That picture really is a teaser, doesn't give much away at all. 

I'm not worried about the red, purposely show that bit first so the fans think the worst and then get all the plaudits when the John Pye text colour on the front matches our badge or is black/white! They altered their colours for the cricket shirts to tie-in so I'm sure they've done it with us too... ????????

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.

That sounds very well and fair. However, it seems like you would accept it for what it is.

My point is that those who campaign to change it are being typically negative just because of a little bit of red text.

It's the close season @allardyces tash, people are looking for things to talk or get outraged about. I thought last season's shirts left a lot to desire, so I didn't buy one. But then the actual football starts and you move on. These people will too.

I draw the line at white shorts though. We've worn them for three seasons since we switched to black and white. We got relegated twice, and the other season was our worst league finish to date. Nope.

I know a lot of Notts fans like to find something to whine about, but this isn’t one of them. We should be more bothered by the actual release of the shirts and the fact that the club extended a 5-year deal with a company that treats us fans as if we don’t matter. Not a paying sponsor, because this could put others off. It might make sponsors who don’t have red in their logo or name rethink if this is the type of fan base they want to associate with. It’s pathetic.

These fans need to think about the important things, like the fact that we still exist and have good owners, etc. Not anything minor to make a molehill out of.

I am as anti-Forest as one can be, but even I find this complaint to be ridiculous. It’s not intruding; it’s a paying sponsor and it’s red on text. The logo isn’t horrible, it’s not all over, and most people will forget about it.

If the logo were bigger, uglier, and more distracting, I might have a different opinion. However, who are we to ask a paying sponsor to either change their chosen colour or cancel any current or future agreements due to the use of red? It makes Notts look like a laughing stock.

I understand that people will want to talk about it and that points of view will differ. However, I stand by my comments that complaining about some small red text on the back of the shirt is pointless. If fans are actively looking to be outraged, then they are just as bad as those who are overly sensitive. i.e woke and Karen types.

Not sure what the issue is with a bit of red it's not like we've never had red on the shirt in our history at all ever is it 

I don’t mind that the shirt has a little bit of red on it from one of the sponsors. If it was dominant or ugly, I might see the point of being vocal against it, but having seen the teaser, it’s nothing to get wound up about. If people continue to complain, they need to get in touch with someone to help them.

If you asked me for my honest opinion, I would say that some people take serial complaining too far. It’s exactly what’s wrong with the world. There’s little thanks, even fewer focus on the right things, but it’s acceptable to find something trivial and latch onto it.

It’s not the end of the world. Does it ruin the shirt? No, not really. I can understand that some may not want a certain sponsor due to political reasons, but a colour? Seriously? It’s madness.

I think it’s about time the club showed us the full shirt. There’s a rumoured one going around on social media which might be it, but I think it’s important for the club to reveal them now. I think it’s unfair for them to expect us to wait until closer to when Puma will deliver them; drumming up interest now might make people more open to buying them in advance.

It’s not the end of the world. The principal sponsor is the name for the company that sponsors the area above a player’s name, correct? It’s not even on the front of the shirt, so what’s the big deal?

I’m hoping that we’ll get to see the shirt earlier than the final home friendly. From a design perspective, I’m more interested in the away shirt this season and I’m hoping it looks nice.

It can't be as bad as last seasons shirts... the home one was horrid and the away wasnt much better. Its abit hard to say what it looks like from tha though although possiblt not the horrible pin stripes.

At this point, I really don’t care what the shirt looks like. Many teams at this stage have already released their new designs and most have already shown them. We are holding off as a promotional push to drive sales and it’s becoming frustrating. It’s making me very uninterested in when they do get released.

I understand the frustration; it doesn’t help with Puma delaying the kit’s release, but I think that’s not solely their fault. Hopefully, the club will show what the kits look like, and both prove to be popular.
