Indeed. Not liking the shirts doesn't make you a lesser fan.
I will probably spend the money I would have used to buy a shirt to buy some alternative
merchandise.

There's been a lot of hollier than thou attitudes for some time so what difference does today make.

I mostly read these days and filter through the tosh and my dads bigger than yours posts

Did you see Cameron today

Some people would buy a bin bag if the club stuck a badge on it and marketed it as a shirt. Others prefer to spend their money more wisely. Each to their own. I'll hang fire and see what other merchandise there is i think, especially if there is a heritage shirt coming in the new year.

If you squint at the shirts for thirty seconds, the background is in 3D.

In 2D, however, they are dreadful.

The home one look 'dirty'. And from any short distance the away looks like it has 'wet patches' on it. Hopefully the upcoming shirts will be better and the rest of the merchandise looks decent.

I think they both look really good. Quite innovative to have the Fleur de Lys background and a nice tip to our heritage.

I don't buy replica shirts to mince about in front of the mirror I buy them to support our club. Shirts and merchandise look good new sponsors and plenty on offer in the club shop

If that's the case, just give the club your money.

I think the point is that if they were nice looking shirts, they'd sell a lot more of them.

They are truly awful, I never thought I would be glad that we are using the current manufacturer whose ideas of sizing are laughable. I hope those in the pictures are squad shirts because they are somewhat fitted which most supporters aren't. I have not seen them in the flesh so hope that the cheap and nasty look of the material is due to the fact it is a picture and what is the dirty mark, some kind of paw print.
I can now see why they intend to bring out another two shirts because I just cannot see these catching on with anyone with a modicum of taste.
I fear and this forum appears to back it up that they have missed a revenue opportunity.

Won't be paying the best part of fifty quid apiece for them, don't like them at all. Good chance to get some wear out of some older shirts I suppose.

Maybe in future the kit designing should be left to the people who design kits for a living. The awful away kit from this year (and how many of them that are unsold) should have been a warning. I wouldn't ask the chief designer of Macron to do our books, so lets not do it the other way round either.

Offer it as a competition to local design students. Cash prize and great on the CV. Some of the mocked up ones on here are better than those ones. As Scarlet said, revenue opportunity lost.

I thought Wakefield fans would buy Wakefields shirt because of the badge not because of looks. i guess not

What Theboyem said.

I would hope that unlike some clubs our supporters are blessed with a freedom of thought that means we wouldn't accept anything if it had a badge on it. The country and many of its population have suffered wage stagnation so if you are asking them to pay nearly £50 then what you offer must be what they want and now even more so.
The shirt design is one of the clubs most important decisions financially and unfortunately they have blown it.
