I don't get the opprobrium for Dundalk's tbh.
Sure it loks like a Bohs away kit.
Very similar to the "V" template that Umbro were using back in 2012/13.

Deal supposedly being wrapped up with Boylesports at the minuteQuote:

I just do not get the need for the additional fuss on a shirt. I know ive said it dozens of times yearly but added motifs like here around the neck ruins the shirt imo especially when the Umbro and Club badges overlap the 'traingles' in an unbalanced way. The saving grace is that the sponsor does fit well. The last and probably only shirt that had that background shading that seemed to work was the old RoI kit from 1990 (?) World Cup but maybe Im swayed on nostalgia in that regard.
Sleeves are ****e on that Pat's jersey.
This is obviously a new kit thread and everyone will have their views, the new DFC one has grown on me a little, saw it in the flesh last weekend, but will still take a bit to get used to. Would still prefer a collar and a little less red mind !
Probably a little disappointed also the tri-colour is gone from the back, although not sure if this will be the same for the players versions, anyway the sales seemed to have gone well and the negative comments seem to have reduced so maybe its all calmed down now.
To be honest, there is a lot more pressing matters for DFC fans to be worried about, and this concerns the ground, it wouldn't kill the owners, nor would it cost them the earth to make an announcement on even modest improvements to the ground before Feb, so many items could be fixed up in these two months.
I like it. Not as last as their kit last year but still a very good kit.
Assume you are on about Pats not DFC kit ?Quote:

Supply has been a problem in the past with Umbro so its quite possible that the choice that Dundalk made was to ensure stock would be available before christmas - and this effort was one that could be supplied in time and volume so just maybe its not a straight forward choice. Not to have a new kit in for Christmas even if not the club's top choice would have been an unredeemable disaster. Away kit may be a bit more interesting....
Wouldn't like the crap on the front, looks like they spilled something on it 😁 but other than that it's OK. Like the sleevesQuote:

Presume you mean financial revenue for Bohs - not such paupers at all then with figures that eclipse any European prizemoney net income of recent years? Or maybe Bohs had to hand over the money generated by the image in image rights - if that makes sense?
Bohs didn't sell any Bob Marley jerseys though.Quote:

Don't want to intrude on your self congratulation here but The outcome was called well in advance by a Bohs poster.
A bit of mild embarrassment for the club but luckily did more good than harm.
Bohs bought the image rights of a third party company who sells rights like this. It turns out they didn't actually own the image itself. Bohs then successfully took out legal action against that company.Quote:

From what Ive seen so far:
Cork is mostly grand, although Idon't like how the 3 adidas lines hit the shoulders.
Rovers is ok, simple but that's fine. Not much can be done with hoops really.
Shels is a bit too plain.
Pats is ok, needed something to break up the solid red centre.
Drogheda's one is the best I've seen.
Dundalk is atrocious, looks like a MS Paint job.
I'm told the Dundalk one will look better in full strip with black shorts / white socks, and only very small red on these parts, but I wouldn't have gone with so much red on the jersey, plus its missing a collar in my view.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, congrats on achieving half of that 😁Quote:

Yep, a real disaster alright
It grows on me the more I see it. It won't live long in the memory once it's gone but I think the biggest issue with it is the sponsor. Now fyffes are paying the money so their entitled to have their unadulterated logo on it but it's an eyesoreQuote:

No exaggeration there at all David?Quote:

3.6 million ! We are all playing for second place next season with with bohs having that budget :)
Sorry it wasn't "ad revenue". The club received exposure from the jersey going worldwide. Trends on twitter, interactions from around the world, clicks to website etc - to pay for the same amount of exposure would have cost approximately 3.6m. Or so the study said. There was no physical income from this as such. Just the 80kQuote:

Ah here.
Let's just agree that your original post was bull**** and move on?
This is getting into "Dublin City have sold more jerseys than anyone else" territory to be honest.
Any exposure was worth next to **** all. It might have cost 3.6m in some report, but it would have been 3.6m utterly wasted if so.
Though I guess Bohs are used to wasting 3.6m...
Take a day off Stu. There was a sentence incorrectly worded in my op. There's no bull**** here. You can take it or leave it.Quote:

With regards to exposure, do you have any idea how many fans bohs get a year from abroad? Not a game goes by where there isn't a load of Germans or Austrians, English etc enjoying themselves at Dalymount. Being in Dublin City helps, but it's often far from accident. The Copa 90 video, the jersey etc all help. Also, Bohs attendances have doubled since 2014 and they'll increase massively next year again. I can tell you one thing, marketing or advertising isn't where you work anyway.
Sorry David. There was a load of guff at the start of this thing - they had all the angles covered, etc - and it all turned out to be nonsense.
I'm happy to suspect for the moment that the 80k is nonsense too. 2000 jerseys is was illegal to sell? Not buying it. And certainly the 3.6m is nonsense, even after you correct your fundamentally significant "one-word error" and turn it into something completely unsubstantiatable.
Bohs have certainly done great community work and marketing, for sure. Doesn't mean that your figures sang up here.
Maybe get Maxi to head to the Umbro head office ? 😁 might "focus" their minds on the 2nd and 3rd strip.Quote:

You mean 3.6m in equivalent advertising value?Quote:
