| Is it just me who finds it odd that JCT600 are on the front of the shirt twice?
Lends even more weight to the idea that they'd originally pulled out of being the main shirt sponsor in favour of being a smaller one, but then changed their minds.

| Quote DILLIGAF="DILLIGAF"Can people really not see why they don't go with the "traditional" hoops every time?
The same shirt every year means fans that are hard up just won't buy it. They'll take one look and say "well I have a shirt with hoops almost identical to that, just with a different collar sponsor" and not bother.
By having a different design each year, the people who want to look like they're wearing the latest shirt will buy it.
It doesn't seem like rocket science to me.
Yes we may all like the hoops and the tradition, but it doesn't make clever business sense. And considering the club don't have a nice wealthy backer, they need to make as much money on merchandise as they can.
I haven't seen the stats, but I somehow suspect that shirts like this will sell a lot more than those that look almost identical to the previous year's effort.'"
I get all that and I also have no way of arguing over the numbers because I just don't know.
I would really have thought that a RAB V would have been ideal for this relaunching of the club. You're right about minor tweaks giving no incentive to buy but it would have been the first one since 2006 (I don't count last year) and I just suspect would have sold more.
Again, almost every other club in SL manages to keep traditional on their home shirt while leaving the experiments to their away shirt. If it really does make financial sense to go bold on the home shirt then why does nobody else? (The wealthy financial backer argument makes no sense - these are businesses, not just reckless vanity projects.)

| It's also excellent that the club will have both shirts on sale BEFORE Xmas. I've always felt that the club was missing a trick by only releasing the away shirt in Dec then the Home shirt in Jan. Hopefully they've ordered a decent number of both shirts in a good range of sizes to cover demand. I would imagine that people who've saved so much money on their season ticket would be tempted to buy a new Bulls shirt to go with it.
I know I'll be buying my first new shirt since, I'm not sure actually. It's the last home shirt to have RAB hoops, 2007?

Yep, 2008 and 2009 shared a home shirt, the one Beaver is scoring in above on the banner

| Not keen on the home one, but it's not offensive to the spirit or anything. I like the design burt the mismatching sleves are off putting. The away shirt would be perfect if not for the weird bit of black at the collar.

Damn you FA. Bearer of bad news!!!
Still, good news of sorts as it shows interest in the kit and it is all welcome revenue. Well done to the early birds who caught the worm but you must all have insider info on this one!
Ach well, I can wait.

One presumes you are drawing attention to what I presume is an inability to spell "being"?

I wouldn't say almost every other club. Certainly Hull and Saints for example do keep a similar shirt every year. But that's mainly down to the fact their fans go apesh*t if they change the design. Hull changed it from the irregular hoops and fans went nuts. So they try and stick with it. They probably don't sell as many shirts as they would like, but it's either that or fans revolt and don't buy hardly any. So for them, it's better business sense to stick with the traditional.
With our club, there isn't a big revolt when we don't go with hoops, because most people, although they might prefer hoops, aren't really that bothered. So it makes better business sense for us to bring out a new style each time.
