Owling Wolfe Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Don't like that at all......It's got a Sky Bet Championship badge on it Also needs Blue socks with a white top hoop. Edited April 15, 2017 by Owling Wolfe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTO1867 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I think the fact we are moving away from stripes has been well documented, Mr Chansiri doesn't like stripes and he owns the club, much in the same way that if you bought a house and didn't like the decor you would change it to something you like regardless of the fact it may upset a few people that did actually like it . That analogy is crap, if i bought a house it wouldn't have a public history and identity shared by many thousands of people who have pumped vast amounts of money in to it and who rightly or wrongly feel like they have a say in what i do with it.

Owling Wolfe Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Like it but instead of the SWFC it needs the crest as on the 3rd kit that won the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Good heavens Smith! I have barely slept since the dreadful news broke that this abomination would be seeing the light of day again, but I have over the last few days ,with a self prescribed medicine of gallons of alcohol tried to get over it. The only small comfort I could find was that at least we'd be getting the Froggatt / Dooley socks back and that slowly the kit would be put right again working upwards. And now this! The white socks that took us to the brink of Division 4! Stubbs! Wheel the drink trolley back in here at once!

Inspector Lestrade Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 It could attract women in their droves, I'm not shelling out £55/£60 a shirt. And I don't understand why the big push to move away from stripes. Surely you must know that the big push away from stripes is down to DC not liking stripes. That simple.

Inspector Lestrade Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 The fans own the club. We are the club! But we don't own it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 After last season as long as the kit produced wasn't red any shirt would have sold well Chansiri is wrong on every level with this He has chosen to pick for our anniversary a shirt we wore for 7 seasons totally ignoring the fact that for the vast majority of our history we have worn blue and white stripes If he doesn't like stripes then don't buy a Club synonymous with a Striped Kit For me the only other acceptable kit as a "one off" would have been a hooped shirt as that was what "the Wednesday" originally wore other than that then Stripes are the only acceptable alternative to mark such an historic anniversary IMO Stripes aren't the only acceptable alternative as demonstrated by people saying on here that they like it, so it is acceptable to some. I myself would prefer stripes but DC has invested millions and is prepared to invest millions more, so arguably he's entitled to massage his ego by not having something he doesn't like. As far as I know there are no rules saying that you aren't allowed to buy a football club if you don't like the kit. He has also spoken about the possibility of his son running the club in years to come so he's here for the long term. It's frustrating for the traditionalist but I find it more frustrating that the club has been limping along like an old donkey for decades, heading nowhere, scrabbling about for the next cash injection. We now have the funds, the foresight and belief that the club can significantly progress in the next few seasons. If the traditionalists feel so strongly about the issue then they should band together and force DC out. I'm not convinced that many fans believe that passionately about it and will only resort to venting their frustrations on social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincs Owl Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Horrible August 1972 was one of the best days of my footy life. Peter Swan led us out on a sunny Hillsboro day to beat Fulham 3-0 in stripes, after 6 years of the Ipswich kit of blue shirts and white sleeves. Just hope no-one buys it.... but I bet they do. It not only reminds me of Ipswich - but of Millwall, which is even worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest....I'm split between the dread of the association of next year's kit and my dislike of this year's lower league style Gillingham kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Owl Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 Got my first ever Wednesday shirt for my 9th birthday in 1968 so I have no problem with the new shirt. Still prefer the proper stripes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTO1867 Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 (edited) Lets make the Fulham game a crowd in stripes day and then all move on to pastures new and all blue. Edited April 15, 2017 by UTO1867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
