Our new shirt

oh dear! :no:

the yellow is definitely too light. in the daylight yesterday it looked a lot different to that. you could barely make out the stripes.

they've definitely tweaked it a lot from design G.

hats off to the lady for walking around the ground and modelling it 'cause i sure as sh!t wouldnt have done that, because that would have meant wearing the thing.

Love it..... the shirt, not the lady..... though I am sure she is a wonderful lass.

I saw her wearing it yesterday, and I thought it looked like a proper football shirt compared to some of the hideous things we have been forced to wear over the years.

I can't wait for them to be on sale, I will have one and wear it proudly around town in the sea of gloryhunters that infest our town.

I like it too and shall be wearing it around the environs of Derbyshire/South Yorkshire on a regular basis. Hate the club crest though, black and boring.

Looks like something pulled straight from the 80's what happened to the collar? that was the one thing i liked about it.

Sooner we get back to a modern looking, mostly yellow with a tad of blue the better.

That shirt

I was excited about the collar. Yellow's a bit light. Overall a bit non-plussed.

Might still buy as I haven't bought a home shirt for 10 years.

Yeah, I quite liked the collar as well....Bloody modernists....

Looks wiked to me! Yellow could be a little darker but other than that - well happy!

In the sunlight yesterday you could barely make out those stripes looked worse than that awful Newcastle away strip from a couple of years ago, Yellow needs to be a lot darker.

As for the collar if you look back a few pages I said the players would have some say in the final design, and look at the response I got.

Not sure we can call ourselves Yellow Army with this shirt. I thought, originally, it looked quite nice. I liked the collar but that seems to have been omitted from the final design. Also, as others have said, the yellow needs to be a lot deeper. It's too "washed out" Yesterday, from a distance, it looked white. Had no colour in it at all.

Primrose Army ?

But it's not to late to change the shade of Yellow, darken it, stays like it is I will be saving myself some money it really looked awful yesterday.

I'm not, actually sure, that we will be able to sing, all the time that we have this shirt. Our only two "Songs" are Yellow Army. & Come 0n You Yellows.
