Jamesino_LCFC Posted 5 June 2006 Share Posted 5 June 2006 Riceys alternative design looks so much better, the club/jjb have cocked up big time! Your possible the 1,000,000th person to have said that on here. Can anyone confirm for me that the Alliance and Leicester bit on the new kit wont look mega-tacky like it does at the moment when it officially gets brought out?

Can anyone confirm for me that the Alliance and Leicester bit on the new kit wont look mega-tacky like it does at the moment when it officially gets brought out? Face facts, it will look tacky. The club aren't going to publicise and launch the new kit if it's not 100% ready and complete. They ain't that stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know as much as you know. Well about the kit anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuliasz Posted 5 June 2006 Share Posted 5 June 2006 Think this might be the first time in my history as a supporter I don't get the kit. Whilst the design is *ok* at best, the whole issue with the tacked on sponsor makes it look horrid. The last two shirts are far superior in my opinion and I think I'll stick to them.

Ricey Posted 5 June 2006 Share Posted 5 June 2006 Ben Swift, the Retail Manager, should be ringing me tomorrow to answer some of the questions asked in this thread such as the tacky AL logo and the pin-stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 6 June 2006 Share Posted 6 June 2006 I'm going to try and get hold of the v neck one, could be worth a few quid in the future. Much prefer the v neck, very old skool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted 6 June 2006 Share Posted 6 June 2006 I've just spoken to Ben Swift on the phone and here are the points he made: - The Alliance and Leicester logo is a new state of the art matieral that all the big clubs have been using for a number of years, it is a quality transfer that won't drop off in the wash. Another reason that the old style lettering wasn't used was because it would of either meant the pinstripes running behind the logo or special matieral being used with breaks in the pin-stripes which would of caused possible double or triple the amount of wastage which would of been costly. - The pics on the OS are not of the final version of the kit, the background colour on the transfer has been altered further to match the shirt colour. Ben is hoping that it will look a lot better in final production. - There are the same amount of pin-stripes on the shirt as there were on the graphic, they are just spread out more. The club tried having the pinstripes looking like they did in the 80's however according to Ben they didn't look right and looked too retro. - The shorts shown in the pictures are again not the final versions, on some pictures the backs of the shorts hang lower than the front like a cape however Ben told me this was a comical mistake and they won't look like this when they go on sale.

Number 6 Posted 13 June 2006 Share Posted 13 June 2006 So what are the reasons they give? And Number 6 why aren't you renewing then? uni coming up this year, should be off to warwick and i wont have the money to be able to travel down every week, (it's not the fact that paying to watch crap football annoys me) not sure it's going to be all that good a season actually, am slightly worried as to what kelly will do with our money, i kno he has bought in a free but i still don't see why we need another CB. I hope he'll prove me wrong but i think we will be in mid-table medicracy if we're lucky next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
