Do you buy a new shirt every time you moan about Nuihu?... 4 minutes ago, CS5swfc said: I'm sure Mr Chansiri's losing his mind over your £40 As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I bought 8 season before last. 1 for me when they were released and I bought another in the sales. The others were for my nephews and nieces. I bought the grand total of zero of that abomination last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of Wednesday kits (striped or otherwise) which I've thought looked naff over the years, so I didn't buy them. Like most people, I only buy the kits I like. Unfortunately for you, it seems the fanbase at large don't feel the same way you do, as the club reported record sales of last season's shirt and it seemed to be everywhere you looked in the stands last season. Your 8 lost sales were seemingly a drop in the ocean compared to the numbers who rushed to buy the shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrbluesky Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 It's looking like a 'clusterf*ck* of a start to the celebrations, if the training tops are anything to go by, it looks tacky with whatever the makers are called and to top it off we're playing Rangers. Hope I'm wrong like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan™ Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 I genuinely didn't realise how strongly some people felt about stripes. To me it's always been the colours blue & white which primarily represent Sheffield Wednesday. Stripes I would admit are obviously also strongly linked with our brand, but by far and away the most important thing to me is the colour. I've been surprised by a few posts I've seen lately which place stripes above many things (such as the colours blue & white) in their priority lists of things that represent us.

At first I assumed it was just George Boyd on his lunch break, but then I remembered that he's busy in Portugal right now, so the only logical explanation is that it was the second coming of Jesus Christ. Shame he performed the wrong bloody miracle though, eh? What a waste... So he turned up at the wrong training ground to meet the lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's blue & white stripes. Wouldnt want orange & pink stripes, or any other combo. Blue & white stripes. Simple. Celtic are hoops, green & white hoops.

Wednesday, on the other hand, have a fine tradition of varying our shirt design and breaking away from the evenly-spaced-stripes at times, as we have done for 10 out of the past 50 years.

Watto Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 When did Chansiri actually say he didn't like stripes? Not seen an actual quote from the guy anywhere. I would prefer Blue and white stripes every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if Chansiri has decided to rip up and discard the club's identity as some are trying to make out. The badge has reverted to the club's original badge; the shirts have retained the two colours we've always used; and the designs are based on historical kits. I could maybe understand the outrage if this were the first time we'd not used evenly-spaced-stripes, but it's not. My favourite Wednesday kit when I was a kid didn't have stripes, and that was in the mid 90s. Edited July 19, 2017 by areNOTwhatTHEYseem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
