I’m not overly offended by the gambling. I’d prefer not to have a gambling sponsor, but whatever whatever. It’s just an extremely shit logo.
'greed, whatever the company does get a better logo. Also, kit launches are nearly always meh, except for that one time we sent one to space

Having said that I've had an email from off of the club saying it's more than just a shirt but I can't work out what else it is?
Tea towel? Table cloth for a small occasional table?

Advert for a betting company?

It’s nice enough. However the back is fcuking shocking unless you get a number and name. Ridiculous.

At least I'll be able to read the name and number on the back of the shirt!

I presume we're having to sell Wifi because the club store has a limit of 12 characters for adding names to the back of the new shirt.

I love we’ve got a traditional shirt with no gimmicky message.
People need to stop bitchin about a gambling sponsor. Gambling is part of many sports fans lives and enjoyment as part of the game, half the people who complain about a gambling sponsor actually have a bet on football themselves so I just don’t get the problem.
Sponsor logos ruin all shirts in my opinion and looking at some of the other teams new shirts who have huge hideous colourful designs splashed across them I think ours looks quite understated !
Anyway as this all started in the 70’s for me so I’m happy with the white shorts hooped socks and overall more traditional look

awful shirt imo

Abysmal looking sponsor, and the thin red lined looks a bit too QPR for me

It's a solid 9/10 for me. Only the larger hoop to accommodate the sponsor bothers me.

Hoops on the arms, white shorts, white and hooped socks; big ticks.

Best we've had for a long time IMO.

The betting logo looks better than the SCL did too. (doesn't mean I like the betting side of it but appearance wise I do).

Had a bit of luck today. Ordered one of the sale shirts from two years ago, and popped in to the club shop to pick it up. The not entirely clued up teenager behind the counter handed me my package, and I trotted off, neither of us realising that he'd actually given me one of the new shirts and not one from two years ago. Result! So I definitely like it now.

Will probably still get one of the old shirts in the sale next time I'm passing by Reading, too.

Let's bring back tobacco sponsoring and be done with it!
