New Shirt

[My opinion]

Looking forward to the choice s again...Hope the Black and White quarters is on the list..That would be my choice. I already have several hooped shirts

Something like the 84-87 strip for me but probably not possible.

To be honest as long as it's ready in advance of the season then no big issue. I will even order my lads them this year as the delivery/ordering seems to have been much better this season.

As much as I like hoops it can get a bit boring, I was also a fan of the quartered shirt, however it's to be a celebration for our move home then it's probably right that its hoops. A replica of the Orange shirt will do for me.

[davidcorks 40yard OG]

I thought the black n white quarters choice last time was smart as

Summat like that again or the 97 thin 4 hooped top would be good

A return to the traditional yellow away kit as well please

[quakerlady]

Do we know the kit sponsor for next year?
Just think certain styles suit certain logos etc.

What a total monstrosity that final kit is (was). Quite apt when you consider the sponsor.

What a girly comment

[quakerlady]

Haha - maybe.
Just hate the afterthought stick on logo look. As the first Cosyseal year it looked terrible

[tdk1]

Well the options are in...

Got to say option one looks pretty decent - only one of them in the traditional mould. Option two looks good at first glance, but I reckon after a month of it I'd be thinking it was rubbish.

[BlackandwhiteBOB]

I'm not a massive fan of any of them personally but as I don't like shirts with buttons on then it has to be the v neck option 2 for me!

[Darlo_Pete]

I've voted for option 3, as it looks the best of the lot.

[divas]

not struck on any to be honest.

1 - the best of a bad bunch
2 - reminiscent of what weve worn when the kit was done last minute and reminds me of a bad era
3 - I know we're playing at a rugby club, but we aren't actually a rugby club

There must be a wildcard?!

[Bogratsteve]

3 for me I reckon, not that struck on any of them tbh

[loan_star]

Not fussed on any so not going to bother voting!

[Darlogramps]

Neither of them are particularly brilliant. I'd go for option 1.

[al_quaker]

I really like 1. A bit different, and looks smart. Saying that, I reckon 3 will win.

[darlodave1974]

Got to be number 1

[The Golden Hairclip]

#1 - decent

#2 - reminiscent of bad times

#3 - same old, same old

Yep, number 1. Something a bit different.

[lo36789]

Anything but 2 - just looks like the strip we had when we were stripped of everything! 1 reminds me of a Dortmund kit somehow if it were yellow rather than white, but I also thought it looked a bit too plain so went for 3.

To move away from a hoop design is going to take something like the quarters which I voted for last season. If we stay away from stripes, a single hoop or just the bizareness of out 98/99 shirt then I am happy!

Do you reckon Adidas would be that bothered if we went for an 3 hoop design like 66-72. I mean their trademark is the "3 stripes" not 3 hoops. Can they even have a blanket trademark on the appearance of lines in 3s!

[TFDM]

Would love a shirt with just three hoops across the middle like our mid 60's kit. Got a Toffs one when they were on sale and its brilliant.

I have a memory from the 1997-1998 shirt that it originally was designed with 3 hoops and Addidas had it changed to 4, maybe i'm making that up or was just a gullible kid at the time.

[davidcorks 40yard OG]

No 1 all the way for me
No 2 is s*** beyond belief
No 3 is crap as well but will probably win

[number_one]

First one, is it to early to whinge about them not being ready for the holiday season?

[MikeinBlack2]

Think I'll hold out for the away kit!

[Neil Johnson]

No. 1 for me. looks smart. (cant have 3 hoops as Adidas trade mark then and now)

No. 2 Gateshead

No. 3 Too Busy for a football shirt

[joejaques]

Maybe it's an age thing, but of the three options, it has to be no.3. Though I would have preferred broader hoops.

Seeing as though you seem to know, what is Adidas' trademark?

[dfcchris]

Not bothered won't be buying one they are all shocking. Who designed and went for these?

[dickdarlington]

I'm voting for kit three, but it's the best of a bad bunch. Saying that though, I didn't like from the images. For me, it has to be hoops. I know we've not always played in them, but they are clearly identifiable as Darlington. And for that we should play in them each and every year. There is enough to play about with to keep them interesting and different each season. The moment we don't play in hoops everyone starts to moan about it, and in recent times, more basic white shirts have been associated with nothing less than horrific traumas.

If Celtic or QPR decided they were going to ditch their hoops, there would be hell on.
