Next seasons kit choice?

[Spirit of Elm Park]

So, in summary, surely its the same, but with a different neck, a different shoulder patch, a different badge location and by the looks of it a different layout of the first hoop compared to the shoulder patch.

So apart from not being the same as that shirt, its the same?

My overiding fear is that the hoop we can see, could be the only hoop.

The first blue hoop has Waitrose written on, and tbh it looks like quite a wide hoop, giving the impression you could only actually fit 1 or 2 more hoops on it, so you could be right!

Scared now.

That's a valid point. If you look at the spacing above the 'Waitrose' you'd expect that to be the same spacing below the sponsor name too. Therefore not leaving much space below for any additional blue hoops. Would certainly indicate that the hoops have a lot more depth to them this coming season.

Glad we've got a stitched badge, none of that iron-on rubbish a lot of clubs are getting. Holding out judgement until the morning...

[stickywhisky]

I really can't see it being a full hoop either, more like 2 blue rectangles!
Other than that very nice!

Give me a sec guys, I'll whip a template up, seems to be a mix of most of their templates, not just using one.

Our badge looks awful on our shirts when its stitched,

Nike manage to be able to replicate logos pretty well, Puma make it look a bit of a mess.


BTW: @Royalzilla, Nike clubs don't have ironed on badges like they are shown in the kit releases, only the player issue jerseys have them (its to make them more streamlined, they're also tighter and have perforations)

Quality of the badges on the shirts are much higher.

[Whore Jackie]

Badge in white hoop
Waitrose in blue hoop
White hoop
Blue hoop
White hoop

Would be my bet.

With the V neck and red shoulder patch I think the Watford shirt is the closest template for the shirt.

[Spirit of Elm Park]

I'm reviewing my opinion, I thought it was a bad kit, I now believe it to be the worst kit in my entire supporting career, and that includes the red arrow kit and the TV interference kit.

Given the positioning of the sponsors logo, I cannot see how there would be room for any other hoops. Blue sleeves complete the misery, and even if the solitary hoop circles the shirt, I can't see how it matches up with STARs claim that hoop lovers will like it.

SOOOOOOOOO hoping to be proved wrong on this. This could potentially be the meltdown we have all waited for.


Did I mention the red shoulder? *vomit emoticon*

Had a few Qs... just to say that's not the only hoop on the home shirt #readingfc #RFCKit2012

Waitrose in blue hoop

Blue hoop

Would be my bet.

The 'Badge hoop' extends to the shoulder....I think your pattern would be for an RFC 'nightie' or whatever the young ladies call them these days.

[Blakey's Right Peg]

Really not keen on that red. This one looks like it's going to be a massive disappointment.

2 fat hoops then.

Hoop fail.

[JayRoyal]

Judging by pic, the sponsor is quite high up on the shirt, very high :S



Having the badge in the middle looks much better than on the right, cause of the height of the puma logo, theres a lot of empty space that side.

Would appear so. The flash of red is a little nod to Anton's motherland Russia obviously
Jury out for me until I see the whole kit.

Nicely done.

And there we have it! Great work there..

I'm more hopeful seeing that, but I still think the positioning of the logo makes that blue hoop bigger than you portray it. Again, hoping to be wrong.

Still a dissapointing attempt at a kit.

That is a very nice looking kit!

Its up there in the class of the new Arsenal Kit.
