Didn't like it at first! Saw it in the club shop a couple weeks ago though, and it looks a lot better in person.

Won't be buying one although I've seen worse, but the thing that puts me off the most with all the FBT shirts is the stick on badge that looks like an afterthought.

It looks like a kid has cut around the badge leaving a border for fear of making a mistake. I genuinely thought it was only like it for the mock ups, but horrified the the same applies to the real thing. Cheapens the whole look for me.

I agree about the badge. Really awful look.

I thought this had been raised following last year's shirts.

It isn't too bad. It's just the top bit near the neck and shoulders. Looks a right t**t.

In the shop max they have is 3XL, I hope its not like last years shirt with the length problem.

Got the away shirt coming on my Dad's silver membership. Looking forward to having a kick around in a Rovers top for the first time in about 8 years.

Congratulations on not being ashamed to admit you have a length problem on an open forum.

Not really impressed with the new shirt and agree with previous posts re the badge/quality - will not buy this season as not worth the money.

Don't know if anybody else is interested but Crewe's new kits are made by FBT. they've put a shield in their crest to sort the crest problem we have.

a neat solution - think on for next one.

I like that idea and Crewe's kit looks tidy. The only thing with our badge is it is a very odd shape so what shield would we put around it? Maybe a diamond shaped one?

Ours would look shit on a backing.

Crewe's kit looks miles better than ours!

Can't agree about that for a solution. Looks like they don't have the technology to emboss badges on to the shirts. I hope they find the technology soon as it could cost them in sales.

Only missing the green Dipsy and you've got a full set of Teletubbies...

That Crewe kit looks like a Man Utd kit.

I actually like the away shirt, I probably won't buy it myself but will get the boy a infants one if they are decent quality.
