Just seen pic on website looks very boring,hope the real thing looks better,though suppose will still get whatever it like!

Cant say I like it and was hoping for red and white hoops to be honest. Maybe to the naked eye it looks better but Black with silver/Gray pattern on just doesnt seem a Fax shirt at all. Sorry

Looks okay up close. Will make a better casual shirt to wear rather than a traditional playing shirt.

Did anyone go to the Shirt launch today, or has everyone just seen pics of it?

I got to Harveys at 1pm and was told by the shop assistant, 'the shirt launch had finished earlier this morning due to a lack of interest'. Seen as though the event was advertised to finish at 2pm, it is hardly suprsing that there hadn't been much interest.

With such half-hearted marketing, how do the club expect to attract new fans? Let alone sell the shirts to existing fans.

Thought that myself, especially if it is the same collar and v neck that is on the home shirt (does anyone know?)

The shirt has a collar combined with a round neck front. Proper embroidered crest again.

I have the shirt and I am wearing it now and I really like it maybe its not to everyones taste but I prefer it to Red and white any day colour is just wrong.

All I can do is shake my head and wonder? Why if you came all that way, what 15 miles? why didn't you go to the club shop and buy one there.

ps, if you were left with nothing to do, why didn't you come and put the covers on?

08.00 hours tomorrow, we will be taking them off. Will you be there.


No thought not.


As I said earlier, no disrespect intended, but as the saying goes "with friends like you, who needs enemies"

If you read the website it says they left Harveys to go and sort out what was happening with the pitch after the Town match was called off and also because Harveys was very busy with sale customers

I like it. Its different in a way with the tribal like patterns. Also the club have done well here as they have gone for a traditional blue and white hoops home shirt, and a modern away shirt. Some will prefer the home and some the away, so I think they will do well in away shirt sales to add the already large amount of home shirt sales.

This is a good post I too feel that some of the comments are unfair on matt who travels from Rochdale not only to support the team but support events organised by the club and the trust and can understand is frustration at his journey from Rochdale today being made a complete waste of time. I was unable to help put the covers on the pitch today due to having my 14 month daughter but I applaud everyone who was involved in getting the covers on and all the efforts being made to get the game on tomorrow I again will not be able to help get the covers back off again tomorrow due to the fact my partner will be working so again I will have my daughter I will however be attending the game. I need to speak to Linda/Chris about our involvement in this years Fax fund builder another sponsored event will be organised.

Back to the actual shirt I think it's very smart. No idea what those markings are supposed to be mind but it's a nice top.
