Should get that seen to - alternatively, hang them out on the line rather than using a tumble dryer ;)

It's an absolute dogs dinner of a design as per usual, wouldn't expect anything else from Reebok. The fantasy kit designs posted on this thread were a lot better.

It's not though is it? It's also an important source of revenue for the club. If people don't like it, they won't be buying it. It's time they involved the supporters in the kit design because Reebok haven't got a clue.

Come the last week in August nobody will be talking about the shirt.

It is an irrelevance.

All football shirts are very roughly the same. None of them look good on the majority of fans. I don't think this design is any worse or any better than much else we've had. Every year a new kit comes out, folk get all giddy then when the kit is released its followed by a load of "I hate it, I'm not buying it, blah blah blah". Always see plenty wearing it to the matches the next season though.

I just honestly don't get the fuss in a year there'll be a new one for you all to dislike!

ah but it ain't - it's a revenue stream, it's a conversation piece, it's part of the projection of the club

= and it looks like some one armed spastic has gobbed blue ink on a piece of white paper

:conf:

Agreed on that.

It's not a patch on the best kit of the last ten years

So if that's the case then why do the club change the design every season? Why not just pick a design and stick with it for a few seasons like they used to?
