Hmm, not bad. Couple of criticisms: Not digging the pocket at all. The kiddy in the vids says 1883 is a slightly subtler nod to rovers than the words bristol rovers, so why the need for an even subtler reference to the black Arabs in the diaganol sword? Two swords for me. Also should orders increase, will the cost stay the same? Seems a bit steep to me, but can understand if this is to cover loses on a small batch. But brilliant work, great to see fan action instead of the usual apathy...now where's my bucket hat? Bucket hat Attachment Deleted

I had a good look at the shirts and they are deffo dark blue. The logo actually looks alright up close and is just the right size. The quality is good and the piping and pocket actually enhance rather than ruin the shirt. I must admit I was surprised as they looked poo in the photos. The do look nice in real life and are smart enough to wear out. This is definitely a case of a very very poor photo ruining things. I would think the panel will have learned a lot from this. Be careful with sizes too because Rod bought one and needed an xl (I think) and he is not an xl looking chap. I normally wear xl and there is no way he is my size. Maybe Rod could confirm which size he actually bought in the end??? It's still over priced imo at 20 quid. I'd pay 15 for one and be happy with my purchase. Maybe we'll just have to wait for the shop to reduce them! I'm very pleased with the shirt. I'd say it was black rather than dark blue. I'll have a better look in natural light in the morning. My chest size is ~43/44inches and I normally need an XL (sometimes I can get away with an L if sizes are generous). I tried on both XL and XXL and bought the XXL in the end as it was a more comfortable fit for me (and I was wearing it over a t shirt to be fair). So - for a fitted fit you might get away with your normal size, for a looser fit go one up, as I did.
Colour update - definitely very very dark blue, looking effectively black in artificial/poorer light.
