RR #1 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Definitely needs white shorts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 It looks a lot better in the recent picture on Rovers Twitter. Last Rovers top I bought was the 2022/23 one, did not like last seasons top at all. Not 100% sold on this one, will get a better look in person tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's hoping this season's away is another belter. I agree in the main, but even then, Joma messed it up by putting a big black label right in the middle of the map of Canary Islands, which was the defining feature of the top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 All the white flecks remind me a bit of this top, which was very much of it's time. Don't mind it to be fair but agree it would benefit from white shorts at least. Was any of the training kit available tonight? Those hoodies look nice in red and blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - more likely to get a hoodie than a top, unless away is the famous twa blue hoops.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Wonder if the away is the same design but all white making the shorts interchangeable 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith69 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 That top is honking has to be the worst we have had in a while, on a separate note we have another friendly next Tuesday at Starks with Annan, their friendly with East Kilbride was cancelled so have arranged one with us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpaddyx Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Sounds crazy but couldn't we just have a plain blue top? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanStarko Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 The top does look a lot better in person I felt, when they did the reveal video I was thinking wtf is that. But then the players came in wearing it and it didn't look as bad. But we do seem to have a habit now of taking a decent top and then doing something mental with the pattern on the shoulders and then sticking a weird as f**k collar on it. Still bought it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith69 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 It looks like someone decided to cover it in tip-ex mark's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Its like the person designing got to the shoulders with the pattern, got distracted and then forgot to finish it before it was asked to be handed over to the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICMAC Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Don't mind the bus seat pattern, it's the stupid square neck that puts me off Won't be buying it that's for sure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DutchBorderer Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Wowzers, you guys got done dirty. Very dirty. Let me make this worse for you. This design was specially made for Norwich City, based on their bespoke 'Weave' typeface, used as decoration around the stadium. Joma, or whatever supplier is acting as middleman between RRFC and Joma, simply recoloured it and stuck a different crest on. It's also by far the worst Norwich away kit in years and years. Joma didn't even pick a nice kit to recycle for you I'll share the link to Norwich' press release but quote the relevant bits below; Quote [...] this season’s away shirt is dark green, with a sublimated yellow and green weave pattern. The weave is a core feature of the club branding that was introduced in the summer of 2022. Here's a press release about the 'weave' that you're now being forced to wear; Quote Historically the club’s typography has utilised off-the-shelf fonts accessible by all. But now, to sit alongside our digital tapestry, the club and SomeOne have produced a bespoke typeface known as ‘Norwich Weave’. It's distinct, ownable and impactful, particularly In large scale formats. For the first time, It also allows the club the option to use an additional font on our back-of-shirt during friendlies and in cup competitions. Fans will also be able to personalise their 2022/23 replica kits with this unique font. Summary; you're wearing another club's stadium's decoration on your home kit for no reason other than that Joma consider you diddies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I don't think it's brilliant but I prefer it to last years. I'll be saving my cash for the red top anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride of Fife Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Don’t mind it at all, neck probably not to my taste and went a bit overboard with patterns on shoulder but overall quite nice. As I’ve said since Covid, doesn’t matter to me cause I’m too fat to be sporting a fitba top anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always next quarter Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 TBH club won't give a hoot about written feedback. The cash register is all that matters and I bet it shifts huge numbers. Good detail on the Norwich design, not that it matters one bit. Different had it been a rival club or even a Scottish one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joma have got form for lumbering us with cast off Norwich designs - the pinstripe one from two seasons ago being a case in point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish we weren’t joma but don’t see it changing anytime soon, doesn’t look like a promotion winning kit, needs white shorts imo, ah well here’s hoping they bring out the 91/93 tops as retro this season, will happily buy both and fill them well as well Edited July 4 by Been going too long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
