I think the point is platy that Luton are more renowned for orange and blue. Just like QPR are for the hoops as opposed to Reading.

[Platypuss]

Have to say I've always associated Luton with white and black at home and orange and white away. I seem to remember orange and blue being primarily a 70s phase for them.

1999-00 apparently, but other than that, spot on, the deluge of orange and blue kits was the late seventies.

Now this is a kit.

Ker-ching!

Don't know if this has already been posted, but impressively fast update on historicalkits.co.uk.

We couldn't have had Orange and White as the short colour is something that can clash with the other team (the ref will be mostly looking from the waist down). Black and Orange would have looked good, but with them being blue it means they can be worn with the home kit if we need to change the shorts to avoid a clash (shame they put an orange stripe down them as that will look odd with the home shirt though).

I hope this clears some fashion colour tips.

And what about orange shorts? Did you not think of that?

I do agree that the club should at least ask the fans though. People say that every year though and never contact the club.

I have been in touch with the club in the past about this idea of offering the supporters a chance to offer designs for a new kit but it was dismissed out of hand.

The problem is they believe people who buy the shirts will buy the shirts regardless of what the shirts look like, to some extent this is true.

Those who will buy regardless can be ignored, the club should ask potential customers like myself who can afford a shirt but chose not to buy one because they look crap exactly what they want in a shirt. If the majority say a collar then stick a collar on and you sell more shirts.

Perhaps the way to approach this is to present some results of a survey to the club, maybe work with Star and have someone draw up a number of kits and include past designs and see what the fans want. The results can be submitted to the club and if they see most fans want, for example, dark blue hoops going all the way round, a collar and long and short sleeved variants then they can maybe work with Puma to get a good match.

They were designing them so they looked good as second shorts with the home shirt in mind. Blue is better than orange, no?

LOL @ Spacey trying have a pop at Rawlie and looking stupid for it.

Yes..............but couldn't we have three shorts, one blue, one white, one orange?

[Roger the Rabbit]

See JM's comments about needing to cut our cloth....

Funnily enough, I've heard there are some orange shorts in the pipeline. Don't know if they're going to be available to buy.

I bet our Dave is well chuffed with the kit.

Why?

Because his collar will match his cuffs?

Away kit is unbelieveably shite - LOL at anyone daft enough to wear it. Like the new home one but the back is very odd. No purchases from me Mr Mad.

[Son of Len]

The away kit is designed to pull more New Yorkers into the Reading sphere of influence. Not to mention University of Illinois alumni. And the few other assorted Americans that like those colors.

Actually, I'm a little disappointed they didn't go with royal blue and Waitrose green together. I think that would have been a wonderful combo.
