    Brixton - When I originally read your thread title, I initially thought the topic of discussion was going to relate to:-
    Too Many Hoops = "Current 40 man squad is way too large" and Far Too Thin = "Squad stretched too thin on the ground" - oh how wrong I was!

    Good one Beth, i'll look out for Morton in the future.
    Reading's hoops no longer go around the shirt, so they are not in the real sense hoops anymore.

    I know Kilburn, you and me both... but then these heathens (twins, LIUTB and NUTS aside) decided to ignore the underlying message and get stuck into the furnishings! Thread's gone haywire and my artistry kaput! And to add injury to insult, Beth's questioning my gender!! Now I'm gonna have to wait for another boring Sunday night to think up some other riddle.

    Oh well, least it got people talking about something other than managers, signings and CernyBerny!!

    I accept the home shirt isn't nice.
    I hate the away strip (looks like a wolves shirt)
    I really do like the 3rd red and white strip.
    I abso-frickin-lutely love/loved/love the Adidas Guinness sponsored shirt - Mine had 3 big blue hoops which were red edged before the white hoop. It also had 3 red stripes down to the end of the elbow, and was complemented with a (mainy) red, white and blue v-neck....aaah bring it back please!!!
    The crest has grown on me......finally.
    But, at the end of the day, I accept these decisions are beyond me, I support QPR and I have done so for nigh on 40 years, many a chairmen, many managers have been and many players have I come to see: all of whom, I think, are the greatest players playing for the greatest team, wearing the greatest shirt in the world I have ever seen, and, you know what?
    I still do...........
    COYRsssssssss
    (Thank you BrixtonR)

    Much of the kit problems come from the manufacturer who is far from the best design wise. Puma would sort things out far better and have make some great kits, Cameroon in particular. Failing that, Adidas.

    Interesting - puts our green/white hoops away shirt selection from last season in some historical perspective.

    Rather like the dark/light blue 1882-1886 shirt, which would certainly be a preferable away shirt compared to that awful "mango" rendition (don't mind the red & white squares, court jester one though).

    Great stuff, absolutely hilarious, great to see Sir Les in action - thought they were going to start swinging the handbags.

    Great video 999, never seen it before. What a laugh <laugh> Those 90's, the fashion decade. I even had the same hairstyle as Dichio (shudder) <whistle>


    Ohhhhh, to have the likes of Ferdinand and McDonald again <magic>
