or does nobody wish to be associated with you again?
If blue & white halfs clashes with whoever you are playing, there is a 50/50 chance that this kit will clash also....good bit of thinking again by the BRFC

Where is your sponsor Venkies?

The worst ever for me.
Only one matters - the famous blue and white one :)
Like the color of this one but, I think it represents the owners 'blue all over' !
T'up the Rovers

I think this is worse than last season effort which is saying something as that was terrible. A third kit will be needed but I can see us using last seasons away kit, especially as we seem to be retaining the Princes Trust as the 'sponsor', as when we play away both our kits are too similar to Ipswich, Millwall, Birmingham, Brighton, Peterborough, Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester.

It looks ok but am I missing something, it's blue, has someone at ewood not worked out we play in blue and white therefore we need a kit to use in case of a clash with other teams that play in blue or white, is it me?

Have they thought of a 3rd kit, wouldn't put it past the current regime to see us turn up on the first day with a colour clash. Who is going to buy all these great replica shirts that look like training tops at crazy prices?

Apparently, manufacturers Umbro have also designed the new Liverpool away kit. All red apparently!! And the new Newcastle away one too, black and white stripes!! Completely pointless in my opinion. Red and black is always the best choice for me.

Maybe it will look more like a football shirt when we sell the space on the front of it to a sponsor. Since every other club in the world feels the need to sell this space, why don't Rovers?
On the subject of a third kit, for most clubs this is a way of milking more money out of supporters. For Rovers I can't help get the impression that its just idiocy all around that has inadvertently caused a colour clash. How hard can it be? Rovers can wear their home shirt against everyone except those who wear blue at home. When are we going to need this navy shirt?
What a laughing stock this club has become.

What, no sponsor? I wonder why? Do Venky's know the amount of money that can be made from having one? Unless of course, no-one wants to be associated with the shambles that we have become.
Maybe Billy Smarts would be interested, or maybe Confused.com?

It's alright, a bit boring like. We had a dark blue away kit a few years ago and couldn't use it all the time. Ipswich away, first game of the season - is that easier to tell from the Ipswich kit than the blue and white?

Isn't the whole point of the away kit that it's completely different to your home kit?
It'll look better with a decent sponsor's logo on the front...if Venky's can attract any decent sponsors that is.

But surely 1st Div Coventry's chocolate brown kit at 3rd Div Ewood 1979 F A Cup (Andy Crawford - get in!) really takes the bisciut?

Who comes up with the same primary colour for the kit that is meant to be for colour clashes? Can these bafoons not even get the simple tasks right? I'm surprised they can find their way out of the ground.
