Dont mind the grey, but not a fan of the centralised badges.
A great video and a great message, dampened some what given how we have just shafted a load of less abled fans with the South Stand farce

Sure, slightly misjudged or mismanaged as a development but not with any spite. |

The message is a great one, but, loses some of its impact doesnt it when we now cannot provide for the fans the video champions |

IMHO we been shafted by the BCC planning backlog & now the local Green councillor who now seems to be causing delay by her requests to have the plans put before a committee. |

Great 2nd strip, best in a while and an honorable philanthropic gesture underpinned by another great video.
The south stand farce is a disruption for a wide range of people, ST purchasers, visiting supporters and those with a physical disability requiring appropriate access arrangements.

Can't see the video on the official site, had to follow a link to the Daily Mail via the link provided by bluetornados. Maybe I'm just being a bit dense. Nice video (though I can't help but point out the end bit won't work for the visually impaired  ) - |

I don’t like the kit personally especially the collar and cuffs but the braille idea is a good one and getting Olly to be the ambassador for it is great. Definitely good to try new things. Would have preferred a quartered away kit too - perhaps grey and black

Would have preferred a quartered away kit too - perhaps grey and black Any number of ex players could have done that, Ollie is a QPR fan. The deaf thing is admirable, much respect, but I don't see how that equates to an away shirt? Seems like a virtual signal too far for me. In real time yesterday, our kit didn't stand out, looked like a training top and will be in a few years as forgettable as the season just passed - it's boring - but hey we're unbeaten in it so far, and as long as it remains like that it might be the most important away kit yet!? Otherwise a yawn from me. |

Another way to look at it...
One prevailing theme I've seen on kit launch is that people want a shirt they can wear away from going to a game. That the quarters are great, but you wouldn't wear it shopping.
That what is wanted is a simple, plain shirt, that goes well with jeans or trousers or shorts, that you can wear going for a walk, down the pub, or out shopping.
Well here it is.

It'll certainly fit in with recent weather. |

I think it's the smartest away kit we've had for many years

I would wear a quartered shirt with jeans shorts or a skirt. Not a plain one though as I find them boring and they lose our distinctive identity. Only plain Rovers shirt I own is the fluorescent orange one from the 90s I think (it was only ever a concept/training shirt so I imagine pretty rare even back then) and I rarely wear it Each to their own though….. 🙂 |

Just ordered mine. I didn't realise that there was a limited number with the braille on - 250.

Otherwise a yawn from me. Olly was a good call because of his children and he has a lot of history with us as well as QPR. As to him being a QPR fan my guess is you are being a bit mischievous. I Reckon you’d see blue and white quarters if you cut him in half rather than hoops |
