well they have normally been announced before the end of the season as we were asked to vote on a strip

If it is Adidas I expect us to wear a red version of the Posh Kit

My first proper boots were Patricks which were pretty standard and did the job. I used to tell everyone Patricks were quality because Brian Laudrup wore them. That said, I used to go through loads of astro boots - the old Puma Kings and the surprisingly ugly yet good Adidas Predators.

Who remembers CICA blades, the original blade soled boot?

Post by: sonicyouth on Thursday, May 7, 2009, 16:26:36
i had a pair of patricks, as worn as chris sutton. they were strangely square.

on the subject of the new kit, i overheard a conversation in the club shop today about new kit coming next week. i wasn't paying attention so i may be entirely wrong...


Title: Re: New Kit Announcement!!

Exactly, all the fashionable brands copied them. Never hd a pair but they must have been decent.

I think I had some Mizunos at some point and certainly some diadoras as well.

If our kit is not made by CICA I'm going to be very upset.

Post by: DiV on Thursday, May 7, 2009, 16:37:07
Lotto, Acsics, Predators 97, Puma King, Nike Tiempos, Predators 02 (white, best boots EVER!), Nike Total 90s (original design worst boots ever!), Predators 07 (fucking wank, only boots I've had that actually feel apart. I still play 5 a side in them. Shit value for money, esp since my 02 Preds lasted 5 years), Nike Total 90s (newer design)

Post by: Arriba on Thursday, May 7, 2009, 16:53:54
my first boots were gola with plastic uppers. i still remember not being able to feel my toes in the cold. for a kid at pinehurst primary, having a pair of boots at all was a bonus though.i then had a pair of dunlops with a silver stripe on them and they were quite nice.i put all my pocket money towards some metal studs for them.after them i had a pair of puma dalgleish which took all my birthday money to buy from world of sport(remember that shop?)



Title: Re: New Kit Announcement!!
Post by: Batch on Thursday, May 7, 2009, 18:08:18
I think my first non moulded pair were Mitre with a 7 stud configuration - which was good because ????

I've tried Nikes, Adidas and so on, but the best pair of boots I had were Hi-Tec ones. They did fall apart though. As did my 01 Predators.

Had a pair and liked them a lot, wore them beating most of Farnborough's team in a friendly in about 1994.  I now have Adidas somethings and some Particks that I bought in a closing down sale.  this summer I will be mostly wearing astros as the weather will be hot and dry.


Title: Re: New Kit Announcement!!
Post by: Peter Venkman on Thursday, May 7, 2009, 18:26:58
My first decent pair were Patrick Keegan Kings in '78, soft kangaroo leather, 6 screw in 'half length' studs.

So far ahead of the opposition at the time which were all hard leather/plastic uppers and as Arriba says...nasty in the cold and wet, kick the ball and it stung for ages or you just couldnt feel your feet, even in the warm weather. Something the Patricks never did as they always fitted like a "foot glove"!

To be fair they have not officially announced EA but EA's Fifa '10 is on their backdrop for photo's along with 4-4-2, so we can take it as official.

Wouldn't suprise me if someone said on "good authority" it was adidas. Which is exactly why I never get carried away with these things. Not blown away by that bog standard adidas kit (Plymouth one) so I'd be equally happy if its not them...

Actually, no, thats a lie, I want adidas so I can see the look on my Premiership supporting associates collective faces.

The russia kit looks more like a rugby shirt. I don't see the point in the stupid climacool fabric built into the underarm areas of the kit because players thesedays are wearing them stupid under-armour style skin tight shirts, so the climacool is made redundant. From what i've seen, if we have chosen adidas over joma i'd be unhappy because the joma kits, although basic, look alright.

Only time will tell i suppose.

Although I'm not sure I like the adidas clause that says all the Spanish team have to have 3 black stripes marked on their cheek whenever they wear it....thats just branding gone too far in my opinion.

If we could have a spin on this one it would be cool.

I'm sure we could as there certainly doesnt seem to be much national 'strip exclusivity' these days as I see that Man City's new one is just a kippax blue version of the England kit.

I remember Forest did all their replica kits in womens sizes not so long ago, they sold a shed load. Not sure if this is a common practice or not.

Why are you so sure about that?
Why would Addidas bother getting involved directly with a club that wont make them much money? More Hassle than its worth. Even Aberdeens kit isnt done directly with Nike. And im sure the other teams down at this level (sarfend??) wont be direct deals with big name manufacturers either.

I remember Forest did all their replica kits in womens sizes not so long ago, they sold a shed load. Not sure if this is a common practice or not.

Because there is no money in it. How many would they sell? 100? 200?

We were wondering the same thing. They explained the astro turf was to cover the man hole covers, but then failed to expand to the obvious question of why they've got them at the corners of the pitch. Though they did say the pitch was already as small as possible under the rules, so they couldn't reduce the size of the pitch further to get them out of the field of play.


