I wonder if the shade of colour looks lighter in person.
The photos of the kit in the club shop on Twitter look a bit lighter.

New home shirt unveiled
- Thread starter PL2 3DQ
- Start date
Are we the only team in the UK that camouflage for midweek evening games? :greensmile:
As we're into data analysis why doesn't someone analyse the number of evening homes games we've lost since Peter Jones's branding 'green' came in. It must be an eye opener surely.
Did I mention Peter admitted to me he was colour blind? (True Story) and he very much reads this site on a VERY regular basis. :wave:

That’s the thing I don’t get though, because loads of other clubs mix up the shades of their shirt from season to season. Why have we got this permanent and unchangeable branding, and no-one else has?
The most relevant example is the most famous green shirted club beside ourselves... the ‘Les Verts’ of St Etienne. Google ‘Saint Etienne Le Coq Sportif shirts’ so you get the most recent ones, and you have several different shades.
Remember, you’re not changing the branding of the club. You’re changing the colour of a shirt that lasts one season. That’s thrown into sharp focus when you release a shirt based on the 1984 kit, but for some reason have to stick to the dark green ‘branding’ and it doesn’t quite work with the black pinstripes. And isn’t a proper homage to that kit anyway. Surely you just make it brighter green like the original :lol:

Sounds like something to be brought up at next Fans Forum? Guess that will be hrld in/around start of season.
Can't say I remember it being raised previously although I missed last one. Go for it Biggs :thumbup:
It's an odd situation because some fans don't like the current green and yet the club say each year there are record sales so maybe it's an Internet thing.
Or is it overall sales that is a record each year, the away shirt or third shirt sales compensating for low sales of the home shirts?
It would be good to see a break down each year of sales of home, away and third shirt sales.

Yep, I suspect that it’s the away shirts making more sales, but would love to see. I personally think the actual shirt designs have been really good in recent years, especially those away/third shirts and especially since Ginsters fully dropped the red blob for us.
I think the good designs combined with the fact that increasing amounts of people buy the shirts no matter what (especially last year, to help the club), result in good sales.
I highly suspect a bright green shirt would sell record numbers for a home kit, even if it’s purely because it’s a refreshing change after 20 years and there’s more reason to buy something different. And the ‘brighter future’ marketing writes itself.

Who are the 'they' that dictate what colour 'our' club wears?
'We' are 'us': the supporters. Many of 'us' have followed and invested in the club since WW2 or just after!!
Aren't 'they' employed by 'us'?
Don't 'we' get a choice as to what 'they' say that 'we' should wear?? :crazy:
I like this shirt very much. I don’t usually buy Argyle shirts but I might make an exception with this one- its nice and simple and I love the pinstripes. Looking forward to seeing this shirt in person.
Personally I like black shorts- if you look back at the historical kits Argyle has spent long periods playing with black shorts and white socks. My favourite shirt of all time is the 1980s National and Provincial and this one is kind of similar (although a darker shade).

I’m not a fan of pinstripes , good green would like the black stripes.
Though in all honesty I just want a winning team in green.

the design is really nice but it's hard to tell what the shade of green will look like based only on pictures.
The photos from the club shop on the Argyle twitter feed look good, but I suspect they've been well illuminated.
If it's the same shade as the past few seasons, it'll look navy blue/mud coloured from more than a metre or two away.

The brand is Plymouth Argyle Football Club not the shirt colour, The Ginsters logo is in white script which couldn`t be further from their normal branding, but it is still recognisable as Ginsters.
