Kyocera sponsorship renewed and a new hooped away kit.

[cmonurz]

Purchased the away kit yesterday and it's the best Reading kit of all time IMO.

Gr8 quality aswell.

Agree completely with alad.

[Coppelled Streets]

Must admit, it's won me over also. Looks great and not at all as many thought when they heard of the colours chosen.

Let's hope next seasons new home shirt can impress also!

[Stretts]

My 11 year old has it and it's the mutts nuts. It definitely grows on you.

That's not good. Does it shrink again in the wash?

[Platypuss]

I'm encouraged that the lessons of last season's piss-poor quality have been learned. Looks like daughter will be getting a black and grey birthday present next week.

That would be you, then.

This is a wind up surely?

[Katie Marsden]

Why would it be?

Nothing wrong with wearing football shirts to play football in shades.

Great kit and looks the business.

[Skyline]

Am I the only one who, when they first saw the pictures of the shirt, thought 'God that's oxf*rd awful'?

Now I've seen people wearing them around the Madejski I have to say my first thoughts have just been confirmed.

Seriously can't believe how so many people think it looks good.

Kyocera's own football club Kyoto Purple Sanga has won the play off match yesterday and promoted to Japanese Football League Division One (J1).
New season of J1 will start from next March, and I am kind of hoping that Kyocera might arrange some sort of friendly match between Royals and Sanga in near future.
Or, can Royals send one or two young player to Sanga as a loan?
Japan is 12hours away by the flight. Yes, it is very far away compare to Bournemouth.

Saw Blackburn v Arsenal on TV last night.

Arsenal were wearing hoops without a panel on the back, and Blackburn don't have a panel either - just split blue and white.

So, either we could have hoops, or these teams have a different shirt for non-Premiership games, which sounds rather unlikely.

Come on RFC - let's have proper hoops next season!

[who are ya?]

It might just be my imagination but I'm sure Sunderlands kit has a striped back instead of a panel.

Looks like it does

yeh but every year we have had non-hooped backs weve done well (getting promoted and getting to 8th) so we cant change that tradition now.

Looks like new shirts for next season

This is a great opportunity for a major company to benefit from an association with a Barclays Premier League club...

Is Premier League status guaranteed for next season then?

Exactly. The type of sponsor they are wanting to attract won't be interested if we are relegated and so won't commit until Prem football is guaranteed next season (I still think we'll be there, but obviously it's not guaranteed yet).

I've sent them a letter. I'll sponsor the shirts for £45 quid, no matter where we're playing next season.

Hope you made your wording clear...

45*15*40 games = £27000

Not including the cups and the reserve and youth team kits and the Megastore sales.

They may take you up on the deal

Obviously the contract, and cheque, will be for £45. And I'll expect my own shirt for that I've submitted my request for a new shirt design, with hoops running all the way round. And white shorts.
