Not the 50s reject, we currently wear, in the wrong shade of blue! Of course I know what he means, but I guess your viewpoint depends upon when you first started following Wednesday. The 'iconic' 1970s Owl to which he referred wasn't in existence when I first started supporting Wednesday so, although I do like it, it doesn't create the same depth of feeling with it for me.

If the design ya loads of white dog poo and a heavily infected blue waffle (don’t google this) all over it would you be fussed. The colours would be blue and white after all. p.s I miss the good old days where white dog poo was still around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheques , diagonals , gradient stripes . If it's blue and white and we get proper stripes every other year I wouldn't mind . Look at bayern and Barcelona . They let their designers go mad with their basic colours and their fans don't mind and neither do the glory hunters who couldnt find the grounds of their supported team on a map .

My reason? To encourage Mr C to stop fvcckking about with our identity. Buying football shirts isn't only for kids it's just something the cool people say. I love seeing our shirt on people especially when I'm out of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sham67 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I'm with the op. I've never bought a shirt since I grew up. However, if we go back to stripes, I'll be getting one and carry on buying one every time it's stripes. Over to you DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say it, but I very much doubt the badge of a team that hasn’t been in the Premier League for almost two decades is known all around the world, apart from maybe being known to ex-pats.

We were stripeless for 7years 1965/72 ,if memory serves correctly. I certainly never felt de sensitised by the passing of time. It was a great day when the stripes came back, ( even though it took another decade for thee team to realise they were supposed to play better in stripes).
