Yes, we could, but this is what happens when you leave it til the last minute. We're left with the **** no one else wanted.

Really how does it work with the teamwear range? every club pick's a template than that's it? who decides the kits at the club anyway?

I don't know about the rest of you, but I learnt my colours at primary school.

So did I.

One is light orange, the other is dark orange.:smile:
 
With you on that mate. This rivals the custard splat for worst shirt ever.

Never mind. Lets see how many they sell.

I wonder if this and the boring home kit are up there with the worst home/away combo's we have had?

Totally agree with you chaps - say NO to yellow you know it makes sense !
 
Couldn't they have put the stripes at a 45degree angle?

That would have been different.
 
Looks exactly like the Arsenal shirt I had in 1979!

Arsenal are one of those sides who definitely have an away colour - they've toyed with lots of different combos but yellow/blue is what most people would associate with them. Particularly so as that colour combo is associated with so many of their great moments.
 
Looks f*****g awful. Don't know why we can't just retain the basis of bright yellow with royal blue year on year and just tinker with the collar and trim every season. Marketing will probably have some boring stats on thorough change being better though. I'll still give it a swerve !!!
 
Do people really care what colour our away shirts are, or how boring the home kit is ...... Come on, whilst I appreciate the freedom of speech element of this forum - do we really need to moan about everything - it's all very tedious !!! At the end of the day - if we won promotion , everyone would buy a shirt. If we won every away game by Christmas , most kids would want the away short regardless of the style - the moaning on here is incredulous !!

Actually I do care.

It's about our branding and creating an identity.

The constant changes in shades and colours prevents us from developing a brand. Let's choose a shade, a set of colours and make them Southend United.

I don't know whether we are royal blue or navy blue; I don't know whether we are blue and white or blue and yellow. You should be able to recognise next year's kit as a Southend kit from a mile off but instead I'll have to read the badge to see whether or not it's a fellow fan.

Coventry are Sky Blue, Reading are Royal Blue (and white stripes) but we are whatever the chairman's wife happens to fancy that year.

That's rubbish. Even the badge, the one thing that identifies it as Southend, changes on a regular basis.

Let's create a visual identity and stick to it. You can still change the kit every year, but have enough common features that you can recognise it as a Southend kit from one year to the next without having to read the badge. That applies to our away kit as well. Let's have some theme, some connection rather than just spinning a twister wheel.

Agree with this.
