havoc why do we need a new kit every year
its just robbing off the fans, it's disgusting. By the time I've kitted out myself, the wife and two kids with new home shirts with the Sig on the back = shorts and socks for the kids it'll be £200+!!!!1!!!! We've only just paid for the STs!!!!!eleven!!
We'll have to wait till xmas for the away shirts I suppose but that's just more expense!
Can anything be done about this???
STAR?????
Forbury LionNew kits are aimed at those who buy a new one for the sake of it regardless of whether it is awful or not.sawyers left arm Where have all the threads gone, this really is changing for changing sake, the new kit is awful.
Problem is there are plenty of mugs out there that buy the shirts year on year, good luck but I won't be ripped off with this unfinished article.

I bet your season ticket will still allow you entry even if your not dressed head to toe in the latest range of merchandise.havoc ]its just robbing off the fans, it's disgusting.

Dirk Gently The problem is that if they put 4 kits up to the vote and they got something like 20%, 20% 20% & 40%, of the votes each, the winning one is the one that 60% of the voters didn't want, so the whole process loses credibility. It's only worth doing if one kit gets over 50%, which is only really likely if you have only two selections - which is hardly real choice.
Can anyone see any parallells here with our current elctoral system

The Reading badges nowadays are so crap they fall off after a few washes so...... If a town centre outlet was to stock plain blue and white hooped football shirts, ideally with a collar I think I would be tempted to buy one instead of a Reading shirt.No Fixed AbodeForbury LionNew kits are aimed at those who buy a new one for the sake of it regardless of whether it is awful or not.sawyers left arm Where have all the threads gone, this really is changing for changing sake, the new kit is awful.

This is true.
I am sure they could come up with some better 'hooped' designs though.
Puma obviously do a few designs and submit them to the club. I suspect the designs get banded around the club and the most popular one is picked. However, it seems, people at the club have no taste. We all know the marketing at the club isn't great, we can all see it, so why doesn't someone do something about it?
I still cannot believe there is no club shop in the town centre and somewhere to obtain tickets.

No Fixed Abode even though I've confessed, you've still fallen for it.
That is not the new kit!

Terry TibbsCompo's Hat Someone put this on twitter but i have my doubts that its grey and not white as the description of the shorts says on the JD Sports link for the shorts.
think its not the new shirt as the blue stripes arent even coloured in properly

I've only washed my 10 year old Westcoast shirt a few times, Turning it inside out helps, However the badges back then were proper fabric and sewn on not rubber ones stamped on.Terminal Boardom Which is why I never wash a football shirt during the season.
