I do like Adidas but as long as our shirts aren't as tight as Arsenal's I'll be happy...

Is that good?

It's definitely a thing!

I don't wear football shirts anymore.

the team do though

No Adult should wear one unless they are actually playing the game or at a push other sports

puma usually make poor quality stuff

In my generation the only way to wear the shirt, was to earn it by being good enough to play....sadly I wasn't.

What are you, the clothes police?

I wear mine on holiday. It got noticed when I was watching the Franchise game in a bar on the beach by a family from Swindon, who bizarrely supported West Ham.

Arms too long?

Looking forward to the STFC version of this

So not good then....hopefully a bit better than the classic "sackcloth" kit of Kingy's time, or the falling apart thing of Diamand Mike and Kingswood... :)

DGI...Dodgy Goods International.

Here's a list for examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Puma_sponsorships#Europe_2

Can't get em over my feet

Is gym acceptable mate?

RB, have you got a document about this? I wear mine to some games, play footy in it, wear it on holiday and wear it whenever I feel like it. But I'm 23, so I'm really hoping that means its OK for me... I don't want to get in trouble.

When is the cut-off point when you become an 'adult', I'd like to think I have another few years but I'd rather not take the chance.

When you can't get things like Interrail passes, because you're too old.

Wearing white socks with Jeebus sandals

I'll wear a replica shirt when slagging around the house. Perhaps the odd home game. Definitely not around Bedminster.

I hope this doesn't ignite Adi and Rudolf's feud all over again.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/8262040.stm

Pleased about this, decent kits.

who won the game? I suppose given they are both German they could still be on the penalty shootout, tied at 219,000 all sudden death.

Hope we don't get one of these

I think he meant because they are so tight
(http://www.footballkitnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/AFC-Puma-2014-15-Top.jpg)

Breathing in for 5 hours on a Saturday afternoon at the pub and the ground is gonna be a bit of an ask for most :D

I wouldn't even get that over my head  :)

Those have to be sprayed on surely?  :hmmm:

Edit: I know the Adver is most people's favourite punch bag at the moment but I rather liked this little story about Adidas and Puma which I kind of knew but had forgotten about...

http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/sport/swindon_town_2014/12895043.PUMA_bag_three_year_Town_kit_supplier_deal/

Bit of a problem for me, if you can't get a 12 pack in.

Why?

I think you should wear what the fuck you like and ignore sniffy cunts like redbuck.

I've got some puma shirts and shorts I use for running etc and they're fine. I'll go out on a limb and say "Quite nice" in fact. I'd say they're much of a muchness with adidas, Nike, Umbro etc.

EDIT: Just seen who posted the original so maybe the problem is they don't hold their resale value so well or something

Are they as tight as those Arsenal ones, that's an image....

Apparently the ones they sell to the fans aren't skin tight.

Red and white one of these please

I would hazard a guess we'll end up with something from here...
http://www.genesissports.co.uk/store/playing-kit/ (http://www.genesissports.co.uk/store/playing-kit/)

Fortunately not, no, that would be most unpleasant. But I don't have any Puma replica kit stuff although my kids do and they don't seem to be clingy (the kits or the kids).

I've got a few puma replicas to play footy in, they aren't that bad at all. Definitely not skin tight!

If choosing from that list it'd have to be the ACTV or the 5.12 for me. In red, of course.

The stuff they're showing now as for sale to the public will likely be the end of this or last season's lines - Powercat stuff is a couple of seasons old I believe. I'd expect the templates we choose from to be next season's so probably not on that website yet.

At work today we are doing the Booby Moore Fund/Cancer Research football shirt wearing day so I thought I'd wear my Town shirt to mix it up from the usual Chelski/Manure/Citeh/Liverpool tat.

Obviously with doubt an allowable exception

Chesterfield's new away kit next season
Red and Puma

Truly shit

Looks alright to me, it's mainly red with white trim which is the main thing.

Not a fan.

If they really are as tight as Arsenal's this might be the first season my boyfriend buys me one!

That Chesterfield one is horrible though. I never thought I'd call for something that isn't basic (without seemingly pointless stripes etc) but that just looks tinpot.

