    Cant help but feel that the Cash convertors logo, cheapens the look of the shirt with that black background, would have prefered just the writing on it, similiar to the Motherwell shirts which look very classy in comparrison

    Compare our shirt with the Stoke shirt and it just looks cheap, hopefully ours will have stripes on the back also.

    Financialy it sounds a good deal for the club with a projected 7 figure sum, just visually it looks crap

    Should have had Jimmy modelling it, as he's on his way out (with luck) and he certainly has a way with cash!

    (Afraid it makes Rosie look a bit of a twat).

    It says it will have stripes on the back. Think this could be the first season i don't buy a shirt, can't bring myself to wear a cash converters logo. Sounds a financialy good deal though...

    here's me thinking it'll be a good day, I woke up seeing Ngog might not be playing in a Liverpool shirt again :) but now I see the next home shirt. On the positive side it could save me £40, I'm kind of hoping the away shirt looks as 'appealing' and 'attractive'.

    I think the design isnt too bad and dont give a toss whos name is on the front, the money it brings to the club is more important.

    i like the new home shirt, nothing wrong with the design. we wanted thick stripes and we got them, front & back.

    the sponsor could have been better, but if we think about what the whole idea behind a sponsor is, its purely income. we're getting a good 7 number figure into the bank and that can only be good for the club.

    Why are City so bad at getting the Ssirts on sale quickly. Home kit available early July & if true the away kit not available until after the season begins???!!!! Do we have a problem with getting cash in the bank as quickly as possible, are we just daft or is there something else going on.....gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    Anyway - were another day nearer the season starting so effin good!

    Like the shirt, hate the sponsor logo. I don't particularly like the actual sponsor but if it'd been subtle, it wouldn't have been as bad.

    I don't mind when they release the kit. I hate teams who have next seasons kit out before this season has finished.

    For me another disappointing show from Adidas. I was hoping for Adidas to be a step up from Umbro and make some great looking kits. So far I personally would rather have any of the Umbro kits over anything Adidas has offered us so far home and away.

    Any news on the away kit? colour etc?

    Also if anyone knows, who actually picks the template? do we get a list of the generic ones on offer or do Adidas choose for us?

    Socks and shorts look ok. I don't like cash converters, to me it says 'giro' or 'stolen', but the sponsor panel itself looks ****e compared to the Motherwell effort. Ours looks ironed on, very last minute and desperate.

    I won't buy a shirt solely on the basis that it looks ****. Even Rosenior looks perplexed in the photo!

    I guess we'll now be known as 'The Uncles' instead of The Tigers<laugh>

    What a **** shirt.






    Edit: Correction - Logo

    Cash converters may have paid a big sum but the club will loose money if people don't buy the shirt...

    They'll sell, same as always. The first Championship shirt was hideous quality, it sold tons, the second PL shirt was crap, that sold. Last years had that horrid fuzzy detailing on and sold plenty.

    It's ironic that the Hull scag heads who go out committing burglary then take their items into cash converters to get a few quid to feed their habit are in some way financing the sponsorship deal - how proud I feel!

    On the shirt front, it is rather dreadful, I had high hopes with Adidas but alas they have let us down. The sponsor looks awful, it reminds me of the infamous Needlers patch on the away kit 1994/95 when they couldn't get the shirt remade by matchwinner despite losing bonus as the sponsor so they just stuck a huge patch with 'Needlers' on over the original 'Bonus' sponsor.

    Oh well what do we expect... another season another ****e shirt!

    It's a desperately disappointing sponsor, it sends out a shocking message about the city as a whole.

    As has been mentioned, if the logo was just white and directly onto the shirt(rather than being in the box) it would be more subtle and wouldn't be so bad, but as it is, it's ****(as the away shirt is plain, hopefully the logo won't be in a box and it will look better).

    Either way my lads not wearing a shirt promoting a place where skagheads to go to flog the gear their bent gear.

    I see the club are trying to alter supporters perceptions by calling 'cash converters' the 'offline Ebay'! ...No need for that stupid patch! It takes the piss even more when you realise that nicer effort for Motherwell is only their training kit!!!
