It just doesn't look right!

The sponsor's about belly button level!

A smaller sponsor would be OK

Thats fucking silly. What a bad bad bad kit. Im not buying that. The sponsor may as well be on the shorts!

That's what I thought about the sponsor, why's it so low?

If some of the older supporters (Fred) tuck that in their jeans they'll lose the "group"!!

Plus that guy has man boobs like me so I have seen first hand the kit wont look good on me  :oops:

they should move the lotto badge to the left and move the club badge up level with it to the right then move the sponsor up.

Is he wearing a XXXL size? Looks like a dress on him!

Simon Cowell would lose the leaf!

Err, I think the shirts too big for him more than anything else.

But hey, anything for a whinge. It is a shit kit but it'll grow on me I'm sure.

The club are doing their bit to help with a merchandise boycott with that kit. :chunder:

If you get that one you'll have to grow into it.

think ill be sticking with the Toffs '74 shirt that served me so well last year :)

That is fucking minging.  I think 'll save my money this season!

Looking at the badge, someone stole our motto (off that Lotto).

Im in the wrong job, these designers get paid shit loads and come up with crap like that.

Its all so out of place, it really is rubbish. And that shirt is far too big for him.

looks cheap and tack - forgive me but whos the guy modelling it??

And that's the designers fault?

I'm hoping it looks better in smaller sizes. We knew what the design was months ago so I don't know why people are whinging about it now.

No that is the club/photographers fault. The bad design and positioning of the badges and sponsor is the designers fault.

I was told that the club refused to stock that shirt in the shop, not sure if thats still the case but if its still true then I would suggest that this is a better alternative for those who don't want to give the board money for the new one.
Though be careful when you wash it unless you want to end up with pink collars like mine did!

Sorry but that is the worse kit we've ever had, fucking awful.

The badge looks likes it was sewed on by a primary school kid.

Is this just a bad joke? Please say yes.

That looks fucking rank!

Jeremy Newton, COE Manager according to the OS

Most of the time new bad kits are hyped up to a level where I think they are not really that bad. As soon as I saw this, it reminded me of a pure pub team kit. It's terrible and looks something you used to get from the market.

As JFW has asked, who the fuck is the guy in the photo?  I haven't got a clue either  :oops:

Edit - Cheers Dachau!!

Agreed.

The huge leaf makes it look like a fucking Canadian kit or something ...

Look at the badge quality in this pic!

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y153/Ralphy-Boy/shit.jpg

The new away kit?

http://www.icejerseys.com/images/vintage_collection/maple_leafs_big.jpg

I like it.

Quality international design.  :mrgreen:

Indeed, where is the bottom part of the badge?  :soapy tit wank:

i think the Kingswood logo looks ok.

it's just all out of proportion.

the logos all need moving around to make it fit better.

plus as others have said i think the guy is wearing an XXXXXXXXXXXXXXL shirt.

Oh him!! - good old Jezza!  :shock:  :?

The kit maker, badge and sponser are all in the same position in the middle of the shirt, below one another! It looks amateurish!

Thats awful!  :soapy tit wank:

Not that i was going to buy one anyway :wink:

It looks like a non league kit.

With Nationwide as our sponser we looked like a league club.

Kingswood Group, who in the cunts name are they!

I must admit our shirts looked more professional with a carefully thought out logo of a large national company - Nationwide

On the plus side, at least it's not skinny fit!

It'll probably grow on us, especially when we see the players wearing the correct sized shirts :D

vile,  :chunder:

Yep.

But Nationwide didn't want to sponsor us anymore.

So lets move on....................................... 8)

I'll have to grow to fit into that shirt!

Their not skinny fit, their fatty fit.

Wanna bet ? :wink:

They have got an xxxl shirt and put it on Mr Bean to make it look baggy

Look at the size of the neck openening and where the logo sits.

Look at the way they have cropped the picture so high.

The original picture shows the shirt finishes around his knees

 :D

Or it's just too big for him Ralph.

I know. I was just messing.

It's the badge which has annoyed me.

So poorly presented.

Well if it is skinny fit Fred, I hope they'll have a decent range of polo shirts :D

Skinny fit shirts only look good on runty people :wink:

Since going to the gym alot more, i can just about get away with skinny fit shirts now.

 :soapy tit wank:

I think (hope, pray!) that it's just a prototype. Even a girl at work said the leaf was far too big and shouldn't be bigger than the badge.

I'll still buy it no doubt.

I have a Lotto kit for an Italian Serie C2 side and the material they made it out of is this weird stretchy stuff that REALLY doesnt flatter fatties.

The Lotto badges on the sleeves look the same as the one on that shirt which reminded me of it.

And having the lotto logo and Club crest under each other works fine on international shirts with no sponsors but makes it look far too long on that one.

I have no problem with the Kingswood Logo, just needs to be more central.

This is the one that it reminds me of, but they've got the club crest over to the side and the sponsor much higher up...

http://www.anconacalcio.it/images/stagione2005/gallery/imageb/ansapla.jpg

God we're gonna look so amateur.

