New Kits Thread

[Giggles]

Absolute state of the fucking 'model'. The shirt isn't much better.

[SincereTheRebel]

Terrible.

[Spikey M]

1300724074163757058?s=19

Grim.

[-james-]

Yeah it looks like a training top. The away one is alright.

[John Arne]

Fuck me, England kits are shit.

[Giggles]

Very 1980's.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Most kits are just crap attempts at 80s/90s nostalgia to attract people in their 30s/40s with their bulging wallets and impressionable kids.

[Baz]

Yeah it looks like a training top. The away one is alright.

The away one is too blue.

[Mike]

The Nike swoosh should be above the England badge. It's an awful kit though.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Centred badges are a disaster zone anyway. Should be love on the left breast, money on the right.

[Spikey M]

Very 1980's.

I think it's trying to be 1990's, but as with all these things, it fails at it. It just looks like one of the fake England kits you'd have got from JJB Sports for about £3.

[Lewis]

Yeah, an England shirt off a market stall that one of the poggy kids would have worn.

[Reg]

I like our new away kit, and Ajax's third.

Wish I was cool enough to wear a Valencia shirt:

[niko_cee]

I really don't like Brighton's kits this season. In isolation I suppose that yellow thing could be ok, but, I dunno, it doesn't seem right. They're way too Everton.

That said, the green one (was that last year?) was fucking horrific as well, so, more excellent work by Nike.

[Giggles]

Speaking of Everton, that pink thing is shite.

[Reg]

They haven't got a pink shirt have they?

Yeah I couldn't help but think of Ireland when we were green with white shorts.

I liked the green and black Errea though:

[Baz]

Pink was last season, or the one before. My mates daughter had it.

[Giggles]

Ah, I mistook it from the picture. It's a Chelsea one.

[Alex]

https://dc6vmiz8c91pk.cloudfront.net/media/126/23793509973059/away_article_1.jpg

I'm a big fan of this.

Mid-nineties, Yeboah era vibes.

:cool:

[Foe]

Pink was last season, or the one before. My mates daughter had it.

I bought it for a friend for their birthday. He loves it.

[Giggles]

After seeing our new one in action last night it's brutal. That's not even close to our shade of green.

[Jimmy Floyd]

https://twitter.com/ChelseaFC/status/1302871982892101632

As a result of this tweet, unfortunately I am now no longer a Chelsea supporter and will instead be following the Tottenham Hotspur football club.

[phonics]

Going by the kit it seems you should be heading down to Crystal Palace.

[Ian]

Can't believe Jimmy's not sharing their untameable pride. :nono:

[Jimmy Floyd]

It's the first time I've come across the term 'sneakerheads', which sounds like a truly detestable marketing attempt to somehow combine mixed race sportswear cool with boomer obsessive spending habits, all wrapped up in an American word that no one in the home market ever uses.

[Baz]

It just means people who like trainers.

[Offshore Toon]

Jimmy is definitely far more sheltered than he realises.

[Don]

Where tf is anyone above the age of 12/outside TikTok using that term in this country that isn't resulting in them getting lolled out the building for?

I like the kit though, Jimmy's crep game clearly weak.

1302873625377284098?s=19

Next club?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Hmm. Reading? I might have to shop at Waitrose but so be it, milk is worth every penny of that £3.80. I just don't want to be lectured to about sneakers.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Jimmy is definitely far more sheltered than he realises.

You're probably more 'sheltered' than me with huge cultural biases towards American hip hop etc. Most people in this country are more like me in terms of references.

[Lewis]

Sneaker'ead 'Eritage.

[mo]

That Chelsea model is seriously stunning.

[Baz]

That Chelsea model is seriously stunning.

Ocean Lewis (https://www.instagram.com/oceanlewis/).

[Giggles]

I didn't realise the shorts and socks had the same design as the shirt on that new Utd third. What the fuck were they all thinking?

[Baz]

I thought they'd denied that, and they're plain?

[Raoul Duke]

Seems to have white shorts, which will look terrible (black would be far better). There are shorts with the weird zebra shit on though.

[Giggles]

Ah, hadn't seen.

[niko_cee]

Liverpool's third kit is probably the best of a bad bunch for them this season.

Hang on a second.


