Title: Practice kit launched
Post by: philsky on May 17, 2024, 05:10:57 pm

Friday at 5pm news - not earth shattering but I guess that’s all they’ve got.

Reading waaaay to much but neither Biggo or Moly included. Might be on hols I guess.

I’m just looking for crumbs :-)

Not sure on the 97/98 nostalgia kit. Giving me Daren Brookes, Harvey Cunningham & Prince Moncrieffe vibes.

The Prince. Very respectable record for us.

Prince Moncrieffe is a f**kin legend!

As a school kid at the time he was a player I looked upto. Great commitment, average ability but never gave up.
That clip of w%£ver bollocking him about offsides, even now I urge prince to punch him

Was surprised at the time he wasn’t kept on. Guess they wanted to get rid of all the Manchester lot.

Darren Brookes … had the (mis)pleasure of having to spend a couple of hours in his company once when he was at the Rovers, but at a non-football related social event … proper Grade A b*llend

Just released a green training top too. Green away kit for next season?

Oh please green away....please.

The away kit needs to be hoops whatever the colour. I don’t like black and we’ve not done well in black anyway, although I suppose black and white hoops would be an interesting variation.

Can we avoid white in the away kit?    I don't think it needs to be hoops.   Home kits are for identity, while away for experimenting .   Hope we stay clear of black being a dominant colour.

The colour of that training kit is different and quite nice

I know hoops are our thing but I always liked the old green away shirt that was more or less the Hibs home shirt.

African violet, with black please…

Should experiment with the old blue/yellow jockey shirt.

The coaches range just launched. I’d like green and black hoops with white numbers for the away kit

I'll put you in touch with BB and Wolfie. They've got one apiece from when some players threw their shirts into the crowd after a game.

Yes, numbers which can be read on video are very important especially early in the season when you can’t recognise new players.

The strange positioning of the white gloopy splash on the green training kit has been pointed out to me and now can't be unseen

I'd suggest a fluorescent green/dark green hoops combo on the away shirt. Maybe red edgings.

Or in a homage to the original Rovers home shirt colours, a navy blue and yellow hoops away top.
