Barrs Court Red Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 49 minutes ago, Wedontplayinblue said: Oh really? All the ones I’ve got so far haven’t and just had basically printed on fabric badges. Could you take a pic by any chance? Any chance of putting a pic of up the Hummel ones? Like I said all the kids ones I’ve got from DH have always come with the printed image badges. All mine and the kids shirts have had badges as you’d find them on a “normal” shirt. Only thing I’ve noticed is poor is where any shirt has the sponsor lettering stuck on- that degrades much quicker than I’d normally expect it to.

Spike Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Coventry's new home kit has only further rubbed salt in the Hummel wound for me, such a beautiful, but still classic, kit and whilst they have that we have 70's wallpaper gk's, a Croatia home kit and the only passable kit is our away kit but it still lacks anything unique to us, not even the Bridge. At this point, I think the bridge no longer being there is almost out of spite because it went down so well with Hummels kits that Crayon Boy probably doesn't want it there anymore as his "creative design" is so much "superior".

Always right and proper having slagged all this stuff off, to set the record straight this time round. I haven't bought a City shirt for a few seasons now and have found all the O'Neils stuff visually embarrassing and a great step down after a lot of what Hummel had produced. But being in London it's nice to have an alternative to all the Prem stuff when out for a jog or running errands locally, and the away shirt looked nice, so I thought I'd take the risk and order it (and the blue Mod keeper top too). Have to say on both I'm pleasantly surprised, not perfect, but far better than feared. Positive - fit is great, true to size and one of the better fitting City shirts I've had in recent memory, and for both shirts the fit is identical (Hummel stuff looked nice but the shirts didn't half fit differently between designs). As @KegCity mentions the collar and sleeves are fine and fit really well, yes the away shirt collar could have been a bit smaller but it doesn't look especially unusual as it might have done if the collar was also poorly fitting. The City badge is up to the standard of Hummel's silicon ones (which were beautiful) and O'Neils is even now doing the hologram label on the front too. The sponsors logo is part of the design which I'm not sure about but does mean it is not going to start peeling off. Negative - ironically the O'Neils logo itself is the only thing that is actually screen pressed on and is going to peel off, better that than the City crest or even sponsor, but still weird. Also the material is very thin, not sure if that necessarily means cheap so not suggesting it is destined to fall apart - and it's a bit better on the away top than goalkeeping top (there is at least a noticeable texture to that one), but both feel like something printed in a market as a replica rather than something really tailored. Nothing earth-shattering, but my general impression of O'Neils had been somewhere between utter garbage and complete embarrassment, so 'a bit above average' is worthy of some credit. 10 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parkwaymom Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I have collected my away shirt from the club shop and it seems to be a good fit, but while I was at the shop I thought I’d try on a keepers shirt and I couldn’t get my head through the collar, which isn’t a problem I’ve ever had before so it looks like there is some inconsistency with the collars across the range. I did find another shirt the same size that I could get over my head but it wasn’t comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southend Blue Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 A lot of the new designs are atrocious throughout the leagues for the new season. Can't always see the need to bring out new strips so often especially with the cost they charge. Some families just simply can't afford them or have to go without. They cost a fraction of price to manufacture but expect people to pay out well over 50 pounds for one shirt. I don't think that's fair. Seen some replicas the past week going on sale at 85 - 90 pounds, it's ludicrous. Our one took in a few changes for the Premier League season ahead. There's faint stripes through it, the away design is questionable, and they've put a bold white outline around our club badge for the home design. I think it's to imply "we're back at the top level and people should take notice" but it's something they could have done without. A simple club crest without border on a plain blue shirt would have been enough. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As fans we perhaps want the club to be the best it can be in all areas. To be striving consistently and at all levels. It feels like things are okay..they are okay but we could be pushing on further, hiring the best we can in all areas based on budget and realistic pulling power, utilising best practice etc etc. That is why- because fans, we all do- we all care, and perhaps there is a fear that we are falling short.

I understand Huboo operate using dedicated employee(s) for each client - I heard this from them on a 3 peeps podcast once. In this scenario if the bcfc fulfiller has a few days off, bcfc orders might be backed up a bit. Then you might not have a particular line item in stock, and have to request more stock from the club. So I can see why it's not necessarily same day/next day despatch, although in their defence, 99% of orders could be despatched this way.

When Rovers have had votes open to all many City supporters joined in with ridiculous posts just to be awkward. I can image an open vote on the colour of City’s shirts resulting in blue and white quarters being the answer Although clubs don’t change much there have been a few in recent times. In the 60s Leeds changed from blue and gold to all white as Don Revie wanted to emulate Real Madrid. Arsenal , 2005/6, changed to a maroon & gold shirt for one season. Although Cristal Palace now usually play in versions of red and blue, in the 60s it was claret and blue stripes, then white shirts with a claret and blue stripe. The 70s was blue and red stripes, then whites shirts with a red and blue sash, then back to red and blue. Closer to home, Forest Green played in black and white stripes until about 10 years ago when the current fluorescent green appeared. Even closer, in the 60s, the mob from Horfield swapped their “famous” quarters for plain blue shirts to save money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the examples you provided arguably only Leeds and Forest Green changed the overall colour of their kit. Maroon and claret are essentially just different shades of red. So it doesn't happen often, but all this governance does is provide some security in a "what if" scenario so you don't get a repeat of Cardiff.

Supersonic Robin Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Christ it's bad. We really don't help ourselves sometimes, do we? Even with something as simple as a kit we manage to make ourselves look amateurish. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to get my kids different kits but a white kit is awful for a 7 year old as he will trash it pretty quickly and then it looks dirty for most of it's life. Won't we need a 3rd kit when we play the Cheltenham friendly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 12 hours ago, GrahamC said: I’m a 42 in chest mate & had bought a large, it was miles too big. Medium is perfect. I’m nowhere near as tall as you (5ft 10) but would suggest probably that. Same height and more or less chest size. Usually a M or L in tops and a M is perfect with the goalie shirt I bought. Tried the L and was immediately like ‘na’! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Betty Swallocks Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Don’t think it wouldn’t be a bad kit if; a) they got rid of that horrid collar b) the cheques on the shorts went all the way up c) went with cheques on the sleeves rather than diamonds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
