God awful idea, Reading is such a dump of a town, silhouettes of various nondescript highrises and a bridge. Works OK with the lion on the away shirt but then that's about the only memorable item in Reading.

Still it's a slight improvement on the stupid hoop thing of last season.

Pepe the Horseman



Macron have generally been good, bar the sleeves on last years home kit, which wasn't really down to them, but that home shirt is horrendous.

For me the ideal shirt combination should be something old fashioned and traditional for the home shirt, and something so crap it's great for the away shirt.

If that skyline pattern was part of an away shirt, then big thumbs up. But as part of the home shirt? Yuck.

However, they away kit looks really good. Up close anyway. From a distance it'll probably look like you've dropped your beer down your front.

File under nice idea, poor execution.

It's not like Reading has a particular iconic skyline that needed immortalising in shirt form. Lion on the away shirt may look better when we see the shirt properly.

Pretty much I remember seeing the club say the climate stripes would be here to stay for a while. That would be the only doubt I have.

Sligeach do it properly - incorporating Ben Bulben the local mountain that dominates the skyline

Pepe the Horseman Someone's gone to a hell of a lot of effort if they're fake. I like the away one, but looks more like a training top. The home one is horrific imho.

+1 - defo looks like a training top

The problem is that Reading doesn't really have that many iconic things in it. The lion, the bridge and the Abbey gate maybe. The other buildings could be from almost anywhere, and if you'd showed me those silhouettes with no context then I'd probably not have thought "oh yes, that's Reading".

They'd have been better off sticking to a smaller number of more iconic images. Maybe throw an elm tree in there as well, as a nod to the past.

The above pictures have now been put on the Kitman website as leaked pictures of our new kit.
For the love of god they are horrific ! If club wasn’t already a big enough joke off the pitch.

The description of the away shirt reads
‘The leaked Reading 2023-24 away jersey is grey wilh a tonal silhouette of the back of someone’s head on the lower half.’
The back of someone’s head :lol:
In all seriousness what is it meant to be ?? It just looks like a sweat stain to me !

If that's the back of someone's head, they seriously need to see a doctor.

It's the Maiwand Lion:

Maybe I’ll be able to see it better when there’s a decent picture of actually shirt.
Still two absolutely awful shirts

FAKE NEWS! Same as calling Reading a city, as The Kitman does in the article.

Yes, but would you see see you at the Maiwand Lion or at the Forbury Lion?

And when did you start using Maiwand IRL?

Would know what was being referred to if used both, but would always say Forbury Lion.
