That one was a beauty too. I'm a traditionalist and I love retro shirts but both the shirt and the badge are nothing new. We've had pin stripes before and been stripe less before. It's only for one season, then we'll have something for the 150th anniversary season. I like it but think it would've looked better with black shorts like in the early 60's. The stripes are thinner than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield Wednesday traditionalists only want tradition that reminds them of Chris Waddle and David Hirst unfortunately. The shirts look top quality and I really like the home and the white away shirt, if the material good quality and the badge is sewn and not ironed on they will be fantastic. I'm also looking forward to seeing the goalie kits. Also worth mentioning the sponsor which looks great also, countless kits are ruined by the sponsor these days.

I'm obviously not going to buy one as I am a fully grown adult so my main concern is that the players on the pitch look like they play for Sheffield Wednesday. Is that really so much to ask? Unless there on TV how will you no if they look like Wednesday or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 There's no one bigger on tradition and history than me. However, in DC's defence he is well aware that it's not so much about the shirt that goes on the pitch and much more the shirt that goes on the fans backs. These new designs (home shirt in particular) must be much more a sports shirt with broader appeal than the bold stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're top four all season , sign a couple more top players I reckon they will become best sellers for years . It's different . Barcelona and Bayern do weird stuff with their kits every year and they still fly off the shelves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Horse Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 This will be the first replica shirt I'll have bought since '90. It will be remembered as iconic and a collectors item. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the shirt because of it's retro and simplistic look. But would've liked it even more if it were more like that early 60's butchers apron shirt and had black shorts.

Guest ka58 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The home shirt isn't our kit. If that's our new kit then we've changed kit. its nothing like anything we've ever worn in my lifetime. dont like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifax Owls Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 For me if we had the old 'iconic owl' (without crest) on the butchers apron it would have been barely passable. Hey ho it could be worse we could be playing in red I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfast Owl 2 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The home kit is a lovely kit. But will probably take time to grow on me. It just doesn't seem a traditional Wednesday kit in my head, but change can be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Don't mind a change now and then but not into someone else's kit... It's not even the right colour. It's a badly done copy of the one we had for just a few games in the 60s. That doesn't make it traditional. Not a bad design and I'd admire it if it was someone else's. Millwall for example. It's just not a Wednesday kit. *waits for someone on point out: it is now. Changing things is just a power trip and the price we pay these days to have a foreign owner who will hopefully bring us some success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