I voted for the other designs - because it was blatantly obvious that this kit would be atrocious... At least with the other option it would have looked like a football shirt suitable for a 3rd tier football club - Too many people liked the idea of having a similar kit to the bloomin' Ukraine national team.

Even if all options were shite - we the fans picked the kits therefore we can't complain.

The most disturbing thing is that I'll buy these kits  :D

the man on the right has no neck

It is reassuring to know that our concerns will be listened to, considered and acted upon though.

Awful just awful

He was the appointed 'headerer' for the team. Whenever the ball was in the air he would have to head it. And they made him train using an old style leather ball filled with sand.

He's got no neck but a guarenteed starting spot.

that ancona kit is alright, which makes it even more absurd that our kit is now utterly shite. do lotto provide plain kits and the club then has to finish the design?

Our kit looks very funny :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

nice to see the pitch is doing so well too

It has to be the 'proto-type' surely? It can't be right.

I don't mind the new home kit, i've always liked the ukraine shirt so i quite like this shirt, however the sponsor is too low down, they should have put the lotto badge on one side with the badge higher up and then the sponsor could be higher up, or have lotto on one side, the club badge on the other side and the logo in the middle near the top......

Does anyone know when the away shirt is coming out? i'm sure they are out this month sometime?

They originally said that the away shirt would come out at the end of June, like it normally does. That's a few weeks away, so who knows?

If you look at the kit you can see it is massive, and I think the reason it all looks so spaced out and the sponsor so massive is that the shirt is a huge size. If you look where the sponsor is, it's in the same position as Chesterfields...

:cry:
I was really looking forward to actually having the current season's kit....
...but I'm not gonna bother now

Can I suggest Retro day for the first match - everyone wear their favourite old shirt (but no-one wear this seasons)

Are we contracted to Lotto for a few years or just the one? Seems to me that the sooner we can get a different shirt maker the better.

Bring back Loki, or even Diamond Leisure!

I think its bloody minging!! But of course I will be buying one  :|

without sounding too funny why would you buy something you think is minging?

surely it's a waste of £35

Because I have bought a shirt every single season since supporting swindon, I can NOT go to a game without wearing my shirt  :D  And it has to be a new one.
They always grow on me eventually!!

I'm no different.

I'm hoping the away one looks nicer...Somehow.

Actually, if you look at the pic on Sturrocks update (http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/SturrockDetails/0,,10341~1033784,00.html) within the context of the whole shirt the sponsor actually looks quite small..

Do you two sit there making love in your shirts

 :D

Dont get angry tails, fancy a buca?

the kit is horrible and so is the badge!

Cunt. :(

Only because it's further away.

No way, I'm not getting love liquids on my brand new shirt.

Its toothpaste honest :oops:

I washed all my bed linen earlier and i think i put far too much powder and fabric softener in because now there are huge white patches all over my bed sheets!  :o

I can't hang them out to dry cos it looks like spunk.

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick: Bless you ralphus. You need a maid.

haha oh dear, I thought last years was bad enough.

Are we keeping the reds shorts for our home kit?

I still think it's poor that they haven't included the badge motto on that kit.

That is poor very poor shocking :shock:

that may be the cause of the problem :wink:

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:
Higly amusing,but oh so wrong!

It should be pretty obvious that you can't have the Lotto logo and the badge and the sponsor's logo all in the middle of the shirt. There is not enough room.

Ideally, the badge and the lotto logo need to be to the side. One on each man boob as it were (or a little bit higher). Where they would normally be in fact. The sponsor's logo can then be moved up to take its rightful place at round about chest height.

If Lotto insist that their logo has to be in the middle, the badge could still be moved up and over to the left or right. Again, the sponsor's logo would then be at a reasonable height.

Can one of you computer geeks do a photo shop thingy and show what it would look like if both the Lotto logo and the badge were moved and the sponsor's logo moved up accordingly and another with just the badge moved?

If they did one of those things it would look ok. There must be time to change it.

It's not f******* rocket science after all :roll:

I just think it's missing a dash of green, looks really plain

The chesterfield version has the badge much closer to the Lotto logo.

The good thing about it is that the green has finally gone.

The green wouldn't have saved it.

Like this?

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i151/sam_stfc/shirt1.jpg

much better imo

It still looks shit.

The badge just isn't right.

Exactly. That would be fine.

why!?  :boohoo:

No matter which way you swap things round, your eye is drawn to the lotto logo and not the club badge because it's too bland. Which I fucking said would happen (when on a red shirt) and it's wrong. Fucking clueless.

I think that looks a lot better.

The bad fitting shirt dont really help though. And i hate that big fucking leaf!

Don't like it, won't be buying it. But I'm not going to make more fuss over it.

that looks so much better in terms of design. the fit remains awful, mind

can i just say that jeremy newton is quite a small bloke (5ft 8 at the very most)?

and that's clearly a huge shirt.

also, the pitch is coming along nicely.

That guy looks like he has tits in it which makes me think im going to look extrememly well stacked in it :mrgreen:

Lotto shirts are shit...and this proves it.

the badge looks to small compared to the sponser logo and lotto's logo. the badge is the smallest thing on there.
Kit looks worst than i thought it would

Which may be deliberate so people don't spot it's a skinny-fit mega-tight "you're all going to look a right bunch of fat bastards in this" job.

