Never again should they send us out a 'mixed identity' kit like the NWO's Adidas three green abomination.
Obviously I've a strong preference for our now established and identifiable Argyle green, but, subject to a majority vote (which there's never been) I'd even rather see an pukey pale Yeovil green than a mixed green kit. Hopefully that demonstrates to those who know I'd brandish a pitchfork in defence of Argyle green JUST how abhorrent I must find mixing greens up
People dislike the word branding but it does have a very important purpose. It distinguishes us. A multiple green sends out the message that even we don't even know who we are
The idea that multiple greens shows we don't know our identity is ridiculous, it's not a completely different colour, it's merely shades. There's so much disagreement over the type of green we should wear, so why not incorperate different ones?
Even clubs like Manchester United change to different kit styles and incorporate different shades of red. Frankly it's quite boring to keep the same year on year. I agree about 'Argyle green', but I, and many other youngsters are becoming less and less bothered with heritage. I mean, a club crest and a stadium is very different to a kit.
I, and a lot of others view Argyle as playing in green. I like the shade we have but couldn't give a squat if we changed shade, green is green though having it darker makes us a touch more identifiable.
I think we need to keep more up to date with the modern styles, move forward, make kits a bit more interesting. I pray we never have a plain green shirt again, it's just so dull.
I hope by "many other youngsters" you still mean a minority else we're all flipped over if the next generation don't care for our heritage :facepalm:
People always talk about players needing to "play for the shirt" because the Argyle shirt means something, it stands for everything that this club represents, it is our identity and provides that link between the players wearing it on the pitch and the fans wearing it in the stand. Thing is that shirt isn't just a badge plonked onto any old background not even any old green, the shirt that holds value to us as fans is coloured green, not just any old green either but Argyle's green and has been in some form or another ever since I started supporting this club a good 12 years ago now, it means something to me.
If you don't care for the shade of green then fine wear any old green you like to games, simple as that. For some of us though do care, it holds value in that it differentiates our Argyle from any old club up and down the FL. When I see that green I see our players celebrating with the Division 2 trophy wearing that colour, I see Karl Duguid charging celebrating like we'd won the FA Cup at the Emirates wearing our colours, I see Marino Keith heading home the first ever goal I saw at Home Park. If the shade of green doesn't matter to you then fine, but it bleddy well does to me :scarf:
Well, heaven forfend, we don`t want your 12 year history to be overshadowed by the previous 120 years or so, this dull, turgid, morbid shade of green is in no way traditional Gyles.

Agreement is a rarity between us on shirts Nai, but that bemused 'i'm so disoriented I may just have dropped a log in my hammock' emotion sums up my reaction too.
Beginning to seriously worry about Adam with those two crown emulsion swatch numbers. I think he's started on the Christmas Sherry a bit early.
Started weeks ago mate.
I guess sometimes its good to have a few bad designs to make you appreciate the good ones....
