My thoughts?
One is an Alty kit and one is a Kettering kit.
-
These were in the bar on tuesday, and from what i heard of peoples comments were "where are the stripes?"
The "kettering one" looks like a training top imo...but its a bit different
Im split
One one side i like our current kit, but a change is always good ???
-
I signed up to Ken McKenna's red and white army...
-
I signed up to Ken McKenna's red and white army...
that made me chuckle...
tbh i was hoping (despite us changing in the summer) of the chance of a new away kit...im not too fond of the white away kit
-
Not a fan of either to be honest.
The Klattering one is a no no for sure
-
WE ARE RED AND WHITE STRIPES.........END OF >:(
-
Red and White stripes of course!
I like the thicker red and white stripes, like our last home kit. I really don't like that collar though...
-
No brainer - RED & WHITE stripes all the way for me :)
-
THOSE SHIRTS ARE BLOODY AWFUL.
WE SHOULD PLAY IN RED AND WHITE STRIPES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
The Kettering one is wank,simple as! I don't particularly like the other one much either but atleast it's red and white stripes!
-
well im going to be the odd one out up to now i like the red one with the stripes on the sleeve,looks nice.
-
There both pretty sh*te, all red one is completely pointless, and the red and white one isn't as good as our current so why change?
-
WHY THE CHANGE?
WE ARN'T RED HYDE UTD, GOING BUST BLUE HYDE.
-
The striped one is the best of a bad bunch
-
The striped one is the best of a bad bunch
You're aware its front and ack two kits I take it?
Another point is that whatever design we go for (are there others?) the sensports logo should not be bigger than the Alty badge!
-
Memories now of the red and black stripes of 89-90 and the utterly bizarre checkerboard effort the seasons before. Red and white stripes, bring back the kit from 90-91, all time classic.
-
I like the red one i don't think the picture does it justice having seen it last night
but i don't no if it would say Altrincham fc
I think the point of having some thing a bit different is to try and encourage more sales
-
I have to be honest and say both shirts are pretty poor.
The thicker striped shirt is very much like the kit from a few years ago but with this years collar.
I hope they DO NOT lose the stripes.
-
Obviously
-
The stripes have to say- I want to pick up a paper, look at the back, and see a photo that is instantly recognisable as Altrincham FC

maybe with black instead of dark navy.
-
If we're just naming kits that we like I'd like to go for the Nike version of Athletico Madrid's shirt:
(http://www.football-pro.co.uk/ekmps/shops/footballprouk/images/atletico-madrid-home-football-shirt-2010-2011-121-p.jpg)
-
Both of those options are woeful.
Bring back the red shorts.

Jimmy that is a lovely shirt. Just like my Estudiantes shirt.

I prefer us in white shorts and white socks.

I think that we did wear red & white quarters in the 40's/50's.

PLEASE TELL ME YOUR NOT SERIOUS. IM JUST GONNA ASSUME THIS SUGGESTION WAS FOR A LAFF!
id rather we brought back the orange one than this
-
Stripes.
End of !
-
One doesnt look much different to one we have now (agree that collar is not upto much). the other one is not an alty shirt. stripes all the way. red & black stripes for the away kit for me although I believe we have 1 more season with the white one ???
-
Bring back the kit of are finest hour, the Birmingham away ditty
-
Stripes, no doubt. First thing I thought about the red one was 'Droylsden'.
Bring back the yellow away kit.
-
Altrincham is Red and White stripes end of.
The Kettering kit is easier to wear on the street and beach though.
I would love to see us with red and white stripes with black piping again within the stripes.
-
red and white stripes.
-
Stick with the stripes
-
The second one is horrible. We have to stick with stripes if we want to keep our identity. The first one doesn't look that different from this season's shirt. I can't see many people that eager to buy it, the collar has to be changed, it looks dated. If you'r going to change a shirt then make sure it is one people will want to buy.
Something like this would be popular
http://www.myfootballtops.co.uk/index.php?main_page=popup_image&pID=596
-
I say we go retro. Love retro shirts.
-
I'm assuming that even the suggestion that we'd get rid of the stripes is a joke??? It's like Newcastle getting rid of the black and white stripes!
I think Sensports only have a small catalogue to choose from so it'd have to be the first one.
But really, if the club seriously think the red kit is an option then I despair... ::)
-
Can't believe the Kettering style one has even been proposed...
-

