Hoop Blah
FORSTERS_RIGHT_FOOT Kit design is not the clubs choice, it's a template given by the kit manufacturer and then colours added into the right places.


Rubbish, the club will have the final say on which design they opt for even if that's a limited choice given to them by the manufacturers templates.

If the club don't like the options then they shouldn't sign with the manufacturer.


Damn right, who is the client here?

Not bothered about the width of the hoops, nor whether they complete at the back, but get rid of those oxf*rd blue shorts. Whenever we have a kit with those, we look more like a oxf*rd rugby league team.

WHITE SHORTS

It seems QPR always get the league's nod/preference for white shorts and resign us to blue whenever we are in the same league. Why?

I don't think white shorts are rationed.

We could have white shorts if the club wanted.

The shorts haven't been predominantly white.

In fact, I just did a quick tot up. Out of 67 kits there, 23 have white shorts versus 44 blue. So we'd have to have worn white shorts every year since 1990 for us to have had a historically even split.

Basically, it doesn't really matter. We've chopped and changed the kit in the past, it's not something codified or even particularly traditional aside from the general 'Blue & White Hoops' (which has been famously ignored, and was - for some time - stripes).

I think we all just want it to look our version of aesthetically pleasing, or to hark back to our early days of watching the club. Hence I want to see the Auto Trader kit designs come back (especially the away ones).

That being said, I do actually prefer white shorts myself.

Quite like that. Is that thick green hoops or thin white hoops?

Hoops all the way around, no back panel:



Same, but this beauty needs to make a comeback. It's still my favourite:



That was the Brooks shirt pre patch wasn't it? :lol:

Yes either of those would be fine.