Scott Munson, VP Nike Football Apparel, said: “For the Liverpool FC third kit we explored the long-standing traditions of the club and how we could bring that to life through the lens of sneaker culture.

:face:

And I'm someone who travelled halfway round the world to buy a pair of Puma TX3s (I think), well, sort of.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I sometimes wonder what goes on in these corporate marketing departments to come up with this bullshit. I've had a couple of vague sniffs of the stratified big-city corporate world in my long and varied career, but those places must be off the edge of the world.

I mean, if I go on the Nike site to try and buy some shoes in response, they call them trainers, so it can't be anything to do with sales.

[phonics]

The new Wolves kit is literally the Portuguese kit.

[Baz]

Makes sense.

https://www.wolves.co.uk/news/club/20200917-202021-third-kit-unveiled/

[Jimmy Floyd]

How come the infant kits are five quid more than the adult ones?

[SincereTheRebel]

The new Wolves kit is literally the Portuguese kit.

Operation C.Ronaldo is in motion.

[Giggles]

Much improved from the dark green.

[Lofty]

Not sure why Pharrell has designed an Arsenal one with crayons.

[Giggles]

1321841364577906688

[Ian]

The main kit is nice, the training kit is vile but then anybody spending money on training kits has more of it than sense anyway.

[Manc]

Not sure why Pharrell has designed an Arsenal one with crayons.

Check out the Juventus effort.

[Lofty]

Jesus, so bad they are probably collector's items.

[Reg]

Two sponsors below the crest on the new Juventus kit. https://www.adidas.co.uk/juventus

Are all shirts going to become like Mexican club shirts?

Partly why International kits are often way better. On that note, not the best collection for the Euros, but I like Austria's and Croatia's (Germany away decent too): https://www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/list/euro-2020-kits-jerseys/19jntja9qlcl81chp63q4iz014

[Baz]

Portugal home doesn’t look like a football shirt. Shame the badge isn’t smaller.

[Shindig]

Two sponsors below the crest on the new Juventus kit. https://www.adidas.co.uk/juventus

No, because 4xE is a model of Jeep.

[Reg]

Oh, well they’ve advertised me right up. In that case, my new complaint is that sponsors are too big.

[Shindig]

https://www.nufc.co.uk/media/58706/jamaal-lascelles.png

It's a Newcastle kit. We haven't got crazy with those since 2000. I'm more keen on our keeper kit.

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0535/5107/1386/products/TM0201B_A.jpg?v=1625577948

£65. Fucking snakes, the lot of them.

[niko_cee]

Is Castore some sort of Mike Ashley brand?

[Shindig]

Allegedly, yes. :D

[Offshore Toon]

That Castore logo is pretty good. The white buttons on the home kit don't work against the black, but otherwise it's alright.

That keeper kit is obvs great.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Is Castore some sort of Mike Ashley brand?

They made waves in the golf world a few weeks back by proudly announcing their clothing sponsorship of the previously sponsorless Patrick Reed, then quietly dropping him a couple of weeks later, presumably after someone at head office finally read his wikipedia page.

[Reg]

Our new away shirt is pretty sweet. https://shop.brightonandhovealbion.com/replica/away-kit/adult/2583_adult-2122-away-shirt.html

[Offshore Toon]

For such a vibrant city the football club is so dull.

[Lewis]

That all black Hull City away kit is a beauty. If a Big Club did one they would sell silly numbers.

[Reg]

Yeah that is cool. That’s something video game-ish about it. Umbro still make better kits than adidas or Nike, I reckon.

[Offshore Toon]

https://twitter.com/Atletico/status/1415310385436049415?s=19

Possibly some sort of record for latest kit reveal ahead of a new season, but now the takeover is done, new manager, DoF, CEO appointed etc, new kit is out. Both crackers imo.

I'm not too sure about the collar on our new one. I like the switch to yellow stripes, though.

Yep, exactly what I meant.

