Re: new kit preview?
 

Not too keen on that I don't think, but I'll wait till we see it 'in the flesh' to pass judgement

Re: new kit preview?
 

will second that.

Re: new kit preview?
 

Ewww I don't like it not one for skin clinging stuff or the sleeves on it from what i can see - i so much prefer our current joma kit tbh

Re: new kit preview?
 

Love it - only thing I'm not too keen on is the Samurai logo

Re: new kit preview?
 

Don't like the white trim on the sleeves, apart from that, looks ok.

Re: new kit preview?
 

I'm not over keen on the sleeves meself, but I don't think they'd look quite the same when all the badges etc are applied. Also it's hard to tell without a sponsor on how exactly it will look.

Anhy news on a sponsor Lew or will it go on sale without one?

Re: new kit preview?
 

sleeves are minging imho.

Re: new kit preview?
 

Whilst we, you little fashion-guru you, think they are absolutely charming...so there !!.

Re: new kit preview?
 

Not buying that, awful !!!

Re: new kit preview?
 

Let’s just cut to the quick; it looks a little Saturday Night Blackpool. Funny Girls like. :eek::D
I won't be buying one......:o. sorry Lew.

Re: new kit preview?
 

Hi,
These images are of a 1st sample ELITE not the REPLICA which is a much looser and traditional fit and for anyone who would like to see it in flesh we have both the ELITE and REPLICA sample in store.

Come and have a look, see the quality, see the sublimation of the logo, see the design close up, see the fit of the replica. It is the centre piece of the store and will be until launch.

As for the sponsor, it is something that the commercial department is working extremely hard on, but at present there will be no sponsor for the launch shirts unless there is breaking news shortly at which point logo's will be applied as normal and in time for launch.

Re: new kit preview?
 

love it book it and had it on.

Re: new kit preview?
 

I think it looks superb to be honest !!!

Much prefer with no sponsor, proper old skool :)

Think ill be going for the replica version, unless I lose a few stone by the start of next season :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

so if it is being sold without a sponsor on are there any guaranteed plans to add them on at a later date for all those who have already bought one?

I'll gladly spend a weeks giro on one but not without the sponsor or the promise of it, as that then wouldn't be a replica

Re: new kit preview?
 

Not quite sure about that, something about those collars seem a bit iffy, but who knows it may just be a bad piccy, I'll tame my ardour for the time being. :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

I thought so to, the Claret looks Red, the Blue looks White and the badge is the wrong one. Thought I was in the wrong place when I saw it :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

To be honest it looks like something you might pick up in Primark for £3.99. Just doesn't look like a football shirt to me.

Re: new kit preview?
 

Hi, well they are not on sale just yet sir so they shouldn't be in anyones hands but mine just yet? ;) should a sponsor be found between now and launch then they will be added on before launch day itself, if not then they can be added on at a later date. It's a simple process of heat transfer which all sponsors use for shirt logos. Yes, plans are in place for this, plus those that do not want a sponsor on don't have to.

As they say the choice is yours?

Re: new kit preview?
 

Love everything about the shirt except for that ridiculous-looking Samurai logo, which spoils the whole thing for me. Shame!

Re: new kit preview?
 

I had a look today at the new kit today and I think its a winner

upwards and onwards

Loweiy

Re: new kit preview?
 

Got to admit as to being quite impressed with the new shirt after actually seeing it in the shop today maybe worth a visit to make up your own mind.:)

Re: new kit preview?
 

looks good to me :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

Show me a shirt with the sponsor as it will look finished !!! As it is now I don't like it .

Re: new kit preview?
 

I actually went in to look properly before passing the final judgement as with the black joma shirt & fell in love immediately, sadly it didn't happen for this kit it's just not for me at all, so will remain in my lovely old shirt till the next new shirt :(

Re: new kit preview?
 

Cannot say I was over inspired to purchase one, lets see the finished article with all the badges attached, but as others have said, the broad white band on the sleeve just does not do it for me.

Re: new kit preview?
 

It seems i may be going against the flow here, but I rather liked the retro look of the replica shirt, the tight fitting one tho is not for me, I have more of a party pack than a six pack lol.

Re: new kit preview?
 

Shirts without sponsors are the best!!! ;) :) :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

With our track record perhaps a strip of Velcro for the sponsor name may be bes t;)

Re: new kit preview?
 

would of been better with a round collar rather than a polo. personally think it will look better in a long sleeve!

Re: new kit preview?
 

First. I offer an unreserved and sincere apology to Lew and his team for the comments I made about the new kit. I've see a mock up of the Replica shirt and I'm buying one; Excellent kit. The shop looks excellent compared to previous seasons and the Stanley range of goodies is looking good.

I loved the quality of the rest of the new kit line up; the training jackets are excellent as is the Fleece and the hoodies. I will be buying three or four items of clothing.

Second. Very impressed with Lew and the young lad in the shop. I left filled with confidence that those behind the scenes are working with a passion for the club and they will ensure that we will always met with open arms and a warm welcome.

Thanks Lew.

