This a really poor choice of design. Without that stripe I believe the shirt would look incredibly smart and probably would have been a favourite of mine and I imagine others too.
Now I don't own/run a business (and nor do I claim to do so either) but surely it doesn't take much 'financial knowledge' to understand that:
The more popular the shirt is = the more fans would purchase it = more money coming into the Club.
It seems REALLY shortsighted that the Club wouldn't 'see' this. I am fully understanding that Argyle may not have the same choice as other clubs but surely at the very least there is a choice.
And if there is a choice, why not roll those choices out to the fans? Get some fan engagement/involvement. Show us what Argyle have been offered as choices and let us decide!
I know football is football no matter what shirt you play in, but to us, the fans, the design of that all important shirt means so much to us.
Argyle have dropped the ball on this one, massively.
