Personally, I don't like collars on the tops. And I thought they could have been a bit more original with the away top. Having said that, anything is better than last years effort. Macron is an interesting choice. They must have got a good deal.
I like them. Have an old timers hankering for the home strip to be with red shorts, black socks with red and white tops. Just like mark cowan and others used to wear
I don't like it. As stated before, I don't like collars on football tops. And that's not a diamond, its 2 chevrons and the sponsors logo detracts from the diamond (chevron) on the back. What is the sponsor on the back anyway?
For me, our strip is easy to get right and easy to get wrong. It's so simple. All fans want is a big @#$%& off diamond that's not ruined by a stupid sponsor position. Can be short & chunky, or a return of the longer thinner diamond from the early Owen Coyle days.
Get that right & you sell loads more strips. Even fans who have stopped going to games would still purchase a really well designed, even retro style strip.
Why is it so hard for people at the club to understand this? It's a marketing & commercial co(k up.
Just had a look at the pictures from yesterday on the OS. The sponsor on the back would have fitted under the numbers. The top is probably just a white one from the Macron catalogue and the club will have paid extra to incorporate the bespoke 'diamond' What's was the point though when they've put a panel with a sponsor over it on the back?
Tory Boy I really like it. For the first time in yers I'm going to buy one.
Although I'm the complete opposite from DiamondDonnie I prefer strips with a collar. Always been a polo shrt beforet shirt type of person.
Collars I can take them or leave them it's the fact that's its not a Diamond again I don't like and until there's a DIamond on the strip al certainly not be buying one