And that's the worst spelling of paint I've ever seen.

How come ? Are you sporting a decent rack ?

Not necessarily, but I'm sure he'd prefer to see his girlfriend in a brand new (and very tight) football shirt than the one I have now, which was made for men and is about 8 sizes too big.

Anyway, I can't say I wear it to games, but I wouldn't criticise those that do. I do find it a bit cringey when people have their names written on the back as adults but meh, it doesn't hurt anybody.

Haha yep get that
Though was given the away shirt for Xmas with WOOLY and 63 ( birth year ) on the back from stepson.
Only gets worn under a coat  :badmood:

That's a lovely gift rather than something you're going to wear regularly isn't it :) the sort of thing you could put in a frame one day perhaps.

I suppose it's weirder to get an actual players name given that they so quickly become obsolete. Perhaps the worst being Ranger (who we knew would leave, only the reason was undetermined - HMP or LP?). You had to admire anyone who got a Miglioranzi shirt when you had to pay by the letter.

or Troy A-H...

Fair play to you Ells.

You're young (ish), intelligent, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, interactive and can take a bit of banter. Not easy on a forum dominated by males going through a mid-life crisis. Well done gal...long may it continue....

Haha, thanks.

But no need for the young-ish! If I'm still only young-ish what does that make reg?  :girlgiggle:

No comment.

 :D

Please please please can we have an Embroidered badge and not that felt iron on rubbish!

You had to bring that up didn't you. Stupid  "Ince" shirt ..

I'm proud to say I still have my Miglioranzi shirt. Most of the letters have now fallen off after much love but...

And as far as the whole 'own name on back of shirt' thing I will admit to having my own surname on the back of my most recent one but only because it was bought for me by the lads I played football with at university.

Well that's conjured a mental image I'm going to struggle to get rid of...

If it's like the new wolves kit, it's fucking rank.

Looks like a pyjama top

same template as the Chesterfield away kit on page 3, with a different neckline. That's a shit kit.

HE WAS A HANDSOME MAN ALRIGHT?!

What's the problem with it? Seems nice and plain, red with a bit of white trim, job done. It's not like it's this one:
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0LNAr-8uC5s/VR5PKrCsSdI/AAAAAAAAgrw/y7DBFA1BYLM/s1600/Newcastle-United-15-16-Away-Kit.jpg)

I'd rather have a red and white version of that... it's bad enough to be terriblexcellent. the other is just bland, no design in it.

Fair enough. I quite like that (although I reserve the right to hate it once I see it "in the flesh" as it were), too many over-designed kits around these days.

I quite like the plainer kits as well. This 2004/5 effort is one of the better ones IMO...

Will the team be wearing the new kit at Wembley I wonder?

That in proper red please.

I like this style, hate Rangers though.

I think the new deal doesnt start till June so doubt it

Nah, we'll be wearing some inexplicable colour instead

It's been confirmed we're in Red.

You want a red and white version of a dead teams shirt?

As we're playing a team whose home kit is white it stands to reason we can't wear the white kit.

But this is football. On the day the ref'll probably decide we need to wear purple instead because the red clashes with his socks.

Hm, is it only me that finds a lot of the Puma templates a little too plain?

Sure, the intricate detailing is a nice touch; but it doesn't have much of a feeling of identity to it.

We'll have red shirts with white shorts next season, that's all that matters surely? Personally I prefer plain strips to ones that are over designed; it's football not a Paris catwalk.

Plain for me please. The plainer the better.

 ;D

Stick a badge and sponsors on that and I'd be happy! White alternate for away  :thumb:

Here you go, plenty of "identity" in this little beaut:

Whatever the new Puma kit looks like, I hope we launch it with a publicity video like this:

Well that is awful.

http://www.footballshirtculture.com/15/16-Kits/rotherham-united-2015-2016-puma-home-football-shirt.html

Quite like this...

I quite like this from Hearts

http://www.footballshirtculture.com/images/football/heart-of-midlothian-2015-2016-puma-home-away-kits.jpg

I like both of those ones..

Having said that, they're the same template just with the teams respective colours by the look of it.

home and away unveiled at 11 according to the club's twitter.

Came on to say the same. Can't wait!

