Never really comfortable with any red on our kits but that looks magnificent, particularly long sleeved. Perhaps yellow for the shoulders? Friendly reminder that all of our best shirts, ever, have all had red on them. We’re long overdue a red shirt. I'd like a predominantly red away or third choice shirt now. If the objection to that is that United play in red...well I'm not arsed. They aren't our rivals and one cup tie about 60 years ago, before most of our fan base was born, shouldn't have any bearing on kit choices in 2024.

That away shirt in 18/19 was actually from Joma’s handball catalogue, it wasn’t a football shirt.

My only issue with the new badge (aside from the lack of imagination) is the pointless repeat of 1883. Lose the one from the ribbon (either by replacing it by something else or just leaving the ribbon blank) or front he circle and I have no issue with it - the repeat of it just highlights how lazily thought out it was. Well also apart from the few times people have asked me if it's a Chelsea badge 🤦♂️ You’re right about 1883 appearing twice, I’ve mentioned before that I think the ribbon should say Animo et Fide. Regarding more imaginative badges, we’ve tried one or two in the past and none have lasted long, partly because unlike the current crest - which actually represents both the town and borough of Stockport and is timeless - the ones I remember had the problem of being fashionable once, but like all fashions, they dated quickly. As an example of how things were fashionable back in the day, ‘Go Go Go County’ was fantastic and worked well in the late 1960’s, but would look pretty naff on the ribbon today. I think I've not made myself clear by lack of imagination. I don't think it needs to be anything special and the crest part of our current badge is perfect. What I mean by that is that somebody will have been paid to "design" sticking our existing crest in a blue circle with 1883 and Stockport County on it. Something any of us could have knocked up without putting any thought it to it. Swapping the ribbon for Animo Et Fide is about the level of imagination I'm referring to - something I mocked up a while back and has been my avatar on here ever since. I should also probably clarify I much prefer what we have to some of the god awful clip art style designs that have popped up around football in recent years. I was given a book about the history of football club badges for Christmas and was delighted to find that we were used as a history lesson from pages 10-13. ![](https://i.ibb.co/SKmvRyj/IMG-2968.jpg) ![](https://i.ibb.co/vDQ02Yw/IMG-2967.jpg)

Proper collar, rank shirt. What's with all those creases from the display?

Collars aren’t popular with players, one of the reasons we’ve only had one shirt with a collar, home, away or third (I think) in the past ten years.

In fairness, it's fun in general!

The red and blue one would be great if aldershot was your second club.

I'd heard one of the shirts is a take on the yellow and blue speckled cobra lager shirt
