Ps. I will also be annoyed if we don't revert to stripes next year. But, it isn't a reason to try and hound out a man who is trying to turn our football club around! Please God let this be the last thing said on here about the shirt until the next one is released then!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember the shirt in the sixties that was blue with white sleeves was the same as that of Ipswich at the time No fuss about it in those days.

I'm afraid the shirt complaints will continue as long as this Ipswich kit does. Chin up I'm sure the threads will be avoidable. Can we have an Arnold Muhren emoji?

Mr Farrell Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Got to admire the stamina of the Propaganda Ministers. Seriously, give it up. It's a pants kit. We know it, you know it, Leicester and Ipswich fans know it. It will be scrapped next season, and the parents ripped off this season will be asked to shell out again.

Bolsterstone Owl Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Picked up my season ticket today. Tried a shirt on. Put it back. Bloody awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelman Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 It's been mentioned that Mr Chansiri isn't a fan of our traditional stripes. He's a bigger fan of money though, specifically through the sale of official merchandise, tickets and so on. It's simple really, if the kit doesn't sell compared with previous seasons he'll go back to the stripes. With that in mind I would urge any fan who wants to keep the stripes to think long and hard about spending a single penny on this abberation for either themselves or their kids. Cos this isn't a Wednesday kit and never will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beholder Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 The poll is a little misleading. I think the Unhappy/ hate it ones should be combined. But whatever, my interpretation of the poll is that 4 out of 5 fans are either unhappy or will put up with it if it's only for a year. Hardly the positive reaction required to make them sell like hot cakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant imagine any other business apart from football where something like that would happen, only perhaps teenage girls and boy bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've refused to buy it for both of mine, they're having the 3rd kit instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 After our most successful season in 16 years, we could have stuck a Wednesday badge on a black bin bag and it would have sold like hot cakes I've spoken to a few Blunts, they had a similar thing last season, their white shirt with red pin stripes sold very well, most Blunts loved it, but ask the same Blunts now, and all of them couldn't wait to get their stripes back Like I've said often, and I'll keep on saying, it's a nice shirt for someone else, not for us. I've still got a few old Wednesday shirts, I will wear those to the games, I might even order myself a Bukta. Get ready for next season's Reading shirt. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
