That was at Brammel Lane and we were in the blue kit as I was there. If memory servers me correct it was a later round, possibly the semi v Liverpool at Old Trafford. Pretty sure it was away to Liverpool in the FA Cup QF. Lost 1-0 to a Mark Walters goal maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted November 24, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted November 24, 2017 They seem to change it every year now and it always seems bobbins. I haven't had an England shirt since Japan/Korea in 2002. Probably the last time I was interested in the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we were until Beckham pulled out of a challenge to allow Rivaldo to score before half time. Anyway, can't believe that was 15 years ago. Don't I feel old....

Some sort of competition where a few are made public and voted on by season ticket holders/club members only so nothing is hijacked. I think that ship has definitely sailed. I run my own business now, and kits aren't usually freelanced out as they're so confidential. The clubs will always consider what the fans want. It's a fine line to tread, though, between tradition and newness. Hard to please everyone. Kit design looks easy, but a lot of the concepts you see on VT or Twitter etc just aren't practical. They're usual either impossible to make, too expensive to make, or wouldn't get through FIFA, UEFA, FA guidelines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a certain extent it relies on an understanding of how clothes are made, and at least how they go from being a flat piece of fabric to several pieces that have to be joined together. Take this (rather ugly) concept I found. The graphic on the front spread across to the sleeves and matches perfectly. The graphic marries up all the way around the armhole - which relies on opposing curves to create a 3D shape that matches the shape of your body. Same with the side seams - unless the edges were completely straight it'd be hard to get them to match. It might be possible if you were making a one-off piece as you would be using one print to fit one size and to take as long as necessary to make. In production you'd need a different sized print for every size of shirt, and the factory wouldn't want to be spending 20 minutes to sew in each sleeve. Now look at the "lay plan" for a typical garment (this looks like a t-shirt but seems to have an opening up the front - odd!). You can see that the pieces fit onto a piece of fabric in different places depending on the size. The graphic is printed repeatedly along the length of the whole roll before the pieces are cut out. So imagine the complexity of trying to figure that out, lay the pieces and cut around them without mistakes, and then join it together so everything matches. And that's why stuff like the above is art and not design. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
