The collar and cuff on the new Shels top would have looked well on a City shirt.

Looks more like a Sligo top than a Shels one tbh. Since when did they have stripes (albeit thin) ?
Come on Steve. Give them a little creative license. You're not suggesting every team churn out the same top year in year out?

Shels look like sligo. Sligo looks like Derry. Derry looks like Welling Utd.

And quality over quantity ever time... i've got both this one and the last one and there is no comparison :lol:

Presumably we can't have a dual partnership? One company for the kit and a local company for merch etc?

We did an away top just like that about 15 years ago. Navy blue with a white swirl and a red badge.

I get that but the similarities are uncanny. If you not seen it go and check it out. It’s practically that rig that he’s joking about.

The first image only swap the colours round

The second image isnt bad

The third image would be a good away strip but the first image could cover as an away strip too

I quite like the Treaty United shirt, which is also made by O'Neills = https://www.oneills.com/uk_en/treaty-un ... dults.html

A different coloured collar and cuffs on that would work well IMO. But I doubt O'Neills would have the same kit for 2 cubs in our league.

Big day tomorrow when we get to find out. Thank God there's been no leaks and dramas about it all this time anyway :lol:

There is nothing more certain than folk coming on here tomorrow to say how terrible the shirt looks.

Will it actually be available to buy tomorrow, or is it just a reveal for now?

"The shirt will be available online from 19:30 and then be available in the Brandywell on Thursday from 09:45."

It's the "DUP East Londonderry" as the main shirt sponsor that surprised me. Good step forward for society there.

Credit to those involved, it looks well! I'd imagine it will sell in good numbers
