IMO this is easily the worst kit we have had in the 11 years I have supported the club. Horrible.

RFCUK Surely the club get offered templates, along with what can and can't be changed in terms of pattern and colour..

So for the home shirt we went for the design template same as Watford, Greenock etc etc.. It should then be up to the club what colours they put where, and where the badge goes?

So the club decided badge in the middle, red on the sleeve, and then thick hoops.. Look at Greenock.. Same template, but they decided to go with smaller hoops..

I personally think with more and thinner hoops and a badge not in the middle, this could have been one of our great kits..

Jay, can you mock up what it would have looked like with a normal badge and more hoops..? That would have been a dream kit, along with white shirts and socks..




That's a smart kit. I could have even put up with the badge in the middle if it had that number of hoops.

Standard blue white home kit with a red stripe on the left shoulder. Looks good

Away kit is all yellow

If, like me, you were wondering why the home shirt arms look so baggy while the away shirt's look normal, the home pictured is an XXL and the away is 'only' a L.

In fact both are apparently the same cut.

Hopefully, the ugly design of the shirts will stop all the spakkers buying them thus allowing us not to look like utter idiots as a fanbase.

Replica shirts on anyone over the age of 16 is simply wrong.

yeah, Reading must be unique in that respect, as you never see adults wearing shirts anywhere else. :roll:

Our club more than most.

Doesn't make it right either that other clubs do.

Go to any ground in the country and you'll see thousands of adults in shirts, in no noticeably greater of lesser proportion than our fan base.

Your personal opinion doesn't make it wrong either. I'd guess you're what, mid 20s, and you are convinced your way of watching football is the way "proper" fans do it, but adults have always worn shirts since they've been available to buy, even back in to 80s when fans were supposed to be much cooler before sky etc etc.

Surely we're all in agreement that adults who not only wear the replica shirt but have an RFC training jacket over the top is massively gimp

OS - More important info on new kits on the website now:

• Names/numbers on the away kit are blue.
• Home and away shirts are the same cut.
• We're the only sports store with these kits.

As in, they will not be sold in Sports Direct, JJB, etc?

I guess the club weren't getting as much money from it as they liked.

Glad the numbering on the away strip will be blue, if only the shorts and socks were too.

Why would anyone tuck a football shirt in to their football shorts?

I tuck mine into my boxers every night when I go to bed.

I like both shirts actually, on further inspection.

I wish people would stop moaning.