[Clunge]

What's the best fairly darkish blue kit out there atm? I'm talking old school Argentina away kit, dark Zenit kits, that sort of thing. Don't really care what team, not UK teams though. Who's doing a good line in dark blue kits atm? Something in this (https://www.adidas.co.uk/core-18-t-shirt/CV3981.html?af_channel=Shopping_Search&af_reengagement_window=30d&c=GS-OPT-UK-Categories-SubBranded&cm_mmc=AdieSEM_PLA_Google-_-GS-OPT-UK-Categories-SubBranded-_-NEW%20Subbrand%20-%20male-_-PRODUCT_GROUP&cm_mmca1=UK&cm_mmca2=&ds_agid=58700006641668515&gclid=Cj0KCQjwl_SHBhCQARIsAFIFRVXBZ9fh2-q-lsDyQOVJIxpAJOHBETDc3j6qPFLB3DLJBuJFO937XaEaAk96EA Lw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds&is_retargeting=true&pid=googleadwords_temp) mould with a bit of fizz is what I'm after.

[I think] I’ve just ordered this.

https://mantodamassa.com.br/

[Foe]

Do people/adults still buy random football shirts?

I’m 32 and I bloody love a comfortable football shirt for kicking about the flat.

Just received my two latest, charlton 2020/2021 (Hummel, wanted to see if they’re any good) and a West Ham top from last year or the year before (Umbro shirts are without doubt the most comfortable).

Gone are the days of ordering fabregas Chelsea shirts to annoy my arsenal supporting friend, but should I still be doing this. I bought a Chelsea keeper shirt last year because I’ve not owned a keeper shirt since I was about 7. Spoiler alert. Just like a jumper.

[Foe]

Also pointed note. I’ve been wearing them for work at my (rather large) energy company and giving the platform I support a football shirt tour over the last few weeks.

Career suicide perhaps. But is it better than talking about pumping oil? Absofuckinglutely.

[Manc]

I've been considering ordering a mystery kit.

[Foe]

Do they give you a bunch of options or inkling what league it’ll be from?

Is this on kitbag?

I’d give it a go if you’ve got the spare cash. Might open your mind to a new league and give you a new team to have a mild interest in. Unless it’s MLS or Chinese super league.

[Manc]

I think you can specify any teams/leagues you'd want to avoid. £35 appears to be the standard fee.

[Gray Fox]

I've also considered a mystery kit.

They tend to let you say what kits are an absolute no, usually they wont send your own country anyway. Some also let you tell them a colour preference, say I love bright pinks and greens.

I just bought the white Liverpool one instead. My mate did buy one though and he ended up getting the orange Valencia shirt.

They're all at it.

Shut the clubs down.

[Shindig]

I'm glad we left Puma.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

They look like training kits.

[randomlegend]

They look like knock-off kits from an old version of PES. You're expecting to see it say Man Blue across the front.

[Shindig]

They've bottled on Monchengladbach, as well. Unless it's on the back.

[igor_balis]

I hate the copy and paste jobs all the kit companies do, I genuinely prefer the monstrosities DIADORA and PATRICK did for the Albion before Adidas came along and gave us and Stoke the same kits with the red and navy swapped accordingly.

[Alex]

Yeah, those are horrendous. They look like something you would have picked up off a market stall in the mid-nineties. Which is possibly, in some sort of very mis-guided take on what they believe to be "retro appeal", what they were going for.

[Pepe]

Flat Ex lol.

[Ian]

Those kits are a disgrace.

[Pepe]

Do they include the matching duct tape?

[Lofty]

Look like they were designed by Matalan.

Why don't you just steal some real ones from a child?

[Don]

I stole some Adidas all black ghosted ones from Sports Direct for £35 :drool: I was just curious as to what the market was like for these.

[Shindig]

That just reads like you bought it. You don't steal things you paid money for. That's just shopping.

[Don]

And my man Kiko called me the dullest poster on here. Hits different rn.

I've been using Jerseymr (decamped to telegram now) for a while. Generally your big kits are spot on.

Got it ordered this morning off DHGate. That and the Venezia one should seem my black top requirement for the year nicely.

[wullie]

Can't help feeling puma would have done a better job.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I jumped for joy the other day when I saw Venezia had at last returned to Serie A. Best club colours in world football. I had their 2003 shirt with Poggi 10 on the back, which worked as I was still quite slim at the time.

[Raoul Duke]

Their kits are amazing: https://shop.veneziafc.it

[Jimmy Floyd]

This is the one I had. Absolutely glorious, I wish I was still of the age and weight to be able to wear football shirts or I would find another.

https://www.footballkitarchive.com/images/2021/04/01/cQvvz3EerwRiaCm/venezia-2002-03-home.jpg

[wullie]

I loved their recent kit with the hoops but their new home one seemed to be greeted like a masterpiece within seconds, don't really get it. That away one is super jazzy though, big fan.

[Giggles]

They should wear this for the year.

Right colour for it anyway.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Would you change the tricolour to just an all green flag, then? Maybe a clover and a pint of guinness in the top left.

[Giggles]

I wouldn’t ever change it at this stage but it was a pipe dream of a thing back in the day and should really have been the green version of the presidential flag.

You’re probably thinking of a shamrock too as I don’t think I’ve ever heard the clover link before. Then again the harp is the more traditional symbol rather than a pint of beer or a shamrock or any of the other paddywhackery.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Shamrock is a three-leafed clover. Damn the Irish and their famous specificity.

A plain white away one to go with it would be mega.

Although this (https://amp.footyheadlines.com/9119928234954677838/) is pretty tasty.

[John Arne]

The collar on the home short is awful. Well, its not there for starters.

What's wrong with a normal collar?

[Jimmy Floyd]

Was going to say, borderline cleavage involved on that collar line.

[Gray Fox]

Stupid collar, stupid elasticated looking cuffs on the short sleeves for some reason. Pass.

[Mike]

I’d DHGate that away one if it’s right.

[Gray Fox]

This reminds me. I need to DH Gate this years away/third kits. The yellow one would have been perfect with the rid stripes but you cant win them all.

[Ben]

So now they're just blatantly putting the badge on a generic Nike t-shirt and charging £80 for it?

[Baz]

I’ve been crying out for a plain kit for years but I don’t like the seam around the chest. Reminds me of the 03/04 Third kit.

(https://www.footballkitarchive.com/liverpool-fc-2003-04-third-kit/)

[Giggles]

Are they going to add a number every time someone who was there that day dies or something?

Fuck Nike.

They are so shit. Warrior and New Balance was the golden age.

[Baz]

The New Balance kits were so good. Took them for granted.

I was hyped for Nike, hoping for some PSGesque Jordan kits but they’ve been bad so far.

[Boydy]

I really like this year's.

Where's the best place to buy snides these days?

[Manc]

What ever happened to collars?

[Ian]

So now they're just blatantly putting the badge on a generic Nike t-shirt and charging £80 for it?

I mean all football shirts are a complete ripoff so maybe this is just an experiment to see how much they can take the piss and get away with it.

The answer is a lot, of course.

Very daft. Especially as that change kit won't really get much of a run. Although I did like this one:

[John Arne]

I don't mind this. It would be really nice if it had a proper collar (seriously, why are kits moving away from decent collars??). I like burgundy and white trim.

Oh, and Foden looks like a right twat.

https://gyazo.com/e15d924cacc1ada3de71915e1764b148.jpeg

[Spikey M]

The fucking state of Foden. :D

No idea why they have a Jockey wearing the woman's version.

[Jimmy Floyd]

There's a vibe Foden has that is obviously what people are going for, you see loads of male models on clothing websites who have the same thing going on.

What that thing is requires definition. It's like a sort of glammed up version of the 00s scally.

[John Arne]

It's basically every 20 year old dickhead who hangs around Piccadilly on a Saturday afternoon with nothing better to do.

[Baz]

Looks like they’re wearing a Liverpool shirt underneath it.

I thought that eyebrow thing was something only 13 year olds who thought it looked hard did.

Just like every set of 18-21 year olds ever to the aged observer.

[Spikey M]

Nah, pre 2010 there were loads of subcultures. Punks, Mods, Goths, Grungers, etc. Then it all seemed to die when Emo's turned up. Then everyone became a road man.

[-james-]

[Boydy]

Mods in the 00s? No there fucking weren't.

[Spikey M]

Mods in the 00s? No there fucking weren't.

"Pre 2010" is exclusive to 2000-2010?

[niko_cee]

Yeah, fucking Huguenots giving it all that.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I remember a time late 90s when there were, at least in my area, 'Garys' and 'Grungers'. The Garys later evolved into the chav. Not sure what happened to the grungers. Probably became emos etc.

