I like the idea of having it at society but it was a complete farce. You would have to be 7ft tall to see anything.

Just seen a photo kinda wish I hadn't though. Yeah I've seen one too. The wings look huge on the tops I'm hoping it was just that one photo (lighting didn't help at all in the nightclub) but the wings look way to big, the main sponsor logo looked tiny as well. Did hear the players were not their until nearly 9, lot of folk waiting for a long time in that's right.

Tops look not bad BUT the wings are far to big, looks like someone on photoshop couldn't work out how to reduce the size of them. Sponsors logo Merc in particular is far to small. If i was them I wouldn't be happy that the name isn't in a far more central position. Look at last years the main sponsor is right above the wings.
Move them to them to the right spot reduce the wings by 25% and you have a good top.
Was there any reason the challenge cup tops were not on show?
Last moan, official photos released very late last night are awful you cant see the tops in all but one photo. I know its not a huge deal in the grand scheme of things but doing these little things right can make such a huge difference.

Its not that the wings are too big, in proportion to the badge they are the right size, its because the logo/badge as a whole is way too big, if they made the wings in particular smaller it would look even more ridiculous. Logo way too big, needs to be smaller so the entire wings actually fit onto the front of the jersey lmao

Your right though just reducing the "wings" would look worse

I really don't give a rats about adverts on jerseys , let's assume that there are minimum and maximum dimesions for logos as there are in other sports,don't imagine any 'rules' having been breached. You can never have the club badge too big. Changing designs year in year out is tiresome though, understand the commercials but as players rarely stay more than a couple of years then fans would likely buy new jerseys just to update the name on the back. Get a classic design and stick with it.

Maybe the strips will look better in real life, they look duff in the photographs.

I'm kind of going against the grain here but I actually think they're quite cool! Also the Mercs and the nightclub shirt launch although doesn't really matter but it does add a bit of glamour for the players, LeBlanc for example looks like he's loving the merc and the seaside town, it may help in the long run attract players, maybe

Ronniemac claims he was responsible for Flyers gaining admission to the Elite League - well I didnt know that but it made me smile I have been watching Flyers longer than he has and have not forgotten the days when only a handful of us sat in Section B and that was our total attendance. We should be thankful for the progress made since Ronniemac got us into the Elite League. People have short memories. What are you on about only a handful in section B and that was the attendance??? The only time that ever has happened is during junior games if even then. So when did you start watching the flyers? Pretty sure Ronnie never claimed he was responsible for Flyers getting into the elite. Go and read his post again. I`ve been going since 1967 and though crowds were low at times, never down to a handful that I remember. Certainly not any game I was at but didn`t go every week in the 70s. Before Heineken took over, a Racers game would draw around 300 iirc In 1986/87 I turned about 300 away at the door

I thought it was more than 300 getting turned away during the Heineken days

Crowds did get down to only a few hundred in the last couple of years before we joined the EIHL.
