Think the club have hit the post with the new strip when a tap in looked easier!
Got a text from the bairn today saying "dad its full hoops" 6 hour drive to get home and just seen the clubs posts. My initial thoughts are
The pros
1. Club has made an effort to respond to feedback, fair play.
2. Its full hoops (i think) which for the traditionalists like me is a big plus. Personally, i also prefer the broader hoop.
3. Looks like the crest is closer to our traditional Hamilton coat of arms one
4. A non brand name / independent manufacturer should mean costs are more affordable????
The cons
1. For me, not sure the red sleeves are needed
2. Is that a sticker badge, not an embroidered one? Will this peel off in the first wash like one of the old sponsors did? (Think it was the Reid one?)
3. Image and brands are very important to kids. If you go down the line of non brand kits or ones produced by lesser know brands, they need to be top quality. Look at the recent issues with Castore.
I really hope they are made well as in theory i like the idea. Big brand templates can be pretty limited. Hopefully this means a wide range of bespoke merchandise. I really need a new bunnet!
Need to see the kits in the flesh, but hopefully there will be plenty of stock tommorow as planning on getting the bairns their new kits before the game. Been a lot of pocket money being saved up for this weekend, hopefully they get to spend it!.
On the away kit, far to jazzy for my tastes but get that is the thing now lol
