Jagermesiter1871 Think the home is brilliant, the away not so much mainly because the collar looks awful.

Interested what the back of the home will be like - will it have more Reading icons on? Also wonder what will be on left sleeve.

If you actually like Reading, unlike Sutekh, not sure why you wouldn't like it.


I don't dislike Reading, it's a perfectly decent modern town with everything you could want in terms of shopping and eating out, but like most modern towns it lacks character (thanks to the dreadful town planning and architectural builds ans rebuilds of the 50s, 60s and 70s) and is hardly a York, Cambridge or Oxford packed with famous old architecture.

The shirt idea is ok but the town just doesn't have the iconic skyline or distinctive buildings necessary to make it look anything other than naff and might make the club a bit of a laughing stock among other clubs supporters for being pretentious.

From what I can make out the "images" used are Caversham Bridge the Town Hall, that weird pointy office block near the station, the Tilehurst water tower, the Sikh temple thing down the Oxford Road, what might be the prison? and St Lawrence's church in the town, so hardly a distinctive collection of memorable buildings. I'd be surprised if anyone is even able to name all of them.

blythspartan They’re okay tbf. Disappointed that they haven’t included the Tilehurst water tower. One of the most iconic buildings in Tilehurst.


They have. I don't mind the home shirt, but I am hoping for white shorts and white socks. Away will look nice with black shorts, but in general I prefer bright colours. I was hopeful of an all red away kit. Oh well.

72 bus Not real


Courtney says they've been confirmed as real.

Slight step down from "The place is a characterless dump" but ok. Who gives a shit if other fans take the piss - if you're from Reading, or have a connection with the town, which essentially all those buying will, you'll know the icons.

They did miss a few "icons" out, however.
Where's the image of the gridlocked IDR at rush hour, or the long queue of traffic leading all the way up the King's road to Cemetery Junction?

If genuine, not buying as I hate them. They may be genuine concept designs though?

Reading isn't London or Paris, we don't have a recognisable skyline or famous monuments - The lion is already on our badge.

London and Paris are two of the biggest cities in the world. But beyond the obvious Big Ben, Tower Bridge, London Eye, Tower of London and Eiffel Tower, Champs-Élysées, Louvre Pyramid, Notre Dame, how many other recognisable landmarks could you draw? Be surprised if there was any cities in the world that had into double-figures worth of instantly recognisable buildings. But that's not to say each place doesn't have loads of distinctive looking buildings, reasonably unique to that town or city. Looks like they've included quite an interesting mix of iconic Reading buildings on that leaked photo. Would like to see it on the pitch, in the flesh, mind.

I've been told that they are not fake and that if you like them you will love the third kit!

I don't like them, so I guess I won't like the 3rd kit either then.

Rivalling Barnsley for worst kit.

I think they’re fine, but as a grown adult who doesn’t buy the kits anyway, I also don’t really care that much.

My daughter is really pissed off that she has outgrown her kit, especially as her brother can still fit in his, so I want to buy her (them) a new one, but I don't want it to be shit.

The shirt venues should be Reading FC related. Elm Park. Boars Head and Spread Eagle, prematch drinking venues of Robin Friday. Purple Turtle for 2006 promotion celebrations.

TBF how many variations of the same blue and white hopes can you have? At least if they are the shirts then they have there own identity for the town.

It's horrific, anyone who say it is good is on a wind-up or objectively wrong.

It looks like the end result of a year 6 design and technology project.

I wouldn't mind so much if Reading had any landmarks to celebrate.