I would have guessed there are more atomised subcultures now than there were. There is for everything else.

[Spikey M]

I think they've just replaced music and fashion based groups with political and social-change groups.

[Boydy]

"Pre 2010" is exclusive to 2000-2010?
Fair point, I misread it. I thought you were just talking about the noughties, i.e. when we were teens. I'm still with James here though. I'm sure 30-something year olds looking at us then thought the same.

[Lewis]

My cousin's ten year old got a 'Phil Foden haircut' complete with eyebrow slit. He must be like David Beckham for little cunts.

[Lewis]

I work with a thirty year old emo. It's actually quite a good way of disguising/making the most of his weedy body and receding hairline.

[Spikey M]

Fair point, I misread it. I thought you were just talking about the noughties, i.e. when we were teens. I'm still with James here though. I'm sure 30-something year olds looking at us then thought the same.

I don't think anyone would have been looking at the Blazing Squad and Korn and thinking they were the same.

It's not as if we're not aware of the Yank teenagers overdosing on anti-depressants, drawing on their faces and dribbling their way through some turgid shite. It just doesn't seem to have made it over here. The Drill shit has - and has merged with grime pretty well - but what else is there? Kpop? Sort of. What else?

I think music becoming completely formulaic has largely killed creativity and the cultures that come with it.

I am exclusively talking about the music based cultures here though. The kids today are far more switched on to social matters - and go balls deep in them for better or worse - than we were.

[phonics]

‘Old man thinks music was more creative in his day’

[Baz]

I recently started listening to Mudvayne, after considering them “not hardcore enough” first time around. They’re actually pretty good.

[Spikey M]

‘Old man thinks music was more creative in his day’

Not really. It was Formulaic in our day too. It was just Formulaic by Genre, where as we now have Ed Sheeran doing everything from Grime knock offs to Funeral songs.

And the point remains, what are the sub-cultures today? Genuine question.

[Lewis]

The various sub-cultures are probably stronger than ever insofar as the monoculture only picks certain aspects of them off these days, rather than mainstreaming a sanitised version of something. It's why barely nothing has changed in twenty years. The monoculture remains stable, and the sub-cultures don't have to diverge from it pinching their things.

New home and GK kits. 70s tramlines which raises my hopes of a brown away kit, and stained glass to mark 60 years of the cathedral going up or something

The black and white one is nice, the blue one is absolutely awful.

The blue one is so bad it must be a piss take? The sponsor doesn't work at all.

I just hope and pray they keep the theme running when they unveil the away kit

"This is betting" being off-centre has sent me under.

[Shindig]

Ours have leaked. The Saudi away kit is known but the third kit looks very Juventus 1995.

[Baz]

That badge is horrific.

[Shindig]

Yeah, that looks cheap. Stitch one in good and proper instead of just slapping it on.

[John Arne]

Crewe's new kit features a asymmetrical collar design. It's kinda weird. Decent shade of red, though.

https://gyazo.com/5c04f2f81250e075e4d9cd8dc51d9c33.jpeg

[-james-]

I like that. Solid sponsor too.

[John Arne]

A mighty sponsor.

[Giggles]

I thought the went a bit out there with Bob Marley, but getting the design from the seat of a bus is new levels.

Another decent kit ruined by a shitty collar. Seriously, how hard is it to use a normal fucking collar.

Nice use of the retro club badge.

The away is better, but yeah the badge is way too big.

How are they both so bad, when the women’s ones are so spot on?

[niko_cee]

It is.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Home kit looks like a France away kit, which is about as bad as it gets.

[wullie]

They're going for Euro 96 but it looks like an ok training kit rather than one we should be playing in. Both still better than the Euro 2016 nonsense with everyone wearing odd socks though.

[Raoul Duke]

Home kit is horrific, and the away is just a crappier version of an old one from around the late 90s (?)

[wullie]

It's based on the 1990 one, although we never actually wore it during the tournament itself

Speaking of disappointing kit makers, Nike continue to disappoint where New Balance shone:

Nike have managed to corner the market. They’ve got most of the big sports teams signed up so just brazenly slap their logo on the most basic t-shirts and the peasants hand over insane money for it.

Call me petty, but kit makers doing a "throwback" to a kit that was made by another manufacturer entirely, irks me.
