Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,024 Posted August 28, 2020 I really do not like it and the club needs to be clearer on how this "is for the heroes" other than the colour being the same as an NHS tunic. I really liked the fan created shirt with the rainbow and hoped ours would be similar. The kit that has been launched is drab and horrible at the same time, the club needs to have a long hard look at itself for agreeing to it............

shefcanary 2,409 Posted August 28, 2020 Should only use blue if its in the original half an half. Boycott this ****! Bad move by the club and Errea. Why the **** do we want to look like the Poormen? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canary Wundaboy 1,359 Posted August 28, 2020 I don't hate it but I'm not particularly impressed either. I honestly think the white rainbow kit design floating around was far better. I wonder if we can get someone to produce that and it can become the unofficial 3rd kit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,659 Posted August 28, 2020 I don’t understand why it bothers people quite so much - I can well imagine the comments of disgust had we all been sat here in 1992 when we launched the egg and cress that’s now regarded as classic. As usual I like both kits - and don’t really see the issue even if it was blue, we’ve had several come close over the years. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robornio 107 Posted August 28, 2020 I think he’ll will freeze over before I wear a blue and white kit. As others said, the rainbow mock up was so much better than this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Wynless Jones 161 Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) 46 minutes ago, Bethnal Yellow and Green said: I think it is because the mock up kits then don't ever have to be manufactured. How much a kit will cost to be made is primary concern when designing it. Having standard patterns and colours is obviously a lot cheaper than something completely original. This is why Adidas and Nike will just use a template and change the colours - cheaper production means they can offer clubs more money to secure the rights. Yeah I get that, but at 50 quid a pop for a shirt made for pence in an Indian sweat shop a bit more creativity could be applied, as opposed to rehashing and old awful top but in a dreadful colour.

lharman7 39 Posted August 28, 2020 Awful, bland, boring and a massive anti climax. Maybe they should consult the fans when it comes to the away kit as the rainbow mock ups were way better. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ged in the onion bag 855 Posted August 28, 2020 Isn't really blue is it. Think this might grow on people. Have seen much worse. Some of the hysteria on here is a tad OTT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faded Jaded Semi Plastic SOB 1,024 Posted August 28, 2020 For me it is not the colour of the kit, that is not the issue, for me the kit looks drab/horrible at the same time. I am far from a miserablist but I think this is a PR own goal by the club, unless there is more detail around how the kit is "for the heroes" other than it being the same colour as an NHS tunic. As others have said the mocked up white kit with a rainbow was really good, had the official kit looked similar to that I would have bought a shirt, no way would I purchase this shirt, in fact I would go as far as to say if I got given this shirt for free I would give it away.......... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ncfcstar 292 Posted August 28, 2020 Don't really like it, but it's not like we haven't had blue kits before - so some of the fuss surrounding the colour is a bit stupid but people get so angry about things nowadays it's no surprise. I do think the club have scored a bit of an own goal with the rainbow/'for heroes' tweet the other day, I doubt anyone expected the kit that was revealed this morning. I think we've also got to remember that Errea will have been affected by the pandemic, so I wasn't expecting any sort of groundbreaking kits this season.

Bonzo 198 Posted August 28, 2020 "Blue and green should never be seen.". A blue kit with a largely green logo? Seriously? The fake Rainbow strip was much better. Hopefully it will grow on us (like a fungal toenail infection). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGoogler 324 Posted August 28, 2020 I don't mind the kit at all. I think the blue is very obviously different to Ipswich. I'm a little confused by the dedication to key workers. There's no donation per shirt to a charity that supports them or discount to say thank you, is there? It's a lovely gesture to dedicate it to them and involve them in the kit launch, but doesn't it seem like a half finished gesture? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarydan23 4,060 Posted August 28, 2020 It's an away kit, not liking it is not worth sh*tting the bed over. I don't actually mind it, but I stopped buying shirts when they started to be released every season as opposed to every two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nonetheless away kit is the thin end of the wedge .... To be fair that was a completely different scenario. Complete seemingly permanent home kit colour change and badge change. Our away kit being teal is a hell of a lot different than our bage being changed to blue along with our home kit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