Title: Re: New Kit Announcement!!
Post by: @MacPhlea on Tuesday, June 9, 2009, 20:08:15

Man holes are simply there to gain access to stuff under ground. The question is therefore, why do they need access under ground.

My badly made point was not that Owen should be in the squad.  It was that by the same selection logic (form, fitness) Neville shouldn't either.  Although to be fair we'd still win if fB was at right back.  And he is, trust me, a terrible right back.  Probably a better third choice keeper than Carson though.

So basically the decline of the English striker is pretty much your fault. If it wasn't for you groundsmen types meddling and interfering with your rakes and the like, then there might be more trees growing on pitches for players to tear up. Shocking!


Title: Re: New Kit Announcement!!

Most trees on football pitches have indeed been torn up, and stored underground - hence the need for man holes, and thus man hole covers

Totally stupid I know. I'd eat a doner kebab, a rum baba can't be worse for you/more risky than a doner. I suspect it's because I've never got pissed and fancied a rum baba.

they sound nice - I wish to try one!

They are indeed ace....Everyone should try one at least once.... why not pop into Stavs (or whatever its called now) at the bottom of Vic Hill on your way home from work?

My first time was after a terrible, terrible Thursday night out at "New York New York" I think I was very ill the next day, due I hope to the Diamond White and not the Rum Baba.....

And before anyone disses me for drinking Diamond White, I was 17.... and I was in New York New York FFS...

Having had a look at a few new Adidas kits for the 09/10 season they are all very different, look at Chelsea/Newcastle etc. Not a big fan of that Boro one, or indeed of having a kit thats so similar to another league club. Would take a red version of chelsea's new kit though


Title: Re: New Kit Announcement!!
Post by: Arch Stanton on Thursday, June 18, 2009, 08:25:58
Large kit manufacturers have different templates for different levels of club.

For example - Chelsea, Bayern, Liverpool would all get a level one template.

Derby, Middlesbrough and Peterborough would get the next template down etc etc

We may be bundled in with Derby but there could be a lower template that we might get offered.

Spain look like they've got a level 2 template, but that was a choice probably made by their FA as they could incorporate more navy blue on the shirt using this template.

What I'd like is for a red shirt with perhaps a white trim just around the end of the arms and neck. If it's Adidas we'd also have the three stripes and that's it.

All these kits with a bit of white here and a bit of white there look a bit crap.

I always thought the green on our shirt was from our old badge and the train on it. ie the green which represented the Great Western Railway (Reg). which would be why we had Green in the "diamond" badge?  Remember when our current badge came out, people were pissed of becuase the train was not green. It was red who represented LMS a rival railway company "back in the day" and not the green of GWR.

I think it's fair to say that when a lot of fans get past a certain age, they are much less likely to buy replica strips for themselves.  That is certainly true for me - I've not bought a shirt now for 10 years or so.  So it's a smart move to expand the range of merchandise well beyond what it is now.  I would be much more likely to wear a well made fleece or something similar.

It will be interesting to see if this results in more kit / merchandise sales. You'd have thought people (especially kids) will be more likely to want it now its got Adidas / EA / FourFourTwo all over it, which is almost bordering on cool.

Its not going to happen, but I'd prefer it if they kept the design simple as it looks a lot better away from a football match - a single colour with the logo's and stripes. There again, Umbro went old skool with the England kit and if anyone knows how to do old skool its Adidas - they just have to reuse their designs from 30 years ago.

Great bit of exposure and as someone mentioned a Town shirt would look cool. WIth our sponsors and kit suppliers we wouldn't look out of place in the Premier League, lets just hope they don't charge Premier League prices for the kit £39.99 unless they keep it for 2 seasons which could be a possibility which means fans would be paying avg. £40.00 for 2 seasons instead of £60.00 on home shirts saving money

Some interesting adidas information for you: The original company was founded by the Dassler brothers, Rudi and Adi. After some years of relative home-land success they went their separate ways with Adi Dassler forming 'adidas', and Rudi going on to produce the 'Puma' brand.

Don't we all say it wrong as well, supposed to be said adi-das rather than adeedas. I think.

Great bit of exposure and as someone mentioned a Town shirt would look cool. WIth our sponsors and kit suppliers we wouldn't look out of place in the Premier League, lets just hope they don't charge Premier League prices for the kit £39.99 unless they keep it for 2 seasons which could be a possibility which means fans would be paying avg. £40.00 for 2 seasons instead of £60.00 on home shirts saving money

Seeing we only agreed a one year deal with EA Sports, The shirt will be for one season.

Although its a graphical representation, gives you a good idea of how our kit evolved.....

I like the red and black horizontal pin stripes, now that would be a different kit!

