To be fair daz we've never had the same strip more than a couple of years running since forever - back when I were a lad we had a new strip each year

The new home one is growing on me
Never gonna like the alternate

now we await lots of purple merchandise rather than claret and gold, looking on the virtual terrace at some of catalans' stuff, it's levels above the kind of merhcandise we have!

We hada purple shirt a few seasons ago.

It weas incredibly popular.

Unlike most of the boring, middle aged , conservatively minded, male posters on here it will probably be very popular with Kids and Women.

So if it sells it will have done its job.

I have no problem with it.

The C & G one looks a bit different but it is the right colours and has a slighlty modern take on it with the colours merging .
I am happy with that one as well.

No doubt the club will read the bitching on here then order too few shirts then those bitching about the shirt will be able to bitch about the fact there are not enough shirts left that they were bitching about in the first place.

I think we need to look at the make up of the crowd! No one group polarises the others women, men, old, young, family's, mates. Trying to appease all groups of fans with two shirts would be difficult. Proof will be in the sales and what we see in the stadium! Has been mentioned how ghastly the grey paintball shirt was, yet I saw many fans wearing them!

For me the home one is certainly a grower and will certainly be getting one while the away is a tad generic. Saying that I think we have been spoilt the last few years the home shirt has got a lot better with last been the best in a long time retro with a twist and the away shirts have been outlandish alternatives that seem to have been great sellers.

Last shirt i bought was the paintball one, loved it!

Re: New shirt : Sun Nov 09, 2014 3:04 pm  

Exactly brearly I have bought that shirt too as did many others but others Hated it! Like I said you have two shirts to try to create something that will sell to everyone and maximise sales! Can't please everyone

To be fair it's not as bad as I first thought the more I see of it. Still not the biggest fan though

Re: New shirt : Fri Nov 21, 2014 9:31 pm  

ooooh new merchandise at the shop.... nice coat/jacket/hoody etc for the winter i was thinking.....

not quite......





forgive me for being cynical, but surely the idea of club merchandise is usually so people can wear items in the street and/or at games.
i know these are just 2 items, along with a christmas jumper and a christmas mug, but where is the stuff everyday people can wear in everyday situations?
