I'd definitely wear my ACC kit much more often if it looked something like that - but my taste isn't everyone's. Nothing seems to divide opinion in the club more (see previous posts on this topic ad nauseam). Even if we were to get the design changed there's no chance of pleasing all club members: what I'd be happy to wear, someone else might hate. Add in the expense of replacing perfectly good - even new - kit, and the motley appearance of the club run while the changeover takes effect... It seems too big a problem.

The present design coincided with the membership boom, making any change now far more difficult to manage. I think it was looking dated 5 years ago, was a colossal missed opportunity - is plain ugly. But that's just me, and I think I'm in a minority.

What do you make of this then - surely it's not a secret anymore?

Can I be the first to moan about having just bought everything and blah, blah, blah ...

Looks nice. Will it be ready in time for me to get a long-sleeved top for Tom?

I like that more, though think the oversized lettering would date quickly - a bit like the 'www' gubbins on my current ACC tops. Without being too Gok-like, I'm not 'loving' the off-centredness of the vertical band at the front either. Sorry. An improvement, though.

Looks great, I like the asymmetric stripe and the positioning of the badge!
A huge step forward! Now lets see the bibs

[quote="Sean Hogan"]....Most members here I'm guessing make a lot more money than the average ACC member and compared to other costs here SGD$135 (about 60 squid) ain't alot. The next time I'm over and hopefully ride the CR this the kit I'll wear ;-)Sean

Just to be clear, it's not my design (though I think I suggested the "BMC-esque" vertical lettering, so you can blame me for this if you don't like it ..). But credit for launching this process and putting it into action has to go to someone else .. (I'll wait for them to post).

Sorry if I posted this too early, I thought it was at an advanced enough stage already, but not going to committee meetings anymore I could be wrong.

Design has been through several iterations so no point everyone asking for amendments (remember what happened last few times this was discussed on the forum? that's right, nothing in the end). So the point which I liked about this time was to come up with a finalised design and product and present it to the club.

As I understand there is a test run of about 10 sets of jerseys/shorts that are currently awaited. And the Club Captain likes it :D
