NG32 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Have I made this up but was it not made a thing that clubs cannot have striped backs? The shirts need to be one colour on the back to assist with reading player numbers/names? I mentioned this yonks ago. I was laughed at for suggesting such a thing. People for get ashley is all about making cash from various lines of business. Nudging fans to spend a bit more on names and numbers is right up ashleys street. SD always try to get you to buy a mug, a bag or a catalog. When you buy from SD online the SD catalogue is auto added to your basket, you have to manually remove it. The blank back is there on purpose. Nope, it's not a thing. Southampton don't, sunderland don't. West Brom have never had it whilst they've had their thick normal stripes. We're the only ones who seem to insist on it for some reason. These images show that the variations in colours dont make it difficult or any more difficult to read. Stoke http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/12/12/article-2073311-0F2416D100000578-813_468x286.jpg West Brom http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02389/Peter_Odemwingie_2389482b.jpg Aye, its pretty much just us... fat Mick probably thinks its a way to force fans to get names and/or numbers on instead of having a plain back to the shirt. I don't even think its a puma/manufacturer thing, as we had the same sort of blank back panel in the last few years with Adidas too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Brom have never had it whilst they've had their thick normal stripes. We're the only ones who seem to insist on it for some reason. What about the premier league numbers/letters? Are they only allowed to be black now? When West Brom had their stripes, they used red letters/numbers. Obviously black would be impossible on any newcastle kit, red would probably look ridiculous too We used to have red numbers before the PL, it was fine. Yeah I know, I meant that I wonder if the PL made a new rule about the numbers having to be black or a dark colour (dunno why they would ) Just found this in the Prem rules "M.7. When playing in League Matches each Player shall wear a shirt on the back of which shall be prominently displayed his shirt number so as to be clearly visible in accordance with guidelines laid down by the Board from time to time, and above that his surname or such other name as may be approved in writing by the Board" Nothing there, so no idea. Does say "prominently" though. Not sure Stoke's were that "prominent" this season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 They'll probably use red letters and numbers on the back so they have a lovely red white and blue on the back just like SD. Just got to change the front then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M4 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Still long for a classic red trim and red numbers home kit. Would be immense. Obviously, the current sponsor being blue there's to be no one other secondary colour. And it would be a waste of a design with the current state of the club/team.

Aye, I knew I was right - it's a UEFA rule Source: http://ffm.mk/media/files/UEFa-Kit-Regulations-Edition-2012_en.pdf Number-zone colours In order to be approved, the contrast between shirt colours in the number zone must be less than or equal to a Delta L of 25. Colour combinations with a Delta L value greater than 25 are considered as contrast colours and require a neutral patch on the back of the shirt. Maybe this is a sign we're going to challenge for European football? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 As the patch seems to be a UEFA requirement, not a domestic league requirement, I suppose we could just use 'patched' shirts for the players if or as/when needed, and make the general/replica shirts fully striped (or hooped), as Celtic do... Celtic in SPL... http://cdn.images.express.co.uk/img/dynamic/67/590x/celtic-bhoys-431430.jpg Celtic in European Competition... http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/03/20/26202C9F00000578-0-image-a-24_1426810351203.jpg But that would be too straightforward for NUFC.... they cant even get the sponsors new logo onto a shirt launch, FFS!!!

I am sure if you get the same shirt you still complaint. why the strips are not equal blah blah... As for the red letters if you feel it is traditonal stuff you should strongly suggest to Puma and the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
