I am really disappointed with the kits, but I'm absolutely furious about the lies.
I hope this video covers the whole story. If you don't think it's that important, feel free to ignore it, but if you're bothered either by the kits or the lies or both then please help make some noise about it.
Cheers

Perhaps a cup run lasting more than one round?
Above all being entertained.
I'll happily accept being humiliatingly dumped out of each cup in our first appearance if we can run away with the league and have wrapped up as champions by April.

I'm 32 and I do question my sanity a little when moaning about the kit. But honestly, this is our identity...this is what associates the football world with Qpr, this is what differentiates us from Reading...and what gets me most of all is it's not hard to get right it's effing straight forward. it's been done for years.
I sit in the SAR.
When the team come out into the pitch prior to kick off all I will see is either Everton , Chesterfield or Oldham bloody athletic, not to mention the C word .
I have to wait for them to turn around before I get to see hoops.
Pathetic half hearted shirt.
I expect an air Asia or another large sponsor logo is destined for the lower part of the panel.

We should play in the nude.
My god, what an image! I thought we wanted to increase the size of our home attendances init?? If we played in pink birthday suits, it might attract the girls and the gays and Holloway, the rest would surely be violently ill.......
this not about lies..this is about a club trying not to go under..not a fan of the new kit but it's a sponsor thing...if you can match what they give us step up to the plate..or live with it..sorry this is 2015 money talks

I agree but my point was perspective. Daniel Norris got the design spot on, he absolutely nailed it but the club doesn't listen to the fans. Dan Norris knew QPR blue and how to design the shirt but he's not a lazy Nike designer, if indeed they do have designers?
Perspective however is that you don't have to buy this kit. Like others have said there are the Guiness retro kits, the 70s kits.
Why spend £40 on crap when you can spend £30 on class.
My overall point is buy that one. It's QPR. However, what the club has failed to do and seem to be trying to resolve is getting back to delivering the product on the pitch. The team that attacks and is solid at the back. That plays with flair, heart, sweat and blood.
That's what I want from my QPR and I want to see it every week in a team that actually takes pride in the club and the fans.
The bottom line is you don't have to buy the new kit every year. It's just a con anyway. It only used to change once every 4 or 5 years anyway. Now it's just a con to get money out of the fans. So... if you want a great QPR shirt go to somewhere like Kitbag and buy that one.
If enough fans turned up wearing this shirt they might get the message. Perhaps some enterprising person could sell them outside the club shop!

Our heritage, the hoops whatever , have not been deleted forever. Next season our kits are a bit crap. So what they've been crap loads of times. Can we not just chill and support the team?
Being upset that the hops have gone and supporting the team are different, of course people will support the team

Do you think we might be overreacting a little bit?
depends on what matters. Yes it's only a kit but it's also our identity and what makes QPR unique. Going away from that in just a small way is just another example of the club not really having a clue and not caring enough about the club. The attitude of well it's only a kit what does it matter goes through the club. Not enough care and due diligence goes into any decision from small things like the kit to bigger things like signing players and filing the correct paper work when signing players.
I don't think the club have lied about it I just think they hit an obstacle and didn't care enough to find a solution and that doesn't sit well with me.

to me this does not necessarily need to be an issue. Let the team wear what they "have to wear". with the patch on the back
But also produce the new team shirt for us fans to purchase (fans shirt)....with the red collar, blue sleeves, red pin stripe but with hoops all the way round.
They would maximise the "sellability"..some will by the team shirt, some will buy the fans shirt, some will by both and Saxbend will buy neither

Thats exactly the problem, we're not Man Utd so what does it mater. Thats the attitude at the club, we're only QPR, we should just be grateful to be breathing.

The last four years have been rocky. Since the end of season we have, in my opinion, started making all the right moves and bringing back the club I have followed for nearly forty years. Youngsters progressing from the youth set up. Young hungry players being brought in. Mercenaries let go. A proper pre-season announced early. The coaching staff being recruited who understand what QPR is about etc
Dare I say it, but this seasons shirt is better than lasts. It doesnt look so bad on the back once name and number is on there. Can I live with that for one season, even if we have been lied to? Hell yes.
This forthcoming season has me really excited for no rhyme or reason. If we can compete well in the championship and play entertaining football, then I will be more than delighted
Saxbend. You are one of the characters that make this a great club to follow. We have a great eclectic band of fans. You are probably right that we have been lied to. My feeling is that you get used to it and look forward to seeing what CR. Les and Gallen can serve up for the new season. It would be a shame if this cock up ruins it for you

Dave thats a great post , i agree with all of it apart from the bit about the club not telling porkies!

Yeah the new kit is sh1t but f you don't like it then don't buy it. Not sure why anyone over the age of 16 would want to buy a replica football kit anyway.
It's a bit embarrassing seeing grown men throw their toys out the pram because the kit doesn't have proper hoops!
