All the moaning about the Adidas templated training gear is looking a bit daft next to templated
Errea gear. At least Adidas doesn’t look Sunday league.

The moaning about templated gear was always silly. With a template kit from the likes of Adidas/Nike you have a massive company who have invested a ton up front getting a product right that can be replicated across the biggest (and many medium sized) clubs in the world. The man-hours and R&D they can afford to dedicate to develop that product is probably 20-30x what what Errea can do creating a 'unique' products for each small club that comes along.

There is simply no way the economics stack up that we can get 'unique' gear that matches the quality the major sports brands produce.
 
I wondered why there wasn't any photos of the squad back training yesterday. Was it due to trialists? Then looked at this and realised it could be due to not wanting to reveal the new Errea Training gear or that it isn't ready and they are still using Adidas?

Not sure that is entirely the case. Much of the best technical sportswear has been developed by smaller companies and bought/licenced by the bigger brands, or developed into the larger brands. Look at Ron Hill and the early wicking fabrics, or more recently Inov-8 and their graphene soles for example.

Looking at the Erreà website, they're a company that invests in developing a range of fabrics. For the UEFA kit assistance programme they've gone big on their Ti-energy 3.0 fabric which has a few promising looking features, such as hydrophobic yarns (theoretically, less likely to stretch/deform in use and washing).

I generally only buy kids kits, and I would agree that Adidas have generally been pretty good quality in recent seasons. However, I'm optimistic about Erreà at this point.
 
I can't say my Carlisle kit knowledge is great and couldn't pick it out from a bunch of shirts with no badge on them. What's butchered about these kits, I've seen much worse..

The blue is at least two shades too dark and the garish patterns make it look tacky. I'm as nostalgic as anybody but if there's one place where 16-bit Sega Mega Drive graphics don't belong, then it's probably on a football shirt.