Re: new kit preview?
 

Have you been over today ?

Re: new kit preview?
 

Doug you have probably stumbled across something there that perhaps we take for granted in that the Club Store for most of us fans in that it is the first point of contact with the Club.

First impressions are lasting impressions and it is similar in most things in that if you are treated in such a way you are made to feel comfortable and enthused the tendency is you will revist again and again.

Customer service is a key fundamental in any business and one that the Store scores highly on:)

Re: new kit preview?
 

Yes...:) and I'm coming back soon. :D

Re: new kit preview?
 

That map is good value for money when you can use it twice :p:p

Re: new kit preview?
 

:D Love it.....lol. Don’t need any map Dave, it’s in the blood; and like me it gets thicker as it gets older. Love Accy. :)
Joyce seldom has a good word for Stanley; always taking the pee. But, she loved the new stuff and for once is happy for me to spend money. So I will.:D

Re: new kit preview?
 

Re: new kit preview?
 

always good to hear when someone has good words to say about something Stanley, and as Pendle Red says, Lew and the shop always score highly in that department.

As for the kit I'm not a huge fan and as with other it's the bands on the sleeve that are way too thick for me, looks like bog paper shoved up the sleeves!!! But as ever I'll be buying one anyway - just not yet as I'm skint and there are way too many big expensive matches coming up shortly .....

Re: new kit preview?
 

not too kean om the design but i guess ill check it out for myslef before making judgement... as for sponsors, cleverbox is the new sponser of the club so will have to see how that fits in!

Re: new kit preview?
 

Across the front of the shirt and spelt correctly would be my guess ;)

Picture of the New Shirt with the Logo on.

Re: new kit preview?
 

Looks really good with all the badges on and the Logo - Getting one for sure.

Well Done to Lew and all the Commercial Team.

Re: new kit preview?
 

It is true clever box is confirmed, I had difficulties contacting people at the club today due to manic day of press conferences involving many media, reps & staff being tied up with matters in hand that the fishy site hasnt been updated yet, that's the reason why and will be updated in due course :D

Re: new kit preview?
 

Thanks Mel, you've just answered the question I was gonna ask :).
Good news that we have a shirt sponsor - let's hope there's more good news of a ground sponsor to follow

Re: new kit preview?
 

No probs I had to check with the club and on behalf of the supporters here too for confirmation, tho I picked a busy day for the club lol

Re: new kit preview?
 

Its on fishy now,gotta say it looks really well wi the logo on.:) still not keen on the sleeves, but a big improvement fer me.;)

Re: new kit preview?
 

Wow that was quick good stuff a lil kick up the phone works wonders, yay moving forwards in right direction :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

the shirt looks far better with the sponsors name on it now, and it lessens the impact of the big white band on the arm. I could almost say that I like it now (but won't cos that would mean taking back old comments and I can't do that!)

Re: new kit preview?
 

well as well as the team its a refreshing change to have all good news,lets hope it comes in 3s.;)

Re: new kit preview?
 

First off welcome onboard CleverBoxes

This is a very positive move all around well done to Martin to bringing it to fruition.

Just looking at the Blog on the CleverBoxes website oozes professionalism and a forward thinking partner in business particulary sponsors can only bode well for the future.

Good Luck to both Stanley & CleverBoxes for a long fruitful future, furthering and enhacing the ambitions of our "Great Little Club":alright:

PS It also caps off a very fine looking shirt:)

Re: new kit preview?
 

Great news. Wow, look at the pitch in the slideshow! Or have they just used "Clevercamera" angles?:D

Re: new kit preview?
 

Think you may have to wait a bit longer to see us play in it, a little superstitious is our gaffer apparently :D

Re: new kit preview?
 

just had another sneck at the picture, if it looks as impressive in the shop, i may just change me mind. think the logo looks great.;)

Re: new kit preview?
 

C'mon JT where did you get this snippet of info, already announced that the team would play in the new strip against Barnet! But I have to agree, we have a good unbeaten run in hte old strip, 3 more against Barnet could see us safely in the play-offs and the Bees relegated, dependant on what Northampton and Lincoln do. UTS

Re: new kit preview?
 

It is no different than the last two new strips JT?? :confused: :) :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

Thanks for the great feedback, we think the new shirt is great :D

We've got lots of great ideas to help, support and sponsor Accrington Stanley over the coming years.

http://forums.beclevergroup.com/blog...64-300x225.jpg

We've updated our blog CleverBoxes sponsor Accrington Stanley, Six figure deal, over three years and added a video.

We've also started to add Accrington Stanley information to our web site too The UK's leading online IT retailer - Cleverboxes - Business credit accounts available - HP Cisco Lenovo IBM

We're going to be around a good while...

Come on Accrington Stanley :)

The CleverBoxes Team

Re: new kit preview?
 

thats good to hear, wish yeh great success.

Re: new kit preview?
 

Well done on supporting the local team. Hope you get the same support back :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

Tell you what, it DOES look much better with the sponsors name on,, If it was one of the 'old' sponsors, it wouldn't look as good, but these new guys-well its looks pefect, not to 'busy'. Well done all concearned.

