purestate Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Imo this years Home is a considerable improvement on the overly fussy bands on top last year. I actually like the collar which gives a more subtle coverage of the claret on Amber. The horizontal stripes on band are a nice touch and 1886 is also subtle enough. Wouldn't have minded seeing Amber shorts with dark socks (which I like) but maybe white does work with flow of light, lighter, dark from top to socks The Away on the other hand is a good idea badly executed. Far too mmany Amber flashes on both top and shorts with collar being complete mistake. Roma mock ups show what a more classy look could have been. Each to own though as 11 yo son loves away and not fussed on Home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was unbadged as it was a temporary ‘in-house produced’ kit due to a dispute with their previous supplier. Macron have a habit of making kits that are a little bit fussy with odd shaped collars being one of their trademarks. Even on this Roma top they couldn’t resist adding that amber extension to what is essentially a simple winged collar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted June 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 I much preferred the 2013/14 away collar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The African Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 How good are unbranded strips? I appreciate that the branding and sponsors logo are money we are in no position to pass by, but the simplicity and style of that Roma away shirt is brilliant.

Kmcalpin Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Moving away from purist issues like collars can anyone confirm if the claret band on the home shirt goes all the way round? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was unbranded, however, it was manufactured by Macron so the quality was fine. They basically helped them out when they were between contracts.

underboyleheating Posted June 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Garment transfer remover spray. If anyone fancies having a go with this stuff, let me know how it goes. Allegedly kills all betting dot com sponsors stone dead. I recommend that you try it on an old shirt first to see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club and PSL use this quite often, it will leave a sticky residue in the shape of the sponsor and it removes the colour from sublimated shirts. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone buying a new shirt. Fine for removing initials from training gear though.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 If people don't like the sponsor then don't buy the shirt. If enough people don't like it the club will get the message. Personally, I have no issues with online casinos (assuming they are legit) but understand why some people find it less than ideal. Plenty of other nice gear in the shop that is sponsor free and still helps support the club. And in my case is more age appropriate! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one plus point about having a betting dot com sponsor is that the kids shirts will be sponsor free. I’m not sure of the percentage, however, online betting companies are becoming more prevalent in shirt sponsorship. I’m unsure how Hearts managed to avoid it as the big sides usually get lured in by the money on offer. In the premier league alone we have dafabet, 32 Red, Marathon Bet and Bet Park. There is probably more, however, off the top of my head that’s all I can think of. Also lets not forget that the English Football League are sponsored by SkyBet.

underboyleheating Posted June 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 The new RC Lens shirt would have made for a real nice white away top. I’ve altered the colours slightly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may just be a little thing, but I am sure it would make your child’s day. Hopefully something can still be arranged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
