New Kit - Rate the kit POLL ADDED

[loyalroyal4life]

looking more forward to the new away kit, supposed to be green isn't it?

hope not

So what happened to the gentlemens agreement though? (it wasn't just Reading, but was cast accross the majority of league teams)

It was part of the customers charter and was removed from the charter at Reading about 5 years ago from memory.

And hoops, not holding my breath for either though.

Isn't there a FL regulation that says that the shirt numbers must be on a plain background? Therefore, little likelihood of complete hoops. I share your sentiments though.

I thought that was a Premier League stipulation.

I believe you are correct, However any shirt without a plain back will be mocked by the fans as the club not expecting promotion or that they plan to fleece us next season when we are promoted.

Seriously though, I would like to see proper hoops a colar and nothing but blue and white.... forget dashes of gold or outlined red, it has to be blue and white.

Any news on a shirt sponsor?

QPR have hoops all the way round.


What i don't understand is why we are having another new kit. I was under the impression you were only allowed to change kits once every two years?

There are no rules, in fact some teams change kit during the season - Newcastle in recent times having worn next seasons kit for the final few games of the prior season.

I think you have to keep you nominated colours all season though, so changing away kit from red to yellow for example mid season would require approval from the FA but changing from a red to red shirt wouldn't.

Reading did state that the intent was for designs to last 2 seasons unless sponsors changed, However Reading have historically released new kits as often as possible so expect one every season. My advice is only buy a shirt if you like it and can afford it, Your not compelled to buy one as it doesn't make you a better fan.... in fact if your wearing a shirt, then a new shirt makes you look like a newbie. So instead wear an old one, preferably from a time when we were crap.

I like this advice. It is rather wise.

That would be very nice, good effort.

[Archie's penalty]

Why are they changing the kit again? What's the pucking foint? Will people actually buy the new one in the middle of a recession?!?

Discussed ad nauseum here.

[Archie's penalty]

Yep just noticed that. And was far too bored to read all of the thread. Ho hum Sunday afternoons

[Rawlie19]

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah recession?!?

Don't buy one then. I'm sure the club will be very upset.

Just cos you want the full hoops back

Fwiw I bought my first kit for 11 years last year. I really like last year's kit I think it's a shame to change.

Everyone knows recessions are for not being able to pay council tax, water, gas and electricity bills. They have nothing to do with not paying for Sky and getting the latest club shirts.

Because this is the new era! I will buy one and treasure it after we get promoted in it.

Have you not heard? We only keep our home shirts for one season now.

Good job we're going up next May then.

Scarlett Johansson and Penelope Cruz.

[reading fc rock leroylero]

That is really nice. Probably the nicest Reading shirt i've seen. Send it to the club.
