Unbelievable. How can Beard and his Merry Men be prepared to give total freedom to Nike to choose the kit without ANY rights of veto. Don't they understand the brand they are trying to sell. The clue is in the word 'superHOOPS'. They still don't get it , do they.
What a comedown after Saturday. Pathetic. |  | | |  |

Firstly, is it really that big a deal? Not to me.
Secondly, I doubt it does the "brand" any harm. It will piss us off to varying extents but we're not really the target market. |  | | |

Not bad business to get Nike to pay £42m for the privilege though. |  | | |

It's bad business on Nikes part cos if they had done the proper hoops with the fans still being on high from the promotion they would have sold thousands b4 the premier league started ,I would be very surprised if they sold very many of this design although I don't mind the white one it is a matter of taste I suppose but the home shirt is our identity . |  | | |

Fuk knows. I doubt a kid in Shanghai or Moscow cares if the hoops go all the way. I don't know why they would want a QPR shirt in the first place but for £42m they must have some idea. If it's just a case of getting the Nike tick on TV even more then what difference if on a cheap, generic design or a relatively expensive unique one? | | | |

I don't understand how *anyone* can be on a comedown from Saturday over a f*cking kit, and one with heavy mitigation to boot.
I don't like the new kits, but i'm still over the f*cking moon - I saw my team win at Wembley on Saturday! |  |

Yep me too Jeff, just sorry we'll be turning out in the worst 'hoops' ever. |  | | |

Seriously? Take a breath. Its OK. The kits this year are a bit naff. Having hoops that don't go all the way round is a cardinal sin. Any fan could have told you that. Unfortunately, nobody asked the fans. The striped away kit is just terrible and the white is OK but, well, it aint really us, is it? That is all true. But it is hardly the end of the world. Nike must have some sort of plan but that is their problem not ours. They have given us a boatload of cash (apparently) and that is important, given our precarious financial situation. If you don't like the kit design don't buy one. If nobody buys it, then they will make it better next time round (presumably).
Nothing can take away from winning at Wembley and certainly not a kit design that is kinda crap. |  |

For those feeling completely let down by the club, it might be worth bearing in mind that this kit would have been revealed today, whether we had gone up or not.
Whether we like it or not, this deal is there to finance the clubs future
Who will buy it. I am sure, if I get the chance to take my sons to an away game, they will all have one of the away kits. I will let them choose.
This is their club. They want to wear the kit their heroes wear. It doesnt make the shirts any better, but their minds are still young and impressionable |  | | |

QPR get paid either way. makes no difference how many shirts they sell. Nike have already paid the 40 million. |  |

They ARE businessmen.
With all the bullsh*t and red tape involved in ANYTHING corporate these days, there's a good chance that the new kit design process takes about 6 months from start to finish. Yes, that's ridiculous, but it could very easily be true.
If QPR were offered the chance to get 42m over 5 years with a template kit in year 1, or say 40m over 5 years with all 5 years fully customized (like a "rush fee" on anything you'd buy online) then what would you do?
Personally, I think take the extra and invest it.
Or, to your point... acting like businessmen |  | | |

The way people start new threads just to give a rant that could go on one of the other threads.
I actually think that might be a worse thing than any of those 3 shirts. |  | | |

Understand the dissatisfaction but people seriously need to take a look at the money other clubs are getting for their kits. £9m a year is very, very generous money for a club in our position and puts us above half the league at least. By comparison Spurs get 10m, Juventus get 11m, Milan get 12m, the flipping champions Man City get 12m. None of these are exactly newly promoted clubs who notoriously ballsed up their two recent years in the spotlight.
If we were getting peanuts for the pleasure I'd be angry too. But provided it's only one year as promised then I'll take the hit. It's cheap and nasty but it's not a disaster at the end of the day. |  | | |

Agreed.
Not only that but also moan that our owners aren't businessmen after signing a deal worth more than next season's total ticket sales. F*cking useless idiots aren't they? |  | | |

Isn't it just like a sponsor for nike? Nothing really to do with sales of our shirt. |  |

Think the way it usually works is that the club make money on what they sell from the club shop (which they receive at a discount and therefore make more on a higher mark up than retail stores). The kit supplier receives all sales profits elsewhere hence why the deals are so big.
So in short Nike are the poor businessmen here, and if anyone does like the kit they should buy it from the club. | | | |

Yeah I don't get it either.
The shirts change every year.
The badge every now and then.
I don't get the hysteria.

I don't particularly like the new kits but looking back we haven't always got it right. What really matters now is our transfer policy this close season because we need to stay in the Premier League long term.
My kid will still want a shirt whatever it looks like and I suggest that most will be the same.
Roll on next season when we are still in the Prem and Nike have designed a beauty for us..

Would everybody talking about the kits without any bearing of perspective please shut the fck up. It's boring and well over the top.
If you want an explanation, listen to the QPR podcast where Fernandes tells everybody why and what he plans to do to rectify it for next year. |  |
