Title: New kit for FA Cup
Post by: Boy About Town on Friday, November 2, 2012, 13:42:53
Lets hope it's not The People again.

Is this actually happening?


Title: Re: New kit for FA Cup
Post by: Boy About Town on Friday, November 2, 2012, 13:46:43
Yep, rumour is it might not be red. Cue meltdown.

Oh Christ not again, surely? Just leave the bloody thing alone. One home kit, one away kit, change each one every two years, alternate years, job done.

Oh, and making it possible to buy a kid's replica kit for less than 65 quid would be nice. Might also encourage more parents to buy their kids Town kits instead of the Premiership replica kits everyone moans about kids wearing

Here we go again then.

An acceptable option for a non red option for me would be white with red pin stripes like the premiership third kit? or year after premiership away kit?

Less of a meltdown from my point of view when the away team isn't wearing red. The fact we've let other teams wear red against us at the county ground is a disgrace.

I hear we're wearing Oxford's retro Wang kit.

I'm prepared to be proved wrong but if a special kit should exist i would be massively surprised if it's anything other than red. After last year's backtracking over "The People" white kit i'm confident we wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Couldn't give a rat's ass if we play in bondage gear ala Dodgeball. 

In fact, I think I'd prefer it if the new kit was yellow, our sponsor was Neil Ruddock's new start up business and the short's were crotchless, just to get some of the TEF lot wound up.

Speaking of which, Cardiff, in red.  Who gives a fuck?  It's a fucking colour you twunknipple.

Not bad, not much of a difference.

Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Friday, November 2, 2012, 15:04:11
Pointless (the change of kit, can understand the point of another sponsor).


Title: Re: New kit for FA Cup
Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Friday, November 2, 2012, 15:04:48
Wonder if The People signed a multi-year cup shirt deal with us? If so, can't the embargo having much chance of being lifted if they paid up last year

Meh.

Fucking Orient have got a special FA Cup kit sponsored by the People aswell


Title: Re: New kit for FA Cup
Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Friday, November 2, 2012, 15:10:27
Just read The People are involved with the Samsung win a contract thing, hence the us and Orient link again!

Player-issue only, not available for purchase.

Seems pointless, the kit is very similar. Why not just change the sponsor on our current kit.

That's the worst mis-spelling of "Leyton" I've ever seen. Or has Barry Hearn decided to rebrand them?

*ah the club forgot the disclaimer

Player-issue only, not available for purchase, until after we are knocked out of the FA Cup, at which time fans will be able to bid on them with money going to the Wiltshire Air Ambulance.

Yeah, I do actually quite like the shirt but it does seem a bit pointless having a different design.

Refresh my memory, were we last season following the Wigan win? Can't remember

Here's an idea, since those shirts are going to fetch very little in aid of the Wiltshire Air Ambulance, how's about the proceeds from the proposed fine, or better still a full weeks' wages went to the cause. You heard it here first  :nod:

Slightly unfortunate for the Wiltshire Air Ambulance.  I don't imagine the bidding will go through the roof.
