The point I was making on the other thread was about the wider perception of "red devils". Do people honestly believe that if someone was to stand on Market St in Manchester and ask 100 random people "in local sport, who are the Red Devils?" a majority would say that it's Salford rugby club?

As for that hat on the previous page. One similar (the kids one on the website) came up in conversation yesterday; the comment was that it looks like a snide Man United one off a market stall, one of those that's intended to be for united fans without infringing their trademarks.

Don't get m wrong, I think it was right to change from Salford City Reds to Salford Red Devils, I just don't think the general public are likely to immediately think of us when they read/see/hear the Red Devils being mentioned.

I guess the most likely search engine response would be :-
A football team - ' nearby '
A army Parachute display team
A Belgian National Football Team
A South Korean National Football Team
we would come 5th which is good going for a team who changed its moniker a little over 12 months ago

If you mentioned 'Salford' in terms of sport there wont be much of a shortlist , which is why I cannot understand removal of Salford from Red Devils

I have to admit I wasn't too sure about the new shirt when I first saw it but I think it looks a lot better being worn. I also like the shade of red and the red shorts.

Thought the same thing myself... need to see what the away kit looks like when worn then I might buy one.

Really like the subtle differences on the players version of the shirt. Any idea whether these might be available to buy?

Do prefer the lower neck line and contrasting UA signs on the players shirts.

Even though I liked it at first sight have to say even better when you physically see it.

I really didn't like the design when I saw them mocked up but in the flesh they look great (particularly the players ones).

Any ideas whether the players edition is available to purchase?

I know, it's almost like someone at the club know what they are doing, wonders never cease



I'd much prefer to shell out a little more and buy the players one, looks much better when you spot the differences.

And apparently you'll be able to buy them in the new store opening in January in the Lowry.

That's good progress for me, just think of all those Salford shop lifters wearing their ill gotten gains to promote the club

I'd certainly pay a little more too for the players one.