I Actually quite like this away strip.........
-
Can't believe the Kettering style one has even been proposed...
I know! I'm really annoyed about it!
-
Home strip has to have Red and White Stripes in it... Like the idea of Red shorts .......
-
No brainer - RED & WHITE stripes all the way for me :)
definitely

(http://www.football-pro.co.uk/ekmps/shops/footballprouk/images/atletico-madrid-home-football-shirt-2010-2011-121-p.jpg)
Both the kits on the main site are DISGUSTING!!
The Madrid shirt above with a retro feel and red shorts is the way to go.
-
STRIPES.
The other option is vile.
-
If the club are itching to mix things up and go for something different then experiment on our currently bland and ultimately depressing away kit.
-
It HAS TO BE RED & WHITE STRIPES - preferably in the good old-fashioned style (i.e. front AND back); black number in a white box on the back is best for readability, by the way. To suggest anything other than stripes destroys the playing identity of the club.
-
If we're just naming kits that we like I'd like to go for the Nike version of Athletico Madrid's shirt:
I also like this (and the fact I have the shirt already) or the Athletic Bilbao number (which I also have):
(http://www.worldfootballshirts.net/files/images/athlectic%20bilbao.jpg)
If it is indeed down to the two choices offered, than as many others have stated, it has to be the first one.....has to be the red and white stripes anything else is an abomination (there is no snickers, only marathon).
-
It has to be red and white stripes full stop.
-
Red and white stripes is a MUST HAVE
This years collar preferably too
Also wider stripes would be nice (They're slimming and I need all the help I can get!) :D
-
why is the question being asked?...red and white stripes no brainer!!!!!...seriously I can only imagine the kettering/droylsden kit is a wind up....
If the club want to make a lot of money on replica shirts then lets go for a top of the range brazil away kit.
That red flap at the back is very unflattering for anyone with love handles incidentally...obviously that wont affect me....
-
We can only choose from what is on the http://www.sensportkits.org.uk/index.php (http://www.sensportkits.org.uk/index.php) website. We don't have the money to get a bespoke kit.
-
The red one is clearly some sort of early April fool's joke.
Obviously Alty would not be Alty without the usual red and white stripes, but can we have the ludicrously ill fitting red shorts back. As long as they've been washed obviously.
-
Sorry to go against the grain but I like the red one.
-

Red shorts too would be nice; along with white socks with red and white striped turnovers at the top! (as it used to be!)
-

However, it would probably look better if the collar and side bits were white instead of black.
-

me to i like the red one.
-
I like the front of the red and white one and the back and sleeves of the plain red one .... , Mix and match :)
Always like kits with stripes on front and then plain on the back, the EN-S it was one of my favs, and can just see Neill Hardy wearing it now
I have always liked Sheffield Uniteds recent kits.

Red and White stripes. Red Shorts ;D ;D

home and away next season.
-
I'd go for a copy of the Unibond winning trip 97-8, smart and not looking like nw counties stuff. In addition the Atletico Madrid strip with blue shorts would be good.
-
Black shorts, black socks
-
hate the red (just red) kit. It looks horrible :-\
-
Alty should always wear red & white stripes.
I always liked the shirts we wore for the '78 Trophy final :)
Paul
-
No brainer. Red and White stripes, Black shorts and red socks.
-
I cannot believe we are even considering those 2 kits. We play in red and white stripes which should be front and back end of.
When I was growing up watching Alty we also had red shorts and I would not mind going back to a retro kit.
If we can only choose from one supplier, as I think someone posted earlier then I would favour looking for another supplier who can offer us a proper Alty kit.
Going slightly off topic can we buy Kits for a 2-3 year old?
-
Estudiantes........,striped shirts,black panties.....
-
Being an old fuddyduddy,
could somebody set up a pole (not a lamp pole) on this kit subject
-
Neither kit is particularly appealing, though if we are stuck with one of them due to our relationship with Ian Senior I would go for the all red - why not be radical for once

As far as I am aware, http://www.sensportkits.org.uk/ (http://www.sensportkits.org.uk/) supply three brands: Pro Star, Precision Training and Gazelle Sports.
Assuming all these websites are up to date, that leaves us with four options for red and white striped kits (two of which we have already had!)
(1) Pro Star - Avellino (http://www.prostar.co.uk/AVELLINO-Jersey-12/Default.aspx) (Current Kit)
(2) Pro Star - Sociadad (http://www.prostar.co.uk/SOCIADAD-Jersey-8/Default.aspx) (2007-2009)
(3) Precision Training - San Siro (http://www.precisiontraining.uk.com/Team-Kit/Shirts/San-Siro.html) (alternative choice)
(4) Gazelle Sports - Italia (http://www.gazellesport.net/team-kits/italia/italia.html) (proposed new kit)
Of those options, I think number three is the best, especially when modelled by the women in the photo. (http://www.precisiontraining.uk.com/Team-Kit/Shirts/San-Siro.html)
-
would like to see the back of the San Siro
-
would like to see the back of the San Siro
yes that would be nice, although it does state - "Stripped front, solid colour back for easily identifiable numbering"
-
This was a particularly bad Alty kit IMHO...