1980-81 for me. Keep it simple and bring back the ST roadsign badge! Absolutely no need for the white squiggles and white sleeve like the new Plymouth and Boro kits.

Same style but all black for away kit, or maybe a la Uruguay - both would mean we would not need a third kit and the home shirt would go with the away shorts and socks, and vice versa.

Its a bloody shirt (oh, with socks and shorts)...who cares what it looks like. as long as the football being played in it is to a standard to keep us up - who gives a shit if its black, pink, violet or dirty grey. The next things you'll all be wanting is for timlin to stop wearing the skins underneath a short-sleeved shirt; for Greer to have a shave every few days (especially before matches) and  for the whole team to wear matching boots - can't have Macklin wearing bright ones with a red socks, i mean its untidy as fuck.

Marketing ploy - Man U Reject kits - away kit, Liverpool reject home kit - home kit. Sell with Velcro reversible badges.  The plastics can pretend to be Swindon at the CG and Man U/Liverpool down the pub.

We can keep Cox by turning his badge around to make him think he's playing for Liverpool. Footballers are easily fooled.

Badge does look slightly odd position, but I think the left hand shoulder is slid further round the hanger than the right making it a bit more lop sided than it is.  I think it'll be OK unless you have freaky shoulders.

Theres a whole load of new polo shirts and stuff on the online store,i don't if there in the shop - i've never seen them in there when i've been in/havn't seen them on the site up 'til now.

I don't like the new shirt, the stripe irritates me, especially the one at the bottom. The away one will no doubt have the same pattern, which will look worse red on white  - a bit like the poor lotto away shirt when kingswood were sponsors.

Dunno if its been mentioned or not but my mate who is 6 foot 7 just been into the club shop and apparently they are only going up to xxl this season instead of the usual xxxxl he needs a 4xl due to his height and the xxl when measured up on him just covers his belly button.

I think a fair few "outsize" fans will be very dissapointed with that. Apparently its Adidas not the club as the club ordered them but Adidas aren't supplying them.

I don't think people really care about what the kit looks like on the players, it's more the fact that they want to buy one and thus want it to look good. Of course people will say "if you don't like it don't buy it", but if we sell just 3,000 shirts in a season we're talking over £80,000 of revenue (allowing for discounts, cheaper prices for kids...). It'd be interesting to see how much sales are correlated to supporters' opinions on the design

I like the new shirt. It's Addidas, that alone makes it better than previous years and I can't think of a kit in the last 10 years+, which was actually "good". Strikeforce, DGI, Lotto, Lonsdale... Did we have a Lonsdale, i'm not even sure now?!

We could've had that this year,its in the adidas catalogue for teams to choose from (if i find the link i'l post it). The same as spain's & i'm pretty sure theres a team in the english league with that kit. Would love to have it next season.

A whole week in last years fashion. The shame. JFW would turn in her grave if she were dead, which thankfully she isn't.

Oh god I just saw the pictures on the OS of todays training in "so last seasons" kit
I felt a teeny tiny bit sad inside
Oh and whilst we are on the subject of fashion - on those pictures there is one of a black man with bulging muscles running??? Who is he??? WHAT are those pantaloons he is wearing???? with some kind of top looks like its been sprayed on???

So may wrong things

How can you tell its "better quality" from a dodgy photo?

Looks better quality and being better quality are too different things.

Anyhow, I like it and like the fact its a decent sports brand :)

I went in today to pre-order kits for my lads and can confirm:

1) The mini-kits are full kits (but normal kits in small sizes aren't)
2) The away kit will be unveiled and available to order on the 23rd - they reckon the first lot will get snapped up, so get orders in quick (on the 23rd)
3) The new kit looks really smart - like others, I'm no great fan of the widdly "coke stripe" thing, but the combination of addidas, FourFourTwo and EASports makes a real statement that this is a proper football club, with proper kit and proper sponsors. Made me proud

For those that aren't fans of the squggly line, Peterborough's strips introduced last season had a home one identical to ours except in blue and had a very smart black plain away number which I am hoping that we will go with.

However it'll probably be white with a stupid red squiggly line.

I doubt it, if our away and home kit clash with their home, then they'll be told to wear their away kit - referees don't see home and away kits as that, merely different colours to distinguish the two teams (so the away team could wear their home kit, whilst the home team wear their away.) If both home and away kit clash (in any combination) then the home team will have to change strip to a third which is distinguishable from one of the two kits the away team takes with them (this only happened once last year though, with Villa and West Ham, so i don't think its a major concern)

Clubs get into trouble with the FA if they arrive on a matchday with a kit the referee deems to close to the opponent. We've always produced a 3rd kit in the past and hardly worn it, I' m just suprised it hasnt been mentioned yet.....its a cash cow ready to be milked...

They tend to release those a bit later in the season though. If they release it now people will have a choice of three. If they release it later, people will buy a home/away shirt now and then if/when they see a sweet new thrid shirt released they'll buy that aswell.

