Yes, it is a nice kit although, as you say, the sponsor must be paying a truckload. The neckline looks good and the hoops go all the way round ............ well done Puma !
Actually I like ours a lot better (the red collar, red trim, blue sleeves (from the front... but then that leaves the @@@@@ back
Is that a sick joke? Looks like a bastardised Derby logo. Weird! Who / what is the sponsor? Googled it and just got hits for the beast of that name.
I can't get tooooo excited about one shirt design or another but surely this is conclusive evidence that there has been a cock up and we could have had proper hoops? Hoops are so central to our history, we should have pushed hard on this to see whether there were any elbow room or loopholes to allow us hoops. It's hard to believe but Reading seem to have been smarter than us on this one.
Their excuse is that the shirt was designed before we knew our fate in the Premiership, where there is a ban on hoops due to the EPL hiring a larger number of blind refs due to equality pressures.
I can hear the seethe from here mate. I wonder why they couldn't have had two designs for both eventualities of staying up or going down?
Mate i cannot believe this and really P'd with QPR for not having hoops (even though i don't wear the kit). Need to meet up for a beer sometime this season as well. Wembley seems a long time ago.
Of course they are hoops and you know it! What else are they? They just don't go all the way round that's all! *bangs head against brick wall*......again! Let's split hairs on this pic from a few years back then. The top hoop doesn't go all the way round, so presumably not proper hoops? Don't remember anyone mentioning these were not proper hoops at the time!!!! please log in to view this image
Even wearing my glasses I can see the names and numbers on those shirts without any trouble....fecking Premier League has got a lot to answer for.....
I think it's the Premier league that insists on the patch, and the design for the coming season had to be submitted before we were relegated. Reading were never going to be in the PL hence they have proper hoops and no need for the ridiculous patch.
Saw the back of the shirt today and that puny token hoop is dreadful, Nike have been by far the worst kit designs for years and thats taking into account the Le Coq Sportif shirt that Sheron wore!
So very true, however, QPR is a club that enjoys its history and traditions and as much as its only a football kit it does make us look like a bunch of idiots with one solitary hoop. Even Mackie had a dig at the kit!