-
I'd like to ask hughsey what colour stocking he likes to go with his panties???
I actually really like that photo of the home and away kits with thye black stripe in addition to the red and white in honour of the '78 trophy strip...
-
1974/75 season retro is definitely the way forward.....!

This was a particularly bad Alty kit IMHO...

On a seprate note if Ross Joyce had been reffing that game we'd have had 3 men sent of between 0.55 and 1.05. :D

-
What can be done with red and white striped shirts? Easy make them diagonal, why not we've not tryed it before, should put it forward as one of the optional kits next season, there is nothing unique about any of our latest kits just very bland
-
The kits have to be chosen from a range.
We aren't big enough to get bespoke dsigned kits..

I know Alty aren't gonna be moving away from Sensport but this is a great shirt!

What do you mean by 'real kits?' The strips we get from Prostar or SK Kits are very much 'real kits', despite the fact they aren't internationally recognised companies like Nike and Adidas
-
Thanks for that vote of confidence. As a point, the vast majority of shirts are made in Asia using the same fabrics, in fact the manufacturer I use supplies many more recognised brands.

Listen, this is our teams kit we are talking about. It does not matter who supplies it as long as it is red and white stripes. However I would far rather buy kit from a smaller company which has good links to our club than adidas or nike who probably do not know who we are .

here here,well said that man.

I know this is my opinion, and few people will share it.....
you say kids would be more likely to buy it if it was nike.....im a child/young adult and i care about whether its alty or not...
plus i wouldnt buy a shirt (just) because it was nike/addidas AND FOR GOD SAKE PUMA!
i like prostar!
AND THE END OF THE DAY.....isnt it the badge that matters? if it has the badge on it i dont care

If you get a shirt that fits your son to Jenny at the club, I will have a replica Alty shirt produced to fit.
-
I would be willing to accept a big change if we thought it'd sell a lot more shirts. I think diagonal stripes is a good idea!
I like prostar. Our current kit looks brilliant and not in the least bit unprofessional. I also like the full red back with the stripes on the front so don't see why we have to do all stripes.
Red shorts would look pretty taccy imo.
Whatever it looks like I will be buying a new shirt next season.

If we had multicoloured vertical stripes like a technicolour dreamcoat then the opposition would have to play in skins thus offering us an early advantage, particulalry in the cold

probebly not but they would still sell more....FACT

Jacko. Why is it a FACT. If you support a club and want to buy a shirt you would buy one no matter what company made it?
-

big teams sell millions of kits not just becuase its got their name on it!! they have trendy makes thats life, otherwise they would wear prostar wouldnt they?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh I thought we were talking about our kit. But to be honest if I supported a big team I would buy the kit without worrying who made it.

but you'll be suprised how many people dont buy their teams kit becuase they dont like the design or who its made by,off the subject example u wouldnt see people buying gola boots no matter how good quality they were these days, its a material world unfortunatly
-
To save any more bickering I suggest we play 'in skins'
-
Hmmmmmmmmm we are not bickering, Jacko just does not understand that he is wrong yet. And more importantly he has yet to grasp that I am always right.

Thanks for that vote of confidence. As a point, the vast majority of shirts are made in Asia using the same fabrics, in fact the manufacturer I use supplies many more recognised brands.
Thats good to know, tell them we only want red and white stripes front and back and everything will be ok.
Do you do an Alty kit to fit 2-3 year old?
If you get a shirt that fits your son to Jenny at the club, I will have a replica Alty shirt produced to fit.
I will do that. Thanks very much.
I wonder if the so called better makes would offer this service. Somehow I do not think so.
probebly not but they would still sell more....FACT
Absolute bollocks Jacko! If Prostar made the official Man Utd strip they'd sell just as many as they do now. It's about the club shirt,not who makes it!

