If the logo is in alpharooms normal colours the kit will be ruined however good it is. Blue and orange! Blue obviously needs no explanation but orange on a red shirt?? Major fashion faux pas! Mark my words! RUINED!!! I'm done with this fucking club!

 

[vorpal blade]

If the shirts leaked, that will kill the hype/build up/launch, which could affect interest and potentially sales.

I genuinely don't think this matters, they aren't raincoats.

If they've got an ounce of sense and basic access to a designer for a day, they'll tweak the logo to allow it to fit the new kit in a more attractive way. Westfield Health, Capital One, visitMalta.com in recent years have all done this for some of the home kits – removing colour from the logo to make it a much cleaner black & white look. Might not stand out so much, but looks a much more attractive kit...

Yes agree but they didn't do that with that blue shit they've had stuck on the back for the last 2 years! And we always seem to hang back on the shirt release until our sponsors are announced then it's a rush job to get the logos stuck on like the first adidas shirt. It was like having gaffer tape stuck to the front and back. Just bring the shirt out with no sponsor and let people buy it if they want or wait. Forest have done this a couple of times last few years.

I'm not a liar or a dickhead.

I just don't want to get my source into trouble.

Alpharooms on front

So which is it you have seen the kit or your source who you want to protect has told you what it looks like?

I've just seen the burgers I'm putting on my BBQ this afternoon. I'm not telling any of your what kind of burgers they are. It would reveal my sauce.

 

[BushBlade]

It's going to be red and white stripes with a sponsor's name on the front. Trust me.

Hopefully you can help che Adams improve his touch then . He is a good player but at times with his first touch he looks like he's got tennis rackets for feet

Referring to Beat Jedi's post above - is it the case that if a team's sponsor is some company whose merchandise is deemed inapt or too immoral to be emblazoned on a child's shirt, then they are duty bound to issue some sponsorless shirts?

Off the top of my head, I don't know which company's logo adorns Forest's shirts now, the only ones I can remember being Shipstones (who probably no longer exist?) and latterly John Holland Cars. But I'd hazard a guess that they are bookies and also that I'm completely wrong in every aspect of this correspondence too.


p.s. wrong again, I see their sponsor is '888 state' which if memory serves is a tribute act to a band from Madchester......apologia

For the sponsor logo, all that needs doing if it is a logo on a white box is

That went wrong...

For the sponsor logo, all that needs doing if it is a logo on a white box is; remove the white box and add a white stroke/outline around any letters and shapes. Allows the logo to still be legible and a striped shirt to still look exactly that.

I hear he bought Neil Collins boots when he went to the States.

Depends what colour the logo is I suppose.
This is the kind of thing they need to do:

And a sponsor to spoil the back aswell.

With the proceeds, Collins bought Bader's legs.
The Americans will notice a great improvement of the defender's mobility that we seldom saw.

Agreed. This is what I was talking about earlier – was adapted from their usual more colourful logo...

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Why?

beatific blade has seen the new kit, reckons it looks quite nice, and says there is a sponsor for next season.

For which we all should be thankful.
