Thats the worst kit since the early eighties pinstripe............Cannot stand the kits that dont have the stripes on the back.........aka most mag offerings!,,,,any sensible business would do a focus group so as to pick the most attractive top re sales...............not our bunch of fekking no hopers! there is more to worry about than the kit the team wears but it a sign of things to come!I would guess that safc have just let the manufacturer get on with it and they have produced this shite!,,You would have though the club and the manufacturer would want to sell as many kits as possible i wonder if the club just thinks we will buy any old shite...its about time we sent a message and dont buy this ill-conceived shite.....

Its the strip we are using this season. You could say every kit we have ever had is 'rooted in our history' as they have red and white stripes. We have no players, no manager, no money and no hope and the club is using a sunday league team to model a kit with a dramatic slogan about our future.

Why are they using a sunday league side in a marketing campaign with a heavy focus on the clubs future? They couldn't even get a player who will be part of our future at the club to wear it?

I think you're looking too much into it mate. It's two local teams playing at Ashbrooke. They've used it as a showpiece to release our new strip. It's different and has a community feel about it.

As you say, we don't know which players will be here this season so it wouldn't make sense seeing Defoe, Borini and Khazri trotting around in it. It would only help but further antagonise the fans.

I'm not pleased with our situation, but it seems the club can't do anything without being criticised at the moment. The way some have reacted to the strip is crazy.

Real Madrid and Juventus have both had pink strips mate. Their fans won't have gone on like absolute twonks about it I'll bet.

Some like the strip. I doing unsually buy one but I think I will this time just for knocking about in around the house/having a kickabout.

I don't mind it on the pictures but when you see the players wearing it from yesterday it's brutal.

what happened to the stripes on the back then?Whats the black about then?A reproduction of that top would be ok provided they have not tarted it up to look modern....the manufacturs have a few prototypes to which they fiddle about with for various club colours ............the red on the back and the black piping make the shirt hideous IMHO.

Spot on mate.

People are looking way too much into this.

Our usual launch over recent years has been a very slight variation on the previous years strip, stuck up on the website and available in the club shops from xxx date.

Like this years or not, some thought has gone into it. The launch at Ashbrooke is different and fair play for getting local lads involved, I bet they're buzzing to be involved and I'd hate nothing more than someone like Rodwell's smiling chops modelling it knowing he has let us down massively this season and will be picking up 70k a week in the championship. The players who have done well this year are likely to leave, so the club can't win either way and have gone for a different approach.

As I said before, in 10 - 15 yrs time I would bet that people will remember this strip more than the past 5 yrs, or even the last 10 since we came back up really, none have really stood out and have typically been the standard design for whichever supplier we have used. I am more likely to buy this one compared to them and even if you don't like it, its only a strip man FFS :lol: if people are so pissed off about it, my advice would be to get off the internet and don't let it spoil your sunday.
