New Away Kit Vote

[vikingTON]

All the horrendous talks and that of getting another supplier is over reactionary nonsense. They all look decent enough 

 

You need your eyes tested.

 

Ditch the shan two-tone yellow for yellow and blue hoops and we have a winner. The rest are gubbins. 

[The Bewilderedbeast]

Not a huge fan of any of them but also wouldn't mind the team wearing any of them next season either. I don't wear football tops so im not going to purchase whatever one is picked.

Yellow would probably look better on the players in a full strip than sitting on a mannequin so I'd choose that one if forced.

Same here

[Mr.Blue]

Looks like I'm in a minority of one with the black and sky blue one then, aye?

I like the yellow one and the sky blue and black. Both crackers although I'd prefer a different collar.

Going by the original submission of the yellow one, seems vision want these collars and changed it.

I would most likely go for that one.

[Stevie Aitken's Love Child]

Go yellow or go home.

The idea with the yellow shirt was to have the ‘hoop’ effect finer, made with alternating weaves of the same shade, more of a texture than anything else. The manufacturer uses a material exactly like I was angling for in their kits for Bristol City, which we looked at when we got together at the factory. The black one with the electric blue sponsor and trim was a concept I showed to illustrate the idea of changing the millions logo to suit the kit rather than using the standard yellow. I had either plain v-necks or polo style collars on the design concepts, though Vision did say they were likely to opt for something else with a rib as they feel they look a little more modern and have a better quality feel.

 

Today is the first i’ve seen them since we got together to discuss the original concepts.

They’re both shite though.

[Scapaflow]

The Blue and Black one (2nd one from left )  would be nicer in reverse  sky blue with black trim

That's a good shout but might be too similar to the home top ?

Did you design both of these Pedro? I really like the the black and sky blue concept and the yellow one.

Didn't buy the current home top as it's shite but did the previous one and the tartan away top. Worst part of both is the horrible material of the collar.

[Pedrodelawasp]

I offered up the ideas, which have then been adapted/interpreted by Vision. I’m not privy to the decisions that have been taken in the time between the chat over the concepts and the manufacturing/prototyping. The collar changes are the biggest difference, whilst the black and blue one has taken elements from two ideas and combined them.

[Ray Von]

Didn't buy the current home top as it's s***e but did the previous one and the tartan away top. Worst part of both is the horrible material of the collar.

The current home top’s a cracker.

[Clydeview]

Not a great choice there! Yellow one looks the best by a distance, but the collar should be changed.

[irnbru]

I'd never have known Pedro designed tops but there you go.

 

Anyway, get the yellow one two solid colours and a bit more retro looking and you've got the best away top we've had.

[TONofmemories]

Can u share your original designs/concepts?

[capitanus]

Now I realise the yellow one has two colours of yellow I rescind my support for it. The pink one by far.

Pinko lefty commy fag.

[Pedrodelawasp]

I’m sure there will be some tweaks and finessing with whichever kit is selected. Interesting that it’s being spoken about as the 19-20 kit, maybe this means a change from the model of using the kits for 2 years and introducing new home/away in alternate seasons.

[capitanus]

Yellow is the only acceptable one, although the badge should be kept normal and not yellow.

This. I'm not in favour of things like colours on the club badge being altered for any reason. In fact, I would go as far as saying that any employee who suggests such a thing should be dismissed with immediate effect.

 

Also, pink shirts - no. There was a few good 'salmon pink' Scotland shirts in the 1990s but other than that, it should never be considered a colour suitable for football. These horrible fluorescent 'highlighter pen' pink shirts are painful on the eye and an affront to grown men paying to watch football.

 

The yellow shirt would perhaps be nice with blue sleeves rather than the blue band across the chest. Also the second black shirt would be a great shirt with yellow sleeves, like a Dortmund away shirt.

 

Another thing I think we should bin in the 'est1874' branding and get a proper kit manufacturer, I think we should perhaps look to a German manufacturer like Uhlsport or to Macron who produce some decent Football shirts, but overall - tastes permitting - were not too far away.
