Dissapointing Annaversary Shirts

[Budgie]

Can't express enough how dissapointed I was when I saw the Annaversary Shirts!

They look like they were bought in Bessamer Road Market and sombody from the office (the tea boy probably) stuck the badges on

Apparently they reflect all things related to the Devils, come on now where is the green, where is the black and where is the silver all colours that have appeared on the devils shirts over the past 25 years.

I thought they looked quite smart. Understated, meaningful enough.

Put all the colors in, and they would have looked overly cluttered.

The shirts themselves actually look higher quality than the actual Jerseys, and seem to be embroidered.

We were commenting that they reminded us of NHL shirts. Club logo, and competition patch and nothing else.

All in, well done Devils.

The Detroit Red wings winter classic Jersey maybe ?

And I have to agree with Budgie. I'm not keen on it.

 

[TheStub]

Well yes Exactly the example we came up with :lol:

 

[samidevils]

Reminded me of the old Racers shirts!! Wheres wally kind of shirt!! :lol: Personally didn't like them!

 

[Budgie]

We have waited 25 years for these and they look like training shirts!

I think a bit more imagination and design could have been put into them!

Just to show we all like different things, my idea of hell would be a Christmas tree jersey. I would have preferred white on red (I like dark jerseys)... but please no green or silver.

Now your starting to think design, I like that.

I will agree that a Red Shirt would have been better,, RED ARMY!!!!!!!!!!

If they do a road jersey with the white on red, I will buy that. Much nicer I think

 

[TheStub]

We play white at home, they were always going to be white.

And for everyone who would want it red, a similar number would want it white.

Just be thankful that it isn't a Rhino, and not like a Blaze Christmas Jersey. I had nightmares featuring that and the Help For Hero's desert camo special.

I would have added a 25 on the sleeves and maybe Devils 25 on the back.

 

[BrentisGod]

Must agree, very disappointing. Would appear that not alot of time went into the design.

 

[Budgie]

Hey Stub I can see you are thinking design, already dismissing the bad and the ugly, just need to get to the good!

Snap, but as engineers we have to balance form and function with asthetics

I'm a Systems Engineer. I'll design you a perfect network and write some stunning looking source code.

I would have added a 25 on the sleeves and maybe Devils 25 on the back.

...and be charged twice the price due to the added cost of production.

Damned if you do...damned if you don't.

Personally not too keen (looks like half the English flag) but then it's personal preference and I'm not bothered about having the latest jerseys anyway. Having gone through the process myself of getting team jerseys sorted it's a case of whatever you do you'll get some that like the result and some that won't...either way, in this case they'll sell.

As mentioned it could have been an overly busy Rhino jersey that would look dated and naff in no time at all...at least that won't be the case here.

They normally look naff as soon as they are come off the production line. Although the new embossed Rhino shirts look nicer, almost as good as a CH sports shirt :lol:

 

[Derby Devil]

Upside of a Rhino jersey is Hicks wouldn't make any money out of us

Hmmmmmmm hard call........... Rhino jerseys or a poke in the eye for Hicksey

 

[wildthing74]

Each to their own but I think they look very smart.Classic design in an understated way and certainly a jersey that can be worn for many years without looking dated.Maybe I'm being biased as I've always been a 'Wings fan and they are clearly ripping off the winter classic design.
I have always liked shirs with the tie effect too but I am told they are very snug fitting so maybe have to have an extra X on the size
