Silver Fox People who know what it's called?


Yes, but would you see see you at the Maiwand Lion or at the Forbury Lion?

And when did you start using Maiwand IRL?


When I joined here and encountered Forbes!

I'm actually starting to like it!

Windmill should be in the middle at the back though

It is gross. Looks really cheap and tacky.

Don't mind it personally. Something different that you won't see everyday. Will probably end up buying one.

If it was just plain hoops I'd like it a lot more. We just don't have a very impressive skyline in Reading unfortunately.

I do prefer the solid back, I know it's for EFL regulations but it is much easier to pick out numbers on a plain back like that.

Would rather white socks too but don't really care that much.

Seems a bit desperate trying to find worthwhile landmarks in what is a pretty bland and characterless skyline.

At least it has a collar so there's a chance of having a decent season.

I hate to admit it but it’s alright tbf. They’ve tried something different but I don’t buy them anymore so it doesn’t really matter to me.

It's a bit ironic that the stadium isn't on there as one of the iconic buildings of the city (unless I'm being a bit blind and have missed it).

It actually looks a bit better in the official photos than it looked in the leak. I'd have preferred proper hoops on the back and maybe a normal hoop on the sleeve instead of a detailed one though.

THIS IS HOME | INTRODUCING OUR BLUE AND WHITE HOOPS FOR 2023-24
Share


Let’s take a morning stroll over Caversham Bridge, before tackling the twists of Cemetery Junction,
Dawn breaks, tired nurses flood Royal Berks wards, as somehow in crisis they all bravely function.

From the sacred steeple of the windswept Reading Minster, to the spires of St Matthew's…St Mary’s…St James,
We sup coffee by the buzz of the Oracle’s riverbanks, recalling summer fun and childhood Forbury Park games.

Dipping toes in the cool of the Jubilee Fountain, seek some shelter in the shade of the sun-soaked Abbey arch,
Look up to blue skies over the Thames Tower’s top, our days match the metronome of the Brock Barracks march.

The Town Hall stands tall under watch of Victoria, ancient Huntley & Palmers shows no sign of crumble,
The town’s roots in beer, amongst friends it gets tipsy, townsfolk immersed in slurred Three Guineas mumble.

The Blade cuts the clouds that defiantly drift on, over Basildon Park, the Gaol, Pincents Hill Folly,
At Uni, they are learning and educate others on climate, before off to the Festival to sing loud and be jolly.

It is not perfect, but it’s ours. Every beer, bulb and biscuit. This is our town, we stick together, we we’ll not divide.
The wind turbine keeps turning above life over our land and the Lion watches on with unshrunk pride.

Home.

This. Is. Home.

We've been in the EFL for years now why the sudden change?

Don't know the specifics of why but it does make sense for us to be able to actually read the names and numbers..
