Agree, a walking advert. You might as well just put a box around Unibet. Instead of a white band, a white sponsor's box. Oh for the old days of proper shirts without a business tie-in.It's not a band. It's an upper and lower horizontal 'stripe' framing and accentuating the sponsor's logo. Horrible!
I'm sensing a recurring theme here, grumpy middle aged men slag off something which they aren't the target market for. It's the same every single year. You may as well be passing comment on the latest crotchless panties in the Anne Summers catalogue as the vast majority of you won't be buying them to wear either.
It's ok, I like the sleeve and collar detailing (but they aren't really traditional Boro so not what you'd expect on a Boro kit, but they look nice). However, the sponsor kills it by having too much text (but we all said the same last year too). But as above it doesn't matter what we all think as the kids will like it and it'll sell out.
Like others have said I care more about the team on the pitch than the kit.
More importantly, does anyone else think Carrick is looking a lot like Rob Edwards since we've returned to Rockliffe??
Really? As a kid I just wanted the latest kit to show my support for Boro, I wasn't all together fussed what it looked like. I can remember plenty of Adults slagging off the kit design or quality of materials when I wore Boro kits as a kid, but I didn't care, I had the Boro kit that my heroes were wearing and that's all that mattered.I’m pretty confident that I would have thought it was total ***** even as a kid.
No, both are training tops.
