Can't believe people giving TF grief over this after the week we've just had, at least at the worst possible scenario there's a couple of complete hoops on it, he's explained it's not ideal but ffs we are 147 million in debt and Nike are supposedly making a big dent in that, moan next year if they get it wrong but not this one. |  |

If we need the money that bad, then we need the money that bad.
But i think you could make the argument it is very much like what Cardiff did, albeit only for one season.
I don't see what difference promotion makes to losing your kit.
I'm happy playing in the top leagues, or the lower. I've seen both, not that bothered which to be honest. If that's the most stupid thing ever written on this message board, well i'm surprised, probably disappointed. But fcuk it, i've got broad enough shoulders to live with it. |  | | |

Agreed. I have got over my immediate fury of picking a kit from a catalog, and now just see it as money in the bank. Yes it does pain me to see the clubs heritage lost for a season, but its not changing now so as long as it is sorted for next season that's what matters.
Main goal has now got to be lowering that debt and bringing in a good young squad. If the money from Nike helps us do that, then i can live with it for a season. The point about Cardiff also makes me think it could be a lot worse! |  |

The kit is crap but the club have been pretty open about it not being what they want and explained why, you can't ask for much more really. I'm sure we can cope for one season, the away ones are alright |  | | |

Agreed Dave. Some of the "outrage" on here is frankly laughable... |  | | |

gave up on the modern shirts years ago. Got me a classic Guinness one and it's great. Couldn't really give a fig about the kit launches tbh. Even if they got it 'right' hundreds would still hate it. |  |

I'm furious. The old shirts in the70's (well one variant) had players that took us to second in the league, These shirts haven't even got a point yet.
Disgusting and anyone who argues is a mug. (or a princess who lays tomorrows clothes out the night before  |  | | |

We'll never score another goal in that kit, a fcking baboon with a hoop allergy could work that out. |  |

Indeed. Most of the reflexive outrage seems to based on it looking like Reading. It's not, but even if it were so what? Do Manchester United fans worry about having the same shirts as Accrington Stanley? I sincerely doubt it. Defining yourself in terms of another club is the definition of insecurity. It's clear, clean, uncluttered and the right shade of blue.
The AC Milan away kit OTOH is pants. [Post edited 27 May 2014 19:21]

the idea I presume is to sell shirts, don't look to me that they are going to fly of the shelf | | | |

It seems to me the Nike have said, well Tone, we've got a few hoopy style shirts in our back catalogue, will you make do with these for a year and then next year will give it 5 minutes thought? |  |

Yup, you could, but it would be an extremely weak argument, and you would lose. |  | | |

Hmmm, let's examine the facts there.
Cardiff swapped blue kit for red kit for more money.
QPR swap the hooped kit for a non hooped kit for more money.
Yes, i've clearly lost that argument oh all wise guru. Lmfao at the hypocrisy and stupidity of it all. | | | |

But there are still hoops from the white patch down. Not ideal but hoops none the less | |

That's fine. We get it. You don't like the kit. But if it's a choice between £40 million in the bank or you not turning up to watch I suspect they'd only be one winner. |  | | |

I saw the kits yesterday and thought "They look a bit naff. Oh well"
Come on here this morning to see we're apparently the new Cardiff. Colour me confused.
Never been a big fan of the thinner hoops, but are people make this fuss because it has a white box on the back for the number? Hardly Cardiff. |  | | |

Maybe the idea is not to sell QPR shirts to QPR fans (lets face it, small market) but by having this style of kit exposed around Wolrd TV, people will go out and buy the generic nike hooped kit for their sunday teams. |  | | |

That's exactly the idea. There's no way Nike are going to invest that sort of money to sell a few thousand shirts to us. This is about global branding and global sales. | | | |
