I think the general gist is that those that like the shirt come on, state that, then leave.
Many of those that don't like it have then linked the new design to the subsequent fall of western civilisation.

It somewhat reminiscent of when the Wildcat Logo was brought in, at that time it was awful, "everyone" hated it, it would kill off any sales of stuff we had because no-one would buy anything with a Cartoon cat on it....

Meanwhile many years later.... stuff still being sold, revenue still being earned.

to quote John Lydgate “You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time”.”

Whites not really your best colour is it

Nor hoops believe it or not.

So if you don't like the shirts and support Trinity, you have a axe to grind, seriously? You make it sound like it's more than not liking a shirt.

Funny thing is even though I won't be buying a shirt for me personally, I will be forking out for 3 or 4 for the family, good job christmas is close.

agree it coud be a whole lot worse.

will be getting one tomorrow and hopefully use my £10 voucher from 1873 Lottery win against it.

Look, the shirts are e if you want to buy one then buy one, if like me think you they are abhorant then don't. This thread is boring the udders off me so can we just lock it and move on.

or if its boreing u that much why not just stay off it? haha

People are stating an opinion on the shirts.

Some people need to respect others opinions. Whether they agree with them or not.

Jeez.

What are we doing, having a fashion parade or getting behind the team by showing our colours. Im sure the players notice & appreciate the supporters when wearing a shirt even when they`re not stood with the rest of the supporters they will stand out in a crowd. If its a fashion accessory you want go see about buying a rival teams shirt.

Or wear an old one that doesn't make it look like you need a good wash.

I like them.

Saw the pictures on twitter when I was on my way down and thought they looked grubby, but they look much better in person. Also as others have said, some of the training/leisurewear looks great this year!

Have to laugh at your indignation on this issue. I mean you're right yet when it suits you and your the one wanting to be positive you use exactly the same tactics - hypercritical perhaps?

Feel for the club here as in I think they have really tried with the Fluer d'leys (spelling) a nice ides. Personally don't think it's worked but it's all very subjective, for me less is more.

That said if we win at Wembley in that strip I won't care, it will be the best strip we ever had

Can't see the big deal. If you like it great, if you don't, either don't buy one, or buy an older one.
I like it without being over excited about it.

For the more rotund of us, a stripe across the chest is far more forgiving than one across the belly as we have had before.

I think the point is if you make a marmite shirt you're limiting potential sales. True you can't please all the people all the time, but these are real dividers, and a few who are buying them are only doing so because it's got the club badge on.

I've seen them close up now and the blue one isn't that bad and the pattern does work. Unfortunately it doesn't work on the home shirt. I noticed the sponsors logo looks like an iron on transfer. I presume this is just on the sample shirt.

All very true.

Simple request, if it's not to late is there any chance of removing the background pattern on the Home strip?

Let's not make this a stubborn pride issue, if it can be sone let's do it as popular opinion seems to want it.

If it can't then let's all forget about it and adopt a win some you lose some mentality and just buy it anyway. To be honest they are just for show anyway.

Not sure what you're on about, as usual, but you're nothing if not predictable.

Examples please, for those of us who struggle to understand gibberish

Easy my friend.

When there was talk of McPherson joining us, I mentioned that I felt he was one of those Aussies who was here for a retirement cheque and was thus over rated and we should avoid at all cost. However you'd already waxed lyrical about him as is your right and decided I was a disrespectful idiot who should keep quiet - ring any bells?? It was just a negative opinion that didn't suit your "positive" opinion of that moment and boy you didn't like it - and I've also seen you do it to numerous other posters.

You see you're at a disadvantage here because I'm definitely poacher turned gamekeeper on this style of posting.

The blue shirt is starting grow on me a little bit, might just tempt me to buy it. Why does the shirt have stitching right across the chest? No need for it and it looks so uncomfortable

Linky?

That background is the thing that's making these shirts a bit special. Let me (and plenty of others I think) get mine bought before you get it turned back to just another run of the mill replica shirt.

Just one thing to say about the new shirts "do I look fat in this?"

That always makes me think of the time I was asked..."Does this dress make my bum look big?"
Trust me on this, the correct answer is not "No bigger than any other dress" or "It's not the dress that makes your bum look big"
