Simpo Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 The odd one doesn't. It's written into Wimbledon's fans' charter that every kit lasts at least 2 years, for example. When ours started lasting one year, is when I stopped getting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy them for myself and haven't done for 20 odd years, but as a parent my daughter wants a new kit as soon as they come out and a couple of new kits every 12 months is a bit of a kick in the bollocks. Every club do it now. Part of contracts that the suppliers insist on apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Also we usually change our shirt sponsor every twelve months so decent excuse might aswell change the kit ? Personally, I find grown men wearing replica shirts, for anything other than the playing of sport, highly embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be 20 quid a kit if they insist on changing every twelve months. Fuck em I'm not buying one, she'll get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 90/91 shirt started with Bovis on it, then they put JD Sports on the same shirt the following season or was it the season after that? Didn't we have that home shirt for three seasons?

Bovis and JD - after a couple of months with nothing - on the all blue with arm patch, followed by JD on the blue shirt/socks and white shorts for the next two....!

Markspark92 Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I would like a retro kit this year similar to the old JW Lees sponsored kit with the whit panel across the front and maybe for the away tangerine with blue panel across the front something like this will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristolatic Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I say this every season, but I doubt it will ever happen. The TRUE Latics kit is the white with blue centre panel and sleeves. Looked good in the 50s and before, even better with blue shorts. We look too much like any other club that plays in blue and have for a bloody long time.

tGWB Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Football Shirts with a collar are awful !! Home Shirt MUST be Blue & White Away Shirt for me would be preferably White & Blue (as is) or if not, Tangerine can be the only other option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
