how did they manage to make it garish and bland at the same time? I like the idea of a peacock motif for Leeds but they've completely copped out with the colours, it's like a peacock that's been through the wash too many times Just seen a picture of their third kit. Not picking on them because it’s them, but it’s a shocker. It in the colours of Fruit Salad sweets (yum!), but their fans will look like Mr Blobby in it! Not a fan as more of a traditionalist. White = Home , Blue = Away, Yellow = 3rd Kit …….yes be creative within this criteria but stick to those basic principles. They are wearing it at Brum Away today. Maybe a Win in it may change My opinion but for now Fruit Salad Sweets My Arse! 😉

Watched your lot last week, reckon you will be fine this season if you carry on playing like that. Looking forward to our games, the banter is in full swing round my way. I have lost count of the amount of times I have heard ‘dog botherer’. Always like to get a bite though with telling Leeds fans that the Town match is their cup final.

Well thank goodness for our sake that we don’t play you for a while as we are currently in total disarray with mutiny in the camp allegedly. Lucky to be currently in warmer climes and watched the game v Brum on Saturday in a designated Leeds Bar. We all watched the full 90 minutes in total silence, not one single moment of play to get us off our wicker chairs. Presumably there is a plan somewhere but at this rate I’ll be dusting off My Boots from playing (very enthusiastically but badly) from My Kirklees Sunday League Days! 🫣

As someone who writes for a living, we love this sort of stuff although the launch of The Hundred will be hard to beat … Manchester Originals are “celebrating a global city of firsts” and “laughing in the face of limits”. Birmingham Phoenix are “a celebration of the strength in diversity, because different is good”. Northern Superchargers are “powered by positivity and people who get stuff done”. Southern Brave are “endlessly curious, with an insatiable appetite for adventure”. Trent Rockets will launch “the biggest party in the country” exclusively for those “who don’t mind having the most fun”. Welsh Fire are “burning bright with intense passion and relentless energy” with – and this phrase might have felt particularly meaningful for whoever penned it – a “hunger to prove the haters wrong”. Must be the same writers who describe the perfumes and after shaves you see in the brochures on planes. Hilarious reading that helps pass the time. …and you can’t beat the car manufacturers for the absolute guff they include in their ads as a strap line or slogan or whatever the correct marketing spiel is! A complete waste of the two seconds it takes to say it on their ads. Exhibit A; Kia …movement that inspires, wtaf does that even mean?!?! Has anyone ever been persuaded to buy one after hearing that!?

It was in a reply to some knobhead who asked why more women didn't make the effort to look good whilst playing.

And I suspect its more about the potential for revealing more than they'd want, rather than specifically wanting a kit that makes them "look nice".

Not that I'd want to be in a crowd of those "newly attracted" supporters though, can just imagine the chants and comments

And if the answer is "yes", then its worth sticking up for something that suggests change. On a seperate note, if a Town football shirt was made by "Global Hypercolor" (lets see the age of posters!!), so it was completely white when they walked out, but the blue stripes were thermochromic and appeared when they started running round and warming up - would that be the best thing ever...or not?!

Holy shit, I had loads of those t-shirts, orange turned to green, blue turned white and vice versa, the black one turned yellow iirc That makes me old I take it Edit: When I had "the chat" to my step-son about relationships, I told him if he's thinking of doing something to a girl he should first think how he'd feel if somebody did that to his sister or mam before proceeding.

It's a great idea, however, if Russell was still playing for us, we'd have 9 Town shirts & a Leeds one playing for us.

They're having to change to a new one at HT.
