i do feel the club and everyone should be applauded for allowing us the opportunity to choose a shirt design.i remember somebody saying when a shirt is designed these days you just dont picture what the team look like in it but what the supporters would look like wearing it also, for example does it go with jeans.(Answer for G = NO) the club and supporters should really think hard, it might look an ok design but would many buy it. i was not the first on here to say about the conspiracy to split the vote on 6 similar shirts and one different one PICTURED ON ITS OWN by the way,that started earlier in post i was just agreeing.i may be a little bit harsh about shirt G there is no doubt it was very popular in 91. but the fact is we have had it twice now already.this is a chance to try something a bit different. i was never a big fan of G but contrary to some criticism i dont mind a shirt with a collar. i just dont get the whole yellow and white thing. WE ARE YELLOW/GOLD AND BLUE. what irks me most is when we have dolloped white in the kit at random. what the hell is going on with white socks and the rest of the kit yellow.like i said earlier it looks like we have forgotten our socks and borrowed a set.as before if we insist on yellow,blue and white why not a brazil style kit.could be a good commercial move and would look a lot smarter.SO DOES ANYBODY ELSE THINK A BRAZIL KIT WOULD BE GOOD?

the other time we wore stripes was the season we finished rock bottom and were saved by stevenage not having an up to standard ground. those stripes were blue and yellow though.

although i read this site a lot i have'nt posted a message in a very long time but this is a subject that really winds me up. our teams shirt is always a symbol of our identity,a representation of the club and also a big commercial opportunity for our club. I have felt that we have not had a decent home shirt for years,in fact most have been appalling. here is a chance to actually have a say and choose what we want for a change.i cannot believe so many are choosing G. we have had this kit twice already and both times then it wasn't great.i didnt rate it in 91 and even bought the purple and white shirt instead. definitely there is a feeling of rose tinted glasses for some because of the 91" play off final. don't forget though the following year it was our home shirt and we were relegated. the year after that we were poor also. when the kit got ressurected about 12 years ago im sure we had a rubbish time as well.wasn't it the home shirt during the season we had our last day "great escape" at barnet.i am 37 by the way.we need to have something new.something smart like f or different like c. there is definitely a conspiracy having 6 similar designs to split the vote and one completely different.G is even put on its own away from the others in the paper.the club are always likely to have what they want.as for the rest of the kit don't even get me started.absolutely sick of looking at all yellow. with blue shorts it looks smarter and breaks up the yellow just right. and whoever thinks that putting white in there somewhere looks alright they need to have their eyes tested.every time we have added a bit of white in it just does not look right. it likes like a really tacky kit from some of those obscure teams in the europa league. we are yellow/gold and blue and thats it. why are we wearing white socks this season, with the rest of the kit yellow it looks dreadful. it makes our kit look like one of the worst in the league.it looks like no thought has gone into it and the kit has been chucked together. it looks like we have forgotten our correct socks and had to borrow a set last minute . if we insist on white in our kit then at least for maybe commercial, publicity and novelty value we should go for a brazil kit, yellow shirt,blue shorts and white socks. if we did have a brazil i would then suggest shirt A or B.just picture it and you will get what i mean.please everybody vote sensibly.would you actually buy and wear G. I voted F