Interested to see this....

It's bound to split the fanbase again... it always does :-)

wonder if the 'quality' will be the same as the new Newcastle shirt - the badges are like children stickers.
Those shirts won't last long

The OS is saying Imagine Cruising are sponsoring again.. what happened to that Axis sponsorship?

They're sponsoring the back of both shirts.

I hope its not a V Neck design like most of the other Puma kits.

That said, they do tend to keep things simple so perhaps we'll get a decent red home shirt

Away kit looks a bit... ghastly  :(
*Edited

Liking the home kit though. Classic.

Looks fine to me. You can't beat gold and black  :)

I love that home shirt.

Hate that away shirt. But the away kit could grow on me. I like black kits, but not a fan of the gold.

Away one looks like a training top. Both nice though - next to find out how tight they are  ;)

like the away kit a lot from the picture

To quote DMR, the home kit is mint!

Horrific, the home shirt is like a hand-me-down polo shirt that an African schoolchild would wear.

Guessing tight - club makes a point of saying it's available in sizes up to 4XL!

Looks like a rugby shirt.

The away one reminds me of the kind of uniforms fast food employees wear. Awful.

Both nice!

Who misses Adidas already?

Nah, these are far nicer.

Each to their own.

Both decent to be fair

Both decent

Like the home kit, away one looks awful though.

Really like the home kit.

STFC Twitter --> For those asking, the new shirts are NOT skin-tight fit and the badges on both kits are embroidered. #STFC

Embroidered badges  :toocool:

Away kit looks like a 20/20 cricket shirt.

Mind you Im not wearing one so I dont really give a shit.

I like the away kit.

Initial thoughts on the both kits are positive! Really like the away kit. Kinda looks like the training gear from last year...

(http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk//cms_images/newsiclaunch3247-1649782_478x359.jpg)

After a gander at the Imagine Cruising website, seems that black/gold/white are their colours.

Could it not be that the black and gold is the training top?

The away kit is launched some time away yet... they showed the home kit with the training top last season...

nope, they announced they were unveiling both home and away at 11am.

I like both of them.  Not sure about the gold badge on the away kit, but I think they both look nice.

I'll go for the black one, nice.

Agree with most, not sure about the away kit but will definitely get the home one.

Like them both. Collar and buttons, winner.

I wonder what the shorts and socks look like..

I quite like a hooped sock..

Club says they are not tight fit!!

Home shirt looks like a big girl's blouse. Button-up collar.  ::)

(http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj571/frenchreds/Unknown.jpeg) (http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/frenchreds/media/Unknown.jpeg.html)

Can't beat a red sock with white fold.

It's just a plain red shirt - Bit of an over statement isn't it?  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I'll tell you what I don't like about it, it makes us look like Bristol City :hmmm:
There, I said it -  Steve Lomas will be turning up next - summer's here  8)

Pleasantly surprised. And for the first time ever they're making ladies fit shirts, which is even better news.

Not that I'd pay £45. I'll wait til we get relegated and they go on sale  :girlgiggle:

I take one of each.

Very plain red with minimal white design, collar with buttons, not skin tight and embroidered badges. Fair play Puma.

Bloody lovely kits. Some old cunt will always moan though. Surprised nobody has said something like its the wrong shade of red.

Love the home kit, nice and plain. Not sure on the away, would've looked better without the white sleeves.

4 XL available. Who the fuck buys these ?

Fat people?

Fat ? They must be fucking colossal!

Um bongo and Gladwin miss photo shoot

Could be a reason why thet are the main sponsor on both kits on this coming season...

Or mr potato heads..

Who's the man that's not Mark Cooper on that picture?

I assume he's the boss of Imagine Cruising.

If I was imagining cruising, I reckon i'd drive past.

I bet the ladies fit will only be any good if you've got a nice flat stomach, which will be no good for me!

I quite liked them, but they don't seem to look as good on.  The collar looks really strange on the picture of Nathan Byrne in today's adver.

That was just an image of him superimposed on to an image of the shirt - he wasn't actually wearing it.

That'll be why it looked odd then!

:nod: 8)

Has anyone said it looks like a Bristol City kit yet, without being ironic?

