time to buy up on BLK sell-off gear as I'm sure our new 'elite' gear aint gonna be as good (and that's saying something)...
You know you've nailed down a great kit supplier and designer when they copy your last shit design, the blk work experience kid must have got a new placement with viva.
For those interested check out the nbn interviews from tonight's coverage, poor contrast selection for the red and blue again, copied the blk shoulder look and the squad is even still using the old blk training gear, but at least this abortion of a club somehow managed to organise a couple of shirts for the media interviews at the end of the story.
I hate seeing the typical Newcastle fan sprouting the blue and red are Newcastle's colours shit, and the usual nonsense about how that's always been Newcastle's colours with the first reason always given as knights..... Let's get back to having our own identity for ****s sake!
After Vivas lack of any effort at all I'm half motivated to reinstall Photoshop and see if I can come up with something better myself, it shouldn't be that hard.
Photoshop? You could create something better in MS Paint.

I know it's just the training kit, but already I'm not impressed. I really wanted us to aim high with the new supplier. If you're in sharp looking gear, then it helps you feel good on game day. Why did Shankly change Liverpool's kit to be all red? So it made his team look like monsters and they played like that.
As Pico mentioned, I noticed the font and brand naming as being very similar to BLK. Are they a BLK phoenix company?
The design looks like something you'd make while picking the shirt design for your online fantasy team.
I really think we missed the boat here. I'll wait and see what the kit looks like when completed but I'm not holding my breath.
ALSO - this won't go any way to solving the ongoing issue with the club's colours. The debate continues and I think the club need to show some initiative by clearly and once and for all hold a proper vote for all members to choose the club's kit PRIMARY colours. As with all clubs around the world, away kits can alternate between a variety. Otherwise the same argument will come up every year - "I want blue", "I want navy blue", "Where's E&C?", "Bring back gold", "The black and white kit was great", "We should just have a white away kit". You're not goign to please everyone but let the members follow a democratic process.
Because ultimately, the colours were changed WITHOUT our consultation by Stinkle in the first placer. We, the fans and members, should have the vote whether we want the colours to remain or change. I think that's what it all boils down to.
Seeing Emile Heskey in E&C was the best moment of my life.
WSW colours/name/etc were voted on by their fanbase. And look how successful it was for them.Quote:

And may I bring it up again - we have had a vote in the past. 76% of the fans voted for e&c.
EDIT: surely this can't be THAT hard to setup either. What about those surveys they send out sproadically - what sponsors did you see at the game on the weekend.. who is your player of the year.. etc.
Surely someone in the club can setup a survey monkey or something, and ask what do you want the CLUB COLOURS to be, what colour do you want HOME KIT to be, etc. It'd just be a matter of making sure options are extensive enough - my prime eg being don't just ask if you want the club colours to be red & blue, but also ask navy & red, as there is such a stark difference between what I consider to be an awful royal blue vs a navy. It can't be that hard to setup and evaluate, surely.
Just for clarity, The club colours (i.e. those on the logo) haven't changed. The colour of the kits have.Quote:

I like the training shirt in those photos.

Surely this can't be an FFA Cup kit. My division 7 team's kit is better.
Club colours are almost always the predominant colours of a home kit. So if people want a home kit of vastly different colour to the logo, that calls into play a change in official club colours.Quote:

uga looks so happy to be there. :)Quote:

Aleague going along with our kit theme this year.
Shitty washed out colours.
Must be our time to win it.
This was a fan made logo and voted on by the public.Quote:

EDIT: but I'm not sure whom governs it all. That above picture has CCM with single tone navy "hoops" (are they hoops?? More like horseshoes innit, maybe for good luck??) but looking at CCM's Twitter Page and they've seemingly added white to it to give it a two-shade effect on a navy background:

They just stole wellington's.
Love how City and Smurfs are identical.
Why are Victory trying to be the Kiwis?
What about this shit...
"The Chase has been introduced for the 2017-18 season to ensure each team will play each other once in the final nine rounds leading into the Finals Series.
In the first 18 rounds, teams will play each other twice, setting up a run home to make the Top Six."
Way to make the simple concept of playing each team three times and spread out over the season a "brainchild".
At least we won't play Sydney three times in six weeks.
I love the look of our emblem.
And the "chase"...totally agree. What a crock. Like the "distance derby"
Tbf the FFA need to be congratulated on setting up the fixtures relatively sensibly. So I don't have a huge issue with them putting a tagline like "The Chase" on those last games. It's the FFA's own way of coping, after making a surprisingly normal decision on something. Worth it, I reckon.Quote:

Just further shows how truly out of touch the FFA are with the league. They can't be stealing the name of derbies as they see fit - The Distance Derby is clearly set aside for Jerks Youth vs Weston Bears ffs.
Shows the power of FoxSports.
The "Distance Derby" was coined by Bozza - I remember watching when he did it. They had just concluded one of the other derbies and Adam Peacock said something like "geez what do we call this game"? Bozza - "the distance derby, argh, argh, argh, arghhhh"!!
Similarly - Simon Hill coined "Big Blue" during a sideline preview at Etihad.
I reckon the chase is a great idea.
I don't know what to think of anything that hasn't been focus grouped.
This needs to be name dropped on every football forum and social media website until it is universally acknowledged as the correct and proper title for this fixture on the calendar...Quote:

Be hilarious if we got a dildo on the top of them and then threaten the players that they wear them round 2 if they don't beat the Gypos Rd 1Quote:
