handsofclay Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 It's a nod to the umbro diamonds associated with our stint in the top flight. Takes a while to grow on one but it's different. Haven't seen any other club with that design. Might've looked more stylish as a V neck as a V is half a diamond. Missed a trick there. There's only so much that can be done with a basic red shirt home top and at least the design team have come up with something unique and different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sugar then shuts them down by pointing out that no one has done this before because it's a dosghit idea.

You know what would really be unique and different? A nice, clean design - a simple red shirt in a decent, rich shade of red, with a good fit and finish, and a good quality material that justifies the premium price. But no, we have to dick about and come up with something obviously awful. And then launch it anyway. 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Anyone else come to the conclusion that these kits are being done on purpose now - "Right, we're all happy with it, all we need to do with it now is to give our 'point of sign-off' 10 minutes to make a couple of quick changes that won't be decided by the team and then we'll see what lands in July?' That 'point of sign off' then makes the decision..... "Hmm, everyone seems to like it as it is, but the Forum are quite mean to me, so just to annoy them, I'll add a few flourishes that is sure to rile them up a bit".

MarcusX Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 It’s been a long time since I’ve really disliked a home shirt, last years was close but this is awful.

Cornacix the Druid Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Not nice at all. Looks like a division 4 relegation kit or something from the 80s.

MarcusX Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) Also, surely any company worth their salt has a word and says “we don’t think that’s a good idea”?? They're putting their reputation to it even if they didn’t design it. Ironically some of our best ever kits came during the Bristol sport in house era... who was designing those?

1960maaan Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I'm not the target shirt audience TBF , even though I have bought the heritage & the Namey one. Plus I do think the criticism goes overboard sometimes , but bloody hell. If Jon "the crayon" Lansdown hasn't specifically asked for diamonds and squares, WTAF ? It always feels as though he wants to put as much as possible into a design , which is rarely right. Diamonds or squares , FFS pick one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Lots of overreactions. Indeed, Hummel is much better, but we have had to sign an alternative deal and O’Neills were unfortunately chosen. Rather that than generic Adidas or Nike stuff. Hopefully when the kit deal is over, the club will agree with a better manufacturer.

Not an overreaction. Our home shirt in particular is our identity. It reflects on our club, in all forms of media. For an established championship club, with bigger aspirations, it's simply not good enough. The design of this is awful. And though you could say subjective, I've shared it with over 50 football friends (not City fans) in the last hour and not one has had anything positive to say about it. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were under contract with Hummel and chose to cut that short for a supplier whose only other FL club on their books was Wycombe. The same Wycombe who ditched O’Neills for Hummel not long after we went the other way. Edited July 5 by tin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Plain white collar and cuffs was all that was needed to make this a really good looking shirt in the “simple” style that everyone had been asking for .

pikeysrobins Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 It’s hideous. Why this obsession with playing around with the kit? Diamonds and squares!!!l???!! Surely it’s as simple as surveying what the fans what. Narrowing it down to a few designs for then the players to take a vote (and if necessary other City staff) on the preferred kit. The players at the end of the day have to wear it first and foremost. I often wonder how much performance is impacted upon by the kit you wear. Psychologically/subconsciously- if you feel good in your kit, are you adding percentages if small to your performance? I know how I feel when I’m wearing something I like or dislike. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
