There could be a lot worse sponsors names on the shirt ...
I'm not knocking the sponsor I'm saying the logo looks shocking on the shirt.

Im not to fussed about the orange, i dont actually mind it but the big white thing just looks like its been stuck on after the kit was designed. I dont usually get excited by new kits as i prefer to wear the polos or training gear but once its been played in a few times we will just get used to it.

Lets just hope the away kit isn't all black with the big white thing stuck on front.
CLASSY CAS FOREVER

Well it’s the same supplier we’ve had since 2015 so I’m guessing they will be silk and not cotton .

Cheap polyester I think you'll find.
The club needs to listen to its customers. Get back to traditional colours and some decent quality.

The material is yes 100% polyester however the new tops are technical training wear, cotton doesn't wick moisture you will find the most technical top are made from at least 60% polyester unless you want to pay a fortune and go for something made from the likes of Merino.

Hopefully the leisure wear will have some cotton polo's your looking for.

Personal opinion is that the gear looks alot better quality and visually this year.

It's exactly the same suppliers. Designs might be better quality will be exactly the same. My old isc polos are in better condition then the recent stuff I've purchased .

The training wear is the same material as they are made from the "performance" material that they have always used, they are training tops after all.

The club have however taken on-board feedback regarding leisurewear and not having solely training merchandise and there are a range of t-shirts, polo shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies in store.

For those looking for an amber shirt, fingers crossed 1 of the 3 will give you what you want... the aim of the club has got to be to appeal to everyone by producing a variety of shirts, one of which ticks the box for everyone. It's a bit dramatic to react after one shirt has been released, shouldn't be too long until we see the other designs (judging by previous years!).

a large part of our fan base is the older supporters they do not buy the silk flashy colours ignoring these is a big mistake the club should cater for the full age range i won £10 voucher came out with a door mat

How many of the overweight wrecks you see wearing this stuff need technical moisture wicking apparel?
They squeeze themselves into it once a week to stand on the terraces eating greasy burgers and swilling low quality lager.

As stated in my previous post, the club have leisurewear in store, they are not silky and are certainly not flashy colours. Hopefully there will be something there to appeal to you.

This is precisely the feedback provided to the club and they have already acted on it, I’m hopeful there will be more to come.
