And we'll need different shorts when we visit bury.
Oh!
Seriously, though, the shorts should have been white and I'd love to know what reasoning made them blue.
But otherwise I quite like them and hope they are a sign of us drifting away from the stripes.
The issue with something like this is that you'll never please everyone, but the aim has to be to please the majority. |  |

The away kit isn't too bad but the home kit is disgusting. Is the person who decided to have blue shorts with a blue shirt blind? |  | | |

Don't mind them. Better than this seasons.
Do we have to have that chavtastic Jd logo on the back? I'll actually be pleased when it peels off in the wash. |  |

If we wanted to please the majority we'd have had a vote rather than the board deciding they want a change (though they may change their mind again next season).
Stripes or no stripes we need to stick with something! |  | | |

I quite like both. I agree with the plain comments, but, overall, yeah, not too bad. When are the chevrons coming back though?  |  |

There is that, but last year's majority vote saw us end up with the two shirts we've just had, which weren't really universally popular, the white shirt in particular.
The issue there wasn't the vote; it was the options presented for that vote. [Post edited 9 May 2014 20:18]

Sad we've lost the stripes but they are very nice shirts. Black shorts with the blue kit for me. |  |

The red logo ruins both shirts for me.
Looks like Spurs will be suffering from the same problem with their shirts for next season as well! Ah well - a few more retro ones to be added to the collection instead I think. |  |

Love both shirts! Will definitely be buying the Home shirt. |  |

Never was a big fan of the blue and black stripe. Nothing wrong with this kit, just very plain. Might buy one at cut price. |  | | |

Can I just add that I'm quite fond of the red sponsor logo on blue background. I'm not 100% sure that it's exclusive to Rochdale, but it stands out a mile off and is very easy to identify. Looks good to me. |  |

It's a definite no from me. Boring and we'll look just like every other blue-shirted team in the Football League.
The only good thing to come from this is 442's suggestion that the Trust is asking for the fans to be involved in future. [Post edited 10 May 2014 1:09]

Not a fan of the "JD King of Trainers" on the back though. |
It probably brings in a fair few quid though.

Away kit is good but I'm not a fan of the home kit.
Unfortunately not a fan of Fila due to quality of materials. |  |

The fans chose the last kits technically and look how that turned out? Fair enough the choices weren't great but these kits are a million times better than last seasons. |  |

As yourself and TVOS correctly say, the choices were poor. And as that was pointed out at the time, it doesn't mean fans shouldn't be involved in the process for choosing kits. A vote is only a part of that process.
The club have made good choices over the years, getting the customer base involved properly can only improve those choices. Same with all the merchandise, shirts are only a part of it.
And while I can see Shun's point about a plain blue shirt, we have at least adhered to the blue & black colour scheme. Also, now that the goalposts have been shifted away from stripes there is a real opportunity to take this further..... [Post edited 9 May 2014 23:39]

Been done to death but the last kits were always going to be crap because of the bunch we had to choose from (I do quite like the home one though). 442 and a few others came up with great kit designs last year, all of which I'd happily buy, I just don't see why they have been completely ignored in the design process given the positive feedback which they attracted.
To go with a kit design based on Dunphy thinking it looked good in training just seems lazy to me. There are a few on here that love the kit, and whilst you're never going to please everyone most of the comments seem to be along the lines of 'it's better than last years effort' which many may think- but it doesn't mean they're going to buy it and that's the most important thing. |  | | |
