Pools new strip

Did nobody at the club mention the fact that Pools play in vertical Royal Blue and White stripes?
We'll have to lump it but I can't see many liking it..

I think it looks good

Pools play in whatever kit they wear

30 years ago we didn’t wear stripes

Stop crying about it

I like it as well. Much better than the shocking BLK effort from last year.

I like the new strip.

It's different, I like it.

Too many carbon copy kits around these days, it's simple and classy.

My son loves the keepers kit, said it looks like a fruit salad.

Looks like we originally didn't play in stripes and have played more often not in stripes. I did not know that!

Looks brilliant! Can't see why people dislike it, personally I always associate pools with blue and not white.

Just hope Luke James doesnt get the 3XL!

I like it as well, makes a change from the bloody stripes!

It looks like a training kit rather than a match strip and it looks cheap. That’s why people dislike it.

You can’t please everyone. I like it and the reaction has been 99% positive.

I’ll take that.

If all people have to whinge about is the strip and Williams not playing in any friendlies then I guess we've had a decent summer.

its only a bloody kit the players wear on the pitch. its how they play in it that matters. as long as it aint black and white stripes i coul not care less.

Well I’ve stopped crying about it, I just won’t buy one. Will wear a stripy top at the match and posher polo top when I’m spending more in the Executive suite. Hoping that the rest of the new range is good for running in, the pre season kit was great.

Like a sausage skin! Shirts are tiny.

Size XXL more like a large.

Poor availabilty in the shop of anything over XXL.

No team wear much.

Same old story as BLK then? is it O'Neills or the club to blame.

Kallang Poolie · **Posted:** Sun Jul 14, 2019 9:29 pm

If the home shirt is all blue then I hope the away shirt is all white.

I think that's only an issue for those carrying a wok up their top. I am usually a Size L, bought a size L despite being advised to go two sizes up, and it fits perfectly.

"I think that's only an issue for those carrying a wok up their top."

Many of us do this just in case a quick stir fry is needed.........catering dept please take note.

Good news for those "carrying a wok up their top"

from OS:

"And with some supporters reporting a tighter fit in the home shirt, we have requested shirts be made in both 6XL and 7XL and these will also be due to arrive in August."

Feck me, we're turning into America! The problem surely isn't with the shirt sizes?!

I reckon needing an XXXXXXXL is fair indication your football shirt wearing days are over mind in my opinion being over 25 years old should anyway!

I'd say it's time to move to the black jumper look.

And also visit the personal trainer gadgie on here. Do I get some kind of finders fee?!

yloop · **Posted:** Wed Jul 17, 2019 4:18 pm

Who's a PT on here?

The only one I can think of is Phil Wanley PT. Personal training, bootcamps and diet plans. Competitive rates and a friendly inclusive atmosphere.

Phil Wanley PT, call now!

Do they do shirts in 9XL?

8XL was a bit tight

Perhaps there is scope for something like this ( I know, it is an old link) - or at least getting a healthier message out than increasing the shirt size to cope..

I'd rather complain and blame every kit manufacturer for the fact i'm now a larger size than 15 years ago.

Bluestreak · **Posted:** Thu Jul 18, 2019 2:21 pm

I blame the match day catering.

7xl? Who could possibly wear 7xl? Can only assume they're kits H'angus wears?

accrington fan · **Joined:** Wed Jan 20, 2016 3:22 pm **Posts:** 19738

always gets me why someone like me who used to buy M and without putting weight on has to buy L but still subsidising thoes XXXXL types who need more material in their stuff.

Bluestreak · **Posted:** Fri Jul 19, 2019 10:28 am

One of those 7XL would look great on top of the Trincomalee.
