Digitalis 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yes, it hasn't been the slickest process ever has it? ! Oh well, I have a process in place for next season: Plenty of time to vote. Recommendations to members explaining colour issues and trying to avoid the need for a 3rd kit. Kit ordered in good time. Delivered in time to sort delivery/order issues, naming and numbering to be sorted. We should be ok against Lewes but have to have the 3rd kit in place for Wrexham on 13th September. That's work in progress as I write... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PatMan 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 What are the options for the 3rd kit? I thought Wrexham play in red, so the white away should be ok, surely? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eufckev 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Here's the kit itself. Looks good! Need to try and keep it clean, though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Altrincham are red and white stripes and though I haven't seen them, the likes of York or Kettering might have a fair bit of white in their shirts.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PatMan 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 White kit looks good, very good... Shame badge cant be central tho And thanks for highlighting the teams in red and white - but wanted to know why Wrexham was seen as required date for 3rd kit, as the white won't clash with their red, will it?

So are we planning on ripping off the fans changing the kit again next season? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PatMan 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 When was the last time Fleet wore the same kit for more than 1 season? Including sponsor changes etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You're too subtle by half! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Digitalis 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 It doesn't show on the photo above, but the vertical red side bands on the shirt are actually pretty wide when worn and seen side-on. It is doubtful, at the very least, the ref. would accept it. Advice was sought from various officials on the subject. It's not worth taking the risk of turning up and having no accetable shirt to wear. And of course when we get to somewhere like Woking where one side of the shirt is white, and one side red...

Stu M 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 It's actually a money-saving exercise. As energy prices rise and the cost of heating becomes prohibitive, Fleet fans will be the warmest group of people in the locality due to the amount of shirts they'll be able to wear all at once. Stop moaning Holden, where's your Blitz Spirit?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikefleet 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 the vote is open for the 3rd kit kit 1: http://i35.tinypic.com/2ym7s4w.jpg kit 2: http://i35.tinypic.com/98zf6d.jpg kit 3: http://i35.tinypic.com/24cb6lj.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu M 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 They all look like they've been chosen as last-minute third-kit designs... a bit Sunday League! Green one for me though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DA11 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Definitely Green for me. Will look better worn as a casual top. Yellow looks nice in the summer but not in the winter. For some reason many MyFC members think that yellow is our traditional away colour??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its the first one that we knew, brings back memories of Aldershot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rsheard 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Mark, I think you're right that because yellow was the away color when MyFC came on board, many members think it's a traditional choice. It is, however, also in the badge. But with blue trim? If it had been black trim, I'd have preferred it. Whichever one it is, let's hope it becomes the official away kit next season for exactly the reason DH brought up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuThompson 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I am actually liking the white top more than the home one, it looks fantastic can't wait to get my one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bsmith 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'd go for the yellow one, better visibility. At the end of the day players need to be able to look up and instantly see a player to pass to, green wouldn't be helping matters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Albie78 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Yellow looks good or the blue and white Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bsmith 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 To be the honest I thought the yellow was one of the better away kits, I think it's good the way half the logo is red like our home colours, and the other half is yellow like our away colours (last season of course) Green's probably the last colour I'd pick.

Hannah 0 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 The new away kit is very smart! I'm liking that a lot! And I'd go for the green third kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
