Already on elite sports website with bogle fej and Anderson
Bit disappointed with the too thin white “hoops” but as soon as that first goal/win happens will it really matter.?Looking forward to the away kit design.
Can't watch this at work, but has this already been reported...?https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/doncaster-kit-video-prank-backfires-24434878

Depends what generation you started to watch Rovers. 60s, going into 70s etc, I just recall us being predominantly white with red trim. Then, going to all red shirts and white shorts. I wasn't aware really of any tradition or identity relating to hoops. With various stabs at it along the way, it was JR I think who really championed the hoops. However, I think we all know the identity GB wad referring to, and that's the brand of football rather than the kit. I would imagine the average football fan who pays an interest to this sort of thing would associate us with good football, eventhough sometimes it's just been an aspirational thing. I can't imagine many seeing us as a hoofball club. The owners have generally seen it through and try to appoint managers who want to play good football and I'm glad we have. Some owners don't seem to give a monkeys what kind of football is played, as long as they think it's winning football.

Yes I suppose if your team plays in a strip that looks a kin to pyjamas and win that’s fine .., BUT if you loose .
I’m sorry, but the club doesn’t lose its “identity” via a new shirt design.I really like our red and white hoops, more so when the colours have equal width. But we haven’t always had them, have we.?Was our identity any less when we beat the then top top side QPR in the cup in 1995.? Or when Billy Bremner led us to promotion in 1981.?
