The 2015/16 kit speculation thread

[Bixer]

I just want a long sleeve option!

I'd love something like this one http://cdn.soccerbible.com/images/archive/Liverpool10_third_m.jpg

I don't want our badge altered

 

[Mr Tree]

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

startling lack of likes for this bet-welcher :scratch:

I bet you £1 we won't have that kit......

 

[the beast]

does anybody know when the new kit is out . ?

 

[BlueJayBee]

How about a return of the all green away kit (late 70's, early 80's iirc)?

Glad you included the fishing smilie.

Slight aside...did anyone see the Southampton 'Stripes' video online.? www.youtube.com/watch?v=B7oBf9FpEjM

I thought it was rather good!

Yep, thought they did well. Especially compared to Blackburn's awful effort a year ago.

 

[Guildford Bee]

MD said on Twitter it won't be available until a week or two before the start of the season due to unforeseen delays.

Why did we stick with adidas?

 

[WARFIELD BEE]

Delay due to the fact we are changing to orangelol

Agree,why?.
Puma was so much better,I'm sure we could have got a better deal from them than last time.

 

[Isleworth_Bee]

I dont know and i may be wrong................... But i bet we get more £££ for Adidas then Puma.................. In fact i bet £1

Plus Adidas looks 10x better then puma.

 

[Houghton Bee]

Plus Adidas looks 10x better then puma.

I'd disagree. Generally I like Adidas stuff, trainers etc, but the kits and training wear they have supplied us with have been incredibly disappointing imo. I havent purchased a single item of clothing from the shop since they got the contract (70s shirt aside) whereas I still have Puma/Brentford shirts and a hoody going strong.

 

[Hamburger Hill]

Apparently the football department prefer Adidas?

 

[big neil]

Since we changed to Adidas we've finally got promoted & then had a stormer in the Championship, so I don't mind waiting for the new one if it brings us that kind of luck again next season.

 

[YorkBee]

Look its fairly simple White Shirt with red Stripes for Home and Red Shirt with White Stripes for away and as for pedants saying that is the same the home shirt red stripes could be 1 mm wider with the adidas brand stripes being either red or white for home and away

 

[YorkBee]

Delay due to the fact we are changing to orangelol

for sure

 

[absenteebee]

...bring back OSCA...

 

[Les Beeavinu]

Delay due to the fact we are changing to orangelol

In all seriousness, replacing our yellow kit with orange would be brilliant.

 

[South Acton Bee]

And that four yes

 

[I'll Bee Damned]

In all seriousness, replacing our yellow kit with orange would be brilliant.

What is more, Orange is 13.7% more visible than yellow and makes finding a team mate from a corner 11.2% more likely.

Totally agree, the leisure wear is appalling and over priced.

 

[GlasgowBee]

I found my old Osca top in a drawer a few weeks back, I nearly arced on the nylon static

 

[hitchinb]

I'm guessing it's not going to be this one now.

 

[Mr Tree]

Totally agree, the leisure wear is appalling and over priced.

i would love to buy some (i have enough old shirts for the limited 5-a-side matches i play!), but yes it seems terrible, and there were a fair few reviews that it was just standard stock with a glued-on Brentford badge. we seem to have a very poor relationship with them unfortunately :sad:

 

[Brentford_till_die]

iron on badge just takes the piss, very poor.

I think its because of the amount of units we would purchase, so Adidas wont make anything personalised for us?

 

[south coast bees]

If that is the case? Perhaps we shouldn't have signed with them..... We are the customer and deserve quality merchandise surely.
A ironed on badge from Adidas against a embroidered badge from Puma is no competition in my book considering the price we pay.

Looking at it as glass half full, at least last season's actual kit was bespoke and apparently so is the next one. QPR had a template Nike kit last season.

 

[big neil]

...which is why I'm glad I waited for the two for one offer near the end of the season & got the red tracky top & training polo for £30.

Great, sounds like another season where there will not be enough stock in store early in the season. Adidas is a joke, we had better be getting a lot of money for this deal

 

[shaun]

My two sons are giving me grief over next seasons kits already (they are like a pair of fecking vultures for the first home game of the season in the club shop). When roughly do the strips normally get "Revealed?"

I think Mark Devlin told me (via Twitter!) they were looking at away kit for first friendly and home kit for the Stoke game. This was before I'd seen anything about a 'delay' though. He also said they were looking to do "something different" when I said I enjoyed last year's #striptease! Maybe they will go with a video like Southampton/Ipswich or God forbid, like Blackburn's last year.

I suppose critics of current club marketing strategy may look back and see how Fulham revealed their kit last year. A kit which, come to think of it, is among the worst I've seen in 35 odd years of football strip nerding.

Outstanding - in a Mid Morning Matters kinda way.

If we ordered a lot more (and i mean A LOT), we would get a better service from Adidas.
Unfortunately we are still a small club that they dont care about, while they bend over backwards for Chelsea etc.
Its all about numbers

 

[No_sting_Bee]

Why not a shirt just like last year's but this time same brightness but orange! LET'S GO DUTCH.

Then lets go with someone who does care, not one of the big 2

 

[Mr Tree]

i thought someone had found Aldershot had a better service, so it didn't appear to be entirely numbers-related. surely we sell four figures? our cricket club gets a proper service when we buy 50!

 

[DavidgRushden]

Personally, I say sod the so called "big kit" manufacturers. I remember Yeovil saying 3 seasons back when they were promoted to The Championship, that Sky should not pay L1 & L2 clubs
more money. Where are they now? Probably after next season in The Conference where they belong. Can't we make a deal with one of the the other manufacturers, and benefit both them and us?

Yeah, someone give Bukta a call

 

[the beast]

What about core

 

[lowercase_h]

What about Hobot? That lovely pinstripe shirt, that looked pink from a distance!!

 

[steve.bees89]

Bring back Pony

Its all about how many we order.
The likes of Chelsea may order 1 million for example (so all the chavs and plastics can wear them until they have to be peeled off), whereas we only order 3000.
Its obvious who Adidas will look after

 

[No_sting_Bee]

Why not get a 'local' firm to make it. Charity maybe goes along with the community thing and yes we would some revenue on the shirt but gain on other sponsors who like the idea and want on board.

 

[Brentford_till_die]

Remember someone at the club said that Adidas appeals to the youngsters who may want to sign for us.
