lol way to get side tracked.

So next year reebok allows clubs more freedom with design?
When does reeboks contract with the FFA run out so clubs can get on with signing their own deals with brands? i.eCCC and Adidas are better than REEBOK

Well Adidas = Reebok but yeah. Think next year Reebok has given the clubs a bit of latitude, which is essentially the whole point of this thread

Ill be honest.. Im still not happy about stripes. people think it will be cool to look like hull but they should get off hull the band wagon.
Whats so cool about looking like another team?
CCM will have blue and yellow stripes so we will look like hull and CCM!

I don't want to look like hull. They are orange. Yellow and black stripes ftw.

I dont think it is jumping on any kind of bandwagon, just after a bit of uniqueness. We will have yellow and black so will not look like CCM and has anyone even said CCM are getting stripes or are we the only one?

Ah.. i hope that wasnt a secret.
I talked to news..
They are a dark color so it will be pretty close.

And i know way too many hull bandwagoners

tbh i'd rather have a Blackburn-like strip but the stripes are on our badge (best badge in league btw) so it makes sense.

Well, I hate our black abomination.  f**king dandruff emphasiser.  I'm hoping our future classy striped kit will disguise this cunningly.  Mind you, perhaps this is the reasoning forthe silly white shoulder things on our current strip...

Hull City is more orange than yellow. I think the yellow/black stripes are good. I actually don't mind this season's top but don't like the fact that every team in the league has pretty much the same strip!
 
If the strip looks like the one posted by the Melbourne guy, then I would be buying it, despite the ridiculous $130 price tag.

I'd buy any of the first two. The third one is pretty minging but I'd probably buy it anyway.

i like the first and third of those kits designed by the melb. fan. the mostly yellow one looks good but i prefer the other one by a mile.


im not sure about the black box around 'sony' on the white strip. it'd be an awsum away strip without that

Yellow and black stripes (like the kit proposed above) look great. The orange Hull-like ones do not.
