StudentOwl Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 You know as well as I they wore those short sleeves in this shot because of the humidity out there in south America!! You rotter! Anyway. The point is...because unless it is coming plain, with no 'piping', 'air venting', 'two tone', sponsorless, badge less, then it will be an Ipswich kit. If they are going to do it, they may aswell go the whole hog and do it right. To be fair I half agree with you, and the kit doesn't bother me too much myself. Short sleeves I'm fine with, but we need it to be extremely minimalist where possible... No sponsor, badge unobtrusive etc. Not sure we can get away without the Premier League or Championship badge on the sleeve, but the least amount of clutter possible is needed on a retro kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 So Mr C doesn't like stripes but the majority (I believe) of Wednesdayites want them back. The simple answer is not to buy any home shirt that the club release that is not the traditional Wednesday stripe design. If we sell little or non of these then when Mr C asks the fans' steering group why the shirt has sold in so little number, they can politely reply that the fans prefer the traditional stripes. If the new shirt sells in numbers then market force tells Mr C he was right and we maybe never see stripes again during his reign as club owner. If people are worried about p1551ng off Mr C then we don't have to be aggressive or protest about it; just don't buy any non-striped Wednesday shirt and he should get the message. I dont like the Ipswich shirt, so i havnt bought it. I have bought EVERY home shirt for the last 30 years , but not this years . And i wont be buying next seasons either. Plenty will, but im a stripes man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hoppy Hopper Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 If it's blue and white and Wednesday it'll do for me. 150 years! I'm saving up to buy all three. At 41 I should know better but I'm a daft lad when it comes to Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick_Turpin Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I didn't like this season's kit so I didn't buy it but loads of people have done. If I like next season's kit, I will probably buy it because I like the idea of seeing us in the 'white sleeves' for a season. However, if after that we start wearing solid blue, I'm pretty unlikely to purchase another kit until we get stripes back. That said, the OP's point is sound. Don't like it? Want it to change? Don't buy it, and discourage others from doing so. Especially if it's just because "it's the new one". EDIT: so can we decide if blue with white sleeves is an Ipswich kit, or if blue with white pinstripes is? How can it be both? Because in the 80s they wore the pinstripes- at other times like this season they wear the white sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Horse Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 I bought two of this season's shirt and I'll be getting two of next season's as well. Purely because I reckon we'll be back in stripes soon enough (no evidence - just a gut feeling) and these recent shirts will be collector's items in years to come and worth a few bob. Why two? One to wear and one to keep pristine - like with comic books!! Plus, ya know, I kinda like these new shirts. But just as a novelty mind. I want the stripes back season after next.

DC knows it's the 150 year special anniversary shirt. He's very clever knowing this will sell regardless. Or he's also very stupid if he thinks majority of fans agree with this. I will buy my 2 lads the new shirt this year, but never again the season after if the stripes don't come back. My head says this is a very good ploy for shirt sales next season and stripes back the year after. If not, I'm out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Most wednesday fans didn't buy stripes either. i like the all blue with white sleeves ... much prefer stripes though. wouldnt buy either as I'm 60 and a fat tw@! Stripes re slimming. Blue and white stripes will make you look much thinner, unfortunately you will still be a tw@t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
