Not much of a glimpse at the new design though, we know it hasn’t got a collar.

Looks like it might be broad stripes too.

Hmm, red. But at least it isn't as ugly as last season's. Going by that picture, it looks like we're having a plain white back as well. 

The back resembles a Derby shirt. I hope the front has more and thicker stripes than we’ve seen in recent years. I don’t mind a plain white back, but I wish we had a more traditional shirt.

i dont care that the sponsor on the back is red, tho its nice to see a glimpse of the shirt. it does not reveal much at all.

It really doesn’t bother me that the sponsors name is in red. Totally unnecessary having a meltdown over it, especially as they are putting money into our club. I’m grateful to them for the sponsorship deal. 

I agree with @liampie and @MuddyPatchPie who cares if the lettering is red, it’s only a colour, in the grand scheme of things the support from Pye Auctions is much more important than the colour of their logo.

Boring.... Nothing to see here. ????

I like the partnership, but I don't like teasing the shirt in order to get clicks on the sponsor article. If fans are having a meltdown because some red appears on the back, we've been here before and really, it's nothing.

When we had the comedy club sponsor, I understood where fans were coming from with that.

Yet not this, it's just petty as always.

Sponsor being in red really has caused a meltdown on socials. I don't get it tbf, it's just a sponsor in red. As long as the partnerships good and kit is nice it really doesn't matter about a bit of red writing.

The comedy club sponsor was very apt, especially THAT season. 

Some fans are talking about starting an appeal to get it changed! How sad, just a little bit of writing in red. If it were more prominent or ruined the shirt, I might feel differently, but this is just silly. I’m thankful for the money as we can put it to good use.

I have no issue with the sponsor. Ladbrokes had red in their logo, but what matters is the design of the shirt itself. I can accept a little bit of red; it’s not as if the white stripes have been replaced with red. The club has gained promotion after spending four years in the National League, and some people are being mardy over a sponsor’s red text.

The ultimate case of trolling, with the joke being on us.

@DangerousSausage I have been tempted to locate a font similar to 'Jongleurs' but despite it being funny to replace it with Notts County. I didn't think many would see the humour in it.

I don’t understand the complaints. It’s just a slight bit of red, and there have been numerous times when sponsors have had it. Nobody complained when the British Heart Foundation had their patch on our shirts.

I would understand the complaints if a logical and rational reason could be given, other than the colour red. Those complaining are probably the first to suck up to Forest when we’re getting loan players from them, and then the first to call them out when we don’t. It’s not a reason to be upset, and if these fans choose not to buy the shirt because a sponsor has red text, then so be it. Plenty of others will. I can’t imagine hearing a valid argument as to why it shouldn’t be on our shirt. It’s unconnected to Forest; it’s just a colour. What’s the big deal?

It just seems a bit unnecessary @allardyces tash, we play in black and white and sponsors with bright colours cheapen the look of the shirt. A red sponsor and a gold trim would just look a bit naff in my opinion.

I've just seen a mock-up with the sponsor's text in white on a black rectangle, it's very visible yet it blends in with the shirt very well. I'm hoping it'll be something like that, with the red text restricted to the back of the shirt.
