So much nicer and cleaner. A white vertical band just makes a kit look uglier in my opinion. I get that it perhaps makes us more unique etc. but I’m not that bothered about it. Kit manufacturers rarely, if ever get the band to look nice. Link to post Share on other sites

It is Boro Just personally, I'd rather have a nice clean looking kit over having the band just because it's apparently our identity. There's no doubt in my mind comparing the two ideas that having the band with the black text on the sponsor makes the kit look worse. The sponsor itself is doing a lot of the work admittedly and if we could have more control over what goes into that space then great. Or if we could just not have a shirt sponsor, great. But we definitely can't afford to throw away sponsorship opportunities just for a nicer looking kit, so the balance for me is in having a kit that the sponsor isn't making significantly worse.

LBP 3,035 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Now I've noticed how far over the badge is compared to the Errea logo I can't unsee it 🤢 The away kit better make up for this abomination Link to post Share on other sites

I like it - but you're going to incur the wrath of the White Chest Band Brigade! 😉 Also you could have found a different company logo... Link to post Share on other sites

Looks pretty retro (like 1960s or something) with that collar. Don't hate it but definitely don't like it enough to shell out for one. Like others I'm also annoyed the club have gone with another betting company. Link to post Share on other sites

Like a 36" chest wearing x XXXL. That said, it's super generic. Like an average of our most average kits. I reemmeber their XXXL like being a 36" in size as well on at least one shirt I've had before, some their kits were dead small fitting previousily Link to post Share on other sites

I wonder if the club are trying to embrace it as an identity a bit more Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) On the fence here. I think the sponsor makes it look a lot worse. I was hoping to see Massimo as well. I wonder if there is a 3rd kit, it would be related to the green one as Errea posted about that kit last month. Link to post Share on other sites
Weasel 966 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I actually can't get over how bad that kit is, probably the worst home kit we've had in a long time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,942 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Problem with the sponsor being one of the worst things about the kit is that the away is probably going to be hopeless too. Definitely feels like the Ramsden currency abomination year that adidas gave us 2 Link to post Share on other sites