Home kit: too much white on the sleeves for me, but could be a lot, lot worse.

Away kit: naah. Do away with the white and gold then fine. Like the idea of the adapted badge though.

Hope the club sell loads.

Ooooh lady fit - interesting
Can't remember the last time I brought a football shirt?

If you do away with the white and gold you're just left with a plain black t-shirt

Take your reason, take your sense, take your logic and fuck the fuck off.

See Barnsley have just unveiled their kit for next season

(http://i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab225/mark_woolhouse/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20150608_141055_zpsqnz4l8vf.jpg)

 :doh:

He looks really, really cross about it. Was he holding out for adidas?

Probably just found out its identical to ours  :cry:

No it's not, they haven't got a sponsor that sounds like they're inviting you to go kerb crawling. Completely different :)

 :clap:

It's a template, we haven't had 'unique' kits since Lotto came back in 2007.

Must we bemoan this necessity every summer?

Yes.  Yes absolutely, whinging year in year out about the same things is the exact thing we must do.  Its called tradition.

So many other teams have red fucking socks.

It's about time we had something different, that no one has ever had before..

Also, I bet we'll jump on the bandwagon and have the League One sleeve badges too!!

Why must we always look just like Bristol City??????

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

I always got shot down for it, but I loved just the little touch of green (on the socks or whatever).

At least Adidas made sure that the same template wasn't used by clubs in the same league (I think).

bit of a shame it's identical to the whippet botherers kit.

Who cares?

The new shirt is red and includes our badge (remember it was only a week or so ago when we swooned at the notion of Puma having our crest embroidered on) therefore it is perfectly adequate.

:clap: :clap:

My sentiments exactly.

How about the original black and red quarters?

http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Swindon_Town/Swindon_Town.htm

No they didn't. We always had the same template as someone who played in blue. Think it was Chesterfield. Seriously, as Costanza says, this is how kits are done these days, even in the top flights - Premiership sides, La Liga sides, they all choose a template from the major manufacturers then just get to select from a few different colours and slap their own badges/ads on them. They don't even reserve the newest templates for PL sides any more

Look at MLS teams (I know a lot of people don't give a fuck) as an example. All Adidas kits in that league are pretty much the same template.

Bring back ISIS as sponsors. At least they'd get rid of the goal music.

I thought about this recently. Would like to see it given a try for a season.

Just blow your nose on it...

Our kits must be nicer than Barnsley's anyway as they're 3 quid more expensive, right across the board, so they're obviously much better ;)

http://www.barnsleyfcdirect.co.uk/replica/home-kit

Agreed. It isn't 1997 anymore.

The disadvantage of the north/south divide. The advantage being its worth a lot more than £3 not to live in Barnsley.

My comment on being disappointed wasn't that it was the same template, we all know how that works these days, more that its exactly the same colour too. Its not the end of the world, provided they don't have the same away kit colours too. Bring on the Puma derby.

I think theirs may be a lighter red if that helps?

it does chalky, it does

Nah they have just washed theirs a couple of times!

we got off lightly, it seems...

(http://www.footballshirtculture.com/images/football/girondins-de-bordeaux-2015-2016-puma-third-football-shirt.jpg)

 :puke:

Quite. One to bear in mind for everyone who's been moaning the design of our kits is "plain" or "boring" - be careful what you wish for.

Looks fucking great... Almost like wings. I'll in a minority of one here, I expect.

I thought it was supposed to be water - presumably of the Gironde.

I thought the Girondin, were a political grouping during the Revolution, who ended up on the wrong end of the Terror.

Not quite the same colour as Lens' sange et or.....blood and gold, but could be a river of blood.

Ah, les Enoch de Bordeaux.

Didn't know the revolutionary reference - your historical knowledge is, as ever, impeccable. I assumed the club name simply derives from the river that runs through the city, and the name of the département of which Bordeaux is the administrative capital.

Not far away is the rugby town of Castres, whose players (and inhabitants) are known as Castrais - which sounds the same as the word for castrated. Hardly a rallying cry, you'd think.

I just came across this whilst trawling a Wendies forum, trying to find some kind of news or update re. Cooper. Where do you begin??
