Next Seasons Shirt

It looks like literally every club has its own flavor from Puma this year as opposed to last year when 80% were standard and 20% bespoke. So I would say it’s no use comparing to other teams as ours will probably be unique. Which is amazing.

Stupititious - don't know that one (not being sarcky btw). I looked it up and found a modern, urban derivative of superstitious about 'stupid shit': stupidtitious. Is that what you were aiming for.

I’m flattered that your research provides education to the masses. Good on you 😜
 
They normally reduce the price of the kit towards the end of the season to get rid of them if we're getting a new one. I can understand them delaying the reduction because of the play offs but they're still advertising them on Facebook at £45.
 
Would love to buy a shirt but these Puma ones are all slim fit. Looks great if you’re a footballer but otherwise it’s not a great fit. Don’t see why they can’t do a ‘regular’ fit for fans.

I hope that, especially after the promotion, we’re better prepared than in previous seasons - end of the day football shirts are a summer accessory and I bet there’s a couple of thousand waiting with their money in their pocket for a new shirt - a bit like with the season tickets, it just feels like we’re missing out on that instant feel good factor.

There's a few clubs with Puma shirts that have started to release the shirts, so I would think that ours will be any time. I really want one for summer for sure.

They were half price before the play offs, my mum got the away shirt so probably put them back up trying to get a few quid from the feel good factor, which I can't fault them for.

Not really good business, not many are going to pay top dollar for a shirt that will be outdated in a matter of weeks. Not really a decent variety of sizes left either, most seem to be 4xl. You'd think they'd just want rid rather than be stuck with them.
 
Interesting 'Visit Blackpool' did a tweet yesterday saying they were proud to have sponsored our 20/21 shirts .. presumably means a new sponsor for the new season?

What did we think of lasts season's tangerine colour? Still way too orange for me!

We've had this disagreement so many times. I have a tangerine mug unconnected to the BFC.
It states on the base of the mug 'British Colour Standard' No 55 Tangerine. Created in 1931.
Trust me, it's only factionally less vivid than the current shirt hardly noticeable with the human eye.
I always though Tangerine was slightly darker and less bright than orange.. thank god!

There are various different shades that are considered Tangerine, owning a mug with the defined shade by the British Colour Council that ceased to exist in the 50s doesn't mean you can talk on the matter with absolute authority.

The standardised colour matching system and has been for yonks is Pantone, their version of Tangerine is as light as it gets. The colour we currently play in is closer to their "Tangerine Tango":

But lets forget about mugs and standardised colour matching systems, we should play in a colour that exists within in our badge:

That shade within the crest is more more reminiscent of this, which to me is Tangerine. Completely unique to us and unmistakably not Orange:

Then how do you know the badge is right? Wasn't the lettering redesigned quite recently. To my eye your sample looks closer to gold/amber as worn by Wolves and Hull. Your upper Pantone sample looks more red than anything I've ever seen associated with BFC.

That looks very, very close to me. On TV/highlights we actually look like we play in Red sometimes.

I think they've got it right in the crest personally. Doesn't look Amber to me and if you google the simple words "Tangerine Colour" you will see various shades but what you're immediately presented with is the exact colour that exists in our crest.

I certainly don't lose sleep over it, but I would prefer we play in the lighter Tangerine as its more unique to us. I have a 60s Blackpool top and the most recent kit, when they're hung up next to each other in the wardrobe the difference is obvious.
 
I'd much rather have the modernistic tower logo that highlights this remarkable building our town is famous for. Just like PSG have done with their badge.

Cannot fathom why people would prefer to keep the bland victoriana style crest. It's really dull and says nothing about the town.

It seems clear that the club are having a distinct move towards the tower logo in a lot of the merchandise, clothing and signage. It's far more marketable and distinctive.

I agree it's not worth loosing sleep. But every retro Pool shirt (50s and 70s) I bought started off more like the current pool top but after numerous washed ended up not to dissimilar to the amberish tangerine. Thats where the confusion comes from, particularly for older supporters. Cotton tops faded very quickly and fans got acquainted with the faded Tangerine. IMHO

Plus your BFC badge image is nothing like the official photo of the current shirt further up the board. Match colour in photoshop by any chance?😁

There will be a new sponsor I believe. Probably time to start realising the worth now. Hopefully Visit Blackpool remain on the third kit perhaps???

I personally don't think it's a case of our kits faded to the lighter colour when the lighter colour is a widely accepted (possibly the most accepted) shade of Tangerine, that'd be some coincidence. The 60s top I have is a remake and they all come in the lighter shade of Tangerine, here how Toffs remake them - I suppose they must have modelled them on how they came out after a few washes 😉

You think I photoshopped images for the sake of a debate over the shade of Tangerine on a football forum? Bloody hell..

Here are the google image links for each image I've put on here, what a hilarious accusation that is:
Blackpool FC crest
tangerine tango pantone
Blackpool FC kit 20/21
Tangerine Pantone
