Being launched and worn on Saturday Ive heard

old shirts now just a tenner

If that's the announcement from the county ground then the club can get fucked.

it wont be that FB - end of Hart I reckon

Loss of Hart ?
Hart Attack ?
Hart Failure ?

Who are the new sponsors ??

Ha ha, who told you fatters? One of your sauces?

:D

Four-Four-Two are continuing I believe

Who told you?

Paul Trollope?

It'll be this design I reckon:

Hope so. Like that one

Or even worse,you have a Hart.

I think it will be more likely to be like this.

Prefer Sippo's

I would love to see this design in red & white.

Shame it is a nike kit though. I think a completely different style of kit would be a nice change.

It will be the same template as Plymouth's away strip I think.

I can but dream.

I would love to see that one being worn next season.

With the greatest of respect, I'm bloody glad you're not choosing the kits then. We'd look like a team of boiled sweets

This in red and white probs.

That's our current kit template, just different coloured parts...

The stripe is filled in in this one to make it a massive bar.

That's amazing.

Yes, same template, different coloured parts. It's still the same template.

Oh, fair enough.

And Sippo's one is Bristol City's currrent kit.

Whilst the 80s Adidas would be cool, we need to go proper old skool....

[url width=150 height=263]http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Swindon_Town/images/swindon_town_1894_a.gif[/url]

would it really be that hard for the club to get adidas to knock some of those old school ones up? they'd sell probably better than the current kits.

Yes, unless they were prepared to commit to selling huge quantities up front, virtually guaranteeing they'd make a loss. Same with all the big (and medium) manufacturers. They all have stock designs, even for the "big" clubs e.g. Arsenal and Man Utd have identical goalie shirts this season, just in different colours, as they both chose the same template

Why can't Adidas just stop fucking around by putting patches and two tone colours in and just make a plain shirt? Not like it would cost them anything design wise and there is always plenty of interest in retro Adidas shirts, they'd sell shit loads of plain ones alone. Plus our 80s Adidas shirt was also used by Man Utd and Forest amongst others.

Would be good if the club could at least make a statement saying "we asked and they told us to fuck off".

100% agree with that jonny.

the shirt is practically a template with an old swindon badge on

It's our shirt from the 80/81 season, or at least a photoshop of what it looked like.

Sure this has been posted before but all our old kits are here....

[url width=570 height=675]http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/productimages/V3_1_Main/28800.jpg[/url]

Wouldn't mind this one as the new kit

We should jazz up our kit a bit this year, perhaps follow 1860 Munichs shirt from last year and apply some ghostly images of heroes of yesteryear....

[url width=428 height=476]http://i373.photobucket.com/albums/oo177/archstanton1973/townshirt.jpg[/url]

Hmmmm....tasteful....

That's why I think it will be ours. We are one step behind other clubs with regards to designs.

I'd like to see us go back to white shorts again. Never really been keen on red shorts.

Not all other clubs - as I understand it they trickle down the templates, starting in the Prem, then next season Championship, then L1/L2. So we've been a season behind the Slave Traders and Plymouth (before they came down), but usually have the same as (for example) Macclesfield. At least I think that's how it works

EDIT: Apparently it doesn't always work like that necessarily. Just been corrected by someone who knows!

Bah humbug.

Bah Humbug

Seems to be an echo in here

in here  here  ....

Quack.

ack....ak....ak......

Bloody urban myth.

Do you still want us to change our kit to orange?

Did I ever?

On FB they are saying that the kit will be revealed in the program Saturday, nothing about the players playing in it.

Could be wrong but....

It's the same as Bristol City design.

Which is?

Same template as our black kit from this season.

I like it. When does a clever fucker come along and do a mock then

Yeah my facebook says it will be reveiled tomorrow in the matchday programme

it only shows the socks which is exactly the same as Bristol citys.

http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=205153246191195&set=a.155835867789600.33546.155824257790761&type=1&ref=nf

They're going to wake the new kit up with a bugle call? That would be novel
Or indeed ours this season and last, if you take the photo in such a way that you cut off the top of the sock with the stripes on. Which this one does. No conclusions to be drawn there, I'm afraid

What about the away one?

Would like to see us have another blue and black one like we did 96 - 99ish

Only one of those kits was nice though, I think. I remember a few dodgy ones.

