The Night-Owl Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) The gold numbers look good. I'd have gold or black. It's the font I'd change, if the EFL would allow it? I'd have a more fancy old fashioned font, with gold or black it works fine on my PES 2019 game. Also it makes more sense to have the numbers and sponsor the same colour. I much prefer the shirts sponsor-less. Edited July 28, 2019 by The Night-Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How are the poor old Refs going to manage when they cant copy the names off the shirts. Some have got incredibly unspellable names. I know they will use the numbers . are they just nameless for pre-season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They managed for over a 100 years before they brought names on shirts which was a bloody stupid idea. Newfangled ideas, next they will be getting rid of refs.

Any deaf viewers must find the names helpful when watching games either live or on TV. Has anybody thought of that before taking names off. More room for the numbers.

Colin Dobson Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I seem to recall Wednesday always had red numbers in the late fifties & early sixties before the change to “Ipswich” colours. My preference would be red because I’m slightly concerned that I my failing eyesight will not cope with gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Wednesday fans: Give us stripes all over shirt Also Wednesday fans: I can't see the chuffing numbers 'cause of the stripes League rules tell you what colour and font of number you have. Think they permit a different colour to be used if the colours match (eg, gold shirt), but in this instance we'll be bound by what the EFL have decided this season. So it's either stripes with near impossible to see numbers, or stripes with a blue square on the back to let you read the numbers. Can't have it both ways lads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dumboldowl Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I'm absolutely delighted that we have the stripes back and front again, so the colour of the numbers doesn't really matter to me, but surely they are meant to be for easy identification of players. That purpose wasn't served yesterday. In fact I thought that they were silver, but they definitely were not easily identifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.flem Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I know we have had red many a time in the past but red has no place on a Wednesday shirt, be it the sponsor or numbers & player names. Black would be better on this kit. To answer another question, there are strict rules regarding names and numbers these days, no names is just for pre-season.

I totally understand they want standardisation and "brand consistency" and whatnot, but you'd think they would offer two or three contrasting colours (all same style) as options for clubs for both aesthetic and practical reasons.
