Am I right in thinking that when the current crest was introduced, there was a choice of designs and a vote/opinion poll in the paper?

Does anyone have pictures of what the alternative designs were?

Somebody's asking for £90 for Man Utd and it's in the South. Maybe a case of buying and then try and sell to make a profit tout style. Are you sure that's not one of the tickets Viagogo gets to resell themselves? Haven't read the whole thread - apologies if this has been covered. So, all of those s...

I disagree with that. The problem is definitely creating chances. There is no cutting edge to our play, we rely almost entirely on a one-dimensional approach, which is percentage balls down the channels and then into the box. With the exception of a couple of games (Newcastle & Arsenal) we have...

I don't particularly like it, but most importantly for me it has hoops. And whilst I don't agree with the supposed problem of the hoops making the players names difficult to read (that was because the club decided to use black lettering), I suppose the broader hoops will accommodate the names only a...

If STAR have already or plan to pass on the results of their survey then that shows that there is at least a consensus between those who filled it in. Outside of that I think that people would probably need to email the club directly - hopefully some have already in response to this thread - for the...

Interesting article in the Hobnob archives about our proposed change form hoops to stripes back in 1995 along with a badge change and a letter from the club: http://www.royals.org/millwallbadge.html Good read - thanks. I'd be interested to see what the badge designs looked like but the images don't...

hoops all the way around, red numbers white shorts white socks with two blue hoops around them the original and best....do it and f11cking leave it alone Reading Marketing Don't we have to use the standard Football League numbering and lettering? (Like the black and gold) I think the Football Leagu...

I emailed the club, basically asking why the decision was made in the first place and if they had ever considered getting some feedback from the fans in response to possible designs. Apparently the plain panel was introduced due to fan feedback (so presumably it has been considered to an extent bef...

As a few people have said, I like the front of this year's shirt very much, but don't want to buy it with the plain back. Seeing as we've had hoops only once (I think) since 04/05, has anyone ever asked the club why? Or got an answer other than that its a league requirement, which it clearly isn't? ...

I really like the front - nice and simple rather then any gimmicks like the 'bib' a couple of years ago. But, as others have said, having no hoops ruins it a bit for me (and incidentally where I think they messed up the front with that bib it was the one time in ages that they'd managed hoops on the...

Just checked my email account and nothing to say they'd been any problems, so I gave TicketZone a quick ring and apparently they've taken the payment and everything is fine. Odd that my bank account isn't showing any form of payment or pending payment. All that matters is the tickets are bought thou...

Have people had the money taken from their accounts yet?

I have my confirmation email so presumably the system is just taking time to take payment, but sometimes my bank account will show that a payment is pending in the 'money available' but, which is isn't as yet.

Well, on the plus side, at least deadline day has seen something happen and given everyone something to talk about....even if that something is losing our best player. Today has been a bit of a non-event in the recent past.

Wonder when the club will stick its head above the parapet and announce this? Probably drafting a response to some of the justified anger the deal has created.

I don't mind the home kit - even the slightly uneven stripes. But, I think it might be one of those things that looks good at the time but in a few years i'll wonder how the designers could ever have thought it looked any good. Much like the the multi-coloured jigsaw goalkeeper kit from 95/96 ish wh...

Someone is going to Bristol City according to the Chronicle:
http://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/readingfc/articles/2010/07/07/47306-coppell-set-to-sign-reading-star--exclusive/

Assuming it is still going to be made by Puma, I hope we avoid the weird collar that they seem to be using on some shirts this season. I quite like it where they've made it into a proper collar though, as on the left, and I think even the weird collar would be better than the bib on this season's on...

The OS still don't seem to have announced this.

The second news story is still that people can get transfer news first by registering with the text service....that's worked.

I thought it was promising. There was a lack of end product and I think we need to bring in a striker but the possession and build-up play was good.
