Admittedly the Fury socks are gross!


Green is a great colour for a football strip, al the great football teams play in Green, such as Scotland's Hibernian FC.

If you disagree - then you just a dirty kiwi_jambo!
 
 
More of a red n yella man myself. Or pink n grey, at a push.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

The away strip will be rubbish if they can't find a sponsor I think?

For some reason I doubt that is the away kit we'll get. The home will definately be similar to that, though.

It's unfortunate Sony aren't our sponsor anymore because their logo is perfect for kits

I don''t really dig the horizontal stripe.

Though Boca's looks ok





I've always thought it looks kinda awkward though

I'm so looking forward to the stripes. And white kit wouldn't be too bad - might me a little too much going on though. I would have liked a pure classy white look with a nice gold trim

No law against it, but how about we help the club out and hold fire until Tuesday's release ?

The club needs all the media attention it can get it in this goforesaken land of oval ball fixation, and news has to be 'new' to be any value to a broadcaster.

How's my driving? - Whine here

James, did you listen to a word News (or for that matter I on the bus) said?

By showing people the strip now all you do is de-value the launch. The Club wants all the media attention it can get so as to get bums on seats and if hundreds (maybe even thousands) of people have already seen it the chance of featuring in the media is reduced.
 
Clubs actually have reasons for launching things on certain days and perhaps, as a supporter of the club, you should respect those reasons.

Great, the first view we get of it is a crappy cellphone image.
Plus, we were all anticipating the launch on tuesday.

That is so not cool James.

Well. Now that James has done that.

Does the kit live up to all the hype and expectation you expected?

I personally, am a bit disappointed with it.
But. never the less. I will wear it with pride!

For sale apparently.
Perhaps they will be taken away until the actual launch.

Stefan, i am a little bit disappointed too. Not going to mention who has it out on display. Tony P PM me for details if you want to phone and rage @ them.

It's better than I'd hoped tbh. I think the sleeves look better than the mock ups I've seen on here.
