New kit

[originaltrueblade]

EXCELLENT KIT!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Jehovah]

Just gone and fetched mine. A very kind Blade lent me his season ticket to get the discount. I didn't even know the club were doing that for ST holders.

Whats the discount?

 

[The_Green_Man]

I own it and love it.......Best we have had in a while in my opinion, love the black shoulders and love the striped back. Monochrome alpharooms sponsor looks well and the doordeals on on the back isn't terrible by all standards. Only gripe being I want WHITE socks

Didn't have his name on the shirt but had to have number 10 on the back. I'm not one to usually have numbers and names but it felt fitting on this shirt and I am glad I did

Whats the discount?

10%, better than a smack in the chops.

 

[Right Back]

Anybody bought one yet? Wondering about sizing. The green away shirt in medium was a decent fit on me. Just wondering about the new shirt in medium...going to order online tonight...

I got a medium in both last season's away shirt & this new home shirt. The new home shirt is a more snug fit IMO & better for it.

 

[David Lee's first touch]

Was unsure on shirt off pictures but I actually love it now I've seen one of the best we have had. Don't see all the fuss about the socks didn't realise we had so many full kit wankers

Thats me then, shirt most important but shorts and socks also very important, I have never been a fan of white socks with our kit, always looked like well this is our shirt and black shorts, socks? Owt will do, see whats the cheapest. Always preferred black with red tops. Just my opinion.

I just look at it and think Brentford. Nothing wrong with it just doesn't look very Bladey.

My thoughts as well PS, even googled Brentford strip. But only the colours matched really.

Absolutely spot on, especially the socks comment. As WHF used to say, great post.

I'm not sure. It's isn't a horrible shirt so based on that alone, I want to buy it, but that black on the shoulders looks a bit odd and there's a little bit too much red. I like the monochrome sponsors logo though.

Just me that thinks £45 for a shirt with an ironed on badge and sponsor that comes off in the wash a bit OTT?

Just me that thinks you need to learn how to wash clothes properly?

First complaint, why is the sponsor so big on the back? Where's the name going to go?

This looks like a photoshop to me. I'm guessing the photos for the website were taken before the Door Deals sponsorship was agreed. I think it is actually right at the top of the shirt?

I honestly can't ever remember a shirt that had an Iron on Badge. Please show it me

Said exactly the same in the shoutbox earlier. The training/casual wear from Adidas has has a printed badge and a few home/away shirts in the late 80's/early 90's but I think that's it.

If you're going to have white shorts then have white socks as well, vice versa with the black ones.

 

[wizadry]

How hard is it to choose white socks over black? I suppose we were so fortunate to have got the red and white back, we needed something controversial to be punished with.

If they'd have chosen White shorts then I might have agreed.

 

[Cyprus Blade]

We have often had red but rarely black?

1904-1947, 1953-61 1987-92, 1994-2000, 2005-2011 predominantly black socks

Thank fuck for that mate, I thought I was going more crazy than I already am.

White socks are for puffs

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

I also prefer white socks, but we've had black the most in our history. The white socks were a 60 and 70s change, and we had black socks most of the 90s and 00s.

Stripes on the back - I'd advise you watch without sound...

Thanks for posting this. That's my Dad and my son at the beginning who've just launched the kit.

If you get a name on it there's only one person surely?! Diame!

I got bored and felt like changing the sponsor.

We'd all love to see that again but I don't think the Alpha Rooms sponsor looks bad at all with them having it in black & white.

Sponsors past who can't be arsed to pay are like players who can't be arsed.

So.......

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

It's all bloody rooms and doors. The shirt reads like an Aldous Huxley novel...

 

[DifferentClass]

That shirt was utter bobbar. It had that crappy lace-up collar and two shirts were never the same as the alignment of the stripes was all over the place.

I was only 2/3 when I had that shirt and I remember all of us removing the bloody laceup collar! Wouldn't mind Umbro back after the Adidas deal ends though, they've made some great kits recently and completely bespoke to boot!

 

[Finn Keane o' Balmaqueen]

Has anyone asked the sponsor(s) if they would be against signing Edwyn Chevans, should we have an opportunity to jump that hurdle?

 

[Bladesman]

 

[silverfox]

I can't believe how bad the guy from Hallam was....JG is the best at this stuff and now underused.

Needs sorting!

Here's Cardiff's away kit launch pic. Look familiar? Please don't tell me Adidas are bringing out AD templates now!

It's the new shitty slogan, innit. 'First Never Follows', hence the finger in the air. So yes, they are!

I'd take that kit in yellow with a red coller as an away ting, though.
