Stan Bo Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 While we are on kits.....anyone that's bought the new macron home kit can you let me know what the fit is like. Or is it the same as Joma? As mentioned above I have 2 kids new away tops to buy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything you simply back up my point. I am saying it is corporate ignorance that is driving that tired old trope, and that we shouldn't use it like that. You can't accuse me of supporting a worldview that in several posts I have railed against. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the club wanted try something different? Or Macron have said pink is a decent seller so we want it included in the away top? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one other person/entity involved in the production of the kit has said the use of pink is about inclusion. You are the one saying it's about that. If you can't see that, then that's fine, we can leave it there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not "made up" the reason, I genuinely believe that is the reason it's being used. I am allowed to have that opinion. Do I have evidence of that? No, just circumstantial. Equally do you have evidence that when discussing it there was no mention of using pink for a reason or the acceptance that Macron have highly paid consultants to gauge the value and impact of certain colours. You don't so if it's fair for you to say "I've made it up", then the same must apply for your counter argument. Just to confirm I am not belittling the club here, they make a marketing decision and it's based on a number of factors. I don't dislike the shirt, I'm not claiming "all this is political correctness gone mad". 8 minutes ago, TPAFKA Jersey 2 said: The point is mate YOU are the one "driving the tired old trope".

We'll need to leave it at that, because my cynicism combined with your inability to accept that in modern culture, whether we like it or not, there are associations with colours, means it's unlikely we will agree.

Captain_Sensible Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) All to do with inclusiveness, nothing to do with inclusiveness….. it doesn’t really matter its fecking horrible, that’s what matters!

flyingscot Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 I think it's fine. As long as the home kit is black and white stripes, I don't really care that much about the away one as long as it looks nice! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a little surprised at the push back but ultimately this will all be forgotten soon enough. 5 minutes ago, Captain_Sensible said: its fecking horrible, that’s what matters! I think it might grow on me once I've seen it in the flesh. The question, though, is it worse than the JD Sports horrors? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 This is the pinkest the away top has been since the....erm.....the last pink away top. There's really nothing deeper to it than that. It's a fucking colour on a fucking football top. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 Well, at least we know he’s still alive! Profile on the website has been updated. Imagine after all the chat he’s just been given an extra couple of weeks off 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Div said: Profile on the website has been updated. That does suggest he's maybe not 100% out the door. It's also the new (training) strip so it's not like he's had no contact with the club over this time. (edit: ..or it's a very cheeky photoshop) I really hope they can get something over the line, even if it means a wee bit of a boost in the wages. I know that this all seems like his fault, and we shouldn't reward him for it, there is no doubting what he is worth to us. I know I fucked off a few people off by being so harsh on Hemming, and I get that, I should have written my comment differently, but there is no doubt Carson is the better keeper and I'd love him to stay another season at least.

Captain_Sensible Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) Re Carson, as @Ric says, its the new training top so this looks encouraging.

Anything was going to be a bit of a comedown after last seasons blockbuster away kit but it’s a decent enough effort. if only the badge had been left alone it would be fine, but because it isn't then it ain't fine, a pink badge? yer having a larf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought the main sponsor (DB) would be on them, but clearly not. I'd be interested to know of anyone has used bartercard because their website text is like chatGPT bingo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
