Next seasons kit choice?

[JayRoyal]

I don't remember that red shirt having hoops?

I'd be worried if you could remember any kits we've had that were made by nike...

I thought you were replicating old kits with current templates. Don't take it personally.

I was just joking around mate! Yeah based it on the colors from the 2011 kit

Good work, Jay. The sad thing is the new shirts wont be half as good as anything you come up with!

[SPARTA]

That shirt, and preferably with him in it...

and I'd love this away shirt...

[Ian Royal]

Jay your hooped sleeved Nike one is the dog's bollocks.

It will sadly never get used because the club and shirt makers never choose anything sensible.

Maybe, maybe not. I forwarded Jay's Galatasaray shirt to the club and they loved it, but said next seasons shirts are already in place but they will keep it in mind. If I was Jay I would get in touch with the club by email, phone, turn up at the stadium with a portfolio of shirts and his other work, and see if they will spare 20 minutes to talk to him. They already like his work, so go for it!

He needs to do it in October / November before the choice is made, not now.

PS great designs as always jay.

If I could contact the people who make these decisions it'd make it a bit easier, I'd love to be involved in the design process, I dont see why the club wouldn't want the fans input on a new shirt.

Another thing we have to remember is, Puma like templates, even for Dortmund, so as long as we are with them even if I was in charge of the design, it'd still be nothing but picking from templates.

[Stuka]

Short of nominating you to design the kit, they could at least let us all vote on our preferred template.

Can't believe the Dortmund kit is just a template, for a club of that size. I hate having the exact same kit as every other team in the Championship, Jay Royal for kit designer!

Why can't we have a kit vote like other teams do?

[Cobi]

What other clubs?

Tbf - it is mainly lower division sides that do this, so Reading might do it.

[Alexander Litvinenko]

Why can't we have a kit vote like other teams do?

Because the view in the club is that unless one design is so popular that it immediately gets over half of the votes, then the shirt that's selected is one which more than half of the voters didn't have as first choice.

Plus, of course, as soon as you an internet vote you get fans of other clubs piling in and voting for the least attractive.

At the end of the day, it's all a subjective thing and everyone has their own likes and dislikes, so whatever choice you make some people will love it and some will hate it - after that it's a question of who shouts loudest on the internet.

There is a simple solution to vote rigging, you can only vote if you have a member card and you have to enter your member card number to complete the form.

Yes, but you then need some back-end validation to make sure that the member card belongs to the person voting, and that they've only voted once.

And why bother to set that up for what is nothing much more than a PR exercise? Enough people buy the shirt whatever the design is ....

You don't think maybe more people might buy a well-designed shirt?

Would it be any better designed just because people had voted for it on the internet?

As they're working from a template I don't think it would be I don't think it's possible to be "better" or "worse" designed - it's just be a slightly different design. Would enough people buy it to make all the hassle worthwhile? - the club don't think so.

It's pretty easy to see if a member card has been used more than once and therefore reject multiple uses.
And just run it on via the online ticket website, which you have to log into. Everyone with a member card has a login for that, even if they don't realise it. Would be effortless to communicate that. Unless you are Reading FC of course.

You could also do something on a match day at the stadium, this would guarantee the vote would not be hijacked. You would still need a member cards to vote to stop repeat voters etc.
