New kit

[The Crab]

First complaint, why is the sponsor so big on the back? Where's the name going to go?

I think some of the foreign footy teams have the player names underneath the number?

 

[Whiston Blade]

The back is bloody awful but I do like it on the whole 7/10

 

[Linz]

The pics posted by the shop are mock-ups - the sponsor is not that size IRL

i wonder who the first suit in football thought 'ya know what - we can squeeze at least one more logo on this. just turn around a sec? bingo?'

that person needs a scissor kick to the bollocks. every day, for a month.

Go with the positives, could have been far worse, slowly edging towards a proper Blades shirt.

Hope the confirmation of stripes on the back is accurate...UTB

 

[Foxy]

Chill out guys, it's stripes and not as imposing as the mockup

It's not so much the size, it's the actual sponsor, the colours don't "go" with the shirt and it just looks cheap. Imo.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

That's actually a pretty fucking smart shirt.

Well, it's nice to the back to stripes. Not a fan of the black shoulders and collar. If that were red or white I would be happy with it. Happy enough with black shorts and socks (though prefer white myself having got into supporting the blades significantly in the 92-94 laver laces collar kit).

 

[mattbianco1]

Just me that thinks £45 for a shirt with an ironed on badge and sponsor that comes off in the wash a bit OTT?

I honestly can't ever remember a shirt that had an Iron on Badge. Please show it me

 

[Tyler Durden]

Probably already my all-time favourite actually.

Should have been this, with a black collar and cuffs. Done. Sold.

Or this, but my personal preference for black pinstripes and a black collar means I'd tweak it slightly.

Or the Argentina kit, bodged with red'n'white stripes as above. This with thin black pinstripes between the red and white would have been bought, by me at least, immediately. If not sooner. If this is what they'd've released, I'd've had the afternoon off work so that I could drive back from Chezzy to Bramall Lane to stride into the club shop and forcefully purchase about 15 of them.

(All credit to Barney, dannysufc_ and Blade95 for the mock-ups. Maybe the club or adidas should employ them for the '17-'18 kit design...)

 

[sheffielder]

This isn't a slow grower. I quickly loved this shirt and think the shoulders help the shirt

 

[FlamingLip]

that company deffo missed a trick with its name. "DeeDarDoorDeals" is much better.... its genuinely fun to say. and could easily fashion a cool hip jingle around it.

 

[B.Lade]

Erm......

I actually prefer last season's......


<gulp>

Let it go, you missed the deadline.

Ben Whiteman seems to be in a state of entranced ecstasy about the new kit.

 

[Jehovah]

I'm happy with that. A kit too good for league one. Enough games, now we leave this bastard league.

 

[vorpal blade]

apart from adidas®'s inability to sort out striped sleeves, I like it, I think we've got the better version of it than Sunderland, though it is getting very patchworky round the shoulder - it'll look worse when players wear long sleeves underneath it (why the heck don't they make a long sleeve version anymore?).

The front sponsor logo is handled better than anything we've had for years, the sponsor has sensibly not insisted on their corporate colours and it's neat, unfussy and quite high on the chest.

I even like black socks - (Sunderlands are traditionally red)

New signing? Never heard of him ffs

I want to know whats behind that door, does it work, is it a real door ?

 

[Linz]

We asked that a while back - the Club don't sell enough to justify ordering the minimum quantity from Adidas.

 

[Jesus_was_a_Blade]

Got to admit, the more I see it the more I like it. Think the shoulders actually look okay with the white strips. Still need to see the real deal with names and numbers but think we can safely say it's a huge improvement

 

[Coily]

Love the shirt, and if it didn't have the sponsorship on the back on the kids shirts then I'd order them for my two boys now. I can just about get over the sponsor at the front, but I'm just not comfortable having kids as walking billboards. Plenty of other clubs have no sponsor options on kids kits, but perhaps it's too much to ask for SUFC to offer the same. Shame really.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

I like it. But I'd like it more without the black shoulders.

I just request a small copyright fee...

The FL numbers look good next year....

Can we now start the thread for the 2017-8 kit?

You forgot about the away and third choice kit. That needs to come first.

 

[zablade]

A relief it's a stripped back.

One of the better ones of recent times, I would give it 8 and half out of 10.
