Well, here of course

Re: Shirt Launch : Fri Dec 01, 2017 7:38 am  
Not many people will agree, but I get both home and away shirts each year regardless of the design / colors. Like them or hate them I'll have them on each game day because I want to show that i'm part of the team (allbeit a rounded middle aged balding member of the supporting team) and I'll continue to do so until I turn my toes up.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, obviously, but using an example of my amateur days...when i walked out of that dressing room on game day I was focused on playing well and trying to get the right result, not on the colour of the shirt I was wearing.

To me, the shirt (regardless of its design and colours) shows who I follow, who I support and which club I love so its appearance means little. To me, the important bit is the meaning behind the shirt, not the shirt itself.

There have been better shirts released in recent years admittedly, but there have also been a lot worse.

I wouldn't imagine that the plyers bother about the design of the kits or indeed the sponsors on the kit. However, the gist is that a smarter looking kit would surely provide a better income stream for the club, the sponsor logo's are an anomaly as by their nature some look good and some look bad and either way shouldn't affect the purchase of the kit, but the club have a choice as to whether the kit looks good or not. For me this time they failed.

Who actually gets the say on choice and proofing the design?
Is it anyone at our club, or do we just get what we are given?

Why would players be bothered? They aren't the ones that have to pay for anything they wear related to the club, unlike the fans.

Well it's not him then.
Looks like we get what were given.
I find dissatisfaction in that when we can all go on the suppliers website and design our own.

Clubs would get a much better reaction by using this as a tool to interact with the fans - allowing them to submit designs, and then offering up two or three selected by the club in a voting process.

In this day and age it's not like you even have to have players modelling real shirts handwoven in the dark, 'satanic', Lancashire mills
