Isn't it this Marconi bunch that make kits that look like shithouse doors with bits of tat stuck all over them in a most unedifying manner?

There is an example (not BWFC colours) of what some say it will look like on another site, apparently they are speculating that its blue & white quarters ?

I say this every year, but for once I'd just like a plain white shirt with the badge, supplier logo, sponsor logo and that's it. I could go to navy collar and cuffs if I have to.

I'd like to buy a home shirt again at some point, and I'm not buying any of the ones that look like something I designed on a video game.

If it has to be a bit modern, can we not just buy a f*ck load of these and stitch our badge on?

I've thought of that. Stick badges saying 'Macron' over. Sorted.

On a serious note, the supplier pay us to give us the kit, right? Presumably that's why we have to sell it off to folk we've never heard of. Now I can see how United kits might help Nike break into new markets, but what are the likes of Macron expecting to get from sponsoring us?! An upsurge in Macron branded headbands being sold to budding tennis players in Bolton? Macron golf clubs?

Generally agree with your point Pru. I guess that's why the payment is pretty consevative. They'll get plenty of name checks in TV & in the press thougg as Macron will get nameda lot more due to the ground name (even if many of us will keep with the Rebok name out of habit).

... also, yes, why can't we have a plain, simple white with navy trim ?

Good to hear that the shirts don't go off template and are unique to each club. Didn't realise they made shirts for Monaco aswell.

I like these elephants very much. So much better than the ribbons.

Kinda, but it probably means it'll have a "design" as opposed to just being white with navy trim. The CEO sounded like he was cooking up something out-of-the-ordinary.

Are Macron being the logo across the middle?

If ever a kit and a team were more suitably matched....

There are some good shirts there, but who put Pratters in charge of choosing the kit?


Anyway, Millwall, who have had some terrible Macron kits in the past, have released their new shirt:

I'd be very pleased with a white version of that with navy shorts and white socks.
