Slim Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Rightly or wrongly, the bottom line is that the club's revenue is going to be reduced because the people at the club who are paid to maximise merchandising revenue failed to predict that a blue away kit would not be popular with the majority of our supporters. The fact that we may have worn a blue away kit before most of our supporters were born doesn't make it any better of an idea. A plain generic white kit straight out of the Adidas team wear catalogue would sell better than this, it just doesn't make any sense that it would get to the stage of it being produced and stocked without someone along the chain of approval asking "are you fucking mental?"

Goldie03 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Fuck I got carried away talking about the top and forgot my self imposed rule never to respond to anything that Kingsford or Rocket say - I was actually wondering the other day if they were one and the same person cause they are both so fucking annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baggy89 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 It appears that Victoria Utd played in a blue kit but AFC have never played in a blue home shirt. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Scottish_Football_League/Aberdeen/Aberdeen.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Completely different shade of blue imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elgindon Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Quite a smart looking top IMO,but club should have foreseen the backlash unless its a cunning ploy to sell more home tops.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the essence of the thing. You have to wonder if the people in charge of stuff like this are even football fans. An Aberdeen fan for life of course but if you lived in a different city, in a different country, with no ties at all to home, you would like to think that you could choose a team to watch. What's the chances you would pick a team wearing blue? Would I pick Lasio over Roma? nah I tried to watch Ferencvaros regularly, Green and White ( some fans even wearing Celtic jerseys) I couldn't do it. I'd a German girlfriend once, therefore my German team is Shalke 04 I'm pretty sure I'd have made an effort to go and see them if they hadn't worn blue. Don't bother telling me to grow up, I have to be grown up about lots of things, I've no intention of being grown up about football. Setting myself up there, I understand, but so what, the thought of being in the pub before a big match along with Dons fans wearing blue makes me want to puke.

100% Anti Kingsford Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 www.specsavers.com Presume you lot don't wear 'blue jeans' and refuse to go outside on a sunny day as the sky is 'blue'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 As has been said, the main issue is who the fuck is going to actually buy that. Any plain white kit whatsoever would outsell that at least 10 times over so what are they thinking? Meanwhile complaining they don't have money.

Kowalski Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Some folk need to get over themselves. I think it's not bad at all. We have had blue strips in the past. Absolutely nothing Hunnish about it - take the blinkers off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jess Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Absolutely nothing Hunnish about it - take the blinkers off. Anyone who says the first thing they think of when they see that isn't RANGERS are in absolute denial. It's a ballhair of darker blue off their home top this season with the pattern as well and identical to the one from the season before.

donsdaft Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The blue shorts help a bit when it comes to watching them. I wouldn't be buying a jersey for me anyway but I certainly won't be buying one for my grandson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

100% Anti Kingsford Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Over the years our club has witnessed many a drama. The Goodwillie signing saw people 'nae gan back', the Jimmy Calderwood saga saw folk threatening to 'send the hun back to minksville' and the recent Ryan Jack fiasco saw many hoping 'some 'unt wid brak his legs'. But this summer we has seen it all. We have seen fights on Big Brother, we have seen Grenfell Tower burn down and we have seen terrorism on the streets. None of them NONE of them surpass the absolute classical virtual backlash as regards the handbags over the Dons new 'Hunish' (sic) blue away kit. Absolutely pathetic.

BigAl Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Have taken my time to react to this to allow time to reflect upon it. Questionable wisdom and probably an own goal by the club's marketing department HOWEVER, there is only one issue which matters to me and that is that the kit contains the AFC badge and as such I will support my team regardless of what ill thought through colour we choose to play in.
