Macron Kits 2013/14

[moDtheGod]

What's wrong with the current one? Is this some kind of wind up?

If you want genuine feedback on that badge, I don't like the way the extremities of the blades touch the outer circle containing the text. It looks horrendous. The font used for the numbers also looks hideous. They're all squashed and weird looking.

 

[borbokis]

No I know there's nowt wrong with the current one I was just faffing about. I really like our badge and I was happy when they ditched the shield we had for the round one.

Wouldn't mind a similar style to the Sporting Braga kit as our away kit if I am honest that is we are 100% staying with Macron as this one is probably the best of their kits that I have seen and I would quite happily buy it with a blades badge on it.

Having seen the pictures in the star this week of the squad back in training and all wearing Macron training gear i think it's a cert we've taken up the extra 5th year on the Macron deal.



Cheers

No, defo with Macron. If you notice, the Macron logo is up on the shoulder on the training gear like the Braga kit above. Last year, all macron logo's were at chest height.

Attention to detail me !!

Is today the day?

Theres two or three there with the logo on the chest...!

I'm sure we'll see the kit on Wednesday at the 1st friendly

You mean in the position on the shoulder as shown in this pic in an article on the SUFC website back in February this year???

So in theory it looks like the players are indeed training in last seasons training gear at present.

I'm pretty sure i've watched us play friendlies in the past in the previous seasons kit.

Not sure what shoulder you're looking at? I mean on the cheat like in this photo here: http://www.sufcdirect.co.uk/39_Macr...g-Wear/1620_Adult-Warm-Up-Shirt-1213-red.html

I'm pretty sure we have too. More often than not however, its the new shirt

STOP putting le ds on this site for f***s sake, if someone farts there it's on calendar and look north! They get enough mentions without been on here too!

If that's serious, I pity you. Not mature enough to even write Leeds. The fact it offends you is laughable

 

[mattbianco1]

Loving the new away kit they played in last night at Greenock Morton. Not too fussed about the Orange sash

 

[Zinedine]

Wouldn't mind something like this (obviously not looking like a nine year old has drawn it) for an away kit

 

[KenMcnaughtsNuts]

Skulls are all the rage these days. I'd go with a black away shirt with hundreds of tiny white skull and crossbones all over it. The numbers and a stripe down each side in fluorescent lime green. You'd buy it. You know you would.

 

[diplomat]

Red and white solid stripes on the home kit. Black shorts. I like white socks.

Away kit predominantly white with a touch of red and black.

Third kit black with a touch of red and white.

They are our colours, no need to confuse the issue with anything that will stop you getting run over whilst running in the dark on a road with no street lamps.

Sort of defeats the objective doesn't it? Back in the days they weren't 'home' 'away' 'third'. You had your colours (red and white stripes, black shorts in our case) and then you had a 'change' of colours when there was a clash. That's the key phrase, you are changing because of a clash of colours, so logically your change kit has to be different to your colours, in our case something other than red, white or black. Simple really!

But of course it's not about any of that anymore, it's simply about fleecing supporters for as much as possible!

OK lets get Baxter Basics. Things that are crap about replica shirts etc.

NYLON, There cannot be many of us who enjoy wearing artificial fibre next to our skin. Some 'air-tex' cloths from the mid-1970s notwithstanding.
SHORT SLEEVED CLUB SHIRTS WORN OVER TIGHT FITTING LONG SLEEVED VESTS to make the player feel stronger, thats bullshit, they might as well put spinach on their Weetabix® or lucky heather in the radiator grille of their baby-Bentleys and it looks CRAP. Especially with a stripe on the team shirts sleeves. A design crime and let me be the judge of this.
The MACRON LOGO.
SILLY PATTERNS IN THE WEAVE, that leads to horrors like the Man Utd, Gingham Table Cloth look. There should be no patterns revealed in detail that are invisible from the stands.
EXCESSIVE DECORATION ON THE SHORTS. My God those shorts we wore in the Premier with extra highlights inspired by a Baboon's backside in a state of arousal. A straight stripe down the seams on the outside of the thigh is the ONLY acceptable enhancement. A contrasting coloured hem is utterly non-U. (How we laughed at Moscow Dynamo's shorts when they turned up in the 50s). Adidas stripes are completely acceptable by the way.
Aye and while I'm about it. 'Stripes' formed from a line of little manufacturer's logos are anathema. Admiral started this in 1976ish and Macron do it now, NO, NO, NO.

