23/24 season kit thread

[idleurchin]

Anyone know when the away kit is due out?

 

[mansfieldblade95]

That'll do for me

The more I look at it, the more it’s growing in me. Think the wider stripes will make it look good on the pitch imo, especially if they end up being sponsorless - which they won’t. I sometimes think the thinner red and white stripes from a distance can make it look a bit pink.

I'm glad social media wasn't around in 2002, for me that kit is shite but fondly remembered for the season we had in it.

I remember seeing the kit and particularly the sponsor released in the Star as a 10 year old and thought what the fuck is that.

What actually was Desun?

I never saw or heard of it anywhere else.

Wasn't it a Chinese brand of orange juice or have I completely made that up?

Chinese soft drink apparently, there's no trace of it online anywhere though apart from this here which states it was at the time "the 6th largest drinks company in China".

I always wanted us to sell it in the ground but it must've been bought out of gone bust not long after our contract expired.

McBurnie wears the new kit to ponder on the meaning of life, the existence of God and the origin of the universe.

Stop being a hater, you're making me sound like blade too long

Custom tranfers for shirts available on Ebay if anyone fancies a Wards logo.

Sounds akin to the largest African agri-fintech company.

Anyway, for reasons unknown my memory is telling me that Desun was something to do with apple juice.

"I don't know man, sometimes I wonder to myself, what if the eyes DO occasionally lie, Chico?"

 

[Balboni]

Ordered. £15.50.

It's piss funny that that's going to arrive before the actual thing is available for sale hahahah

"Rain on your wedding day, is that really ironic? Wait, what does ironic mean?"

Apples and oranges init

"Does chatting shit always result in getting banged? Is it a Newtonian law of physics, or is the degree to which one gets banged relative to the amount of shit one chats?"

Desun had a full page advert inside the front cover of every programme in 02/03 which was nothing more than a photograph of an apple.

I’m pretty sure it was some sort of scam. Can anyone here read what it says on the logo in Mandarin?

I thought it was "I could probably have got that kids iPhone screen mended for cheaper than that rip-off bastard in Harrogate that I used".

Never Mind The Quality Feel The Width sitcom from 70s springs to mind

They made juice concentrate, rather than a juice itself.

He looks like he is about to star in a gritty Scottish crime drama on ITV about a murder that happened at a 5 five a side football match.

I can't say I hate it

I'll just snip the collar off this...

 

[TimofeeVee]

As it's McBurnie, he's more likely to be wondering who would win a fight between a lion and a grizzly bear.

 

[Birdwell Blade]

I couldn’t give less of a shit what the shirt looks like, but my 10 year old Blades fanatic son has been saving up his pocket money to buy it (I’m not gonna make him use it, don’t worry).

The main grumble is that it won’t be available til August which I think is shit. Beating in mind when we went to get him last years kit they had sold out of kids sizes and told us they wouldn’t be getting any more in til the new one came out.

People going on DH Gate do right, I don’t blame them at all. It’s not like the proper shirt quality is good anyway, the Errea stuff we’ve had between us has been wank.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

I think many seasons ago they stuck half a dozen shirt designs on the website and asked fans to choose one

Unfortunately, that can be open to anyone having a say, but if they tied it down to say just season ticket holders ( logging in) at least the fans get an opportunity to feel part of it instead of just a bunch of top office, higher management opinions

Aye
I recall some form of previous consultation in the programme ( apologies- match day magazine!)
I don’t necessarily disagree, however given its Friday, to be argumentative, wouldn’t none season ticket holders then be greeting about not being ‘involved’?
We don’t know the nature & extent of (any) consultation nor the contribution that “top office higher management” made (if any) although I do seem to recall there was some form of junket to Italy when Errea was first announced ? Unclear whether that was to choose designs etc
We certainly need to avoid the debacle that ‘Citeh’ faced when renaming part of the Etihad & ended up with a (rejected) preference for “The Colin Bell End” !

But adding more stripes makes it pretty much the same as last seasons.

You can't just add 1 extra stripe or you wouldn't have a central stripe.
Therefore you have to add 2x stripes, which would give it the same amount as last seasons:

All of a sudden you have the same shirt as last year but with solid sleeves and different collar and cuffs.
I'd say more people would moan at that to be fair

I’d be happy with last years shirt over this one

PaddysMad nails it

No contest !
Even if it has to travel to Africa
