If rfc had any sense they would show part of the keepers kit today and part of the away tomoro. But I doubt they will, and stick with revealing the home kit.

Thank god for this kit.

With the home kit being the easy option of my birthday present for the last 30 or so years, there's not much room left on the crap kit pile!

@sonkimarsson Such a shame there's no hoops whatsoever on the back! Surely they could have had the 1 or 2 bottom hoops continued round...would have been plenty of room for names and numbers imo. :x


It's not a hoop if it's not going around the back aswell is it?

What we have is stripes.

royalsroyalsroyals92 Also, why have we gone away from doing one shirt every 2 years? 1 each year is quite costly, although i spose as i couldnt afford a season ticket this year i do have some spare funds =/


The Puma contract is a different kit each year.

I haven't bought a RFC shirt for years, but I have to say I am seriously tempted by this effort........

Just hold on for 9 months and you'll be able to pick it up for a tenner before the next shirt is released...

Great from the front, but why oh why can't we just have hoops? I don't get it. Others do it, why not Reading?

^^ this.

And the back panel is not a rule we have to abide by. As you say, and as discussed last summer at length, others don't bother with the back panel (I think Sunderland were one example).

It's the shirts biggest let down every summer.

chilipepper91 The front is definitely one of the best kits I've seen us have. The back ruins everything about it.



This although i think it is much better than last seasons

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 back!).

The club seem very keen on Facebook at the moment, so perhaps once they actually officially release the photos that we've now all seen, the comments might allow them to quite obviously see people's views about lack of hoops. If HNA is anything to go by then people do want hoops and I suppose the Facebook site is a bit more of a direct forum where that view can be expressed to the club and perhaps have some influence in the future.

The size of the sponsor's name is a bit OTT though...

Valid point but that's being far too technical for my liking!! :wink:

I've only ever bought one kit, cos I kind of felt obliged to when we went into the premier league.

But this on I might actually buy on the merit that it's the best looking for years.

Well 'thanks for the money can we make your name a bit smaller?' isn't a great sell to Waitrose really.
