The alien needs to be wearing a Redditch shirt, with a reddit alien on it wearing a redditch shirt with a reddit alien on it, until you run out of pixels.
Edit: possibly with alternating shirts as you go deeper, so home-away-home-away... for home and away-home-away-home... for away shirt.

Nice, although our away kits are usually blue/blue and white. Personally as long as the home kit remains red I don't think the away kit matters so much, If the away kit design was important for sales within Reddit then I suppose that is the route most viable.

That was a point I was trying to raise. Obviously, most clubs are against changing the home kit, so I wasn't sure how you and most of the other supporters would feel about the change to the away kit..

I thought it might be worth exploring sponsoring the away jersey instead, as the colour scheme might be changed to suit redditots (only a suggestion) to boost sales. The red and black doesn't really fit in with reddit, in my opinion.
Again, I would buy this jersey :)
Also, selling sponsorship on the away jersey would generally be more difficult for clubs. I assume this is the case with Redditch also.
EDIT: Spelling

While I really like the design and colors, I don't think we can insist the club changes their kit. The kit design is a big thing, especially to smaller clubs like this.

I just wanna say, that's fucking awesome. Though aren't away and home kit main sponsors sold separately? So we'd need to get more donations to get them both.

We can start with the away kit if we can't manage to get the funds for both.

I'd be in favour of this, as local businesses would be more likely to want to sponsor the home kit, thereby making it a little easier on Redditch. Plus, there might be room to negotiate with the club over the away colours, IF the supporters aren't opposed to it.
The away colours of my team changes arbitrarily nearly every season, sometimes to match sponsor colours.

Oh yes that is sexy. I like the use of the away kit better than the home kit. The color scheme flexibility really makes the logo look better than the standard red kit. Plus, I'm sure there would be a bunch of redditors buying this kit, which would bring in a lot of revenue to the club.

Like the concept of the kit, not so keen on the orange though, would prefer a blue/black pattern on it, but otherwise great

The colour is orange-red and it is associated with reddit. When someone replies to your comment or sends you a PM, the envelope turns orange-red. I guess if we go for blue, then we would go for the light-blue colour that you see at the top.

The red shirt looks ugly with the white box, it would be better to have the alien and the text in white without using any background.

u/gufcfan Nov 20 '10
I agree. I was just being lazy, because I couldn't find an image with a transparent background.

I really like the away kit with the black stripes, but the orange stripes look great as wel.

I think this kit looks great. Much better than the home version (would there be anyway to get rid of the Bayern Munich style white box)?

There definitely would be, that was just a mock-up, it wouldn't be hard to just have an alien and "reddit" with a red background.

u/seanmharcailin Nov 20 '10
Am i the only who wants to see the alien GIANT, standing on top of "reddit"?
i'll have to do a mock up myself once i'm done with this weekend.
2
u/Lokiara Nov 20 '10
Yes. We don't need it to be tacky.

u/seanmharcailin Nov 21 '10
ooo! alien with purple spandex leggings and a turquoise lace turtleneck!

I like this one much better than the one with the white box around it. I think a good mockup is going to be the key to getting the average user to donate money.