To be fair, it may also be just that this is a mock-up they've had made up so people can get a rough idea what they'll look like rather than being an actual "production" job - the finished version may look a bit better and less raggedy-arsed <clutches wildly at straws>

you cant have the big leave then the company name underneath as there isnt enough space....

The should havbe the text going through the middle of the leaf if that makes sense

continuing dv's rather mature critique of the intricacies of the design... the shirt seems to be quite busy with emblems, logo's, and stylistic flashes which are built into the shirt template.  i do fear that it will look even more crowded once the coca cola football league badge is added to the upper arm.

 :(

If a giant shirt on such a tiny little guy can still produce that much man boob up-liftage, then I'm not buying one.

as the proud owner of the largest moobs on this forum, i definitely won't be buying one. not that i intended to anyway.

i'm going to spend my £35 on an oxford shirt

I just can't see me in one either.

Gonna be a Henri Llloyder this season.

Good luck at Millwall away  :soapy tit wank:

I've been watching Real Football Factories, ID and Green Street. Those sarf lundan cunts don't stand a chance.

Usually I really like our shits, I've bought the last however many  but the home one is rank.....

:D

a strangely appropriate piece of mis-spelling methinks.

fuck sake, my typing has been retarded lately. I think I'm getting dumber?!

Maybe if you got a job you wouldn't be so stupid  :D

I think that the patches will go over the lotto logo on the sleeve

It's grown on me a little since yesterday, although I prefer Sam's version. Why the big leaf? WHY!? :?

Because they thought it would be treemendous and they probably think you are barking mad.

I actually chuckled at that. God i need to get out more :|

It doesn't say on the website when the away kit is coming out....anyone know when it's out?.....obviously the home one is out in july and the away one always comes out before but i'm wondering if the away shirt is being released this month??.....

good question.

it is not beyond the realms of possibility that the away kit has been totally overlooked.

Basically, get rid of the leaf and we're fine! Or have a smaller leaf next to the words 'Kingswood Group'. Why does nobody cnnected to thisc lub have any common sense?!
 :x

can't be arssed to read the last 8 pages but has anyone else notice they've missed some of the badge off on the new shirt?

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10341~1033605,00.html

the bottom scroll is missing

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10341~1014994,00.html

yes we did, on page 1 :)

spotted  :oops:

still looks gay though.

they cudnt fit the Salibritus et Industria on the embodiery

Real Zaragoza's kit they wore on sat

http://www.kitbag.com/product_images/large/H7065.jpg

do you know if they are doing it in long sleeve this season????

usually only for the players

i know but i like the long sleeved ones  :(

I suspect a company like Lotto could easily mass produce them, but it would need large sales volumes to justify it, perhaps a larger championship team could but I doubt we could.

As for the sponsor - on the playing version the sponsor has to be a set area - a max of Xcmsq, so it will appear the same size as ever, ot at least that was the rule a few years ago, and I can;t imagine it's changed.  The aloofness of the announcement on sponsorship impleid to me a back of shirt/short sponsor may follow.

i think it looks fucking ace

I still don't like it. Here it is on new signing Easton.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y153/Ralphy-Boy/easton.jpg

Just looks so amateur.

The badge is crap.

the badge missing the motto is poor.

The problem with the shirt other than the skinny fit (still not sure it is mind) has already been mentioned. It's effectivey a v-neck with the Lotto logo, club badge and sponsor logo all in the congested middle sector.

Move the lotto and club badge up and to the sides and the sponsor logo fits fine.

Going to wait until the club shop to see if things look better in the flesh mind.

Looks like an ice hockey shirt to me.

That why I put a pic of the Zaragoza shirt up. It can be done so why wasn't it?!! Someone must've agreed the design?

I just think it's just a big shirt, look at the arms!

I reckon it's the same fucking shirt that the other bloke was wearing!

They've probably still only got the one.

Having not been online when the new kit was shown to the world i'd just like to say how fucking shite it looks, it just looks like a cheap market job.

Thanks.

A couple more from the beeb, not the best pic's but you can clearly see the shirt is miles too big!!

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/l15tfc/craig_easton1.jpg

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y47/l15tfc/craig_easton2.jpg

Can only hope it is a prototype then - and that being the only one they have in their possession!

he doesn't look too well in that second picture

What size do we think that is then?

If these shirts are skinny fit, it must be XXXL

I quite like it myself  :|

Oh, and if its anything like my Ukraine shirt which i picked up in Kiev, then they are quite tight fitting.

who is that in the picture???
i dunno who it is  :?

Craig Easton

ok cheers

I think the fact he even said above the picture who it was kinda gave it away, don't you?

Leave the boy alone.

 :lol2:

Just to clear it up, Craig Easton signed for us on Monday from Leyton Orient.
A 2 year deal.

Who's Craig Easton?

Sheena's brother ?

Oh dear.

It's going to be Okay Fred.

Whats the problem with the leaf...

just take it off the front of the shirt and put it further down on the front of the shorts, if the shorts could be done in a flesh tone it would look great!

Id still do her up the Gary Glitter !
