Plus the free name and number on the back

Cheaper than the football shirts with all the offers

Not quite traditional as the hoops are WAY too big, but its a big improvement on recent efforts though and if i didnt have my retro shirt i might have even looked at buying one of these.

I'm just glad it isn't a ghastly thing like the last 2 or 3 have been.

Looks good IMHO.

Looks good, might ask Santa for one

As someone who has argued for a "more traditional" kit in the past, I like it. It looks like a proper kit. At the same time it's quite modern. It's way, way better designed than our last three home shirts. Particularly the "baby sick" effort of two years ago and last years "can't be bothered designing one so we'll go with the base template we used for Bradford's shirt" effort.

One thing though, the white writing on the gold hoop is not really noticable at any distance whatsoever. They may want to rethink that bit.

Looking good. Traditionalish and smart

not bad... will look good and stand out on the terraces! liking the collar

looks nearly the same as the home kit that we wore the year we got to twickenham final...

will wait for the away shirt though now.

£33 with the offers is a good price

Its not bad,certainly an improvement on recent ones, funny thing is we were saying that last few years there hasn't been enough gold and yet i think there is too much gold on this, although its nice to see claret and gold hoops again

Liking it,needed more gold compared to recent,will def buy it.Will be first home one bought since the 2009 season.

Hope it brings us better luck.COYG

Same for me, some of our recent designs have been gash.

Last years was very plain & boring.Not a great seller neither I do believe.

ive bought the last 3 alternative shirts blue/white/grey... still got the 2006 home shirt which is very similar to this new one

Yeah still got the Twickers 2006,plus the white caboodle.Might have got the grey/purple last year but not keen on the vomit splodges.

Wonder what they will come up with for an alternative this time.

purple and someone said it was going to have a lightning bolt across it!

Something a bit different then

Re the purple/ lightning bolt- Werent they talking about a previous Gateshead shirt?

no, that came up later in the topic chat about it reminding them of the gateshead thunder kit

Anyone bought one yet? what's the quality and fit like ?

I like it & they go up to fat bloke sizes for once

Might have to pitch in for one in the new year

think you can only pre order so not in the shops to buy yet.

do you get a £10 voucher off for trading in an old shirt??

and for the extra £5 off being a season ticket holder your supposed to get that off too but we dont have a voucher for this as the books arent out yet??

over 100 old replicas handed over on saturday.. so someone should be able to answer how we get the £15 off?

Yep when you hand your shirt over they give you a voucher. If you are a season ticket holder they can confirm that in the system. The guy said they are expecting the shirts two weeks before xmas.
Incidentally the guy dealing with the shirt amnesty said any other stuff -especially kids clothes and shoes would be gratefully received for the container to PNG- can take them down to stadium reception.

Claret and gold? Looks more like claret and carrot to me

I do hope the fans version is not as tight fitting as the players one as it might not be a pretty sight on matchdays.

speak for yourself matey
