Soz Trinny, I don't believe that IS the actual kit, I simply meant the colour scheme. I much prefer us to have stripes for our away kit. Proper ones. None of your subtle bollocks. Stripey stripes.
That's what I thought. Is there any occasion where we could wear blsck/red stripes but we couldn't wear black/amber stripes? It's too similar for me.
It would indeed be completely useless as a third kit. Unless we got invited to an AC Milan fancy dress party.

is that inside info OLM? Will not 3rd kit (I presume the away kit for Europe) be white, to enhance the Tiger brand in the Far East, or would that be a wrong presumption in terms of what the 3rd kit would be used for. And can I add my voice to the love the home Goalkeeper's shirt debate.
Harrogate play in yellow and black, so it'll be interesting to see which kit we will wear in that game.
I really don't like the Keeper kit at all. Not one.little.bit. Still, its only the keeper kit so no biggie. My lad likes it and gets the keeper kit every year. Not keen on Milan-esque rumoured 3rd kit, although the strpies are better than something more random. Don't actually think the third kit is real. Just can't see it. No doubt I'm wrong though. The home kit though. Bloody ace. Would have preferred no shield and 1904 or at least just no shield, but that's a minor quibble. I'll be buying my first home kit since erm... ages. 90s some time. Or 80s even. I generally buy away kits.
Anyone found a definite translation of the Chinese characters yet? Wiki tells me for sure the first two symbols are a 1 and a 2. So I'd expect Bet for the 3rd, but maybe 12Bet use a different word in Chinese as it does not appear to be Bet so far as I can tell. Mind you I'm from Hull not Beijing...
I saw Mags wearing the keeper kit and it actually looks pretty good in real life. I was at Ferriby tonight and honestly, the kit doesn't look too disimilar to last seasons, bar the amber socks.
They are not really 1 and 2. I took Chinese for a few years in college. They are 1 and 2 but they have financial connotations to them. The real symbol for 1 is "-" for lack of a chinese keyboard.
Na no such luck. The third symbol has a variety of meanings as most Chinese characters mean different things depending on the symbols around them. The use in this situation would be to gamble or play a game. It can mean other things like wealth as well but I think the gamble one is the most appropriate. The act of betting is a different symbol. So the financial one and two in front of it would imply that that the name roughly means "£1 £2 Gamble" not really £1 obviously just the concept that the 1 had financial meaning to it. Chinese is very much about context every symbol will normally have 5 or 6 meanings and each symbol is really up to 4 symbols contained in one symbol. The meaning can often be found by breaking down the 4 symbols contained within the greater symbol. For instance the symbol for a garage is really the symbol for a roof over the symbol for a vehicle. I absolutely hate Chinese, hated every min of it so here ends the lesson, and we shall not discuss it again.
