Maybe the question needs to be asked why the old kit suddenly turned up on hummels website when none was available for months. This might help explain why the club pulled the plug when others like Coventry didn’t 

As for the new stuff, must admit the flying robin is growing on me but on the training gear rather than on the kit

FairPlay. The club have pulled a master stroke with this kit…they have to be commended  - no more supply / stock issues in the shop/on line …. As the kit is so bad that it always going to be available. I feel sorry for the larger people… the fitting of the kit does them no favours… get rid. Align ourselves with  the rugby and get Umbro in,  get Jon lansdown and his crayons no where near it…

I have got the ONeills shirt and am very pleased with it. I reckon it looks good. Furthermore, I like the Flying Robin badge on the away kit. I know this seems to as it were fly in the face of the prevailing wind on here, but that's my take on it. 

Hummel let Bristol City and the supporters down. Yet they are looked upon with reverence on OTIB. If a player let us down the fan base wouldn't be so forgiving. 

A big thumbs up to O'Neills from me. Kits are being supplied and any supporter who wants one can get one. They are literally delivering the goods. Hummel were the equivalent of Tony Dinning.

Just saw the shirt up close it isn’t as bad as the pictures - logos are printed into the shirt but not the badge

I was interested in the whole "reaching back to past kits" they went with the home kit and made a few kits based on the 1980/81 kits and the third based on 92/93 away but all by Umbro (the supplier of 80/81 kits. It's nothing mind blowing but I think it feels so much more "Bristol City" than what O'Neills deliver.

I like that, take the shoulder logos down the sleeve and contrast cuff like the purple shirt and it's great. 
I do like the idea of the shirts being the same, just the colours change.

If anyone's interested, Hummel are selling the remaining stock of this season's shirts for £30 each on their website. Home, away, third and GK's all on there and quite a few different sizes available:

Aren't O'Neills big in Ireland with Gaelic football shirts.

Can any fellow reds living in the Emerald Isle give us an idea of the quality of those shirts?

Have we just picked the lowest quality shirts possible - or are all of their kits questionable?

I have tons of O'Neills GAA gear and the quality is excellent. Some of the jerseys I have are the bones of 20 years old and more or less in perfect condition. Agree with Norn Iron that it'd be an aberration if our gear turns out to be poor quality.

Seems there is enough of the new kit going around at the club then if an Instagram content creator is being given free shirts by Scotty when they aren’t even available to fans yet….!

Annoyed me that

Maybe they were samples so to speak form the original delivery?

There has been plenty of opinion that some of the very first ones looked different that what would actually be sold.

Who is the Instagram influencer?

Not sure how many followers constitute "Influencer" . Bosfinesse has 26.3k followers, going around Restaurants/cafes/street food outlets and reviewing them, sort of. Plucking an account out of the air, Joe Bryan has 37.2k , TBF he may not need free shirts soon.

I've grown to hate the O'Neill's kit, looks cheap and nasty

I actually quite like the home kit, I think it looks great, it's the yellow one that's a bit shit in my opinion. And I doubt the robin badge was a call from O'Neill's so I feel like that kit would've never had a chance in the first place, whoever's making it.

Sounds awful!

In the grand scheme of things that pop up on Instagram, it's not the worst. Interesting to see new places to go, but I don't think I've seen him do a bad review, not looked too closely though.

I say that as someone with fond memories of the original jersey from the late '80s; I don't have an opinion on the badge - not sure what you're referring to, TBH

I mean this, just think it looks a bit naff that's all. Hardly the end of the world anyway.

Ah, hadn't really considered it. Not very 'robin', is it?

Jersey looks washed out. Much prefer a more acid yellow, like the Adidas away kit from a decade or so ago.

Does anyone know if they announced the date the away kit would be shown?

Don’t think so mate, I’m keeping a keen eye out. Bloody love a black away kit, crossing everything for that.

Port Vale kit is very nice.

Puma do a lot of the Bundesliga kits and they are nice too.

Absolutely on the Port Vale lit. Imagine that with red and black rather than yellow and black hoops as our change kit!

I guess it wouldn’t fit our strange obsession with “unique” kits that are usually repeats of kits we’ve worn before… hardly unique.

Could be worse, Lincoln have got kit by 'Oxen' for next year, the modern day equivalent of TFG?

Also saw Port Vale are decked out in Puma next year, that shirt is a beauty

960_port_vale_2023_24_puma_home_kit_d.jpeg

Oxen are pretty big in rugby league - they make England’s kit.  Whether they are better than a Gaelic football specialist or not I don’t know! 
 

Port Vale kit is lush!

Yeah the third kit .. now also known as the “Robin Kit” .. has been for the last few years I think… this is why we have that stock image of the robin on the front also. 
 

excited to see this away kit though to be honest… see if they can out do that yellow one in the worst we have ever had ?

You clearly never saw the all green kit at west ham, c.1994

Or the Auto Leyland pizza vans paint final one against Stoke, gold and blue

Or the champagne one in the noughties

I quite like the flying Robin, but it ain't our badge. Stick it on the casual wear, fine, but not on the front of the shirt.

There’s a few people with this opinion to be fair … personally maybe on the kids stuff… but I think it’s awful ?

My little one has it now thanks to my wife's cousin (cheers matey), and he loves it. Whenever it's clean he wants his "football".

It's been washed a few times, and is OK, but I can't get past the sponsor/supplier/badge looking like a "market shirt".

I went in the shop last week to have a look at the quality. To honest it’s pretty poor . Thread ends in lots of places from the sleeves & sides of the stitching. The badge is plastic & sown into the shirt but the stitching is tatty . 
Im too old for shirts now but like to buy the shorts & I won’t be doing that. I want the players to go onto the pitch looking the part , like we did in those Hummel kits , especially the two away kits from early last season . Oneils are poor quality imo.

You are correct, it is the 3rd kit. The away kit is yet to be announced.

I was told we had to use the new third kit as we needed it against Luton. (Away). I don't know why we didn't announce the away kit then. Either it too clashes with Luton's or most probably they wanted to have a big launch for it in the close season.

OOOooooh....  I don't know....it's bloody awful and tinpot but it might be rivalled by hashtags for second place....  But surely the worst thing we've ever had on our shirt has got to be the name "DIONY"....?

Now I know why people are complaining about the shirts. They're using farming equipment to make them.

Next time I'm in Strabane (where they're made) I'll look out for any combine harvesters that might be used in the sorting and packaging process.

You've also cracked the third team shirt colour. It isn't washed out yellow. It's chip colour!
