Rusholme Ruffian Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 What's the thinking behind your new kit? I knew you had had a bit of an overhaul but a couple of my mates even thought you were playing in your away kit. What's the reasoning behind ditching the stripes?

Owl999 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) The Chairman doesn't like stripes, that's the reason, he apparently compromised by having the white pinstripes on the front but it was the Chairmans decision to get rid of the stripes.

theowlsman Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 And he's not just the Chairman, he's also the club's owner, it's his club lock, stock, and barrel, so he can do exactly as he pleases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 In 30 years' time, we'll be talking about how we once wore blue and white stripes, while Thai international Danny Baht nods in a cross from Malaysian international Gotwan In. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Tankisco Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Yup chairman can do what he wants as it his club to do as he pleases in the same way as sacking 59 managers in a short space of time like your chairman has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuthaMucker Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 What a weird time to log in for the first time...I bet you've been with your mates all day and watched the UFC, no? Re the kit; I reyt don't care, I really like this new kit we've got also, if you've been today, did you see the bloke bump his car on Leppings Lane? Near the tram stop? By far the best part of going to the match today for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the thinking behind Leeds still thinking they're massive. You couldn't sell your allocation yesterday. I thought you sold out every away ground you go to. Villa bought more than you. Oh oh and you've only sold 12000 season tickets. That's pants for the biggest club in Yorkshire/England/Europe/world enlighten me please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Verloc Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 You can't even get close to bringing 2,000 to ER, so I'm not sure why you're bringing this up. We have had a very crap team for many years now - enthusiasm is bound to wane when you're paying high prices to watch dross. The season ticket figure is 14,500 btw. Poor, but an improvement on last year. Our season tickets don't provide very good value for money - that's why people don't buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I come on here with a genuine question (I thought the Wednesday stripes were a tradition beyond tampering with*) and pre-menstrual ANDY (it's the caps lock that gives it away) has a big hissy fit. Strange behaviour for such a moody ***** to be playing the "my wee wee tail is bigger than your wee wee tail" game but I suppose it takes all sorts.

TrueOwl Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) It's pretty vile. Last Sondico kit though, woot! It's based on an old design from 1962-3. Next season's kit will be our 150th anniversary so many are expecting either a homage to the 1965-72 kit (even more like Ipswich) or to go full QPR and bring back hoops from the 1870s. The badge still looks strange to me especially when it clashes with the shirt colour. Personally, I won't be buying any home kit until the stripes are reinstated and I'm sure the majority of us feel the same. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Sheffield_Wednesday/Sheffield_Wednesday.htm Edited August 21, 2016 by TrueOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im coping with the pre menstrual at the moment. However living in West Yorkshire and having to listen to Leeds fans arrogance on a daily basis does tend to push me close to the edge. I didnt add to the shirt question as it had already been answered I was just curious as to the ticket scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly divided opinion that is quite clear. We believe or hope that next season we may revert to tradition but as you guys know, if an owner wants to do something there is little fans can do but express opinions and hope. More importantly is success on the pitch and as yesterday day showed, we both have teams way off the mark, I think we both need to drop the massive tag, history is one thing but the present and future is all that matters now.

Guest Grez Bez Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I live in Leeds. I'm always amazed how normal all Leeds fans are in person as when they are at Hillsborough there is such a high ratio of bellskinner to normal fan! :) Hate the kit, hate the badge. Chairman is a bit nuts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
