    Why is the Malaysia logo put on a white panel over a blue hoop? Looks wrong it should be printed directly onto a white hoop, would look far classier.

    Agree, I much prefer the Les Ferdinand era wider hoops.

    Yes sir...... I agree with you completely. You know what riled me even more? The fact that they put the White "Air Malaysia" rectangle advert over the blue hoop rather than the white! Who came up with that brilliant idea? <grr> There's white - so wouldn't you put it over the white? <doh>

    Dont mind the hoops too much although they could be a bit wider, but what bugs me is the squres on my red and white 3rd kit are to big!!!

    Great posts Brix and Beth.. Can’t argue with any of your facts Brix, spot on as always, but after reading all that I'm almost embarrassed to admit it but… Personally, I quite like the thinner hoops.
    :emoticon-0111-blush
    There, I’ve said it! I’m out and I’m proud!
    However, like Beth, what I really don’t like though is the pompous and ostentatious new club crest, and in particular the stupid heraldic fluffy feathers things which around it. Those bits of pointless fluff manage to be two things which normally would be mutually-exclusive; i.e. they’re both pretentious and utterly meaningless. Not only that but they are also reminiscent of Flavio’s silver mullet! I dearly hope that we get rid of it in the next close season, and judging the comments made about it by Amit and Tony I think that we probably will.
    The only real question is what to replace it with…… :undecided:

    The emblem behind the bloke in red on your avatar TIMK? (Who is that bloke anyway? Is it you or some random?)

    If your OP were a painting it would have to be a Bridget Riley in a gallery full of Crying Boys as well as a few minor masterpieces;but the walls must be covered!

    Spot on Norway! Whilst I would like to say that the picture is of me in my prime, the truth is that it is indeed inspirational early 80s midfield maestro Tony Currie..
    Now, about the crest; I do love the old QPR crest that Tony can be seen sporting in his classic all red with black shorts early 80s QPR away kit, and I’m all for retro, but to be honest I think that it’s just too dated to go back to now.. I think on balance that I would like to see us return to just using the QPR initials on any new crest (rather than the full words), but probably the whole thing would need updating somewhat. To be fair, anything which doesn’t have the pointless feather fluff around it would be an improvement! <ok>

    Wow! Cheers twins. The swirley whirley bird against a back drop of silly prints for every living room! Well there you go.

    And there was me thinking (until Saturday's exhilarating performance woke me up) that my only issues were too many hoops and too little quality! Lucky I'm in the transport game then, eh? Stick to the day job I hear you suggest. 'Course I will mate - but only in working hours!

    I need better glasses! To my eyes the picture looks like a kid in red with a baseball cap on backwards - even when I try to enlarge it!

    And to think of all the money I spent going to games back then just to watch them silky Currie skills!!

    No Brix, the opposite! You actually could give up the day job, as someone else noted earlier and earn your crust at this!!
    I really like Rileys paintings, had them on my bedsit wall in Kensal Rise in the 70's and they cheered me up in those grey days, but couldn't look at them after a few pints!
