Right I am in charge of kit at Dewsbury and have sent surveys out with the newsletters- I expect the usual scintilating response of one reply (my mate Dereks) so thought I'd ask you all what kind of kit you like to run in- and fabric type that best prevents chaffing for chaps particularly.
You can be rude as you like but the odd sensible answer wouldn't go amiss.

I havent got a clue what sort of fabric though. wool??
Are you changing your club's colours??
Not much help really am I??
I don't like the material that my club vest is made from - I'll have a look at it over the w/e. I do like the URWFRC vest but some others don't.
and spat at during London Marathon - he says he would like people to know he is an English T**t and hence would recommend a colour change. Also black is a very impractical colour for running in in the dark. I was not considering putting a kit colour change to the comittee as it is a pain in the a**e to do after my experiences at Morley.
I have found a company that do all lycra stuff crop tops etc as a lot of the girls don't like the running vests and baggy shorts. I think we will struggle to get our male vets in unitards though.
important to have an odour free fabric too, esp if going to be used a few times a week, and possibly not washed each time.
Ron Hill vests as everyone liked the material, vests for men and women but also crop tops for the women.
Same colours as the old kit but a different layout. Don't try and redesign the kit by committee, ask 100 different people and you'll get 100 different opinions!
(No, not no shorts, something like tights.)
I am having the athletics version of an Ann Summers party when I have responses and have ordered samples for testing.
I updated the kit a few years ago now. Got the go ahead and asked about 3 people for input and then went ahead. Don't involve too many people - it just gets silly. And if they are in the club, then it should be for more than the club kit.
How about Black shorts (then you can have lycra ones for the men without being too revealing, and a red/yellow top with a black line separating. Same colours, just different layout ?
(we have flames on our kit - looks ace !)
I am more concerned with getting some better ladies kit and some decent leggings for both. The colour issue wasn't a consideration until Derek told me about the abuse thing, I would be for telling people to p**s off rather than change my club colours.
The red and yellow top sounds interesting as the old one from yonks ago was red, yellow with a bit of white. I will do some vest outlines and get my son to colour some in in different combinations to see what people think.
I'd deffo say black shorts though, as they are v practical, and you can get all kinds of legwear in black.
The URWFRC kit is nice - I guess that's printed, so you could go down that route. Looks so much nicer than a lot of running club tops. They look quite dated ?
Black shorts are currently what we have although some of the older design have the coloured panels in which I prefer because they match better and then I have a yellow hair bobble on the yellow side, red on the other. Sad I know.
The company seem to offer more fitted lycra versions of the club vest- which may or may not be appreciated.
Used to wear one of each. I thought it looked quite cool anyway !
Hey - you mad foool you.
Redesign Club Kit ---- what colour is your Fondriest !? Then that shall be your colour !
And all your kit will match. Easy peasy.
Cannot believe people think it has nazi conotations.
PS
I think Barnsley are fluo orange tho' they are not exactly local to us.
