As I read it and I could be wrong we were complying with NEW rules, new rules that didn't happen and WE / Nike didn't change the kits in time. ) Obviously other clubs did seeing what's been launched thus far) Begs a question of can we see what was submitted and allegedly rejected (if at all) That's how I read it but I could be wrong...
At our 2014 summer AGM our clubs agreed that a Rule should be drafted to make shirt numbers more visible. This followed complaints that numbers on some shirts were unclear. Time was then taken to establish guidelines, and we understand that QPR’s kit designs for 2015/16 were finalised and in production during this period.
Ultimately, once the guidelines were established, clubs decided against the Rule at a later point in the 2014/15 season. Work is continuing to research and develop further options for our clubs to consider.
I hope this helps to explain the position.
Kind regards
Tommy

If true then it shows our club was not only out of touch with the fans but also the premier league. I also cannot believe that a manufacturing behemoth such as NIKE needs such lead time to design and manufacture kits, we arent Man Utd/Liverpool/Barca/Madrid - how many actual shirts do we sell and stock? Im sure its not that many. |  | | |

It certainly shows that the club knew for a long time that we were going to lose the hoops.
Although it turned out that we never needed to. [Post edited 2 Jul 2015 12:38]

I presume you will let Taylor know so he can refute it with more lies? So QPR are actually just shit at designing kits for their customers (face it, we aren't viewed as supporters).
It then comes down to simple supply and demand. I won't buy one, I will instead get a nice retro one from these people;

Yes and no.
It shows that it was indeed the original source of the decision (i.e. they didn't ignore the fans), but makes it very clear that it's the e clubs fault -either bybnot being quick enough to make changes or agreeing to a contract with draconian lead times on manufacturing in the first place.
Essentially, incompetence, not unwillingness to listen (not sure which is worse)
But Nike are coming out of this like cnts. In a 4 year contract (?) Qpr weren't able to design the shirt they wanted for the first 2 years. Unacceptable. |  | | |

One thing that gets me.
IF the club had gone "f'ing hell supporters we may lose the hoops!" rather than keeping schtum..well..oh i dunno. I never know what to believe anymore, especially from our club. It's just all spin, utter BS and broken promises. Over and over and over again.

I have just had it confirmed from a Rep who works for Nike that all of QPR's kit for next season is the off the shelf Precision III or uses the template. The back of the shirt will never have hoops on it as the material is only ever one colour. It would have cost too much to change the material used just to put hops on the back panel . This has nothing to do with the non existent Premier League Rule but more to do with cost & the fact that we are not seen by Nike as a primary club such as Barcelona who get a bespoke kit. |  | | |

I followed up with a thank you.
Got this...
"Any major changes to Premier League Rules require the consensus approval of our member clubs, and are ultimately agreed at scheduled shareholder meetings. It’s not really for me to comment on QPR’s kit selections, which of course are a matter for the club" | | | |

I got pretty much the same email this morning from the PL
I have replied asking for specifics on dates and the draft rule but its clear that at the time of the kits submission there were no rules in place stopping us from having hoops, whatever the exact rules were that were REJECTED by the clubs these were laid down after the submission
So by any measure that i understand there was no reason as far as the PL were concerned that stopped us having hooped shirts. QPR and Nike between them simply appear to have agreed on a design with a plain back.
Hugely disappointed with the club over this and screw Nike I wont be buying any replica shirts from them unless they produce one with hoops that go all the way round |  | | |

While Ian Taylor et al do a great job of PRing QPR they can only work with whatever tombola pick Fernandes and his team happen on when pressured to justify their consistently bad management of the club. Why would we be the only club to comply with these non-existent rules while everyone else waited and then moved on? It's just poor, poor judgement from the top. | | | |

I don't think Ian Taylor should be blamed at all, this comes from the CEO and the Chairmen who need to do a lot more | | | |

Oh yeah I forgot we had "Nikes entire team that were at Arsenal working on it" (or words similar)
Plus this
Chief executive Philip Beard added: “Nike’s unparalleled research and development capacity, leading global retail distribution networks and award winning marketing capabilities mean that this is a very important step forward in the evolution of the club." |
Yes, that was the quote I was thinking of Scott. | |

Everyone likes a scape goat at QPR... he is the latest. I think they do a great job with what they have. Feel sorry that he gets dog ends abuse from some when he is only the messenger | | | |

I don't see the point of abusing Ian Taylor, but he sometimes has the job of justifying the unjustifiable and sometimes the necessary BS to do that understandably winds some people up. |  |
