Is it time to update the kit again?

[sonic909]

£200?

Where are you buying your kit from?!

[sonic909]

Also do we have access to a blueprint for the kit... i would love to throw a few designs into the mix even if it was only for inspiration...?

A pair of bib shorts and s/s club shirt is getting on for £90 to £100 then add on a long sleeved shirt and possibly a windproof gillet and your getting near the £200 mark. Of course you can buy as little or as much as you like but most people who do buy the kit seem to have an average of 2 items. Personally i really dont mind if it gets changed then ill look like one of the older members and not a newbie anymore. Mind you by the time it gets discussed, designed argued about re- designed agreed,quotations obtained, re-designed again, samples ordered made and sent , viewed ,possibly liked/ not liked ,re-designed again, samples viewed again and finally stock levels and pricing for members and orders finally being taken my kit will most probably need replacing.

Thinking about it my black and yellow ionos was £149....

Ok.. i take that back, but whats £200+ of kit when most rigs cost 2k.

[quote="Grahame"][quote="Marcus"] There are no reasons why there cannot be women specific colours / design or if they are to be re-designed then input from the ladies would makesure they have no excuses for not wearing them.

Is it just the colours which are registered, or is it the actual kit?

Put another way, if we had a new kit in the same colours* would people still be able to race in the old kit or would they be forced to fork out for a new one?

*If gold, black and white was good enough for Mills and Paul (and many others over the past 90 years), it's good enough for me.

As we all know the club colours are yellow (gold), black and white, so does yellow have to be the dominant colour in the jersey or , as Sean, suggests, would a mainly white top with bits of yellow and black still fulfil the requirements?, after all there is really little white in the jerseys at the moment, time to reverse the situation? Also do you need to upgrade the kit, do you have to race in the latest design or is it just the colours that are important, I see people wearing the old style top still, a new design wouldn't mean people having to spend £200 on new kit (I've only got one jersey anyway, for racing)? And better yet it would be a subtle way of indicating that you've been in the club a long time by wearing the ("soon-to-be")old design.

I'll be keeping my old jersey anyway and wearing the usual plain black shorts in summer and bib tights in winter.

Also, how come Mike Ingram and Andrew have much bigger faces than me and Kieran on this thread?

Sod the kit I want a bigger face

[kieran]

yea, aren't they breaking the rules for picture size? unless their pixels are bigger than ours! MARCO! sort'em out, fine'em!!

[Andrew G]

Just the maximum size. Is your face square? If not then it will only go to the maximum in one direction.

[Mike I]

I haven't got a big face, just short arms.

While the only official requirement is to use the colours gold, white and black, I think in the past there has also been a more vague idea to have gold, white and black hoops somewhere on the jersey.

The current kit and any old kits that I have seen have had white, black and yellow hoops somewhere (i.e.) current kit has white hoop bordered by black hoops on a yellow background on the arms, Mills and Paul version has similar hoops but around the body of the jersey.
