Away kit is like one of the Stade Francais shirts people were mentioning when Kappa came on board. It’ll be one I think the younger generation will love to be fair.

I think some people forgot this was the 'experimental' year. Isn't it policy to have two years tradition and one year with something different? At least the core colours are still cherry and white - the cherry and black in 2021 was the real low point.

Red and green is a strange mix but you can't base your sponsorship decisions on what the logo looks like.

I really like it, the sponsor doesn’t look great but not a lot that can be done about that, we go with whoever we can get the best deal from. Some people on twitter earlier made out it was an abomination but looking at it I’m wondering if they were just trying to act like they had saw it when in reality they’d not as this is far from an abomination.

Stade Francais have had some pretty iconic shirts, could potentially appeal to a wider market if it’s something like.

Colour wise it’s like some I’ve seen (light blue and pink seems to be a favourite of Kappas).

This time every year we have reactions on here with 'awful', 'horrendous', 'worst kit ever' yet come start of the season (and especially during the warmer months) we see hundreds and hundreds of supporters on the terraces wearing them.

Fully expect KR to announce at the start of the season that shirt sales are x% up on the previous year.

For me they usually fall into 3 categories:

1. Kids whose parents will by them because thats who they are aimed at (the kids)
2. 'Loyal' supporters who will buy them regardless
3. People with kids on a budget who will buy them for the kids but not bother with one for themselves (I am in this category)

I just dont like the design of either of them. The home one is borderline, I just cant take to it atm. The less said about the away one the better (it looks like the outside of a can of an energy drink/vape)

Re: New Kit : Thu Nov 16, 2023 6:42 pm  

The away kit is so shoite it could actually be brilliant.
Think the designer had a bad dose of lsd when he came up with the design.

Re: New Kit : Thu Nov 16, 2023 6:45 pm  

I quite like the away kit (probably in the minority) and think the sponsor fits in quite well, iv seen someone mention on Twitter about doing a traditional shirt for the WCC, going off previous years I wouldn’t be surprised if we have a one off shirt so something traditional/classic would be nice.
