Beholder Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Looks like we aren't gonna see stripes again for a long time. Our identity is being changed. I just hope the shade of blue goes back to what it should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard there's been a bust-up because Carlos wants McGugan sewing hems but Lewis reckons he can't sew hems anymore and has insisted that if he's not allowed to sew buttons then he won't sew anything. It's a right old mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a personal preference by DC, he's spent millions on the club and he's buggered if he's gonna watch them in a shirt he doesn't approve of. It's that simple i'm afraid... Your move I guess.

If they had a new striped shirt it couldn't be made to look much different to the thousands of old striped shirts. The old ones would come out of the cupboard season after season ...why bother buying a new one?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Just now, Warnocchio said: The fact that more people bought the pinstripe than the real stripes is a bigger one. Not really. Factor in the feel good factor of the league position, the playoff run, the money spent on players, upward curve in number of season tickets sold, better access to shirts for sale compared to the shower of shît we normally get in the club shop etc. All adds up. Tag on a return to stripes and chances are sales would rocket. But some people are too afraid of upsetting the Chairman by speaking honestly.

daftpenguin Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Yeah, for as much as I didn't like this season's kit, I can't help but feel I might've seen more new ones this season than I ever have before. As for the blue/white 'Arsenal' design, the concept intrigues me but obviously will wait to see it before making a final decision. Much like this year's kit, if I don't like it I'll simply not buy. There's no prerequisite to purchase the new shirt every year and I'd far rather wear my striped shirt than purchase one I'm not keen on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Ahh, the negative Arsenal kit of the late 60's. Or as I more commonly remember it the " seeing a potentially great team gradually disintegrating and getting relegated kit" of my nightmares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysticOwl Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 If you want the strips back, just don't buy the kit. Shocking decision if true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 They should bring out a striped 150 years kit as well. See if it out sells the blue blue with white sleeve version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nk Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I'm pleased with this decision, always like the blue top with white sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
