Thoughts On New Kit...

**Pauro 76** · 27/07/2001, 2:36 PM

Wasnt at the Cardiff game, but just seen the new kit in the Longford News this morning. Very impressive indeed, i was worried becuase Errea make Athlones kit, and i thought we'd end up with a kit exactly like Athlone's only different colours. I was wrong, it kind of reminds me of AC Milans kit, but thats no bad comparison, and with the white border around Flancare gone, it looks a lot less cheaper than the ironed on sponsor name last time. And the fact that no other team will have the same design as us is great too, e.g. Shelbourne, same design as Chelsea away, Shamrock Rovers, same design as Celtic. Good stuff Errea, cant wait to see the away one....

Not on the website yet (hurry up lads!), but check out the Longford News and Leader for pics

No sign of the away kit yet? The new kit looks good - although Lavine doesn't look too happy.
btw Ash - Molloy seems very impressed

Pauro7.. How can Shams avoid looking like the Celts??? one only wonders if your trying to beat CCFC's thread. cause i can see the abuse in Barbados.

speaking of which...

Macy,

Your dead f*cking right, Lavine looks so p***ed off,

Sinead.... Could I be banned at such hours of drunkiness.....please!!

**Sin�ad** · 28/07/2001, 3:16 PM

Honey.....Would I ban you???? Never

**Pauro 76** · 01/08/2001, 2:10 PM

See what ya mean about Miss Argentina in the Pat's kit. Very nice indeedy... Any suggestions on who should model the Town kit? Kirsty Gallacher would look lovely in red and black....

**Ash** · 01/08/2001, 2:46 PM

i know it was just a black and white pic but it looks the same style as De Athlones , only a diffeent colour!

The old Inter/AC - Athlone/Longford rivalry is back in full swing

**Pauro 76** · 01/08/2001, 3:37 PM

Have A!@^&E Town a new kit this season, cos i heard that LTFC's design wouldnt be used on any other jerseys... Black and blue is quite appropriate for wearing to the Longford game Ash, same colour as your future bruises!

Martystapo · 01/08/2001, 4:10 PM

Ash is dat the same Ash Cahill in SIT a few yrs ago, a very good drinking comrade of DC. U know me Marty Stapleton ! I saw your message a few weeks ago. Wot r at now? I am trying to work in Russell Brennan Keane Roscommon. Will ye cum down for the Big Euro match? I am off to Bulgaria to suport them.

**Macy** · 01/08/2001, 4:20 PM

Nice potted life story there Marty. Never heard of Private Messages

**fosterdollar** · 01/08/2001, 5:47 PM

ah yes but a rather touching use of not one but two smileys at the end of the message. just...brings... a ... tear to my eye. You go Marty. And Fly. And live life to the full. Paece man.

Is it true that Longford Town originally picked red and black in admiration af Bohs? Is it not time for the club to mature and adopt the local colours of yellow and blue (its current away colours, as worn in the cup final)

Surely this would improve the sense of local identity.

What do the members think?

**Pauro 76** · 08/08/2001, 9:37 AM

Ya might have a point, but loads of clubs have their strips in tribute to other clubs, e.g. Shamrock Rovers and Celtic. No point changing when your kit has been same colours for years.

**joe** · 08/08/2001, 9:53 AM

and don't forget Juventus and Notts. County

**Snatch** · 08/08/2001, 9:58 AM

As a Cork City fan I witnessed our dramatic colour change to the county colours of red and white a 4 years ago. It did seem strange at first but has actually been a great decision. We gainned much more affiliation from Cork people through out the county, even G.A.A. folk.
People brought Cork G.A.A. flags to matches etc.

Such a change for L.T.F.C would herald its new status as an ambitious club competing in Europe for the pride of all the sporting people of Longford.
