Time to get shirty again

The club are running an amusing Twitter competition where you can vote for old Poppies kits in a knock-out format, so we will end up being left with a definitive "favourite" shirt.

In just the second round, the biggest of big guns has entered the fray.  The 2017-18 away kit.

Best home shirt,
manfully filled by Rene
To my mind the these are the best home and away kits made readily available for the unwashed masses.  By all means, continue to vote in the competition.  Just know, that if you choose any other kits you are simply wrong.  And probably a closet Direones fan to boot....

This home kit has everything, good collar, great design, well proportioned and separate badge / logo sections.  And, most importantly it has a flattering hoop configuration rather than the tubby-inducing stripes.  As amply demonstrated by the equally ample Mr Howe.

But, the best away kit, and to my mind the best shirt we've produced is the drop dead gorgeous 2017-2018 kit, here modelled by spring-heeled dwarf, Dion Kelly-Evans.   The few times this shirt was combined with red shirts and socks was the closest I ever came to coming out of the closet!  Curiously I don't rate the home version of this kit at all.

For my money this is the most damnably sexy shirt in the history of football.  Not that it got any of my money. Along with 90% of our fans I'm far too lardy to successfully wear this most fabulous of tops.


....and the winner is

  1. Im glad that our little feature is getting press attention so soon after starting up. Im sure by next week we'll have found another shirt to rival your love for the white away strip.
