Change strip and badge
Following the Members Club AGM last night and Steve Adkins' presentation it seems that there is a distinct bright light on the near horizon regarding next season's change strip colours and the club badge.
Basically we have been asked for our opinions on what colour kit to use for the change strip and which badge we would prefer to use on our football shirts in the future (subject to approval by sponsor KNK who it seems may have a veto over what badge to use ! ???)
A few suggestions were made last night but what would YOU want ?
BADGE : Classic or Modern ?
COLOURS : Suggestions so far are :--- Red/Black stripes - All white - All purple - All yellow - All red (only one person wanted to continue with the blue kit so hopefully that will be consigned to the waste bin soon.
Let's have your sensible thoughts about this thorny subject - it looks like the true supporters/members will be able to mould the future after all. 
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left !

Re: Change strip and badge
Regarding the badge - everyone knows my opinion - traditional!
Regarding the away kit, I'm not too bothered. But it needs to be completely different from black and white or you can still get a colour clash. So all white should be out. As should red and black stripes. All purple or all yellow probably make the most sense.

Yeah, righto.
I'd prefer all sky blue ( Lazioesque and no colour clash with black & white ) needless to say with the traditional badge.
How many of the rolled-up trouser leg brigade were there last night ? I'm only in the supporters club, the bog end army and the Statler & Waldorf appreciation society so I wasn't allowed in

You missed a good night... At the end we all danced naked around a burning wicker man dressed in Dulwich Hamlets colours....

The problem with red, as we'll see tonight is that both kits would then clash with teams like Sittingbourne!

Re: Change strip and badge
Not that I can get to see any games home or away stuck here in the Middle East but it must be the traditional badge...it's the club badge after all, not some design consultant's awful reconstruction.
I would favour our 'traditional' away kit of red in some form. What about all black and get the ref to change.

This clearly means that you are not a season ticket holder and must, I presume, be a fair weather supporter!
Fair weather ????? I froze my tits off at Hythe on Saturday 
We digress though........anything but red please. I don't mind a bit of red but not ALL red.

Re: Change strip and badge
Why don't we just do something a little different for the away kit? Draw attention to ourselves..
Tangerine? Blackpool's kit but with the Tooting badge??

Re: Change strip and badge
I think we should have an actual vote. It's the only way we can make sure that we get what we want.

Re: Change strip and badge
Just to stir you up a bit DeePee, I would just like to clarify that whilst only one person proactively suggested retaining the blue kit, only one person actually objected to that idea, so I think to say that it has been consigned to the waste bin is a little premature!
To be clear though, next season's change kit will not be decided by a vote on the forum. I did report to the AGM though that 1) Steve Adkins is not averse to the first team returning to the traditional badge if our sponsors (who designed the new one) are happy with that and 2) he is happy to take on board the views of the Members Club in considering what our change strip will be next season (although ultimately I think this will be governed by a combination of cost and what will be available for the 2015/16 season from our chosen suppliers)

Re: Change strip and badge
KNK designed the logo! Really...
But as a nod to KNK we could have our second kit in their livery - perhaps blue & yellow stripes?
Come on you stripes!

Re: Change strip and badge
Gary, most of the players that weren't there last night drive. Most of them also have full time jobs. So was it actually the lack of transport that prevented them from being there last night or was it a combination of timing, distance and the lack of desire to travel to deepest Kent on a cold, damp Tuesday night?

Re: Change strip and badge
If we needed the points for promotion or something, then I suggest that it would have been a much different team. But when there's nothing riding on it, there must be the temptation to have to "work late" or some similar excuse.
The same goes for the fans I think. If this game was critical to a playoff place, then I reckon we would have had 5 times as many supporters making the trip.

Re: Change strip and badge
Do you mind me asking if there could be a little extra info on the AGM meeting for those of us who are interested in what is happening at Tooting and Mitcham fc and do care, but are not members or even known by the senior top brass or longer serving fans.
Has the Playing budget been increased?
Is there any update to the surposed new stand (or was that my imagination)?
Is the current management going to be retained?

It doesn't need to be on the forum.. what about at the gates you give people a ballot paper which they must give on the way out?? Anything to be sure it is the FANS decision and hasn't been twiddled with by the people upstairs.
