New Kits 2011/12

Away and 3rd shirts are always something of a lottery. I think the last non-black and white shirt that made the club a ton of cash would be the 1995-6 hooped throwback shirt. There have been some nice designs since but nothing that eye catching or classy, a difficult task with polyester!

I think this years offerings are quite sensible, nice plain designs in popular colours.

For me the biggest issue with the home kit is (not only the awful plastic sponsor patch) but the big back panel for the mumbers. Why don't we go back to red numbers on a retro style shirt next season?

 

Best away shirts we've had in recent years are the Gold/black effort from when Kluivert was on our books, the royal blue one around about the same time and also the purple number we had a couple of years back.

Spot-on mate about the panel on the back. Im fucking sick of it. Last 3 home kits have had them. looks awful. Get the stripes on the back with a red number.

Wasn't that royal blue one ironed on stripes though?

My fave away shirt in recent times was the second all back one from 03-04 (I think) when we couldn't win a game wearing it.

Aye they were the iron on stripes - as was the purple kit too. Still one of my favourties.

 

Never been a fan of away shirts with black or white on them as I don't see the point.

 

The middle one I loved until I saw it in the flesh. Was like blue tin foil IIRC. Design promised so much too.

It might say something about the demographic of the board, have we been invaded by Kevins? :icon_lol:

 

To be fair I rarely wear one to the match anymore and when I do it's impractical, I've been after another Toffs vintage one for ages so I might just make the leap.

Only time I ever wear one now is when I'm playing 5 a side.

Acceptable.

 

At football training.

 

And I'm mighty fucked off I never bought one of these shirts.
