On the minus it seems as though they're claiming that the collar and cuffs are inspired by the railings on the Clifton Suspension bridge!?!?

ChippenhamRed Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Breaking my self-imposed break from OTIB to scream HOW DO THEY MANAGE IT EVERY TIME???? That collar is OBVIOUSLY the worst thing ever, the proportions and fit are OBVIOUSLY terrible - and yet still it makes it all the way through the approval process and onto the shelves for a disgusting sum of money nowhere near justified by the OBVIOUSLY bad quality?

ChippenhamRed Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 15 minutes on OTIB would have been all the market research they needed to determine if this was decent or not, if the manufacturer and the club were all too stupid to realise the obvious for themselves. FIFTEEN MINUTES. It blows my mind, it really does. You can argue until the cows come home about the white sleeves but just a reminder of the quality, fit and finish we were previously enjoying with Hummel - for the SAME price as this crap. @Olé is going to have an absolute field day here. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandhurst Red Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) Do they not actually consult us as fans, on what is arguably the most important identity of a team (aside from a club crest)? I'm beyond shocked at what I'm seeing when you see the growing world of football shirt culture, and design of them being an essential part of the modern game. Even my 10 year old son has said, that's rubbish and I don't want my shirt for next season.... Sadly, this only reflects badly on those at the top and a suggestion that we are their toy, and they can do as they wish. Hopefully, with what will almost certainly be a very low level of purchase, it will make them think, 'we got this badly wrong'.

Loco Rojo Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Absolutely horrible - this has to be the worst looking kit i can think of for a long time. How can the club get something so simple so wrong. Just to look at it looks awful. Who on earth thought that collar and sleeve design was a good idea?
