And we paid how much for Edozie, Larios etc ???

Even Rupert Lowe invited supporters input in the kit selection. Possibly a lot easier when it’s produced in house, but I doubt we’d end up with the crap we’re served up with if fans views are canvassed. For me a feature on a striped shirt is ‘stripes on the back?’. If that’s not available then I’d sadly be inclined to scrap the stripes altogether.

There were a few on display at the SF, looked really good. Put a lot of modern efforts to shame.

Good, can we loan him to Eastleigh for the rest of the season ?

This is where FAB should come into play and rattle a few at the club, if they have anything about them or serve any purpose. But they probably won’t. Imagine they’re too inclined to just nod along to whatever they’re told, and be grateful the club listen to them on whether the concourse should stock Quavers and Wagon Wheels.

All a matter of opinion but for me the mono colour crest is the least of my concerns. The design and the ridiculous back panel render discussion about the crest pointless. the design is more important, after who will be wearing it of course. Get the team right and I don’t suppose we’ll care too much if the change kit is them playing in their underpants. (In answer to Trousers question I’m pretty sure others have done this with the badge it, but can’t recall who or when).

Not belittling your efforts by any means, but if you can come up with these designs (even those copying earlier kits), why can’t the manufacturers, or the club adopt something better than the shit they’ve agreed ?

Quite simple. Pay up or fuck off. Palace have probably got more money to splash.

At least until Liverpool or Utd have a couple of injuries and make a late August bid.

This assumes that a)both stay fit, and b)both repeat the form from Jan-May from last season. Towards the end of last season my hope was that we’d start this with Larin and Stewart plus another CF possibly to be eased in over the season. This would remain the hope if Stewart stays, and more important if he doesn’t (in which case he needs to be ready from the outset). In CF ideally I’d like to think we’re looking at one of similar stature to Stewart in height, a proper CF not a shortarse like Dobbin no matter how good he is elsewhere. Whether this is Azon, Lankshear (permanent or possibly on loan) or another remains to be seen.

Add these to the list: classic. Remember MLT, and Pahars in this Memories of Ricky Lambert

The best blue kits in my view have been the navy blue efforts (blue/sky Rank Xerox, or navy blue with yellow in L1). Both were designed as football shirts not a psychedelic mish mash.

Whoever accepted this design must be a complete moron. Shocking if true.

it is predominantly royal blue - should never happen. Design is hideous. All in all, an absolute abortion of a shirt. But I wouldn’t put it past them to go for something ‘different’

And lumbered himself with a poor squad including injury prone players, or those returning from injury.
