No expense spared here, by the guys at Football Kit News, as they lift the new Gills shirts from the programme pages. Espionage at its best, small camera in a pen with the photo taken through a torn newspaper while the guy in front is reading his programme. I know we're getting carried away. Over to Football Kit News for a quick intro.These are the new Gillingham 12/13 kits, Gillingham FC’s new home and away shirts for the 2012/2013 season. The new Gillingham kits 12/13 have been made by Vandanel. Gillingham compete in Npower League Two. These red and blue tops are Gillingham’s centenary kits.
While Gillingham were formed in 1893,(Go on add 100 to that - are they late - hang on here comes an explanation) the reason the 2012/13 kits have been marked as the centenary kits, is because the strips are a replica of what Gillingham wore in the 1912/13 season.(phew, so Ma'am happy 35th anniversary of your Silver Jubilee - sorted)
The new Gills home kit 2012/13, as per the programme notes, is a red creation with blue sleeves from the Vandanel stable. Gillingham normally wear blue home tops, so this is a change from the usual.
Mems Power Generation are the principal sponsors of Gillingham’s 12/13 shirts.
The Gillingham away kit for 12-13 is the reverse of the home kit, featuring a predominantly blue top and red sleeves.
Gillingham were originally known as New Brompton and changed their name to Gillingham in 1913.
ReplyDeleteThank you, that explains the 100 years then.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely hideous! I thoroughly detest it, The Gills will be the laughing stock of the League. These kits would be more appropriate for Coco the Clown.
ReplyDeleteNot only that but Home & Away clash with each other so a third kit will be needed. Does Scally seriously think people will part with £40 for that rubbish? I refuse to pay £40 for the normal shirt, I wait till they change and buy it half price. No football shirt should ever cost more than £25 max. SCALLY, THE CENTENARY SHIRTS ARE HIDEOUS, SCRAP THIS DAFT IDEA!
