Surely the idea is to sell as many shirts as possible rather than just embark on an ego trip ? If so , how difficult would it be to shortlist say , 3 designs and use a sample group from the fan base to choose the design to run with ? Surely a basic given of the retail industry is to complete your market research and then sell the most favoured product ?

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.

Supersonic Robin Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) 34 minutes ago, Ronnie Sinclair said: Meanwhile up north, a decent collar and kit can be done stylishly But is their kit largely designed by their chairman, a "maverick thinker whose creativity knows no bounds"? Is their kit an exciting retro throwback? Is it a bold design inspired by the iconic cladding of a factory in Blackburn? Have they collaborated with a unique manufacturer whose history echoes the identity of the club? No? Well it doesn't count then.

ChippenhamRed Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 Once again the kits seem to be symptomatic of bigger problems at our club; rank amateur decision making. Who is signing this stuff off? Why does no one question it? When the reaction of the fanbase is almost unanimously negative, why doesn’t the club see things the same way? Why is there no fan engagement to gauge opinions before committing to the design? It’s in no one’s interest to release sun-standard merchandise. The club make less money and the fans don’t get to buy things they like. So why are they so bad at it? 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I wonder why so many people are saying it’s hideous or the worst ever, is it because it is the worst or is it because they know it’s JL’s company that designed it and that’s just another stick to beat him with, I’m sure they will get Tinnion in there somewhere as well. It is just getting boring and childish now, don’t get me wrong I don’t agree with everything they do or say and I didn’t agree with the Pearson sacking just when we seemed to be building something but that’s gone, now it’s time to move on. I would love to know if the posters that keep spelling technical incorrectly have ever made a mistake in their grammar Im dam sure I have in this post. Anyway I really like the new shirt, I still won’t buy it though as the price is more obscene than the design. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
