Big Ron's Sovereign Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Come on! Stripes will be back, he knows about our history, you're worrying about nowt. And deleted part of it in a stroke. Stripes are gone. Only way to get stripes back is to boycott the buying new shirts Edited April 16, 2017 by Big Ron's Sovereign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past Member Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Stripes'll back in after next season, jaysus wept, there's other stuff in life to worry about you know. Why will they? The chairman doesn't want us in stripes! How hard is this to understand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Williams Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Once again. We will be having same kit for our 150th aniversairy as we had for the 100th, A very smart move to use this as an excuse for no stripes, We may even be stuck with it for the next 7 years again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencerowl Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Go back to the days of the club being in "backs to the wall time" would you have taken an owner who would invest heavily and promise to do whatever it took? The price being the stripes - not trying to provoke anyone but surley an interesting question to answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Past Member Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 No owner = no club tho? I want the stripes back but it's the lesser of two evils no? So if we're in stripes, we have no owner? If you think DC is that fickle, we're in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I want the stripes back but it's the lesser of two evils no? But that's exactly the point. Identifiable club culture and being successful aren't mutually exclusive. Manchester City are the key example of that. Winning top flight titles, bringing in some of the most exciting players in European football. One of the most recognisable coaches in World football in charge of the team. And their kit....? .......still instantly recognisable as Manchester City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ron's Sovereign Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 So those defending the shitkits are saying we have to if we want success. They don't go together, we can easily be in stripes and have success. I'm a huge fan of DC but the removal of stripes is ridiculous and causing unnecessary division amongst our fan base. I didn't buy a shirt this year and I won't be next. I normally buy 2 per season so he's lost @£200 straight away. Allegedly the pinstripe thing was a big seller, if that was proper stripes on the back of last seasons success the tills would still be ringing.

Ellis Rimmer Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Though in the U.K we are recognised for our blue and white stripes, in emerging football markets such as Asia and USA we have little profile. Clearly a blue Arsenal shirt is recognised here as Ipswich, but they also don't have profile in these nations so we could make this 'our own', as I can't think of any top European clubs that play in that style of shirt. The blue and white stripes is recognised as Porto due to their European success. So those arguing we should be in blue and white due to brand recognition haven't really thought that argument through.
