Title: New Away Kit
Post by: German Rover on June 13, 2024, 07:36:38 pm
Anyone got any ideas when we'll see this?

Hoping for a green hibernian style shirt again.

I hope not.

Did I not see a photo of it being plain dark blue or was that just a bogus one?

Green and white for me. I admit that there's a personal reason for that, but there are also Donny football connections.

The Donny boys team that jointly won the English Schoolboys Shield in the 1950s, in front of 15000 at Belle Vue, played in green and white.

Also, as mentioned above, Bremner's Rovers teams always played away in the Hibs strip of green shirts with white sleeves.

I seem to recall us playing it away at Scunthorpe at the Old Showground round about 1975. If I remember correctly, the programme had it as Chocolate Brown and Custard Yellow

Yes, and we bloody well lost 2-1, despite Kitch scoring.

A kit like this is one of the few ways the eco-power sponsor would look good I think

I’ve seen a picture of Olowu wearing a green and white hooped shirt but he looks the same as he did in the home shirt so not sure if it’s a photoshop

That Parma shirt is a great looking one Coventryrover, and would definitely get a big thumbs up for an away shirt from me.

Post by: streathamdave on June 22, 2024, 02:01:24 pm
Last night saw a green and white Celtic looking top being modelled by Olowu on my phone. Now I can't see it anywhere to check if it is real or a mock up someone has done. It was late and I had very low battery.

A Rovers fan on Twitter/X has done it, i was sent it and it's got his name on it.

The Donny boys team that jointly won the English Schoolboys Shield in the 1950s, in front of 15000 at Belle Vue, played in green and white.

Also, as mentioned above, Bremner's Rovers teams always played away in the Hibs strip of green shirts with white sleeves.

This put me in mind of the following match, and I quote the official DRFC record: “The Scottish Champions, Hibernian, were invited to Belle Vue on 4th March 1952 and a crowd of 18,474 witnessed the game that Hibs won 3-0.”

I think we were probably filling an empty Saturday after being knocked out of the Cup. I don’t think I realised at the time that they were Scottish champions and I had no idea where they were based, but the one thing that stood out at the time was that they were playing in colours reserved for Goalkeepers!
 
In those days no team ever played in black (which was what referees wore) and anything vivid would be ruled out as being unmanly! All football boots were brown - though rugby players sometimes used black; the reaction to pink or orange at that time would be unimaginable!

Ironically there was a period under Doherty I think when we played in white shirts and red collars and cuffs that I always thought was a bit too dainty. Fans didn’t wear them then of course. Rattles, often home-made and heavy to cart around, and scarves were the main equipment/emblems of allegiance, though I’m not sure about bobble hats.

Yes, mid 70s. Distinctly remember that kit in my first ever away outing at Oakwell. Managed a draw despite the dodgy colours. I have a press photo from a newspaper cutting somewhere in an old scrapbook. For those watching in black n white Doncaster are in yellow and brown!

Just looks like another poor photoshop. I don't know why he does it and presents it like it's a genuine shirt. Must love the attention or something. It's our home kit but with red changed to green.

Having said that, given the training kit range I'm expecting the away kit to have some green on it.

Tease on the official Twitter looks like sky blue with black horizontal pin stripe, reminiscent of the Nike hit in the Championship (think Coppinger listed it as his favourite shirt?)

Well it's certainly been rare for the last 40 years or so.

I just not like the colour sky blue. It's not for me. If fans like. It and it sells well then great. As long as the team performance in it then I'll be happy

Makes a change. The Man City effect I suppose.

I had the Umbro sky blue kit with diamonds down the sleeve in whatever season that was. 1978-9 centenary or around then. Dark blue shorts. Got it from Ray Harrison’s. I can remember seeing it in those wooden drawers in that shop.

When it no longer fitted (about a year later) I just binned it! Wish I’d kept it. Man City also had Umbro at the time. Their socks were exactly the same, the shirts slightly different.

Title: Re: New Away Kit
Post by: Silkscarf on June 26, 2024, 10:16:09 am
I could be wrong but I think those Umbro ones with the diamonds was the start of replica kits proper for us.

Yes you could buy a Rovers kit if you went to the club shop but it wasn’t widely available. For example my mate had the slightly shiny nylon red shirt with one white stripe down the sleeve. This was 1976ish. I had a similar looking Woolworth’s red shirt with white collar and cuffs. ‘Winfield’ brand.  I had the DRFC cloth badge ready to go on and even got a white ribbon which I was hoping my mum would sew on the sleeves! Never did.

The kids of today…etc.

Really like this kit. Looks classy sane as the team will be this season.
