The home shirt looks better every time I see it.
If we the fans picked the design then it would be the traditional cherry and white hoops every year. I actually liked the broad hoops of the Jimmy Nulty era.
The Sydney Opera house would never have been built if we didn't try new designs.
I think we will all get used to the new shirt and it won't be mentioned part way through the season when we are chalking up the victories.

Correct on all counts, well maybe apart from the first line.

The club could/should learn from this error. It would be a terrible idea to run a vote on the site as that would leave it open to mischief makers and would also spoil any surprise when the kit is announced.

No offence to IL but we can't rely on the fashion sense of a 60+ year old man to pick our kit. Ask some of the players or select some fans to look at it. The club has 11,000ish season ticket holders. Why not send a letter to a good age spread of 100/200 of them with a few designs on. They'll return these and the design can be sorted from there. Another idea is there's a gang of 20+ flag people on here who are regularly involved with the club (In an unofficial way ) and their ages range from late teens to Rogues Gallery. Why not ask them for some input??

Thanks

I agree with this, select 100 season ticket holders at random, with a broad range of ages and show them potential designs and gather feedback. Even if they don't follow what the fans want by the letter, they will at least have an idea what the fans want.
