THE RED ROOSTER Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 While I am all in favour of a black kit, It looks moree like a polo shirt and should have a chevron.

I am going to hold off buying a black t-shirt until I can at least see what the sponsors will look like on it (Not that I am all that hopeful of having actual sponsors other than Betfred, etc!) Hoping for a better effort on the away kit .. Great the club have done this Black Friday sale.. On the two products.. (technically 1, junior & adult shirt). After everything that has happened regarding London since the final whistle in Toulouse, I was at least hoping for a good shirt for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably more from it coinciding with one of our better periods of our history.

The font in the shirt usually matches the branding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ended up with the number 13 and his first & last name on the back of his shirt instead of what he actually wanted written there. It was always quite funny that season seeing hsi full name while he as walking around the ground that season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not much of an expert on fonts but with the lines around the names the writing looks tacky and likely to be hard to read. The former is personal taste (I think it just looks nasty) but the latter is, I think, a problem. I agree it looks fine for the numbers. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

They may have gone with it because of clubs going for shirts with patterns all over it to try make the names snd numbers actually stand out more. Not a fan of that kind of treatment to fonts though it does as stated make them look cheap. if i could be bothered it eould be interesting to see the stules weve had throughout SL. Think the font around 2012 was particularly poor it was a rounded style and looked cheap like next years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the standard of our sponsors for the last ... 10? years, any sponsor is better than nothing. We didn't even have a main shirt sponsor last year until the playoffs. I guess that also helps for just having what is essentially a black t-shirt.. Most sponsors should be able to integrate onto it relatively easily.

Wellsy4HullFC Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I don't mind that London shirt at all. Sometimes less is more. Far better than some of the acid trip shirts we've seen in the past. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had sponsors etc it may look like a professional shirt, but it's plain nature really just highlights the fa t that the club has nobody signed up. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
