Marmite is 50-50, this one's more like 90-10, so I'd say it's more Chicken Bovril than Marmite

as a kit, of a sporting team, it's just fine...

as a kit a kid wants to wear out on the pitch... it's fine...

as an adult.. wearing it as more like a fashion statement, it's average.. the eyes get pulled along with the diagonal lines.

As a representation of the club, it's a misstep.

This was once a quality forum....

What amuses me about this new shirt thing, and I am easily amused, is how many say they dislike it and certainly wouldn't buy one. Well chaps, fact is the shirt wasn't designed with you in mind.

Anyway, most blokes look naff going out in a football shirt that has been designed to make a statement on the pitch, worn by our top ten players at Selhurst Park. I never understood the fad for wearing the club shirt to matches.

How about you save your hard earned, get a red and blue scarf, a rattle, a cloth cap and a pipe and go retro.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Looks great, modern with a hint of a sash. Having a plain old sash is just outdated, hints of league 1 or league 2. Hopefully we'll never see that again.

It’s not so much not buying it as not liking something that looks as though it’s made out of Austin Powers’ sofa.

I don’t really agree with this philosophy. Having an opinion on whether you do or don’t like something needn’t be linked to whether you buy it.

Also try to see it from different points of view.

Some of the fans enjoy the ritual of going to selhurst to watch the game in the clubs colours…perhaps they like having the latest kit. Until they saw this one!

Look BTP, I have a lot of time and respect for your posts. I like what you say and the views you express. Well thought out and articulate.

As others have said on here this new kit seems to have polarised our thinking. You clearly don't like it, I happen to think it's OK. It's a darn sight better than the kits some of our competitors have to pull on.

In truth, I too would prefer things didn't change and that we kept the same kit year on year and still wore claret and blue. I'm an old geezer don't forget.

But the modern trend dictates that it has to change every year and surely the board has to approve it. I'm just surprised that so many hate it. But there we are. All different. Makes the world go round.

At least it's getting talked about.

Red and Blue Army!

that could be the idea behind it - wouldn't surprise me if they'd succumbed to some marketing BS

I agree with those who don't want to see the team wear this kit.

Of course it is a choice not to buy one, but watching home games cannot avoid.

It's the kit equivalent of having JdB as manager.

Desperation for change leads to doing something totally different and it quickly goes pants.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