Re: new kit preview?
 

... and I think STANLEY would be unwise to tempt fate and change strips at this stage of the season. :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

Re: new kit preview?
 

I'm slightly suprised at it because it's a one colour version of the corporate logo. A lot of companies are very protective of their company on branding. I know there is a clash of colour but I thought they would have stuck to the corporate logo with a white trim round it to stand out. Then again I suppose that then wouldn't be the true image either :D

Re: new kit preview?
 

Plenty of time Dave; I'd buy it twice to support us into a new season; you've got to turn Red mate. It's going to be a fantastic ride. :D

Re: new kit preview?
 

wrong Doug mate,its you thats abroad- yer in Blackpool.:D;) C.B. are aboard;)

Re: new kit preview?
 

Just be grateful Red is my second colour, don't push it :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

No matter cashy; all looks the same when i'm ****ed :o

Re: new kit preview?
 

yes indeed Dave. A few weeks ago I optimistically touted Cleverboxes (might have called 'em Thinkboxes - sorry) as a potential investor to the club, but never thought it would actually come off. They seem like a really clever company (see what I did there) and have their heads screwed on right. From what we have read, and heard a couple of posts ago, it would seem that Cleverboxes really want to push the brand and quite rightly will be using their sponsorship of the club to do this. Let's hope that the club do not cock this one up by making any of the many errors we've heard of previously. In fairness the people have/are changing at the club so hopefully those days are gone. With a bit of luck and improvisation we can ride on their coat-tails for a bit and vice-versa. Maybe both parties can learn a few things along the way as well?

Good luck Cleverboxes and welcome to the club (and forum)

Re: new kit preview?
 

anybody else think it reminds them of this shirt from 99-00? let's hope it's as successful, because if it is we'll be playing Championship football in 16 months!

Re: new kit preview?
 

Where's the sweetener to get the fans on board, 99% discount should be a starter offer :D

Re: new kit preview?
 

:) Spot on John!! i was taking to Lew this morning and the new strip although might be paraded by some of the team before the game,it wont be worn by the players for the game,if all goes well Burton Albion away or the playoffs will see the players wearing the kit.:)

Re: new kit preview?
 

If the reasons stated by JT are correct then surely then the old ones will be worn at Burton and the play offs for the same reason :confused:

Re: new kit preview?
 

Was thinking the same LD, when do they stop being superstitious???????

Re: new kit preview?
 

val who needs new shirts lets keep these chuffers forever!

Re: new kit preview?
 

The other question is what is classed as a change of shirt ?

I think the new sponsor will definately get some publicity today :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

I saw the shirt last week in store and unless it was a prototype or sample to get sizing for pre orders I thought it looked very very cheap. The logo/baxge was printed on not stitched !! Looked like a cheap knock off you see when on holiday in them dodgy Spanish markets. Not impressed in the slightest. Just hoping the one I saw wasn't the finished article. May just get this seasons again if it is the case. Joma did a great job

Re: new kit preview?
 

there was a prototype knocking about Boomer, that had the logo printed on. It was signed and raffled off at the Presentation Evening.

Re: new kit preview?
 

I thought that the slim fit "Rugby" version had the logo printed on?? :confused: :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

When is it available to buy ? they had quite a few on the rails when i went in last week. I thought as first that maybe they just had samples in every size for people to try on who where looking to preorder.

I really hope that the ones in the shop arent the finished product cause they arent worth £40. The design on the promotion photos looks ace, im just hoping that the finished article doesnt disapoint.

I`m going in tomorrow to get my playoffs ticket i`ll get some shots taken and ask some questions. Lewis is usually the man in the know.

Re: new kit preview?
 

its lews design boomer, so he can tell ya.:D

Re: new kit preview?
 

has anyone got the new top ? when is it released ? is the stanley badge a print or stitched on ? come lads and lasses get some detailed photos on here.

Please ..... :-)

Re: new kit preview?
 

is it really ? well done Lewis ! Good lad.

Re: new kit preview?
 

Just a point, Boomer..if you're not taken with the new shirt, then an excellent alternative is the Panther Leisurewear shirt. It's black with a red "slash" across and features the club badge. Available in polo, t-shirt and hooded top designs. I bought the polo version last Saturday and liked it so much, I'm going back in the buy a t-shirt next week! :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

you might be onto something there
I saw Coley wearing that the other day and thought it was smart.

lewis will put a name on back as well i`m betting. Altough with Jimmy "the Brazilian" Ryan going to LaLiga the chances of having him on the back are looking slim.

Re: new kit preview?
 

I'm sure he will, being an obliging chap. Wore it when I went for a beer in mine and Lew's local the other day and received a number of favourable comments from the assembled City/United fans! :)

Re: new kit preview?
 

There actually is united fans oer yon Wyn?:confused:

Re: new kit preview?
 

Yep, Mr C, but as it's Stockport, they're all plastics by my football supporting principles! :D

Re: new kit preview?
 

The new range is all very good with something for everyone:)
