Title: New shirts
Post by: Danmckay456 on June 15, 2016, 12:38:02 pm
Had a look online and they looked decent , went down to the club shop to have a look and buy one and must admit I was very disappointed with the quality , the material used is very cheap and the sponsorship logos look dreadful , maybe one of our worst kits in a very long time 👎👎👎

What does the Rovers badge look like?

Firstly, I'm subscribed to this because I'm the masochistic type.

The thin material on the shirts was explained to me as a design choice. I was told it is actually more expensive than the alternative and it was chose over that. It's the type of 'aerated' material that is good for the players on a hot day but not good for supporters on a tuesday night in December.

I've had mine longer than anybody and it has held up to the same standard as the day I got it (I wear it for pottering around the house I'm not so stupid as to go out in public with it). No snags, nothing came off in the wash, no discoloration or anything really. So it might look cheap but it isn't.

The badge is gold. Very gold. But again, the quality isn't an issue.

The blue Thai lines are nowt to do with me. I did try to tell people at the club but it was too late.

I thought the badge looked better than the shirt to be honest , think it's because when I it first was shown I didn't mind the new design but each to their Own , the away shirt looks better then the home in my opinion up close

The material looks like Pro star football kits from the Sunday league days ;-)

You have to play the long game with the home shirt. Not appreciated now but will be a retro classic in 20 years time in a 'do you remember that one' kind of way.

Black to plain red and white hoops next season no doubt.

Grandad Len's is the better design, some serious thought went into that one... :coat:
