I don’t want to throw too much shade, but there’s an article on the CCFC website where Allsopp & Allsopp talk about their new logo, which they’re clearly quite proud of. Don’t want to come across as a churl, but… yeah.

Yeah, maybe they have an ampersand fetish. Who knows!

Had a go at redesigning their logo for fun. I reckon it wouldn’t take much effort to turn their soulless mark into something distinctive and interesting.

The problem with the one on the website is it’s got a really wide aspect ratio, which means to fit it in you have to make the text so tiny it’s impossible to read except up close — useless for a sponsorship hoarding. They have a variant which puts the text on two lines (which is the one I used...

It’s a crap logo. Genuinely proper cookie cutter crap — the ampersand is Trajan (a.k.a. The Movie Font) and the text itself is just heavily spaced out Avenir. You could knock something better out in half an hour with a little creativity. Imagine deciding that you wanted the most visible and...

That’s all fair enough and I would 100% agree with you we’re it not for them specifically mentioning baby sizes. If they can justify ordering those, they can justify adult womens sizes too.

Oh, and to add one more point my wife just made: these kits are expensive. Why spend a lot of money on an item of clothing that doesn’t fit you well?

Not yet and that’s fair enough, maybe they will make womens sizes. But if they don’t, then I could understand our female supporters being a bit miffed, given they’re going to make them in baby sizes. At least with Nike they had the excuse there was no option for that given they were using more...

Is it really so unreasonable to ask that if they can make the kit in baby sizes they can also make it in womens’ sizes too? Is that really so much to ask, or get affronted at by being asked? Is it?

This is A-grade nonsense. Come on, check yourself mate.

I think there’s definitely some legal questions concerning reproducing shirts which feature currently extant sportswear brands like Umbro, Asics and Admiral - irrespective of the club logo situation. However in the case of Ribero that company went bust back in the early 90s (which is why both...

Middlesboro’s away kit (made by Hummel) was unveiled today. Might give us some hints:

Imagine for a minute that our deal with Nike didn’t end this year, but carried on for this season (probably a crappy template) but then also next season… this is potentially what we could have had as our base template: I have to say I really like that, and I’d have loved to see us wearing it...

From looking at the various kits they’ve made globally I’m pretty sure that Hummel operates design subsidiaries in various markets. You can see for example they use this and other more elaborate collar designs for a few clubs in Japan — also note the variant logo with the two chevrons. Then for...

This is interesting stuff, and it’s certainly a familiar story — I work at a big company you often hear about in the press, and some of the stuff that gets reported is such categorical nonsense, but it’s very much not a good idea to wade in on social media and point out the mistakes, for all the...

Since it’s less depressing than talking about real world stuff to do with the club, and until somebody tells me to stop, I’m gonna just keep making fantasy kits. This weekend the chap who runs the @MemoryLaneCCFC Twitter account asked if I would make a version of the design I made initially but...

andypanchy87 is back I see.

Seeing that Cambridge shirt fills me with optimism for what they might do for us. My ultimate dream would be they did something with the Ribero kit from 1992-94, but another one I’d love to see again is the 86-87 stripes*: *Yeah I know some of you hate stripes. Sue me.

One of the few City games I’ve been to in the last few years was when we played away at Southend the season when it looked like we were going to win League One. I may be misremembering but I think neither Armstrong nor Murphy was in the side that day, and Maddison had already been sold but...

Somebody on Twitter asked for a Roma-inspired one too:
