Now you're all probably thinking, 'why on earth are we talking about this just now?'...However next season will be our 20th year and I believe the fans should have a say in what the new strip should be like.

The current away shirt was designed after consultation with CJT and from what I've heard the final design was submitted as early as December 2012. This could mean that the club and CJT are already or are about to talk about our new home shirt for next year. So its paramount we get our views in as early as possible!

I created this topic so fans will be able to express what they would like the new shirt to be and so CJT and the club could see the fans views.

Also FC United of Manchester present their members with 4 different shirt designs every couple of seasons. The fans then get to vote for their favourite with the winning shirt being the new home/away shirt. Would the club and CJT be prepared to do this for our special 20th year?

Now, I would normally ask for simple blue and red even and vertical stripes like the 95/96 shirt. NO fancy swooshes or diagonal stripes. NO more blue than red or vice versa, 50% blue and 50% red. However with the current red and black striped away I would be open to an all blue shirt with red/black trim like our 94/95 first strip. Also I would like to see a return to white shorts like we had between 94-97.

The above picture was the design at the very early stages. Its a bit hard to make out against the back ground.

Not sure if I like the collar......

It's definitely more imaginative than the county top

New Home Kit should be revealed by mid-July (sooner if possible).

Crazy how long we take to release new replica strips I would have thought like season tickets the priority would be to get as many as possible sold ASAP so the money is in the bank and could be made available to Yogi for squad additions or ground improvements

Regardless whether it's the clubs fault or the supplier it's time for better communication between the two in future

Dougal, and those who liked your post. Has it ever crossed your mind that we dont take long to release a kit. Is it not obvious by now that mid-July is the time we have released kit since using Errea. All clubs have a time of year when they release such. We choose July.

Alex if this latest debacle is down to the supplier and not the club well surely the club should be trying for a new supplier

Would there have been the same delay had we had atraditional football supplier like yer umbros,adidas,admirals or le coq sportif?

It's ok trying to do things on the cheap but that brings it's own problems

Killy use errea as well and theirs has been released and that's home and away and third.....

They are not availabe to buy, only pre order. Easy really when they never change design and have the same sponsor. What really is the problem if the kit isnt out yet? How many of you that are moaning are actually going to buy one anyway?

I don't think the issue is regarding the kit being out or not I think that people just wanting to have a see what it will look like. Nothing wrong with being excited about a new strip being released but hey maybe that's just me!

Exactly. There's nothing wrong with being excited for new kits, I'm looking forward to seeing. Some posters just take it a tad far by lashing out at the club/members/supplier because they're not getting to see it right now.

Children, Toys, Prams and all that. Pathetic.

I can exclusively reveal the new shirt*

*is sort of like this.

Whatever happens, let's just think ourselves lucky we haven't used the same designer as the Scotland Commonwealth Games team.

 

 

 

 

Is that for real. Is it our official outfit for the games. Looks like an advert for Brodie countryfare.

It's what we'll all have to wear if the yes vote wins the referendum !

I'd sooner wear that horrific commonwealth games outfit than the begging rags the no voters lining the streets and underground in London covet lol

What a complete load of drivel

Anyway independence thread for that

Perhaps a wee sneak peek of the chosen design if available would appease the masses hungry for their new strip fix.

ETA: I couldn't care less about the release date, I just hope the sponsor doesn't have the 'eat fresh' tag line.

 

I'm afraid it does, and just for you here's a wee sneak preview.

I'll just get in first by telling anyone thinking about saying it to feck off.

No, not a single thought enterred my head. Not one.

Nor me...I'm not like that

What is it about manufacturers of sports kits taking ages to deliver their products to the customers. Whether it's football, rugby or bowls tops they all seem to be the same.

 

Our bowling club started discussions with Kukri in July last year about new club tops. It then took them until the first week in May this year to process our order, manufacture and deliver the shirts - 10 months ffs and for an order of only 28 shirts!

 

The other problem we still have with the shirts is that the sizes are two sizes smaller than they should be. That goes for most kit suppliers, particularly Errea, Diadora, Macron and Kukri.

Maybe they actually have orders of a few hundred thousand more than 28.

I hope the the "eat fresh" bit of the logo isn't on our "new" shirts

New Home Kit should be revealed by mid-July (sooner if possible).

Its mid July now any update forthcoming?

I hope the the "eat fresh" bit of the logo isn't on our "new" shirts

 

It's been on the tops during pre season but it doesn't look that bad IMO.

It looks good on the away top not sure how it's gonna work with the blue and red though

Looked fine last Saturday and we were using last season's home top.
