Back to the old chestnut of the new shirt : Mon Mar 16, 2009 5:22 pm  

Ok there was a general outcry when they came out though personally I liked them from the of.

I do think as a playing shirt they add to the team as they are quite dark, to me the players look pretty mean and tough in them.

It took some getting use to but I generally like the home one, still not too keen on the away one.

The 20% off offer looks a good one, I would snap it up if I has a ST.

The home one is growing on me - it definitely looks better now there's a sponsor on it. The away one is still rank.

I think the new home kit looks good on the players (predominantly dark), as they have the physique....certainly looks better than the old kit . The away kit looks naff due to the choice of colours.

Unfortunately (with the exception of PP ), the kit looks totally different on the shape of the average supporter .......can`t see me ever buying it!!!

Are they ever going to release a shirt with the sponsor on, or just continue to flog the "old" shirts at discount prices?

I'd consider a purchase if they released the former.

Im not buying it. Looks ok on the players, looks daft on fans imo.

shirt grows on you,but the ones on sale in the shop at 20% off are too plain,they need logos on the arms and the new sponsor on the chest will help .has anyone else spotted the difference between supporters and players shirts, the latter is better as the top quarters go further up into the shoulders which gives a better V..........if that makes sense.....anyway there better

My mate Leeboy mentioned how West Ham encountered their problem with XL by having logos that could be pressed/ironed over the old sponsor, or something like that.

Possible with our shirts? I guess not.

Pretty sure it is possible. While at uni back home i worked in a sporting goods store and we were able to return jerseys to certain suppliers to have the change of sponsor or addition of sponsor made.

I got my jersey already from Lillywhite this year. It does look rather plain without the logos on the arms. Not too dissapointed by the lack of front of jersey sponsor.

Solution could be easy, iron on transfers, from memory, are not that costly to produce especially as the main sponsor logo is a simple black and white job. The club source a heat press for a few weeks or do a deal with a local sports shop that does put names/numbers on shirts etc
