The 2015/16 kit speculation thread

[Guildford Bee]

i thought some rule had been introduced? (though i'm probably thinking of something 10-15 years back that's since been superceded!)

About keeping shirts for two seasons? Long gone.

 

[Bigbee]

Long gone.

Not sure

sh*ts, injured ,gashed knee? , I think he may make a difference in the run in this Saturday

 

[mhead bee]

I would like a slightly paler shade of red stripe, .

No way wise old bee. I absolutely love the bright red stripes. Going to a packed GP and seeing our blood red stripes glowing in the sunshine has added to the spark and the feeling of expectation this season. Lets not dampen the glow.

 

[Werderbee]

Surely the away colours should reflect our first kit when we were formed.

Surely the away colours should reflect our first kit when we were formed.

Which would be?

Claret and blue? All blue? I'm sure there's a report somewhere with the colours worn around the period. But the shirt colours changed on a regular basis. There's even mention of all red in the early 1900's..... As a report said the 'Scarlets' - Brentford - In a home game at GP......

 

[TW3Bee]

I'd like to see salmon pink and sky blue quarters with a red V (shoulder to waist) for the away kit to reflect our heritage in this anniversary year

Yes please.

 

[Werderbee]

A combination of the pink and blue

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Sadly, it won't happen. The days of keeping a kit for two seasons are long gone.

yep, money spinner now

[Balders Bee]

Yes please.

Yes, yes please. Nice link with history and would look pretty smart better than the two-a-penny yellow kit.

 

[Invipai]

Maybe there's a reason we haven't worn those colours in 126 years.... Not sure pink and blue work well even if the sentiment is good.

:suspect: 1 Year rolling deal at £20Million a year......................

Handy way to sidestep FFP...

That 1889 number is hideous..................... PERFECT for next season ;-)

They're not really correct, the first two kits anyway.

 

[SamwiseBee]

Would be a shame for the yellow and black kit to go. Not a fan of the shift from You Bee's to You Red's and getting rid of the Bee kit would be another step in the Red direction.

I dont quite get this.
We will always have a Red and White home shirt, and as far as i know, probably wouldn't be allowed to have a Red and White away shirt!

We've had yellow and black away kit for what, two seasons out of 100 odd?

Also doesn't our nickname originate from the letter B rather than any connection to Bees?

 

[Banshee Mildew]

I really like this kit!

 

[Big Seb]

I don't believe the club ever used 'salmon pink' in their shirt colours. Claret and Blue, I'm led to believe, were the colours used.

No no, not claret but rose, I'm sure I've seen pictures of a salmon pink colour on the shirt, we couldn't have played in W. Hams colours could we?

 

[BlueJayBee]

No no, not claret but rose, I'm sure I've seen pictures of a salmon pink colour on the shirt, we couldn't have played in W. Hams colours could we?

I'm sure I read somewhere that "salmon" was one of the colours. I came across this website which, if correct, means they were claret, salmon & blue:

Looks like a bit of salmon pink to me on my monitor, anyway, I think it would look tres stylish

 

[wibs]

Having seen the online plans for the kit on the official site can I just say I think the hoops look surprisingly good.
Can someone more technically competent post a link for me. Thanks

That's not the kit used in those years though. They've taken it from talk about the colours the club adopted. Which were the rowing clubs, salmon, claret and blue. The shirts were claret and blue stripes - as mentioned in reports and on the player photo cards the club had received recently - or all dark blue - as shown in team pics from the period...... No salmon or pink at all.

 

[wanderer paul]

West ham weren't around in 1889.......

 

[Bungy Bee]

Some other thread reminded me about this...

Anyone in the know care to share owt?

Stripes thicker or thinner? Lets get this season over first.....

Collars?

Round neck?

Unique or template?

Is this the away kit?

Any teaser campaigns lined up?

 

[Bungy Bee]

Lets get this season over with first...big game coming up ...

 

[absenteebee]

Good point... But then... just imagine having Premier League numbers, letters and patches on the new kit... Oooh, I'd become a right old #fullkitw*nker... Captain's armband the lot!... #PLsellout

 

[SamwiseBee]

I know there might not be a genuine link to Bees but its one of the best Nicknames/Mascots out there.

Three in the last 4 years if you include the Yellow/Blue and they've all been pretty popular.

I dont quite get this.
We will always have a Red and White home shirt, and as far as i know, probably wouldn't be allowed to have a Red and White away shirt!

I was referring to the nickname of the club and chants rather than the home kit, obviously wouldn't want to get rid of the red.

COYB is slowly becoming COYR and getting rid of a Bee coloured kit might add fuel to this thats all.

My opinion may be clouded by the fact my 6 a-side team play in yellow but its all good PR for the Red's, sh*t meant Bee's.

 

[absenteebee]

I see our good friend Newsbot has told us about the new Boro kit being available to fans ahead of tomorrow's game and a potential "first trip to the new Wembley Stadium". Although I harp on about wanting to see what our new kit looks like, I'm against it ever being available to buy before the season has ended. But... Is there any more goss on ours? A variation on next seasons AC Milan top would be nice

Something else to spend their hard earned dole money on!

 

[mhead bee]

I think this seasons kits are the best in living memory.

Love the bright blood red at home, it matches the passion, desire and colour of the stand when the sun shines or the floodlights are on. It makes the whole place come to life.

The away kit, although at first sight looked a bit drab compared to last year it looks fantastic in the flesh and one of my favourites of all time.

I hope we don't foul it all up next year.

I think it's a really good idea of Middlesbrough to launch the kit before tomorrow's game while there is the fill good factor around the club, if they had waiting until after the game all their fans will be depressed as they have just lost 2-0 at home too "Little Old Brentford".

Look like a ladies rugby team.

 

[8 Bee]

I really like this kit!

Reminds me of my Little Ealing Junior School football shirt all those years ago. (minus the number and sponsors of course)

 

[chizbee]

I think the yellow away will be scrapped and new sponsors a probability....

Matchbox.com I Reckon . Its helps get around ffp . Matchbox pay well over the top to be shirt sponsors to give us more money for the playing squad. Its how man city have done it for years. with etihad .

Will all ST holders be receiving a little car when they enter the ground instead of a cream egg next season? :bound:

I hope mine is an Aston Martin, I've always wanted one of those.

 

[absenteebee]

Could it possibly be a similar but slightly different business to matchbook(or matchbox)... Like SmartOdds (or Airfix)?

 

[absenteebee]

Pssst... Any news?

Southampton's is now in the public domain (great campaign highlighted by monkeymagic in his blog). Very much a template top.
Boro got theirs out for the second leg.
Ipswich have got some noisy rave video to show theirs.
AC Milan's is a goodie.

Come on Bees, get your kits out...

Is this another decision for the incoming co-directors of football? What are the performance statistics regarding brand and colour?

.............yep..........Brazil are looking into changing theirs..........

 

[BFC1997]

I like a deeper red and black trim. Always black shorts.

Away kit I don't mind the recent ones but the yellow shirts this season don't look good with white shorts, much better with the black

[Tom the bee]

Black/yellow away kit. Like this if you agree- let's amass some support for an amazing kit!
