New shirt for 2020

[clifford]

Do you think the new kit will be released before Christmas like other clubs, even league one clubs have this organised

I wouldn't hold your breath

I asked Santa for a Magic Unicorn, "Impossible" he said "Be realistic!", so I asked for an Oldham RLFC shirt to be available before Christmas. 

He said "What colour Unicorn do you want?"

[Paello]

That is the first thing that Marketing Queen should have changed and not the unnecessary vile hideous shield

[Whitworth Yed]

Why would a club short of money want to waste their time by bringing out the shirt before Christmas?

Christmas parties don't organise themselves people!

Just thought I'd point out, @Paello isn't my fake account to blow off steam,

[Paello]

Yes I am

[roughyed34]

Cancel that Unicorn haha, shirt is out and looks damn good tbf

[Paello]

I eat my words. No shield and before Christmas. Win Win

[Bucksyed]

I agree looks good . Just ordered mine.

The crest on the shirt is a hybrid of the Trumpton Shield and the Town Crest.  We've got different shades of red going on that doesn't work to my eyes.

Anyway, the Trumpton Shield falls at the first hurdle.   Supposed to be a new branding for the club but found wanting on social media and now doesn't appear on the 2020 shirt.  

A failed exercise.  Get it binned.

Having said that, the shirt's great, just the ticket.  I'd have had more donkeys on though.

I don't know, there's a bulletin that comes out from the RFL in the week leading up to games and it stipulates there which strip we'll be playing in.  I don't know whether that's an instruction or it's Oldham's decision.

I also suspect that since we have to have two strips, since they take a battering, we may as well get best use out of both sets.

I'd prefer red/white hoops at home, blue/white hopes when away if there was a clash.  

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

The main reason for a different away shirt is commercial. As well as selling 2 shirts. Some clubs have different sponsors for home and away, so it helps to differentiate the sponsors in the minds of the public. We've had different shirts for years. Remember the red home and blue away boddingtons? 

[clifford]

On the whole the shirt is good, but I would like the blue sponsors name in the red hoop and the r wholly in the red hoop but I think that they were trying to marry up with the crest

[clifford]

Dave, do you know if the sponsors name will go in the red hoop to make more pleasing on the eye