joe they wouldnt sell as many tracksuits stylish merchandise etc, im sorry guys but i know im right with this, studied sports marketing as part of my marketing course and your clubs logo/sponsor is very important to your image, not that it matters as we've got prostar and thats it!!
-
at the end of the day you put a nike shirt next to a prostar shirt and which do you think would sell more, i actually cant believe were having this argument ::)
-
Jacko. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think you are saying that if man utd wore prostar shirts they would not sell as many as if they wore shirts made by nike or adidas?
-
Jacko. Why is it a FACT. If you support a club and want to buy a shirt you would buy one no matter what company made it?
big teams sell millions of kits not just becuase its got their name on it!! they have trendy makes thats life, otherwise they would wear prostar wouldnt they?
Big teams go with a kit supplier like nike because nike are prepared to pay the most. we are not in the position to have a profile where a kit maker is willing to pay us for the kits we wear and therefore we cannot just go 'yeah nike they are the one we want' we need to go 'yeak SK Kits they provide the best deal financially for a small club in the lower leagues' which after all we are

Ah yes, your famous marketing course... might have been slightly better if they'd taught you a bit of economics on it Jacko. There is indeed a branding factor in clothing but you're not applying the correct scales to your argument. A nike kit would be more expensive and while more attractive to some wouldn't necessarily result in greater income. People who buy replica Alty shirts don't treat them like I dunno Calvin Klein shirts or Hugo Boss suits or something. And you're completely disregarding EX GKs point that we have to flog a certain number to get the free playing kit.
Also, to use Manchester United as a comparison is absolute bollocks, and you know it to be fair.

why do other teams around are level get big sponsors then? barrow, gateshead etc? the utd comparison isnt bollox becuase logos/image and sponsors are important at all levels, by the way this forum stinks of ignorance and blinkerdness, all people say when someone has an opinion/ideas that might upset the applecart is "bollox" and then try and undermind me personaly etc, its backward thinking

looking at the BSP teams kits im struggling to find a teams kit without a big sponsor, i mean even histon have nike ffs!
-
Jacko, would you prefer I cancel my kit supply offer to the club, and you contact the likes of Adidas and Nike and get them to supply Altrincham FC with all kit, etc., bearing in mind your sports marketing background. I would imagine the club would take up your offer with open arms.
-
Jacko. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I think you are saying that if man utd wore prostar shirts they would not sell as many as if they wore shirts made by nike or adidas?
Hi Jacko
You have not answered my point. So I am assuming that that I am correct again!!!!!!!
-
Jacko's argument doesn't wash (no pun intended) for one reason; it doesn't make sense to compare us to United fans.
He's probably right, United would sell more Nike kits, large portions of their worldwide fanbase would only want to be seen in a kit with a Nike logo or something but we are not united fans we are Alty fans! Come on ffs if you are willing to wear an Alty shirt, no matter who it is made by you are obviously willing to differ from the trend and therefore are unlikely to give a Vics about the make. Most of us on here have just said we couldn't care less about the make, so surely that's all the proof you need?
I think it's pretty harsh to be making derogatory comments about Prostar too. It's like when people ask Ecky who he supports in "proper football". They are a small, but good company with strong links to the club and I think the kits they've done us in the past look very nice thank you very much.

i didnt make any derogatory prostar comments either!

Jacko, Nike or Adidas won't supply the club with new kits at an economically viable cost, whereas SK sports will.
Opting for Nike or Adidas means the club could easily spend £5,000 - £10,000 buy all new branded kits and training gear for the squad.
Would you rather this money spent on new flashy kits or invested in the wage budget?

Your response is not only too late to count, it also also wrong. And it should be in red and white not black and white.

This may sound like a silly question..... (directed to EX GK)
If the club gets the kit free (dont slate me if ive mis-interpreted this from posts)? why do we ask people to sponsor a shirt? or is it a simple and effective extra-revenue scheme?

what they just splash out on big names for no reason? so all these clubs around us dont make money off there kit?? hmmm
dan im not sure this is the case for most teams in this league

That is probably a question for the club. I do know the club are currently looking for a Main Kit Sponsor for next season. Supporters sponsor a player, and in return recieve the players shirts at the end of the season.

looking at the BSP teams kits im struggling to find a teams kit without a big sponsor, i mean even histon have nike ffs!
This is a good way of testing your theory of branding impacting upon shirt sales.
So my question is this. Would shirt sales decrease if Histon changed brand from Nike to ProStar?
My answer is, probably not, if you are going to buy a histon shirt, you will buy one anyway. If anything sales might increase if prostar can be supplied at a cheaper price than nike.