Although I think even Ricky Coont was on board for having a kit for more than one season.

I know it's standard now, especially as we are balancing loads of sponsors, but kits should last two seasons.

We have the half blue and half black with castrol as sponsors when we won Divvy 2 under McMahon so 96 to 98.

Then we have blue and black stripes with Nationwide as the sponsor. Must have been 98 to 00. Think we then hasd a few dark blue ones (DGI poss?)after that and its been either blue or white since apart from the mustard and black stripe kit from 03.

All kits used to last 2 seasons back in the day.

96 also was the year we had the ace mint green 3rd kit

It's easy doing the history. but which one was your favourite DV?

Definitely the blue and black halves of 96.

Football shirts also had collars in those days!

That blue/black kit was ace.

Although on the subject of collars, was that not when our home kit had that shite white round neck thingy? Not a fan of that.

I shalll wear that shirt tomorrow.

I have all 3 of those!

That half blue/black one still fits me. Just! Got a tear down the front because the washing machine tried to eat it!

Bring back the Green & White away kit from the early 90's.

My son currently wears it to football training

Any ideas who the main sponsor will be for next season? 

Reckon it's this...

That template is too new for us. Stoke are using that for next season's away kit in blue. Doubt we'd be able to get it.

Nice mockup Samdy but DRS asked for a clever fucker :)

And with the other two that were posted too...

Now they have been mocked up i perfer the bottom one, the top one reminds me of an old lotto kit.

The second one is better but I fucking hate central logos/badges

It'll be the one Sam mocked up

Tell me you wouldn't be happy if they unveiled that :)

They all look ok. Hate to say it but my favourite is definitely the first one Sam did, which City had this season.

Samsung are the main sponsor now apparently. New mock ups required!

Have the Adver forgotten to put a story up. I read Watkins quotes (about Samsung) in the social network warning story.

I know they sponsored the third kit last season but how have we managed to get Samsung as our main sponsors for this season.

I like Samdy's 2nd one.
I much prefer v-necks to round necks.

Shirts with collars are the best.

http://www.thedrum.co.uk/news/2011/04/30/21139-samsung-to-sponsor-swindon-town-fc/

What the board have done off the pitch has been fantastic. How the hell did they get Samsung to be our main sponsor?

They all bought really expensive tellies?

As I'm posting this from my Samsung laptop whilst watching my Samsung TV, I'd consider myself thoroughly brainwashed already.

Oh FFS.

 :hmmm: possibly

There y'all go.

I quite like that actually.

I like that, shame it's not a v-neck, but that's the best Adidas kit yet.

Nice and simple.

I really like it. No fancy designs just a nice simple kit with a quality sponsor.

good kit. who the fuck is the model?

I assume you're taking the piss, but if not, it's Billy Bodin.

Is it?! I've never seen his face before, but I thought he'd look much younger than taht

The sponsors are Samsung on the front, Fifa 12 on the back and 442 on the back of the shorts.

The board have done well to keep all of them on board this season.

Indeed. We'll have the best kit and sponsors in league 2 next season if nothing else.

In other Kit related news, southends away shirt really is something

[url width=300 height=300]http://i54.tinypic.com/23rr6m9.png[/url]

Larger pics.

Christ that's terrible (the southend kit that is)

Like the look of our new kit though

On closer inspection, that piping looks well shit

I agree the piping ruins it but from a distance it looks ok so it will be interesting when it's really close up. A plain design would have been far better but having said that it's still better than last seasons.

Just don't like the neck as its the same as the Black kit's neck and i find in uncomfortable.

Eh?

Samdy went into all that trouble doing kit designs with FourFourTwo as the sponsor.

Ah, doh! Bit slow this morning, sleep deprivation

Any announcement on how much the Samsung deal is worth?  Incredible to think the last board could only get Kingswood as sponsor

Although not at all surprising!

Like the Kit, plain and simple.

Miss the white shorts of old though.

Doesn't seem to be an old template either which is surprising. Hopefully nobody else will have the same colour and template in the country.

The stitching/piping is rank.

We should IMO still be playing in white shorts, it is the clubs heritage.

Wearing green shirts with navy shorts is a part of our heritage too.

As long as we're playing in red shirts at home, it really doesn't matter that much to me when colour the shorts are!