I shall be willing to field any questions that arise as I shall be trying to dodge hard-work all day.......

Are we not adding random stripes, colours, logo, hoops and general crap on socks, Vorpal? I think we should stand for plain socks, with a maximum of 3 thin stripes at the top to allow Adidas to do their thing!

EDIT: And any player pulling them up over the knee (John Terry like) is for ever labelled a twat and should be booked as soon as they arrive on the pitch!

 

[vorpal blade]

Ah yes, SOX!

my real preference is for rolled down having chucked away the shin pads, a contradictory action in opposition to the idea 'you'd better pull your socks up lad', yet with the same intentions...

I'm in the black sock camp. Again, One wouldn't visit one's club in white sox. (One wouldn't be allowed in) so why at One's football club?
Agreed about adidas stripes, the worst design crime of all 'sockwise' has to be VERTICAL stripes. they are just mental. I'm quite surprised no team has come out with two socks of different colours, say right leg in red, left leg in black? Is this a marketing ploy they have missed???

BTW do you remember why FIFA banned players from pulling their socks down and imposed the wearing of shin-pads? I'm pretty sure it was to stop AIDS.

Imagine the scene at the surgery;

footballer, 'Doctor I'd like an AIDS test please"

doctor. 'Well have you been practicing homosexualism in Africa or something dangerous?'

footballer, 'No Doc. I've been playing football on the beach'

Mind you I suppose FIFA might argue that the only reason this situation seems so ridiculous is precisely because they made players wear shin-pads as condoms?

Speaking of what you sleep in, John Terry presumably wears his socks in bed because he uses his Chelsea kit as pyjamas. He is copying Thierry Henry in wearing ladies' stockings in the hope that some of the 'genius' will rub off.

The twit.

 

[vorpal blade]

btw we are all members of the same club in St. James as James Bond aren't we?

and hooped socks are just too, well erm. 'Rugby'.

Sexy on a woman, fine for a Sunday league team but just too visually garbled at professional level.

In the halycon days of the early seventies, our away shirt was white with red collar anbd cuffs and our shorts and socks the same as our home shirts. We wore that when playing the likes of Stoke, Southampton, Man Utd and Liverpool and there never seemed to be any problems.

As far as I am aware, our away shirt had always been been basically white until a yellow kit was introduced for one season in 1977-78, we then reverted to white until the famous yellow and brown stripes in 1981, since when we have been through all the colours of the rainbow.

Vorpal, you are now officially Forum Design Guru! Hot off the press on Merseyside, I give you the Liverpool '3rd' kit. Hideous, ugly and everything you hate about football kits, but check the socks!

I seem to remember a sort of mustard colour in the early 70s, Dazzler! Or was that a one off?

And you were doing so well with your first post, but have to go an RUIN it with the black socks.

White socks is iconic United to me let Sunderland and Brentford have their black or red, United's image to me is flashing white socks, and that's even growing up in the 80s and 90s when we never had em.

Just makes the whole kit more unique for me, the flashing white socks as the players run.

 

[vorpal blade]

WOWSERS that Liverpool Kit!!! The socks my word. Those Goalie's ones have the aforementioned vertical stripe, twisted in more ways than one. AND THE ZEBRA SKIN LOOK with yes one leg blue, t'other one in black. I can only imagine LFC are after the African market with this 'offer'?

Speaking of continents, are the vertical sock stripes explained as a reference to Baseball Socks which sometimes imitate the loop of elastic that goes under the foot to keep trousers straight? I think they do have a Yankee kit manufacturer these days?

Speaking of Africa, got to say I loved the Cameroon 'onesie' with Lion Paw slash vents of a few years ago. Thats the way to do it! FIFA banned that, probably because someone caught malaria because of the vents, and using the kit as 'leisure-wear' (see NUFC) hanging around stagnant water in sub-saharan climes?

OK, perhaps I got carried away with the anti-white sock hype. It may have been my horror at seeing white toweling socks worn with 'swimmer' type blue and white flip-flops by men at a glass factory in Austria that has induced this 'pavlovian' thing in me, sorry Wilf old chap.
