GarethRDR Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Unimposing manufacturer's logo? Check. Sponsor printing made to match the shirt's colourway? Check. Shame it took getting relegated and butt-humped to oblivion to get these kits, they're whopper. Missed a trick getting a similarly retro-themed goalie shirt though, I wholeheartedly believe the board could get 90% of the fan-base back on-side if they just get the kit manufacturers to re-do the 90's rainbow-shattered glass goalie kit.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Like the look of the kit in the flesh alot, very happy we finally got out of the "box" of the sleeves MUST be blue which some people seem stuck in. I think we need to have more claret (possibly gold piping) in our kits to distinguish us from the West Hams, Burnleys, Scunthorpes etc, always have.

I must admit, I tend to associate those clubs with being far more inclined to alter the claret body and blue sleeves design, so that they end up with more claret rather than less. I value brand purity, hence would keep blue sleeves in the same way Arsenal pretty much always retain white sleeves with their red body shirts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m also not keen on the idea that we need to distinguish ourselves from them. We started off this classy colour combination - it’s ours! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 West Ham and Burnley have a different shade of claret (and blue too if I'm not mistaken) than us. It looks more washed out and purplish to my colour blind eyes. Macron had us close to that shade especially in their first season with us. In our Nike days we were practically red But I agree, I associate experimenting with the body with those 2 clubs, and if we ever do it, it should be once in a claret and blue moon. I think the last time we had an all claret body was 2001/2002 which was 17 seasons ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakotaDakota Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Home kit looked nice yesterday. The blue is very light so not sure it would have looked right if we had kept with the blue sleeves. That bright blue & black unibet training gear is absolutely horrible though, didn't think it could look worse than it did in the photos but they somehow pulled it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is one of the most disgusting items of clothing I have ever seen. My son however has just run into the room declaring how totally sick it is and wants it instead of the kit.

villa4europe Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 definitely, i wouldnt buy it for myself and if i saw a grown adult wearing it around tescos i would be incredibly judgemental but thats a great design for kids in the same way i cant imagine many kids going nuts over the polo shirts which i probably will end up buying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 3rd kit is cool. I'd never wear it personally but I like it. I'm definitely of the opinion that a claret body and blue sleeves should be the norm, but it's also fine to deviate from the norm from time to time. The 99/00 stripes kit was great as well. We'd had something like 14 kits in a row that stuck to the normal formula, so i'm fine with the claret sleeves for a year, especially when it looks this nice.
