The Poolie Bunker

Anybody know when the new strip is set to be unveiled?

Must be soon. What you fancying? I'd love a meyba version of the 77 bukta strip.
Judging by the new livery on their Facebook page, it looks like blue and white stripes or blue with the off centre meyba stripes. I'm hoping a yellow away strip.

Which one was that, you’ve got me thinking now….?

cannot we just get the right design and colours and stick with it with just the odd variation every 2 seasons like different collers. change kits are fair game for us and any club to make a profit on.

All blue, bukta logo down the sleeve. White collar v neck, triangle club badge centre of the chest.

Bukta? - I nearly split her, in two!

Think that's the solid royal blue one, with white collar and the triangular badge.
A strong choice Bobby.

If we're going retro would like a the Cameron's lion shirt with broad blue and white strips ( circa 1999/ 2000)
Surely the brewery might want to get involved again, now the new regime is in situ?

anything with camerons as a sponsor will do me. its local and you think of them when the town is mentione.

Feck me…I’ve got that shirt…..it’s my badge…still doing the rounds.

They made stuff to last in those days. Got a Ben Sherman shirt that I bought in the 70s that I wore for decades. It's still hanging up in the wardrobe in case I lose that 2 clem I put on at the turn of the millennium

Ben Sherman shirts were addictive…all those pastel colours had you looking like a stripey pile of Opal Fruits, I loved them.

Bit of a teaser on the club twitter. If you are able to expand the picture, it looks like we are going back to a broader stripe

A coming soon teaser on Facebook, looks like we're back to blue and white stripes. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

And solid blue sleeves?

Workwear Express to be the new front on the home shirt.

Let’s see how close my ChatGPT skills are…

Hope it's wrong, the Work wear branding is too big and the blank back doesn't look good imo.

Looks mint like, shame the sponsor is iron on but still very nice

Not too far off..

Nothing revolutionary but that's no bad thing.

Fingers crossed for the away kit - didn't like last year's at all.

I really like it. They've resisted the urge to fanny about with the design, it's the right side of traditional for me.

I like that- looks smart- would have been even better with a Cameron's Lion on it.

Are we getting a new away shirt or are we keeping last seasons?
I'm sure a few years ago they used to alternate- a new home shirt one year and a new away shirt the year after. Though I suppose that assumes you keep the same shirt manufacturer.

Now that we've got Raj's free advertising off the front of the shirt- anyone heard anything about having it painted off HQ?
Would love it to return to The Victoria Ground. (if we have to have a sponsor maybe have 'in association with' afterwards)

It looked like washed out high hazard safety kit.

According to the O.S. there is going to be a limited supply of a long sleeve one, I can never understand why players wear long sleeve vests under their shirts

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean others don’t as well.
Personal preference.

Where did I say I didn’t like it Snowy, I said they were going to sell a limited number of long sleeves ones, I didn’t say I didn’t like short sleeves. My point was why do players wear long sleeved vests under their tops. I have edited my post from stand to understand, maybe that confused you at sunrise.

they wear them because for there reason they like their arms covered and most clubs now do not issue a long sleeved version. once ll shirts were long sleeved and the players just rolled em up if they wanted to.

Why do they want their arms covered, having long sleeves vests gives the opponent something to grab on to.

Daftest one is short sleeves and gloves.

New strips, unless hideously bad have no real impact on me.

i cannot be the only one with cold arms and hands in winter and prickly heat when the warm sun is out. personally i think players and match officials look smarter in long sleeved shirts.

probebly the same for all older fans who are not the group clubs sell there replica shirts to. as long as the club stays with blue and white i,m not bothered either. its whats inside the kit that interests me.

I prefer long sleeve shirts too Accy, but then again how would the tattoo generation show them all off?, who would see my Rink End Skins tat on my forearm circa 1979

my forearm is so small i,d have to follow Bury to get something football related tatood on it.
