well i think its rubbish.

I would have preferred blue socks and also the back not to be solid. Just minor gripes, I like the strip on the whole.

I agree, I dont like the back or the collar.

Saying that, i'll still be buying and wearing it

It's ok. Not much more I can say really. How's that for sitting on the fence?

You ungrateful sod. The top could be a lot worse, so have a bit of gratitude.

OK pretty much sums it up. Not brill but not cack.

I'm more disappointed that they don't appear to be doing baby sizes. They make them for other clubs so it is obviously a conscious decision by Pools not to order any.

Its shyte. Why don't they go back to stripes instead of 1 stripe.

The red and black away one (but blue and white) would have been super smart and ideal.

i like it.

Its not great although we have had worse.

As has been said plenty of times, the club should consult with the fans as they will be the ones buying it. (LOL, silly me, as if!)

ps, I know the images are out of proportion making the players look fat anyway, but look at the size of Behans belly in the second last pic!

As everyone said its ok, I think a collar would improve the look of the strip. I am not a fan of the no-collar look.

Look at the tits on McSweeney !

One of the best designs of the back of a shirt that we've recently had.

I think white socks set the kit off perfectly and I don't think blue socks would have gone with this kit myself.

So far, I don't the design looks like it has been chosen from a catalogue, but the design clearly says "We're a Football League club", and I think that's perfect about the design.

I'm not too sure about the design on the shoulders.

Overall, I think it could grow on me.

Wouldnt the football league badges on the arms say that

To be honest, I would rather them wear nothing, and just play in their birthday suit. We could see who has the biggest nob in the team.

Well yeah, but they are more of a finishing touch.

I didn't you felt that way about genitalia.

Bag o shite. It just looks like the blue and white halved one we had a couple of years ago. There again, I don't buy or wear the shirts so I suppose my opinion on them is moot.

I quite like it

The genitals, or the strip ? Nice avatar, by the way.

One of the best designs of the back of a shirt that we've recently had - Poolie of kent

I agree, the back of a shirt is very important, and the back of this shirt is fantastic.

Players from opposing teams will be chasing our players but will be fantastically put off by how smart the back is.

I thought I missed the blue and white stripes carry on
but I prefer the centenary shirt loads more now

I'm a long sleeve shirt fan...wonder if there will be a long sleeve version available?
Over to you POK

Naff.....nuff said

Fairly indifferent tbh.
I don't think it's exactly screaming - 'Play-offs here we come!', but then we've had worse...that Centenary kit springs to mind. Non-descript, i thought.

I like it and might even buy it. I'd have definitely bought it if it had been released in June mind.

its just the 06-07 shirt but with a diffrent back,we all moan but im sure most of us will buy it.

I like it.

There you go with the long sleever smythe...

Why does it not have the hartlepool badge on ? Did someone pull it off or something ? I bet it's one of those fake shirts you get in Magaluf.

Someone ban this prick, he's about as funny as a car crash.

Yeah, I thought it was the same as the 06-07 shirt. I also thought, Wow this makes us look like a Football League team

But most of us would be buying them as you say

And only £16.99 . . . . . .bargain. . . . . . . now where's me felt tips. . . . . .

Concurring, it would look much better with a collar

Champion and at a bargain price... I'll get on with my badge & logos tonight

How do you knock up the badge and logos like?

Its not good enough, it's too expensive, they didn't ask me about the design, it has been released at the wrong time, the blue in the stripes isn't blue enough, I bet there isn't enough in stock, I bet if I spill the bloody expensive non-homemade pies down the front Pools won't pay the cleaning bill

Sunderland only charge £25 for their shirts, Chris Turner is a bounder

And so on

Im happy with it ive pre-ordered it.

Seriously, what is the point?

becasue he thinks it big and clever

Use me scanner and stick 'em on with selotape like i did with the 'Brazil Style' ...it looks well smart* and it's a lot cheaper than forking out 40 squid



*git tacky as owt but the tackier the better

If you don't know now, you NEVER will

Gum banging seems to be the order of the day old chap

No I don't thins it's 'big & clever', it is a mere synopsis of the dogcack spouted regarding the new shirt in the past couple of days

I mean, if you are a 40 year old man and can only have the shirt on your birthday, I would pack it all in now

I havent had a shirt for about 10 years, and the only place I wear that one is in the gym.

But the majority of opinions on the shirt are positive yet you seem on turning the thread into a bitch session. Whatever makes you happy I suppose though.
