But clearly our club is afraid of using common sense, keeping members happy, and getting the best possible product. So we'll stick to the decisions of the lady at the front office signing off on kits for the foreseeable future, I'd guess.

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.

Also that 76% vote was for the away kit for that season (the other options being black and white stripe or whole white kit). It wasn't for the home kit - which was red and blue stripe with gold neck. The home kit is what I see people arguing for.