I've come to the conclusion that while Adidas may be a premium brand, their designers smoke the crack pipe.  Why oh why can't we just have a plain kit.

That said, its still better than last years!

Piping is silly but I prefer to the last effort.

Well, everyone complained when we played in white shorts at Wembley :)

Like it, but will wait and get the black away kit.

Good to see that even in L2 we will be light years ahead of any other club in the division corporate wise.

Very nice, much better than this seasons one with the silly white sleeve.

Very true! but to be brutally honest with you, I am not 100% certain that it was just the white shorts that they complained about :D

I've ordered on, and apparently I'm now entitled to be in Swindon's biggest ever team photo, which takes place in July at the Open Day, when they show off the away shirt...

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~2349995,00.html

If they did that they wouldn't be able to sell new kits each season.

Though maybe they could do something in the middle, two new strips each season (with all the fancy frilly shit) and then the third strip a plain old skool Adidas kit they keep for longer (or permanently). I reckon the classic Adidas kit would look alright with the colours reversed, sure there must have been some teams that played in that before (maybe us?).

Yes I suppose so. Can't we have one just once every decade. Please!

Already my slave traders supporting friends are pissing themselves at

1/ Us and Rovers being relegated

2/ Our new strip is their current one.

Nah, ours has the piping, plus the club badge looks more symmetrical to the adidas badge, plus its a different red :)

They're totally different kits. It says a lot about Shitty fans though.

...That they should get their eyes tested !!!

For me the white shorts are 1980s style and the red shorts 1990's style. We enjoyed success with both so dont really have a preference.

Having all red used to distinguish us from city who always used to have white shorts, but they wear red shorts as well now. The wankers.

Like the new kit.

I like the new kit. The piping isn't amazing but I wouldn't say it ruins the kit at all. Will be interesting to see it close up.

And as others have said, fair play to the board for keeping all 3 sponsors on board. Now we just have to hope they can bring the same sort of success ON the pitch, starting with promotion in 12 months time!

I had a good look at it in the club shop and I like it! Better than the current kit anyhow.

Just seen the new keeper kit on Facebook, it's neon green !

Same colour as Peter Cechs

I like it.

[url width=400 height=604]http://a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/253950_218141014892418_155824257790761_672714_6642105_n.jpg[/url]

Sweet!

i like that

That is rank! It's a tiny bit better for chelsea as they colour match the badge to the shirt, but our gold white and red badge on a neon shirt just looks shite...

Don't fucking buy it then!

I think it's pretty rank to be honest - luminous colours in football kits are never a good thing. But it's only the keeper's kit so I'm not too bothered.

Don't worry I won't be, fat kids in football tops ain't a good look!

Eesh... That's pretty garish.

I think it was rather apt that they got a headless keeper to model it, at least we'll know what it will look like when ours are flapping around in the box

Do we have an away kit yet?

A sign that we haven't got our first choice keeper in yet?

How many replica keeper kits do we sell in a season. Not many. So being a bit hideous in colour isn't really an issue.

No, but I know it will be a black kit for next season.

I don't like the new shirt. Dodgy sponsor... Preferred the old mob ;-)

I don't get why clubs dress the keepr in kit so luminous that they can be seen from orbit.

If a quality striker can see the keeper from distance, he can see where NOT to put the ball.

I suppose it help shit defenders with their back passing however  ::)

At least they are on the back of the shorts, i wonder if we will still get a program & mag for a £5.

A 50" HD tv for £5 would be nicer!

It certainly would be.

Got to be better than the Everton GK kit surely?!

[url width=600 height=450]http://www.footballshirtculture.com/images/everton-11-12-le-coq-sportif-home-football-shirt-d.jpg[/url]

can't see it

:D

St Pauli's new kit

Is it me or does the guy in the middle look a bit psychotic  :)

He looks like Manuel on crack.

Is that Alfred E Newman on the left? Eh, what me worry?

He looks like one of them bobble heads.

Can't quite work out where I've seen West Brom's new third shirt before ...

http://www.footballshirtculture.com/11/12-kits/west-brom-albion-2011-2012-third-football-shirt.html

wonder if their badge is printed  on top of ours?

Why is Simon Cowell modelling the West Brom 3rd kit?

and can he breath in anymore before he implodes!
