Next seasons away kit

[Harry Carry]

Is going to be black again. Spoke to Rony Grant this morning.

Has the club come out yet and stated there will be a change of all kits (AGAIN) or will it be the usual expected hush hush job revealed at the last minute and hacking supporters off even more?

[SpaceCruiser]

Whatever Harry says today of all days, I won't believe him.

[Harry Carry]

New Home and Away kits next season. Orange will become third strip.

[Silver Fox]

Definite new home kit as the OS says if you renew your ST now you get 10% off the 09/10 kit

[Compo's Hat]

Yep and it will be proper hoops from what i've heard.

[Harry Carry]

Will they have additonal sponsors on the back of the shirts as you can in the Championship?

[Hugo Boss]

I'd love to see us follow England's lead and go proper old skool with the kit. Would love to see a 50's style, plain as possible polo type shirt.

[Sun Tzu]

Oh, scandal !

The QPR shirt clearly has a blue 'hoop' that doesn't go right round the shirt !

Shock horror, sold out their heritage etc etc

Nicked our shirts (again !!)

So yet again the club are going to totally fail to keep to a 2 year turnaround on kits. OK I know that their commitment is to endeavour to have a 2 year turnaround but you'd think every now and then they'd actually manage it wouldn't you!

What's the reason for the kit change this time and why can't it be managed better? As uaual other clubs will have their kits announced by now and most likely available in the close season whereas we'll find out at the last minute and be told that a few replicas will be available in time for the start of the season if you pre-order, otherwise you'll have to wait to September or October etc.

I've never known a club like Reading to be so rubbish at getting new shirts out in time for the new season. IMO they should come out end of May start of June. As you say, it won't be out till weeks after the new season kicks off. Reason why? Inept people working at the club.

Their marketing is woeful. If you didn't pass the Mad Stad you wouldn't even know the town had a football team.

Both home and away kits are a tenner in Sports Soccer or whatever its called in Newbury so presumably both are indeed getting changed

Agreed that Reading are pretty useless with getting shirts out. Doesnt bother me really, but it does make us look a bit stupid when everyone else can

I would be extremely surprised if anyone praised the club when it comes to the availability of replica kit. Then again, for a club of our size and alleged ambition, the quality and range of merchandise available is absolutely shocking. There is not even the s*indon down toilet roll!

That's a daft statement even for you Kesworth

No club shop in the town Centre for starters.................

We had one. Is it such a necessity?

[Harry Carry]

I would say so. Wouldn't be a problem if the club were based nearer the Town centre.

If you go to NY, there are Knicks, Rangers, Yankees, Giants etc posters/billboards up everywhere.

[Silver Fox]

There are 3 Mets and 3 Yankees shops in Manhattan, not seen one for any of the other pro clubs

However, I'm not entirely sure what your point is

Reading are a small time club with small time ideas.
