I am worried as to what we could be seeing next season, two of the worst kits I have ever seen and for a club with REEBOK as sponsor on the front as well as shirt supplier

I couldn't work out how to get the pictures up so if anyone can please do. Probably the most serious issue facing all A-League clubs currently

We don't need to worry as the whole reason we have these templates is that they will not do sublimation printing which is what that fade out is.

How's my driving? - Whine here

Absolute Pig sh*t. You couldn't even tell it was a bolton top apart from the tiny emblem.

" the biggest issue facing the A league"

Sorry but,  eveytime I read the headline followed by the content.
, j.c.
The biggest issue is actually caring about it.
Kits??????? Who cares, j.c. its about the football NOT  what they wear.
IF ya don't like it , don't buy it. They will get the picture, but as for what the team looks like on the field, well love .

You miss the point, it does matter because the better a kit looks, the more people will buy it, and the more people buy it, the more cash in they clubs coffers, which in turn affects the amount of money available for players. Marketing a club is a huge thing, and these Reebok kits (the Notlob one and the current crop of dross in the A League) means that the club (and all other clubs in the league I'm sure) is missing out on money. I don't have the current Phoenix top because I think the design is crap and I wouldn't wear it even if I bought it.
Get Adidas on the job, they do a decent job with the MLS. Or better still, let the clubs source their own.

Sorry Auskiwi, I have no idea what you are talking about...
 
I like football kits and I don't want the team I support to have a lame one.  Fine if it doesn't matter to you, bit of light hearted banter about Bolton's rubbish kit, no need to get your knickers in a twist

Very first line on the Wiki entry for Reebok reads:

Reebok International Limited is a British producer of athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories and is currently a subsidiary of Adidas.

, I see you have no idea, all good matey. I hope the team gets a 'pretty kit for you".
Master dean, im for sure not in a twist, just 'taking the piss' and having a laugh.
Personally I don't care what the ' kit' is, last time I check ed only goals counted.
Reminds me abit of the 'fagblacks' in France worring about grey insteed of black jerseys, .
Hope your enjoy the game tomorrow ( and of course, the nix look 'nice' in their kits).
Wish I was there, GO NIX 3-1,  but remember it is only preseason
