BigfinLatic Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Sorry to those who have said they like this strip....but the inclusion of yellow has no justification and no basis in anything to do with Latics. I don't think this is a real proposed shirt but indications that it would be acceptable could lead to something like it being put forward next season. Its tangerine matey! ... I really like it... but as you say, it aint real, so theres naff all chance of it happenin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonelylaticsfaninaus Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 This Is The New Kit Design For Next Season It Seems Abit Ruffled Round The Edges But Is Only An Artists Impressions I Guess This is bloody awful! WTF is the gold stripe all about? Get someone with taste to design it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 If you say so.... Even so our historic colours are blue and white! ACtually technically our historic colours are red and white stripes, from 1895 to 1907. Even then it is stripes. Historical kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contributed to that site . But that's like saying Manchester United are green and yellow, or Newcastle are red & white . The point is that for the overwhelming majority of our history it has been blue and white!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorrro Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 I quite like that mock up of the black and blue kit, although it'd look even nicer if it had the collar from the 'home' kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsChris Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 im not sure about how real the first one is, but i quite like the design, as long as the colour was a decent tangerine and not the slightly naff one that appears on the screen... As for the second one, im not a massive fan of black shirts (i see them more as a referee/goalkeeper shirt myself) but thats not a bad design at all, better than the black & grey effort from a few years ago!

sjk2008 Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 would expect any new shirt this season to follow this design (with different colours) It looks to me as though the bloke on the right has a backside that likes to suck up shorts........

PineVillain Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) id be happy with a new home kit as im not a fan of the current one, this design on here's not bad but not sure about the yellow band going on. it would look like cardiff were on our pitch!

Scapegoat Posted May 12, 2009 Share Posted May 12, 2009 Gold? Yellow? For me (and at least one other poster on this thread) it seems obvious that it supposed to be tangerine and not gold / yellow. The tangerine away kit was popular, and incorporating this into the home kit would not be a bad idea if it wasn't for the fact that we would scrap the idea in 2 years time. If we made a decision to make a change (sublte like a bit of tangerine) or major (the red and blue hoops) for our kit and stuck with it for the duration (i.e. forever or at least 10 years+) it might help give the club an identity. Intead we flip flop around. White shorts / blue shorts. White Socks / Blue Socks. All Blue / Blue with white bits/ Blue with red and white bits etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I, and several others, have said the solution is easy. Return to either a variation on that which we wore for the majority of the time since we came in the league in 1907 - the "thirds" broad stripes - or the 1958-60 shirts , blue body, white sleeves.

Have to disagree with the text in bold. Look at the Arsenal page on the historic web page linked earlier in this thread. Since the 30s with one exception they have had an idenity. In comparison we do not. Its predominantly blue, but that is about it. But we have had combinations of blue/white socks and blue/white shorts. White piping, red piping, combinations of the two etc. And there is just isn't an identity the same as other clubs have. Tangerine and Blue whilst a short perod of time, was a unique kit that could be 'our identity'. Predominantly blue, would maintain history and the limited 'identity' we have, but give us something unique. But we need to pick shorts / socks colours and stick to them. Get a basic design and stick to it - forever. Tanergine and blue is popular - as the last away kit proved - and could be altered slightly as Arsenal have every few years but still keep the basic premise. Otherwise, go for a blue one. But again. Pick a combination of shorts, socks and top colour and stick to them. I like the idea of a blue / tangerine (but with Blue the main colour) top, with white shors and blue socks.

For whatever reason you have largely misunderstood/misrepresented my post. How can you disagree with the bits in bold - i.e from 1907 until Bates we had a distinct "thirds" shirt (apart from a couple of years post-war)? . Not that different from the Arsenal distinction . Going back to that - and keeping to it with only slight variations , as you suggest - would be rooted in real history, not in the passing whim of a transient chairman who had no long term interest in the club. Tangerine would be great as a change strip - it was used in the 50s and 60s. But to have it as a core element of the club's first choice would be change for the sake of it.

Tommy_Fent Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I agree with others on here I'd like it if it was Tangerine rather than Gold, when I've been to Piccadilly station after a home game when I've had my Blue and Tangerine scarf people know which team I support, I say more Blue and Tangerine less of the same colours as everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