I guess if they go with a White-red away kit they would need a 3rd kit by September for our away game against Walsall

1980-1981, who would be the best person at the club to e-mail enquiring if there are any plans to re-release (or probably release for the first time, replica shirts wern't the craze they are now in the early 80s) this old Swindon adidas shirt?

in the interest of the club, most people at the club are probably not even aware this shirt ever existed in the first place....so could probably miss out on a potential money spinner.

in my interests, i think the shirt is very cool and would love to own one. i think if we they got a few e-mails saying this is probably the coolest shirt in the clubs history and we'd definitely buy one....they could get on the blower to adidas to sort it out.

Highly unlikely I'd have thought - all kit manufacturers work to templates these days and even in the extremely improbable case adidas did then AND still have the template, I don't think they'd be interested in doing a special run of something that's not in their current template catalog (using materials they or their licensed manufacturers probably don't even stock any more) for the sake of a few hundred sales at best. Kit manufacture just doesn't work like that, nice idea though it is.

That said,  I'm only surmising and I don't suppose there's any harm asking the question.

I'm guessing Adidas have little to do with it and some middle man buys the shirts in bulk from Adidas and then slaps the relevant logo's on. With the middle man being the one that is going to be running the club shop.

The new away kit is white, with a blue swirl on the front, similar to the white one on the home kit.

The logo for EA FIFA 10 is in blue, with FourFourTwo in red at the back.

In my opinion, it's slightly better looking than the home one.

Available for collection on 18th August, the Southampton game.

I tend to alternate buying the home and away shirt, this year its the away kit's turn to be purchased, but I'm not too sure about it to be honest. I think I was spoiled by Lambourn's away shirt mock up, I'd have bought that in a flash....

Probably end up buying it though, might push the boat out and get a name and number on the back, never done it before but I'm feeling adventurous... what colour would the number's be? blue?

On another note, I noticed the Adidas tracksuits were £70 in the shop - bloody rip off to say the least in my opinion.

Just been in the snazzy new club shop this morning and I was well impressed. And for the first time ever, I actually bought some STFC "leisurewear". Previously, I've been well disposed to the idea until confronted with the actual stuff on offer which has tended to be, um a bit naff, but I really like the new stuff. Going to get one of the t-shirts for the kids as well. And apparently this is just the start of the range, they're going to get more of the general adidas sports/leisure range in as well and "brand it while u wait" with the iron-on logos. Dead impressed!

I meant dead impressed with the overall range/ideas/shop rather than the iron-on logos per se. But that does strike me as a good idea - it means the club shop can offer a much wider range of goods without having to order masses up front. That seems to me to be a good idea

They were just putting out some pyjamas. Hope that helps.

Also went in this morning when I dropped the kids off to FITC, kids shirts cost me £85 for 2 new shirts with names and number on the back :( The goalkeeper kit is very nice still not sure about the home kit but anything is better than Millwal's new away kit [url width=320 height=320]http://www.millwallfc.co.uk/javaImages/dc/eb/0,,10367~6810588,00.jpg[/url]

I went in the shop for the first time today to check out the new gear.

The iron on logo looks shit, cheap and tacky to me. Admittedly, as iron on logo's go its a decent one but I don't think that makes up for it myself. Bearing in mind the premium they've added to the prices of Adidas gear without the logo's, they are taking the piss.

I can't help but wonder if Adidas wanted to clear some old shit out of their warehouse, so they offered it all to Swindon then got some temps in to iron the logo's on. The end result is it all looks like Adidas gear, with iron on logo's - the sort of thing you'd get from a market.

Only thing that tempted me was the goalkeepers shirt, except all the goalkeeper bits spoiled it. Its a pity they didn't use that design for the away kit, I'd have bought one.

A goalkeepers shirt with "goalkeeper bits"? What were they thinking?

Me and Hertha had the same conversation at half time and came to the conclusion that

1. The keepers kit is lush if it wasnt for the padded elbows

2. The keepers kit is only for fat little kids

That's what I meant to say.

And no I didn't buy anything. Which is saying something as I'm 100% Adidas and was planning to buy loads of stuff, but as I said before it just looked cheap, tacky and over priced. I need some more sports gear and will just buy the regular Adidas stuff instead, which is a bit sad.

Errrmmm, sorry if this has been mentioned before, or I'm being a bit thick, but where are the players names going to go on the new shirt? Doesnt look a whole lot of room unless they're going to be sliding the numbers down a bit?

Or perhaps we're going a bit 'South American' and will have the names below the numbers a la Sao Paolo?

A guy at work says that you have to have names on the back. FA rules or something??

Is this true?

If not I would rather not have names, will look better than squashing it all up


Title: Re: New Kit Announcement!!

Yes it is FA rules.

And you must use the official football league lettering.
