The problem with stripes front and back is unless you have a block of colour, names and numbers are difficult to read for many of us.Must be a family taste then. What I would like to see on any of the kits, and I realise this isn't going to happen, is to have stripes front and back. I don't like the big block of red on the back. I also go along with the calls for a return to black shorts.
It seems that Bedale Town have no shame, not content with the sausage kit they have now gone see through! (All in a good cause of course)Maybe Carpetright were planning something along these lines and have agreed not to.

It doesn't need to be such a large block though. Sheffield Wednesday had a decent enough sized squared to accommodate shirt numbers on their shirts back in the good old days if 1-14 and no names and it wasn't that encroaching on the stripes as these designs are. It's easy enough to do this and accommodate a bar between the shoulders for a name.The problem with stripes front and back is unless you have a block of colour, names and numbers are difficult to read for many of us.
I do. Not everyone has 20:20 vision and full spectrum colour. Don't be so selfish. A block big enough for number and name will solve the problem, of course but that's not what Harris said originally.For once I'm with Harris. Stripes front and back rather than a block. Numbers and names can be on a small block that goes over the stripes. Besides, when all's said and done, who cares if supporters can't read names and numbers?
And if you're going to have a block big enough to cover number AND name you may as well have option 1 or 3 anyway. I personally prefer the whole solid back. Interesting that it's always solid red and never white. Probably for the best actuallyI do. Not everyone has 20:20 vision and full spectrum colour. Don't be so selfish.
