Fingers crossed for away kit ay? I'll be looking forward to this launch with a mixture of trepidation and excitement! Not seen the away shirt but the shorts will take a while to get used to.

The most annoying thing now is that neither the club nor the PP have come out and clarified either way. Its just gives way to more speculation and negativity, form both sides of the fence. Its like the joke/prank you made but has gone on so long that's its no longer funny and now just far too awkward. It probably is annoying for some but then it's still being talked about isn't it? The official site is probably getting more hits now than it has for weeks meaning more exposure for it's other sponsors too. I bet about 10-20% of Town fans knew about the kit launch on the 17th July but now I'd guess around 80-90% of us will know that you can buy a new shirt on Saturday 20th. How many eyes will be looking at the megastore come the weekend? How many people will go and see it for real? Those numbers will have shot up compared to the volumes of people that were interested in it a few days ago. its certainly moved the moaners and gloom merchants off the not spending a fortune tack having already missed the fact that the 4 biggest 'signings' were not incomers but players already here, they can now miss the fact that the club seems to be giving off a great deal more optimism than we saw before the last season started. give em something to concentrate their 'displeasure and glass half empty' minds on? at least those that always hate the new shirt have a tangible reason not to buy it.. they can then move onto berating those that are not precious about the shirt who do buy it(if its real )....if it is and we sell more than ever they will be apoplectic in their rage of the loss of heritage and 'class'... I have not bought a shirt for years after the kids grew up.. over priced and under stitched imo..

Obviously you're entitled to your opinion. I share it to a degree . The bookies resistance to lowering the FOBT limit was utterly utterly shameful. But I can't remember the moral outrage when our stadium was renamed "the John Smiths Stadium " Alcohol .. the legal drug and maybe the most pernicious ? The one which has caused more sorrow and despair, death , domestic violence, loss of job and income etc etc than maybe any other? That's one example .. If you unpick other sponsors you could argue a "moral" case... Central Garages and Diahatsu promoting driving about in cars polluting the atmosphere . Panasonic encouraging our kids to sit in front of the goggle box all day . Where does the outrage end ? "Utterly morally shameful" Give over.. The bookies developed fobts to make money.. That is the point of a business.. Enough people squealed about them and the govt Caved in.. Does the govt say to greggs.. Only one sausage roll per customer per day- they make you fat and die early?? Thousands of betting shop staff will lose their jobs now because of this.. Those degenerate gamblers will still find a way to lose their money online or in the casinos so nothing has been solved.. Classic case of the tiny minority spoiling things for the majority. đ¤ FOBTS where you can blow 100 pound a time are morally bereft imo.. But that's my opinion . Every one will have their own . And it seems that for some reason gambling is less ethical than all the other businesses that have put their names on our shirt .. barring YAA and Kirklees college I'm not having that .. But it's all about opinions

You donât let some shit betting company make the club a laughing stock for 500k. The club have in my opinion opened up the fans and club to piss take. This is not classy it is embarrassing.
I have people here at work laughing at how bad it is... they are not laughing at what some believe is a joke or stunt. They are laughing at us.
This will affect players too.

They were pissing themselves before I joined the conversation, I then played it down as I know better than to give people ammunition. You are therefore wrong in this instance.

Leave the site, send back your season card and never cross the clubs threshold again if you feel so strongly about it. I was very dissapointed in the team and the tactics last season, never a word about not going, not supporting or just picking for the sake of it. Last season like this shirt will fade into memory along with all the other 'remembered' shirts and seasons, the absolutely nothing 'shirts and seasons' are not remembered. I follow Town and prefer to have seasons that are remembered rather than nothing to speak of at all and we have already in my lifetime had fucking shedloads of them but I cannot remember how many?

ITS NOT FUNNY ANY MORE! Its also completely ruined the kit launch which is very important for some people, particularly kids. Also an unwelcome distraction from an important pre-season game, not sure how Jan and the team managed to keep the players focused despite asking them to play a central part in a silly joke and making them wear a joke kit. Talk about down to earth with a bump, our players have gone from playing the likes of Man Utd week in week out on the world stage to playing Rochdale away dressed up in a joke kit for money. If our premier league quality players didnt want to move on previously they may now have had a change of heart. Tin pot and unprofessional, the sort of stunt I'd have expected from Town in the Keith Longbottom days not just after trousering ÂŁ300M of premier league money. I expect the powers that be will be keen to dish out a fine and who could blame them. This joke went too far the moment the first team wore it in a fixture and the real kit wasn't announced on the day it was supposed to be. FOOK MY LIFE ITS NOT A JOKE ITS GENUINE HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO UNDERSTAND đ¤Żđ¤Żđ¤Żđ¤Żđ¤Żđ¤Żđ¤Ż
Oh dear, oh dear, Did you know that rubbing Radion B onto your cock makes it bigger ?

Does it work with the free lozenges that they give out before the game?

Has anyone actually measured the logo, I mean itâs not THAT much bigger than the area the elements of the Leicester City kit take up is it, and Iâd be surprised if thatâs the biggest sponsor logo in England (notwithstanding Towns!), I only picked it as an example cos it sprung to mind as having the word âpowerâ in it...

Fook me sideways diagonally, that's atrocious.
I've never been so embarrassed to be a town fan. Not after the Old Trafford scrapping, not even during last season.
It seems the FL aren't too keen either. Hope they force a change in design even though that'll obviously cost the club money.

Middlesbrough had one a couple of years ago (Ramsdens currency) that to me would break the 250sq cm limit. I see 250sq as 25cm x 10cm, that is certainly wider than 25cm, and taller than 10cm. I suppose it depends what counts as the logo and what doesn't. If they place lettering into a white box, could you class the white box as part of the kit or part of the sponsor. Do you measure each letter individually and see what that letter takes up.

Iâm with drumriggend ... THIS IS THE GENUINE KIT THAT TOWN EXPECT TO PLAY IN THIS SEASON.... Kachunga said: "It's a new shirt and we've had our first win in it, so it's not that bad. It's just a new sponsor, a new shirt, and we just have to have the performance on the pitch and it doesn't matter what's on the shirt." Yes, there are minor differences to the launch pictures, but youâd expect that, those pictures would have been made up some time ago from early samples...the manufacturing process would have introduced minor changes to the final product, as you can see if you look at previous years kits where the kits arenât the same because of such as different sizes for different players, but using âsame sized printâ just cut smaller or larger. This ainât sellotaped on.
