Am I the only one who would have at least preferred blue shorts with that ghastly home 'top'?

I've only just realised because I just saw a photo, our 3rd kit is actually the England strip rebadged!

It would've been a real challenge to produce the worst-ever QPR kit. By golly, they've done it.

Home kit looks like something that a French onion seller would wear to the beach. Away kit is ok. 3rd strip is boring and unimaginative really. Totally nondescript set of threads. Nomar, French onion seller, you say.!!

Like the 2nd and 3rd kit, first kit, what a F*** up and still with that horrible badge on it. Foot, shot, self. I'll let you make a sentence out of that.

Don't mind them, seen worse. Known for months now that these kits wouldn't be ideal, TF said it himself on London Call-In back in February or March so it's hardly news.
They're blue and white, red and black, have our badge on and most importantly they have Premier League badges on the arms and Premier League shirt printing on the back.
Next season will be the first kit designed specifically for us and I for one can't wait to see it!

BUT...Every photo we see of QPR next season...Every video...Those are the kits we're going to see (which is why I suggested yesterday (perhaps facetiously - Let Fans buy the new Kit (if they want). And Let QPR keep playing in the current kit (with nike stuck on) - or if Lotto objects, Just bring back some of the old hooped kits and stick on New sponsor etc.

Bottom line: for £45m, we do it whatever way Nike wants us too!

Its T shirt, nothing more nothing less, does Nike have a design department. Primark will have them on sale next week for £3.99. that's how quick the fashion business can move, what's that about Nike not having enough time to get stuff to the market.

I think this is the least amount of effort put into designing the home shirt in the past 20 years... Owners have Poor vision. Of course there was not effort, the deal was only agreed a month ago. This has been explained so many times, it's just not funny anymore. Bottom line: for £45m, we do it whatever way Nike wants us too! Goes to show the owner cares more about money. So, with the club's debts and wages bill, you don't think that £45m coming into the club is important? This is how books get balanced, kit deals, sponsorship etc. Or did you think that the money was going into TF's pocket?

That's harsh. I think Tony is as much a fan as us.

And quite frankly people thinking that because we didn't get to have our own designed kit in the first year of a 5 year deal worth a lot of money means the owners care more about money than the club is absolutely absurd.

Much as I dislike the kit, I've calmed down about it now . The £45million will come in very handy if we are about to face an FFP fine. Maybe with the names and numbers on the back it'll look slightly better. Only at QPR! Anyway, onwards and upwards in the Prem ...

I have to say though, as far as the contractual obligaton for year 1 is concerned, I wonder if the same restrictions were placed when Man Utd first hooked up with Nike.

Seperate matters: Did we need the money? Did we have any option? Could there have been fan involvement in at least chosing between lesser goods? etc
And What you actually think of the new strips... Especially the home strip.
You could say it's the worst you've ever seen, but no choice
or It's great...

How many blue & white hooped kits do you think Nike had in their catalogue to choose from?

The current track record of the owners are proving that they can't account & besides Sponsorships are mostly backdoor money, what worries me is that they have poor vision as a brand in picking low quality economy clothing and roll it out to be something HUGE !!
