Personally, I quite like the new Home shirt. I just hope its not made of that shiny material we've had the last few seasons (long shot I know, but not all clubs have the same material). Think I'll most likely go for the short-sleeved version, as it'll cost less (not by much I admit) and haven't been a fan of long-sleeved football shirts since I got one for the 2007/08 season.
I think the bluebird on the badge is a token gesture to the fans so as not to remove all heritage. Certainly the colour and massive dragon suggest that's what they want to be known for now.
I thought the red dragon was there to make it clear that they represent Wales, i haven't heard of any change to the nickname other than on sites like this anyway. To quote Tickler "TWT"
Maybe clubs should make a more of a fuss then. I'm not asking for a shirt designed from scratch, it just feels cheap that we'll be wearing the same shirts as sunday league teams.
I agree, but it's been the same for the last 6 seasons so we shouldn't be surprised now it's happened again. That said it actually works the other way round for clubs which get custom kits made, take Barcelona for example, their custom nike kit became available without the badges for sunday league teams after it was originally designed for them.
It's not a case of stripes or plain .. Or cost for me . Just pissed off that all adidas have done is give us one of there old £10.50p tops . We should have had something a bit more "made for Hull City" I think there taking the piss . I wonder If the club realise the same top is an old design and as cheap as chips .
If you think last years shirt withe the 'black box' was sh-te this new one is utter pooooooo---please oh please lets have a good quality stripe---lets be TIGERS
Who know's what the intentions are behind it, but given the change from blue to red was to make them more marketable in the east, moving from the bluebirds to the dragons would be an inevitable/logical step. I'm sure Cardiff fans and the fans of other clubs will still refer to them as the bluebirds though, I know I will. I have no idea what this means!
So this then... please log in to view this image Also, generally agree with this review http://hullcitykits.co.uk/
This has been done to death. We are not the only club that gets this, in fact it's only a small minority that actually get custom kits and most of those are by smaller brands and are awful. Of course the club knows about this, it's not just addidas that put the huge mark up on the actual production costs, the club make a killing too.
I agree with this, the stripes give us identity, without we could be just another Wolves to the casual fan. Thumbs down from me, but I'm happy as just got last seasons shirt for a tenner in the sale, with the Tiger stripes.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Allams were happy with this as it saves the club money if they can negotiate a cheaper cost price. Time will tell
I bought last years even with the hideous sponsor as for a tenner you can't go wrong, am not paying 40plus quid for a generic shirt
So do most fans except those who think because it's made be Adidas it must be good They won't be selling many shirts again this season
Good business opportunity for the Walton Street traders here. Buy the generic training top at £10.50, sew on a club crest and cash converters logo then sell at say £21. 100% mark up, minus logo and labour, yet still around half the price of the genuine article.
Im not going to read through ten pages of kit talk,so apologies if this has already been said,but i don't really give a **** how the new kit looks. It does look like a training top but hey ! Spare a thought for Cardiff eh !
