New Kits

Renamed in memory of John Hawksworth, a stalwart member who passed this day 2nd August 2020. RIP Mr Monkeybutt.

Sadly we must add the name of Kevin Minton, Aka Mr Ripper who passed 30/6/22. Kev was also Mr politically incorrect but a nicer lad you could never meet.

The home kit is canny.

But the away kit is a bit too busy for my liking... the logo spoils it :laugh:

I like them both, I'd have preferred a proper collar on the away strip, but that's probably just me being an old fart. Nice to have an away strip that isn't blue for a change.

Fantastic :laugh: me mate still has that and wears it. I bought the away strip that season, the red shadow stripes, I loved it. I'm now about twice the weight I was when I bought it, gave it away years ago to a very grateful (and slim) footy shirt fanatic.

Very similar to the early 2000’s strip.
Like it.

Yes I still have the early noughties kit too - this one is similar but different enough to sell - if I was even thinking of buying one that is. As for the away kit, it's not for me - it looks like it's harking back to Grayson's Blackpool days. Ah well, we need to get used to being Tangoed I guess.

I have a number of away tops that I wear with pride when I’m in sunnier climes.

Usually gets a bit of conversation going with other football types.

Thinking I’ll be swerving this one though.
Like the home top. Still got the similar one from the early nouties that my daughter wore when we used to go to the games together

I would have one of each if Raj cleared off. They're both good.

Whelmed by the home shirt and the away offering is awful. Can only assume they went for orange in case we were playing mergy/ rush keeper!

Can you not get some of that iron on stuff {think it's called Vilene- used to take trousers up) and put it on the inside before applying the iron with a tea towel between the shirt and the fabric?

Edit -
Just had a look on Mr Google - can get a roll of it for about 4 and a half quid ;)

Steady on Gray- don't want you getting all excited and blowing a gasket!

In my capacity as a Design Technology teacher - I've had to teach a few Textiles lessons down the years (well I say teach- more like wing!) Not a strong point and the sewing machines used to scare the shit out of me! Still I have managed to use the iron, tie die and heat transfer press with some success - not that I like to boast, obviously! :dance:

No probs Ketts, Only Joe King

Never been able to get a grip with an Iron, Although (keep this to yourself) I do like designers who know what they are doing with regard to which fabrics will actually work together.

Home kit is okay, shame about the mickey mouse sponsor. Not keen on the away strip collar.

Why do we have to have TWO new shirts every season nowadays - it's ridiculous.
Wasn't that long ago that we alternated- new home one year, new away the year after. Can't make that much difference in terms of revenue surely sctatchinghead

it must do as the club would not be doing this. in normal circumstances they would be selling quickly now for the ones who think wearing the current shirts is a necessity to supporting the team. be interesting this season what the uptake will be.
