The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Red for me, it was our original colour when we merged.

One of the few good things that Keith Cousins did was to scrap the Red home / Blue Away kits that had witnessed such mediocrity, especially under Paul Hart - for a couple of examples see Mal's pics at the bottom of these reports.

New Club. New Direction. New Colours.

Completely disagree with that if I'm honest.



I quite like the designs, and I liked the old macron shirts. Bit strange that we'll have different kit suppliers. They'll be Joma, tempest and macron gear kicking about next year then?


I don't like the red, simply because of K*ttering.

I'm not entirely convinced of the idea of having a third kit, obviously I appreciate that a proportion of the money is going to a great cause. But if that was the case I felt something more eccentric may have been a better option.

As long as the home kits white and the away kit is yellow, I'm not bothered about the third.

I really like the sky blue. This is a 3rd strip remember. We will probably never play in it. 3rd strips by design are meant to be different and i like it

However the EA badge looks awful on all of them and could be better in white

Shirt colour doesn't affect mediocrity, it's the poor players & managers that wear & sign them that do.

The text was used as an indication of what colour would be my choice for the 3rd kit. The club is new and I wasn't suggesting a new kit colour overall, just for the 3rd kit, which is hardly likely to be worn.

We went with Tempest for this season as they seemed the best placed to be able to deliver the design, I think the kit, being the first for the mens team is great, especially as all the kids team and ladies wear it as well.

Ask Jon about the supply :lol: :lol: :lol:

I agree with this

Not keen on any of them, but as i've got the right to vote i'll go with...

-Red
-Sky Blue
-Blue

Would have liked to have seen something really unique or unusual, there was a lot of call for that on the members forum when the idea was suggested. I think Rob's got the right word... 'meh'.

Really glad we've gone to the effort of organising it then
