I really like it, the newer badge looks a lot better than the one that was on last seasons

Very nice indeed!!

Lets hope they get a proper stock in this year!!

Probably because it was when it was designed!

well i like it and will be purchasing one

I know everyone is probably sick of me being negative but Im not too keen. We has a strip like a that a few years back didnt we? ie plain white (a 'super league' effort I beleive)

It does not look particularly classy nor is it memorable.

Another poor choice by the club imo.

FFS

That kit was an away kit, not a home kit. we used the white kit about 4 times if i remember correctly!

It is very very smart and probably win the award for best kit again!
Nike have done a good job on it.

Calm down ffs.

We might have only wore it 4 times and it might have only been an away kit but the fact is, it is very similar to a recent stirp and it is not too memorable. When you think of the Maroon Arsenal strip of a few years back, it sticks in the memory and a lot of people wear it. This white strip is dull as f*** and looks worse than the usual blue and white stripes.

Oh , and the badge is still sh*te. Bring back the Garry Gibson effort!

It looks like a cheap strip the local league sides would but what a let down.

i think you would have complained no matter what it looks like?

arsenals only sticks in the memory cos it was maroon, was still a boring shirt really.

I like this shirt, looks smart and classy.

I like it, personally probably won't buy one like, I think all football shirts are a very expensive item of clothing.

On another topic, RB looks to have lost some beef, looks like a lean mean goal scoring machine

He's wearing one of them elastic t-shirts under his shirt

Nah, he's just holding his gut in, he will still be the same useless f*cker he's been for years.

The stitching looks very low grade.

Yeah, it should make his run up for the penalties that much easier!

I've heard a rumour he's not going to take the penalties this season.

He doesn't see the point seeing as they don't count towards your end of season total

I really should check posts properly I thought he said RH

Those collars look like they could fray.

Nice looking strip, but that badge is fookin awful.......... though obviously i'll be buying it!

I hope the rest of the team get theirs in time

Notice the new sponsor on the back?

GPS (Global Process Systems).

Attached to the oil & gas industry so it ties up with Larsen, Dove etc...

I'm quite proud to be backed by IOR and the umbrella companies that they have such clout with. Good for both ends.

Devils Advocate...

So you'd be ambarrassed to win the League 1 title this year if we led the penalties tally come May??

They all count...you've still got to put them in the old onion bag...

It looks alright. I'm not going to wet myself over it but its as good as any other recent chioce.

I won't be buying it. I have yet to buy any home top when it has been 90%+ white and I won't do it again this time. Very disappointed.

Warning: humour bypass five posts above!

Just seen the new kit, I like it.

The badge is a nice touch too.

Fail to see how anybody can realistically whine about it either.

Cheap and tacky. What a disapointment.

Any reason we choce the 2 most overweight players to "model" it?

I do believe I already have that shirt. Exactly the same just made from an awful clicky material from about 5 seasons back.

What a nice top.

Fairly close to 100 years ago!

Yeah, I thought that too.

That helm crest is beginning to look like a liabilty.

Even on the shirt, our crest has never looked like the ones printed in the programme or on my official pennant.

Now I believe this is what our offcial crest looks like below.

Might need redesigning somehow.

Our crest looks like Rochdale's during their centenary year - is it because they wear Nike kits as well.

I'm impressed with the sleekness of the strip - sometimes lost with a shirt that has blue and white stripes.

I like that we're going back to our roots, back to the first ever strip.

What we want is for the crest to go on a white shiled patch that looks like the one on my pennant and stitch that on without a seam.

Classy effort though.

I like it alot sure I'll look pretty good in it.

I like the new kit, Just amazes me how long we've had to wait for a White Shirt

Also is there anything to be read into Richie Barker having the Number 10 Shirt on? He was Number 9 last year and Joel was 10

Could just be that he's modelling the 2 shirts they've got of course

Well wear that one then with a white t-shirt underneath it and your 'curmudgeon badge' on your high viz jacket, and shut yer cakehole?

Cue, foul mouthed abuse, does this bloke kiss his mother with that mouth??

He looked in good shape last year if i remember correctly

That second badge is stunning. There is no way that Pools would ever achieve that standard though as they would no doubt ask some half blind schoolkid to design it rather than pay a proper designer. You have to remember that we are talking about the club who get a bunch of chavs to paint the admission prices above the gates freehand without even using a stencil or painting the footballers on the cyril knowles stand using the largets possible brushes thus meaning that half the wall ends up covered with paint.

I think the new QPR badge is a bit ironic - most new badges now do away with ornate stylings and they have in part, except they put loads off leafy shite round the outside. The QPR lettering was the most famous thing about them after Les Ferdinand.

I'm not sure about the new strip. I thought the badge looked a bit cheap on the strip but it's actually pretty well presented - a bit too white for my liking though

Some clubs improve their badge, like QPR. Others however manage the complete opposite.

Wigan Athletic last year:


Wigan for the new season:

Which wankers will be wearing the strip the day it comes out thinking they are "dead good"?

Richie Humphreys & Richie Barker ?

Are people not allowed to wear the new bloody shirt now?

and that makes you a wanker if you do?

I guess you buy clothes and wait 15 weeks to wear them eh cos your so cool?

From the person who was moaning 24 hours ago that the strip should have been available to buy at the end of last season

You're becoming a parody of yourself, just noise!!

You make Mr Grave look like a fully paid up member of 'optimists' from last season. I apologise I can't remember the two posters names, but you know who I mean the two blokes who were positive and behind the club/Danny Wilson to an extent that I started to question that they were watching those dull Pools matches towards the back end of the season through a glue bag

That new badge is fookin shite.....it's a tacky piece of kitsch,... the sort of thing the Beckhams would have for a coat of arms..you have got to be having a laugh. ..JEEEEEEZ I can't believe you said that..is your house like Brighton Pavillion?

BLAND, BLAND, BLAND.....a shirt that is neutral and serves no other purpose than to accentuate the sponsors logo...Pools are blue and white..it's the shirt that makes the statement of what you are, the shorts and socks are mere accessories. That shirt is like any club, anywhere, any pub , any town...I thought we'd learnt that much from the similar shirt in the 2003-4 season, but at least that had thin blue lines......NAH...it's not Pools.
