I referenced somewhere that John Staff once stopped me to say the claret on my 1950s replica shirt was incorrect. But I certainly wasn’t slagging him off. I respected and admired his knowledge and the fact he cared about these things.

If it’s the details that’s annoying people then it’ll be fine when you’re viewing them from the top tier of the Emirates Stadium.
Or Teletext
‘Someone (on here or the Facebook cult page) once slagged John Staff off because he knew the exact ‘pantone numbers’’
I think I asked what the number was in reply to Saleiron. I asked out of curiosity and genuine interest though it did amuse me. I would never slag off John Staff either. Huge respect for him and bought several of his books. In fact I don’t recall anyone on here slagging him off so this is either a misunderstanding or perhaps happened on another site.

I’ve just had another look. Could that “chevron” in fact be an arrowhead pointing to the sponsors logo? Great marketing!
Need contrasting shorts with home kit, all claret no good.It’s pointing at the one pack that makes nearly all people who wear them look ridiculous

There was a few turned on him after he was briefly banned from selling his Raw chickens.
A certain self publicist behind that I think?

Absolutely horrible kits .. poor design cheap n nasty.
There were some suggested images on the SFCFFB page about 3 weeks ago that were excellent yet this is what we got .. please dont bother with a third kit if this is the standard.
Sales might possibly be lower than normal but last years kit was pretty bad and still sold well so who knows… its a fact i wont be having one sent out this year.
I was under the impression fans would have a vote or a say in the kits but appears not, they are only thrown a bone when the club is after rifling the pockets.1 user thanked author for this post.
Club couldn’t go far wrong in going for the kit images from the Facebook page for next season, that would be nice and early and would save my rinse and repeat thread been aired.
The working with the fans was not a vote but more on the launch but still never happened, much more of that and Vof should be looking at themselves and their role and whether it’s just going to be one sided and them looking like patsies.1 user thanked author for this post.

As I don’t buy replica shirts, I am not too pernicketty about the design. The club colours are claret and light blue and this Home shirt that contains both these colours I’m happy with. As for the logos, well they generate cash from sponsors, which for me is better than some of the schemes the club has come up with to remove money from my wallet!
3rd shirt is best of the 3

Our new replica kits were due to have arrived and be on sale by the end of last week. A cursory bit of research reveals that most NL clubs have theirs released and on sale. Assuming that it is an important and major source of revenue to the club, it’s not good enough. Fans weren’t consulted on design because of the imperative to get kits on sale at an early point.
Meyba appear to have been utter garbage on all fronts since SUFC went with them. I am positive the club will bin them off when contractually able.

Have we ever had a supplier with which the club and fans were happy? I see that Hartlepool’s Meyba manufactured kits are available and on sale. What have they done differently?
