19owl08 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Some possible ways it could look... I'm sure someone with actual software like Karl could make a nicer looking one with a better colour for the blue. Regardless it just doesn't seem right looking at these.

Woodie Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I miss blue and white stripes. With Black and Yellow trim. When was the last time we had yellow gold trim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Everyone's entitled to an opinion not least DC and let's face it, his opinion has the most clout. This season's home shirt has been controversial but whether it's the club paying lip service or not, they are saying it's been a bestseller? Now if the let's keep the stripe brigade were the majority amongst the fan base surely it wouldn't have sold as well as it has? I seem to remember the solid blue with white sleeves being suggested by some on here as a good choice for the 150th kit. This happens and what do we have? Meltdown. Look I get it, you like what you like but it's not as if DC has not tried to keep some semblance of tradition and history while owning the club. The proposed new kit is an historical design, the current badge is based on an old one the club had. He's not proposed to leave Hillsborough as of yet even though I have the view that with the current problems with SAG and the stigma of the disaster, it wouldn't be the worst idea in the world. That said if it was ever proposed, the fan base will go off on one again. I feel for DC as while he's been owner we've made solid progress and I'm sure in time we'll make it to the premier league where we all want to be but I'm sure there are times when he wonders if we as fans are worth it with all the moaning and complaining that goes on. There are probably fans who preferred the days when we were called Scum and Cretins and the product on the pitch was sh!tte but hey ho we still played in stripes and the tickets were cheap? It just goes to show as a fan base we'll never ever be on the same page. It might be like this elsewhere at clubs up and down the country but personally I think it's a Sheffield thing and I don't think it'll ever change?

heppers Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I'd rather have Kieren Lee and Jordan Rhodes in this new kit than Darren Potter and COG in a striped one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I like it. It's retro....and i think it will look brilliant with our new badge. Prefer solid blue to pin stripes like this season's. Happy for a season or two, but wouldn't want us in solid blue indefinitely.

jamthesun Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Chosen because it isn't stripes. Chansiri doesn't like stripes. It was my first kit but it has bad memories of us being a bit bobbar! Was really hoping for a one-off hoops kit. Real old school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody loved that shirt, started going to games in 1969. Took me years to get use to stripes, wasn't helped by them being made by what felt like a cheap polyester material, pulled very easily.

I seriously doubt that, and in any case the two things aren't dependant on each other. That argument is not logical. Chansiri doesn't like stripes apparently. His problem is that for a football club the shirt is the representation of the brand. Much more so than the logo or badge as would be the case for other entities. When the shirt represents the brand people, not just fans but anyone who knows the club including media, officials etc see the shirt and it brings a whole host of feelings, images, memories about that club and what it represents to mind. If you change the kit you would normally try to retain the essence of the kit to maintain these subconscious associations. Chansiri is reported to not like stripes so he's probably planning or at least favouring what is effectively a rebranding exercise. Tricky for a 150 year old business with loads of tradition. Easier to succeed if he can quickly achieve some success which can be associated with the new brand. Even so the process will be painful for some (many) people because for them shirt represents so much about our club. It will also take time for people to adjust.

Guest Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Meh. Just looking at similar kits launched by companies like Nike (whose factories we are supposedly putting to use) this year and this is a design they had this season. Meh. Giz stripes back.

I like that. A lot. As has been mentioned previously. if nothing changed then we wouldn't have ever played in stripes anyway. Blue and White are the important parts.
