Who designed that mess?

That's a bit harsh - I've seen us in worse. I'm a bit old fashioned though so would always prefer fully AMBER shirts and navy shorts, but I know that the design job to keep it fresh and meet the requirements of sponsors and generate income for the club is really hard so I appreciate their efforts.

[Guest Wycombe Rebel]

Sorry I just think it’s awful and not in keeping with the main amber colour, we shouldn’t be changing our kit to suit a sponsor.

[3spirit]

I don't think it's bad at all.

[Glover]

Awful kit , it should major on the Amber with smaller amounts of navy. Let’s hope in 2 years time that the fans are asked for their opinion as per the purple kit of MYFC days.

The kit I've always liked best was the first I saw a Slough Town team play in. Royal blue shirts with amber collar and sleeves. Downhill all the way since then.

Not a fan of the design personally, but great to have Slough Estates on the front as the sponsor. Well done to those involved to have got that deal done. 

[Reading Rebel]

Only looking at twitter the majority seem to be in favor of the new design.

Personally I think the older traditionalists won't be in favor but the younger ones probably will.

I seem to remember we had a shirt when we were at Beaconsfield that was Amber with blue stripes down the side.

Yep.

In our poor, losing nearly every game days.

I'm one of the older ones and I like the new kit. Something different, but not bizarre. COYR

I don't think that many clubs would agree the terms of their all so important sponsorship deal if the new kit did not promote the sponsor as well as the football club.

"Earlier this year we announced that Slough Trading Estate will be the official sponsor for the new shirts in their centenary year, and their logo is proudly displayed on the front of the shirt.
We are also pleased that Slough Town Supporters Trust have sponsored the new shirt, and the Trust’s logo is printed on the back."

If "we didn't change the kit to suit the sponsor" Cookham Rebel, it would still be displaying Morgan Sindall!

There's always exceptions to the rule Bernie ?

Unfortunately when it comes to a new kit you can't please everyone.   

[Bernie Gogan]

There's far more to bother about than the shirt anyway! What about the colour of the shorts and socks for a start!!

The proof of whether it’s a popular design will be the number of shirts sold to fans compared to previous seasons.

Maybe maybe not  A lot of people in these exceptional times have a lot less spare cash  or are worried about what the future holds

[michaelSTFC]

My view is that if you have the money to buy one, you should. The club needs all the money it can get so not buying a shirt because it's non-traditional only hurts the club.

 

I'm certainly not a HUGE fan, but my decision to buy a shirt won't be based on design.

There goes the "we all live in an AMBER submarine" song.

[Reading Rebel]

3/4 of the shirt is still amber.

[Sir Rebel1965]

Looks less than 1/2 the front is now amber, but as I can't see the back then I may be wrong.
