TrickyTrev Benjamin 112 Posted 11 January Report Share Posted 11 January Why is the club shop so poor when it comes to stocking retro shirts or putting new ones out. The 91 shirt I was lucky to get one in medium but they were in stock for about 2 weeks and nothing since. I really want the 92-93 shirt and the jade and navy away shirt put out again. They surely own the rights to fox leisure and walkers are happy to go on the shirt. I emailed him regarding it and he said he’ll past it onto the fans store but heard nothing since. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RGFox 128 Posted 11 January Report Share Posted 11 January The retro range has really diminished and the overall non-adidas range is pretty poor and pricing seems hit and miss. I also emailed the club with some suggestions and utilising the running fox on more clothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fox_up_north 696 Posted 11 January Report Share Posted 11 January The running fox really should make a comeback, especially with the kind of style we've moved to on the pitch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kilworthfox 171 Posted 11 January Report Share Posted 11 January Why not buy an original from ebay, or if someone wants to sell one on here? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted one of the 90-92 ones as well but they only had it in XS. Emailed the club back in August to ask if it was coming back in stock and they just said no. Ended up buying the XS one in 'Blue Friday' (can just about get away with it as its more like a S ) but seems like it was the last one at all as its no longer on the site. Its a shame, as there were some really nice remakes of the old kits on there, but now it's quite limited. Hopefully they bring them back soon, but I wouldn't bet on it...

Pre winning the Premier League you could pick up some gems on eBay for next to nothing. Sadly those days are gone with finding beauties on there for cheap. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nalis 5,566 Posted 11 January Report Share Posted 11 January Wonder if the running fox would make a return on a 2nd or 3rd kit in the future? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree I loved that badge. In my lockdown boredom I ordered Barrie Pierpoint's book. He touches on it almost immediately saying that one of his first ideas was to get rid of that badge as it wasn't strong or imposing enough and gave the impression the fox was running away and he wanted something tougher.

I'll probably get shot down, but I do agree with him about that. Don't get me wrong, I do think it's a nice design, but it is a bit 'weak' looking. The thin lines make it impossible to read at any sort of distance. If you squint your eyes, it disappears, whereas the current one still looks bold when doing this. I agree that it looks like it's running away. It looks much more suited to an anti-fox-hunting charity or something than a football team. With the fox looking to the side, it could be a fox that's been caught rooting through the bins and is now scarpering. I think you could beef it up by thickening the outline a touch, filling in the fox with solid colours and pointing the fox's head in the direction it's running. Maybe make it look a bit meaner, like it's on the attack. I think it should look a bit more noble and less like a cowardly bin dipper. Besides, I've always had the feeling that the designer was trying to do a Leicester version of Forest's and Derby's badges. I may be wrong, but it certainly looks that way. FWIW, I think our current badge is far better. In fact, I think it's one of the best in the world, and I'm confident I'd be saying that if I was impartial. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I emailed them a few years ago and they knocked out some track jackets and hoodies etc... Not taking credit mind 🙂 I think there's an opportunity to expand the leisure range. Off topic but it would be interesting to know how popular the atmos stuff has been Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have an original from my Dad, but it's about 3 sizes too big. The blue and yellow and fantastic too. I noticed Iwan Roberts and presumably a few others have been sent them in the post too.

But... £48 is a bit steep for these - I love my green '83/'85 shirt which I got a couple of years ago & is still available for £35, so I'd be reluctant to fork out £48! - if the extra is for a pre-printed name on the back, then just do shirts without - it feels a bit odd at my age buying shirts with other bloke's names on the back... And why can't they do these in kids sizes? I have yet to wear the green shirt without people commenting on it... I'd love to get them and have my kids running around in these retro shirts rather than the generic Adidas stuff! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s such a beauty, they’ve updated it now, the shirt without a name is up for 38 quid! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
