New Kit
« on: August 16, 2020, 02:33:22 PM »

What does everyone think?

Although I respect the reasoning behind it, I'm afraid I'm gutted the stripes have gone.

Think that's the first time I've disliked ALL our kits 😲

Won't stop me supporting the Super Robins but, for once I certainly won't be getting a shirt. 🙄





PS : I loved our current one! 😢

Well, I'm glad it's a bit different. My son absolutely loves it too. Hope the away kit is like the one we wore at York in the cup.

Awful awful awful. What happened to red and white stripes?  ??? And what happened to the fans voting for the kit they want?

That's awful. We should be in red and white striped shirts and red shorts and socks.

I must be honest, the original 85/86 kit of one stripe was never a favourite of mine but at least the white isn't as wide as the 80s version.

I kind of like it from an aesthetic sense. I'm not sure it's "Alty" but if there's a historic precedent for it, I can live with it.

I like it!  Looks fresh, modern and the one stripe looks ace.
A definitely step up in kits and will make us look class next Season.  Looks a lot more professional than previous shirts.
Will definitely be buying.

I think the real historical precedent it's that we binned it and returned to our Alty self with stripes!


As PCL says, above, the current kit is our true identity

I like it; we have deviated from the traditional stripes on occasions every so often down the years so don’t have a problem with it. The new online shop is a Great Leap Forward also

As many of you know we make merchandise, so when we create stuff it's hard to create Altrincham stuf that goes beyond just red and white stripes stuff. This fresh one stripe  hopefully will inspire some new merchandise from the club.

It shouldn't go unnoticed that the club sponsors logos (sleeves/back), th have been tweaked too, the JD logo looks better and small.

Add in a proper kit launch rather than AJ in the sports hall.

Everything about it just feels more professional.

Well done to all involved 👍
