bradowl Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Looks great, as for white on back I know some don't like it but it makes it easier to see numbers. I found it impossible last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheExile Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Don’t mind it. Better than last seasons as a whole with the black shorts but not a patch on a classic the year before. As Hoyland says the white patch on the back is a bit of a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tewksbury Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 There's a lot of stuff on various social media about the Asian sellers with the England shirts. Nike have come out and said they've lost £6.5m due to people spending £2m on knockoff shirts, but there's a lot of pushback with people saying that they've lost very little as those buyers were never going to buy one anyway and would have got one of the 'fan' shirts that get put out, if anything.

Lee Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 1 hour ago, HoylandOwl said: Fantastic as has been said to have behind the scenes staff promote, the Wawaw is also a nice touch. As for the shirt, initially I was a bit meh about it but it's growing on me, it has a vintage look about it, the black shorts and socks brings it together I feel. It will look great next spring celebrating promotion UTO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fall into that category.

I fall into the buy official in adult sizes, they last a while and sort of hold their value but there'd no way I'm paying that for a young child's kit that they'll wear and/or destroy after 5 minutes. My youngest has about a half dozen kits from there, no particular team, she just picks ones that she likes the look of, that we use for pajamas or knocking about in the house/garden, things that I'd never let her do in a £50 shirt.

Beaconowl Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 13 hours ago, Alan Finney said: I was with @LiamOwl previously as I thought the blue looked too light. I'd prefer the stripes to be a bit more equal in width although I can live with that. Not sure about the colour though now, on some pics it looks more like what it should be. The blue in this photo looks much better than the previous one put up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted June 24 Author Share Posted June 24 Seen a few pics knocking about on social media today, the blue is more like the colour we're used to (like those in the linked pics above) rather than looking like a narrowly striped Huddersfield shirt.

Bellsview Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 It’s growing on me as well now, after initially not really liking it. And if we win lots of games wearing it I’ll love it, just as I will think it’s a shile of pite if we lose a lot wearing it. Not sure I’ll be spending £69 on it, but good income for the club from those who do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 Don't forget though, for those who criticise DC for not putting his money into the club... Remember, he can't just put it in. I DO think it's too expensive, it shouldn't be no more than £50 I'd say.. Will I get one? Maybe. It's a bit of a tradition of me and the lad having them to wear to games. But I understand those who can't / won't get it due to costs. BUT... Getting a 'hooky' special Wednesday shirt from the Far East or wherever and not the club..... The club aren't making the money from shirt sales, which affects the balance sheet and transfer budgets etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelters Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I don’t mind £69 for an adult shirt, it’s the kids shirt prices that rankle a bit. I’m sure if they did some family deals - say £100 for adult and child for example - it would go down really well. Make it for members and ST holders and you might even make some money out of it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheExile Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I think it should be no more than 50 quid too, although even at that price people would still buy the fakes so the plan seems to be to make up for that from those that do buy a genuine one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
