Don't know if Keighley supporters would agree but my view is that there is no way Keighley should put that away shirt design into production. Keighley has no affinity to those colours and the design is stupid IMO.

There have been some good alternative suggestions - mainly black shirt with red, green & white trim or mainly white with red & green trim (preferably some form of vee).
Surely it's not too late to have a re-think, especially (so far as I know) there was no advance consultation with Keighley supporters.
My suggestion for an away shirt (if there really is a need to avoid the club colours of red, green & white for some reason) would be to use the design of the new home shirt and change the red and green hoops to pale blue and white (as recognition of the club colours from up to the 1950's pre the red, green & white era).

+ add the Keighley Coat of Arms on the right breast.

Home Kit - Quite like on first view.

Away Kit - Hate it. The colour scheme is just random and says nothing about the club.

Just my opinion. I'm sure some may like it.

I'm sorry to say opening the shop so late in the day is poor. Whoever's fault it was regarding the delay with the shirt, the club shop should have been open well in advance of Christmas. No doubt most people will have bought the presents in the main and this is a massive lost opportunity. The shop could and should have been stocked with other merchandise and this IMO is another own goal. Can the club employ an operations manager or someone who knows about commerce and marketing?

One can only assume the club got a good deal with the shirt, but how expensive was that decision given the lost commercial opportunities?

I don't think it is random, it matches the colours of the main shirt sponsor. Not sure why they have included stripes though.

It does not look like a keighley shirt, but if you check the away shirts for Salford, Wigan, Leeds etc they all seem unconnected to their club. It seems to be the fashion!

I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!

Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.

I understand from 'Ave Bulls won?' (and someone's already mentioned it above) that the new shirt does not have the Keighley coat of arms on it. Our town's coat of arms has been a very welcome addition to Cougars shirts over the past few years and not to have it on this one is a major disappointment. It MUST return next season. Some consultation with the fans is in order when the kit is being designed.

We are from Keighley. We are NOT Bradfordians.

It would be nice if the fans got a say in the design , I think I like the new home one ,
It Is OK if a bit of a mish mash but it would be good if maybe the fans had a vote on three
different designs.

Like the home kit. Very smart.

Away kit is the worst one yet. Those colours have nothing to do with our team. Blue in recognition of our original colours should be pretty standard. If not that then a white or black shirt with some sort of red and green trim.
