Dick_Turpin Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 DC said we can come and listen to his ideas but anyone questioning his control be get picked up by the stewards and taken away . I've got two pictures of DC in every room in my house . He's installed cameras in my smoke alarms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past Member Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 What is exactly wrong with stripes maybe we could actually ask him ? The reported answer is that he prefers a bolder solid kit, & sees stripes as a sign of weakness. Plus it's an ego trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elyowl1 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 This will be (though I can never promise) my last post about this tonight. But it's a question of identity I have pulled here kits from clubs (British) at random stages of their history. And I do genuinely mean at random. But, with the badges and sponsors taken off. I'll bet that most people whatever their age, generation etc etc can still name at least 18/21 them . Because they will be able to recognise the imagery. They will be able to recognise the identity those clubs have built for themselves even though suppliers change, if materials change, sponsors change, fashions and stylings change. The central core imagery is still the same. I can see three Lincoln City kits it's a trick photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doghouse Daz Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 What is exactly wrong with stripes maybe we could actually ask him ? Cos it's difficult to feminise bold blue and white stripes and add a peter pan collar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past Member Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Can we send him a video of bha and Newcastle this season then ? Yep, ironic that 2 striped teams have beaten Chansiri team to the automatics. I think DC has set himself on calculated course to get his way & he won't reverse easily. The timing of the kit releases (3rd kit released after the start of the season. The barely visible pin stripes. The false reference to the one blue kit in our history. The timing of the announcement - just before a winnable home tie, whilst we all concentrating on the footy. Very manipulative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebowl Yell Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) It's quite simple really, while ever we are doing well dissenters will be told to get in line, shut up and let the people in charge do what they want. It's when we eventually have a bad season that this situation is going to get 'interesting' should we still be playing in kits without stripes.

Lawrie Madden Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I'd like us back in our stripes of course I would but I'm not chucking teddy out of cot .He's kept with our history if you look at our historical kits.the stripes will return Thats the clever bit Every change has been with a nod to something in our History so fans not overly fussed like your good self can say "well at least its in our History " Stripes are synonymous with Wednesday i can't be arsed to check how many of the 150 yrs have been stripes but i'd hazard a guess its nudging 140 of them For our Anniversary a shirt that we wore for 7 seasons is not appropriate IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamK2292 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 DC can make changes as he sees fit if it's in the best interests of the club. Not a fan of the planned design. Will judge it when I see it in the flesh to see if it's worth purchasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