If this is the case Then why dont many teams in and below do exactly that dan??
-
Another issue is access to the replica shirt should you need them in a hurry, for example a Cup Run, not that that's been an issue for a while.The cup run Histon had a few years ago probably led to them having Nike as supplier because they were on TV. Going back a couple of months, Crawley had a new kit from Puma for the Utd game when there normal kit is from Lotto.

I don't think most teams have someone willing to supply them with free kits. In most cases, I imagine clubs will have to pay for kits - say £4,00 for prostar or £5,000 for nike. In this scenario it might be worth paying the extra (if you are confident of selling extra shirts), but considering the savings the clubs makes by receiving free kit from the suppliers (something that wouldn't be possible with nike).
I do like the Nike and Adidas shirt, and agree they look smarter and more professional. That said, i'd rather the club saves the cash and spends it on the wage budget, after all, whatever logo is on the kit it was probably made in the same Vietnamese factory

My point exactly, if you want to buy an Alty shirt you will buy one, even if a little old lady makes them in her back room.

Your probably not far off the mark there!! Nearly all footy kits are made out in Asia now, a lot by the same companies manufacturing under license. In many cases, Nike and Adidas kits, for example, are made in the same factory.

If it means so much to you Jacko, i'll peal the SK sport logo off and draw a nikey tick in permanent marker.
;D

That would definitely reduce the sales!

Isnt it just the case that Histon just get a Nike Football Kits catalogue and place an order.
Then pay an extra couple of quid to get the Histon badge stitched on?
I used to buy uniform that was embroidered, you just attached a jpg of the logo to the order and they made it.
If they want some more then they go back to the catalogue and order some more?
If the answer to this is yes..I'll do the second half of my post.

I don't think that's the way it works, some teams get paid to wear a name in this league surely

If we had multicoloured vertical stripes like a technicolour dreamcoat then the opposition would have to play in skins thus offering us an early advantage, particulalry in the cold
I like this - they'd all have to have their numbers tattoed on their back!

Not a chance I reckon unless they had a one off FA cup game.
Anyway my point was going to be that there is no way you could have the same relationship with Nike that you would have with a company owned by your own goalkeeping coach who has played for you. I bet the amount of times Ian hears "could we just have a few more bibs...do you have any spare this or that we could have" is incredible.
I put in an early post that the Sensports logo should be smaller as its bigger than the badge.
Fair play for sticking up for your opnion Jacko but for me an Alty kit is really only ever going to be worn by quite a hardcore fan and that fan would buy it whoever it was made by.

SKkits logo will be reduced in size once (and if) shirt is confirmed, whichever one it might be? Thanks for all your comments, both good, bad and indifferent.

I can understand that the hardcore fans don't really care about the kit, I just noticed a lot of clubs have big sponsors around us and I'm interested why
-
Why are shirts so expensive - I can see Man U etc having a premium price attached, in a similar way to Merc & BMW vs Skoda etc, but why are Alty shirts a comparable price rather than being 50% cheaper.
Could we run a type of "Group buy" scheme where the more people who sign up to buy a shirt the cheaper it becomes based on a target profit that needs to be made to get the kits free and support Sensport and the club to a fair level?
How many replica shirts would Alty expect to sell in a season?
-
ok, can everyone stop whinging about what is clearly an excellent deal for the club, cue next years "why don't we ever get asked about the kit" debate
-
red n white anything else just isnt alty
-
first choice is red and white stripes, red shorts and socks which would be a change from recent years - (but stripes all over the back - do many people actually buy the current strip with a big block of red on the back and a space for the number- doesn't look great off the pirch does it!)
The point is -if we get the kits free and we sell an extra 50 shirts - thats £1750 which pays for a player for 8 weeks ? - correct me if anyone knows - I an not sure what we pay a player-
On that basis and the loan player keeps us up at the end of the season- I would go for the red one - even though it looks like a training top!
I would much prefer an all red plain one like the umbro one from the 70's though!
I vote for stripes - but I think we would sell more all red ones!- I don't think we've sold hardly any stripe one this season! we need every penny we can get-
Look back over the years and Sunderland changed to white shirts in the 80's! West ham got rid of blue sleeves for years, Sheff Weds got rid of dtripes for years etc
It's all about revenue and £1500 is revenue for us
-
Don't forget ther is another way to keep the Alty badge on your chest withou buying a kit - polo tops, t-shirts etc
