On the home kit, the stripes need to go down away from the neck toward the shoulder not across so you have 'hoops' all the way down the body. The sleeve from the shoulder is then hooped down, subtle difference but that IS the traditional design, the bands are too wide also.
The collar as well is horrible, the width is disproportionate AND it's also the wrong colour and should be white, especially as there is a block of black on the shoulders right next to it...all IMO of course.

I was expecting a more 'traditional' looking shirt and honestly this just isn't.
And as i said, the away one aside from the Prescott bit is god awful.

What they should have done is come up with a fair few choices and put them up on the website & in the HDM etc and let fans vote what they like before a final decision is made (with regard the home shirt and/or any special editions). They could have even had a competition for fans to produce a design of their own which would of course needed to be have being done earlier this year. Just another short sighted & lost opportunity.

Hmmm! I don't mind your post knocker, mostly agree with alot your saying, maybe not the way you say them, but I find it hard to disagree with most. But!!! This is just zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz your moaning for the sake of moaning, apart from the saints kits, it's easy better than rest, and the club have played a blinder on the marketing, record sales on the home shirt, then boom with the away keeping it hush and releasing it weeks later, with the Prescott foundation on the front. Well done hull , first time in a long long time I'm going to buy both and I think alot of others will to

I was asked specifically why I didn't like the home shirt, I gave my thoughts on why in response to that question. having money go to the prescott foundation on the back of the away shirt sales is a great gesture but jesus it is just awful. What the hell where they thinking
I also gave my thoughts on what I believe is yet another aspect of why the club isn't professional/doing everything it can, there are so many lost opportunities that it saddens me. When the club don't even bother responding to a direct aspect regarding sales and/or quality of a product sold by the club to me as a supporter that's when you know things are just not right.

It might be boring to you and to others they think I'm a victor meldrew moaning type but when stuff isn't right I don't like to sit idly by and pat people on the back for doing a mediocre if not micturate poor job.

All these things add up to something, that something effects the club that i have supported since I was in short trousers and not in a good way. Yet the present regime fail to recognise the 'somethings' or if they do just don't do anything about it, pretty much the same as always. We are led to believe Pearson is doing everything to make us successful but if you do not address the small things then you ignore the fundamental reasons between success & failure.
A forum is for open discussion, when we do good things that's great I'll join in and give praise, but when things are obviously bang average or just wrong on a number of levels then why shouldn't I pipe up and voice an opinion as to why it isn't as rosy as people want to make out.
I'll still follow my club, I always have even from a distance over the last 25 years but I can't sit back and watch whilst people think they are doing a great job when they just aren't..but that's just me.

You make some good points but you do come across as a moaning get. I'm still really frustrated that FC live is so poor. We appear to be using 5 year old streaming technology which makes it a non starter for me. If they improved it I'd happily subscribe but as it is I don't. Plenty of other clubs have much better quality offerings

Re: Away Shirt : Mon Nov 24, 2014 10:12 pm  

Bought the mrs the away shirt today. will be buying the kids theres over the next couple of weeks but £38 for a six year olds shirt is fecking disgusting!

I don't get the problem, but I've not used others. I connect to tv via wireless and it seems OK to me. For the sheer number of games, academy, online programmes and other content it seems good value at £5 a month.

It might have improved but I had a free trial a while back and it was rubbish. Picture was fuzzy and regular buffering. I have plenty of bandwidth so it shouldn't be

Fair enough. It's limited camera angles certainly and no replays. But including academies you probably get around 30 odd first team games, academy matches, plus you save £39 on programmes. Buffering's not been an issue for me, other than fans forums when presumably there's a spike in demand. For £5 a month it's been good value to me.

If we won a few more games I would probably be more inclined
