Super day, friendly and welcoming, just like the club used to be. Very smart move to go back to Fulham colours. Now all we need is dormant and departed fan to return to the fold and get that warm special atmosphere back. Watch out for Richie Msthers, his PR skills are exceptional and will be a great wmbassador for the club

Re: Shirt - Launch : Thu Dec 11, 2014 7:37 pm  

Like the new shirt but not sure another change of colours is a good idea, hopefully the away one will be blue. As a Saracens fan I like a red/black/white rugby shirt. Difficult to fit that many logos on a shirt - that Rugby League Cares one needs moving, not sure where else it could fit though...

I'd like to see the club have it written some where that they can't keep changing colours and names...

I was led to believe at the time that the 30 year Harlequins RL shirt was one of the most popular sellers at the club in the years we had that name. Then there was the funds raised by auctioning the cup shirts that were again in "old colours"...... If they were SERIOUS, they would have flipped the colours of the logo at least, but I suspect this is another half arsed attempt at something that really should have been part of a bigger campaign. As this is yet another NEW start, it would have been the perfect time to re introduce the old broncos logo ans revert back to the red/blue/yellow colours we had up to 2006. No doubt if I'm back in the UK next year I'll buy another shirt....especially if they are 2-4-1 again

I don't see anything remotely cheap and nasty about the shirt. It looks great and the logo is a relatively minor detail. I think this is exactly the sort of thing that should be done to reconnect with lost fans. The launch video highlights there have been better times but I get the sense the club is looking forward with real optimism too.

Hey. Maybe I need to just let go of the past, but every time I see that bloody awful logo I think of the pigsarsehole that MacKay and Hughes made of the club. Can't think of many sides in any sport that doesn't have a first team home shirt that is reflected in the colours of the club....and our colours are Black and Sky Blue......

.......not red, black and white.

As I say, maybe I need to let go, but don't tell me that shirt wouldn't look better with this on it instead.

Re: Shirt - Launch : Thu Dec 11, 2014 9:51 pm  

Amen to that!!! I much prefer the old logo. I'd like to see home colours as black,red,white away colours blue, yellow, red and alternate each year. And that's it, no electric blue or harlequins trash bag colours just want the old 80's and 90's back

Re: Shirt - Launch : Thu Dec 11, 2014 9:56 pm  

Reminiscing about the MacKay years makes my blood boil.....but I have noticed he has a wikipage.......might be a fun way to fill a rainy afternoon "editing" that

Note to Steve D, the clues in the name mate, even though unfortunately we are based in northern suburban wasteland.
