By having our playing kit based on the Fulham original, this diminishes the clubs opportunity to issue a shirt to celebrate club anniversaries. The club did this to mark 30 years, if I remember correctly.

Thing is BT, back in 1980 very few if any Football, Union or League teams played in Black & it stood out from the rest. Over time a whole shed load of clubs have had a black kit either 2nd or 3rd strip. It just isn't as unusual as it was. The Broncos quarters shirt was always so much brighter with the white shorts (exclude the version with white cross) and I contest likely to attract more interest than the old Fulham black with chevron. It was certainly more appropriate to wear socially than the chevron one.

I never really understood why when we changed from Quins back to Broncos we adopted Fulham's old design rather than the Broncos quarters or even the red one we had a Wembley. I fear I cry in the wilderness but hey ho!

It’s a fair point. It comes down to personal taste. I prefer the simpler shirts to the more showy ones although they are distinctive. Both styles can come a cropper. Keighley go in for the latter and they are revolting. Whitehaven go for the former some kind of grey thing. Whenever I have seen it I always wonder how it got through the development stage and have a bit of a laugh at them. Sadly they had the last laugh.

That's probably due to the amount of pie & mash you spammers eat, they need to have plenty of give in their shirts.

Not Guilty M'Lord, never eat at any of our games! Only eat at one Saints game, the Radio Station I worked for, sponsored a game, I was the only person with any RL knowledge? So I looked after the guests in the box, and at the meal.

Five minutes before the end of the game, came into the box, who is your Man of The Match? of course I asked our Guests who they thought it was, I selected! only, for the guy the guy to whisper this play is making his hug debut, can you please change your selection, I escorted him out of the Box! and said NO! We've paid thousands of ££££ to Sponsor, NO! lol

Chevrons have had their day IMHO & very old fashioned. They are not synonymous with style which if you want to tap in to a new market might be important. Having said that, it doesn't stop Football producing some dreadful kit.

Personally I always had a soft spot for the old Luton Town FC style kits of the 70's.
Depending if we stick with the fulham colours, this would work well as a black shirt with double stripe and a white one for away...
