hmmmmm, im coming around to it now....will see it in the flesh on saturday and decide then....i do think it should have white shorts though, not because of this "tradition, blah blah blah....." stuff, simple to break up the blue....this has the potential to look a bit simon cowell from afar

Mine came in the post this morning and it does looks a lot better when there's someone actually wearing it.

I think it will grow on me eventually.

Also the white 'hoop' at the bottom of the mens large shirt is about 2 inches.

Does it have the same sizing problems they had last year?

What do you mean by sizing issue?

The large fit me fine last year and this one fits just as well.

There were a few complaints last year as the shirts were too small, and you needed to buy a size bigger

Not sure then. Your best bet would be to try it on in the shop before you buy it.

I know thats the obvious solution, I ask because I live in Southampton and would save the trip if I got it online

Mine has been delivered today, but when I checked the shirt I bought for my one year old nephew they had sent him the wrong size.

Some may call me a fat bastard but isn't it time they offered a bigger size especially because they are sized too small anyway?

I thought the club said they do an XXL? Just how overweight are you?

Just got back from town and saw some speccy looking blokes wearing the new Reading home shirt. Looks awful. Outdated.

Like so most of the last few season's home kits, this is a "nearly got it right chaps, I'll save my money for another year" job.

Last few have been great from the front and shit from the back. This one is mediocre from the front and mediocre from the back.

Memo to kit manufactures: In your next attempt we want to see at least 6 alternating 2" - 4" blue and white hoops that go all the way round from front to back and all the way down from neck line to hem, or whatever you call the bottom.

Flavour with shoulder flashes, collar / no collar, blue / white shorts and blue / white / hooped shorts to taste.

It's not a matter of how overweight somebody is but if they are gonna label it xxxl then they should make it that size!
Trust me there are hundreds more down there on match days way bigger then me and the club are missing out on revenue because of the sizing.
I bought a Puma top in the club shop a few weeks ago size xxxl and it's plenty big enough, I like a bit of room to move, not fit where it touches. Bought an xxxl new shirt and it's like a oxf*rd str8 jacket. In comparison it must be an xl.
Why is that?
Yes I would like to buy all the new kits but I'm not going too if they don't fit. So that's a good £120 they won't get from me.
How many other?
Is this the ultimate cloth cut FFS???

Go a size larger. I got this season's shirt yesterday, I normally wear a large, but like last year I have had to go for an XL.

It's a pity you couldn't have seen it earlier, I suppose.

Second year running Puma's sizes have been out of sorts. I wanted an XL but it was too tight, and the XXL was way too baggy on the sleeves, so I left it. £58 saved.

I heard a number of others moaning in store as well, and the manager just said there had been no other complaints...

I can walk into Burtons or any other 'label' and by a large or x-large, and those are the ones that are normally a little smaller than they should be!

Puma are dump!
