poolebolton Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) We never really do this but who does have the best looking race-suits this year. I'll go through them and then list 1-8 Belle Vue Aces= Not sure if they are bringing out new ones. But they still look really clean and smart look. Just the classic BV look and never changes. King's Lynn Stars= What have they done. They have put to much black on this and it doesn't look great anymore. Leicester Lions= The best look in the league. Simple, but it just pops and looks great for a club which might be near the bottom stick look great. Poole Pirates= Good, better than last year anyway. We seem to have the craziest kit ideas. Will look better when the sponsor actually on the kit. Rye House Rockets= Boring, did not really change from there Championship kit. Boring grey drab. Somerset Rebels= Look's awesome with the black and dark red. Very good look for the first year back. Swindon Robins= They may be arch rivals. But this kit looks awesome, I love the increased amount of red. Wolverhampton Wolves= Once you win the league and put gold on it's always good. But very boring same as last year. Speedway needs increase Merch sales and this would provide a lot more money. 1= Lions 2= Robins 3= Rebels 4=Poole 5= Aces 6= Wolves 7= Stars 8= Rockets Edited April 3, 2017 by poolebolton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poolebolton Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Personally I don't give chuck! And this is why speedway dies. If you want speedway to survive merchandise alone can keep it going. Ji sung park signed for Man U for 4 million within 24 hours they had made that money back from shirt sales in south korea alone. I understand this speedway but a little bit goes a long way. If we had a better way of merchandising no only do clubs make more money it also means free advertisement. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I find them too cluttered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crump99 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 Comparing Football to Speedway is like comparing a street busker to the Rolling Stones... He's not though. It's just an example. Unfortunately speedway had it's chance to up its profile in the last 15 years but blew it. It could start afresh but that horse has bolted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyabb17 Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Personally I like clubs where all the suits are made be the same manufacturer, like Swindon. All Malanik. Edited April 3, 2017 by hyabb17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poolebolton Posted April 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I'm just saying that this a market which speedway has not gone into. If you have more Merch=more money= bigger crowds=more tv= more sponsors= more money= better tracks= better racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky have had speedway for 17 yrs, and there has been no improvement in attendance numbers, its clearly worked for football but not speedway. Football is a multi billion pound business, speedway is not. Edited April 3, 2017 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is a multi billion pound business, speedway is not. Sky provided the platform and opportunity, it's not their fault that the opportunity was wasted. Football is organised and stable; that could never be labelled at speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWC Posted April 4, 2017 Report Share Posted April 4, 2017 I think the Rye House team pic are wearing their BMR jackets as their kevlars are still at the manufacturers. Team colours of Black Chrome and Fire - watch out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
