So it's finally revealed

[Kenilworth]

Very well put young man. A+ and top of the class.

A+ for the kit too. It's almost perfect.

You get the "like" for the "young man" comment, Stringers - not just for agreeing with me

 

[TarquinDelouche]

Well. We're starting to look like a proper football club now, aren't we?

 

[UnitedBlade]

Black shorts, white socks for ever associated with that fantastic side, my favourite not that a man my age should be wearing them.

Like the shirt although I like the black pin stripe effect.

Good job Blades, we're going to look the part anyway.

Now where's that F'ing striker ?

UTB - getting even more excited now.

 

[Torrix1889]

Anyone know when the shop will be sending out the pre-orders?

Spot on mate - it'll appeal to the silver generation

 

[Gavlar]

are we brentford in disguise?

 

[MBoreman]

Praying for a long sleeved version!

 

[Latters]

I put "Not bothered, don't buy kits" on the poll before the picture went up. However, having seen it, I can't help thinking that, had it got a Macron or Le Coq Sportif logo on, people would be moaning "the stripes are too thick", "why is there no black on the shirt" and "white socks? What's all that about?"

Brand snobs? Blades fans? You betcha!

As stated, I'm not fussed about the kit myself, it's unlikely I'd buy it, good or shit.

Monday / Tuesday for all pre orders this week by Royal mail or can pay an extra 6 quid and they will send it by courier.....

At the risk of getting 'Pelters,' I quite liked Le Coq

With you on that. Looking back we have had white socks more than any other over the years, so it sort of seems to be the right colour. And for me, like you forever associated with the fabulous team, the kits below are the epitome of a Blades kit. The new one, allowing for modern idioms, aint half bad.

 

[Kenilworth]

I can't help thinking that, had it got a Macron or Le Coq Sportif logo on, people would be moaning "the stripes are too thick"

The Wards sponsored home kit when Dean Saunders and the Don were in the side had broad stripes.

I like it - was never keen on the thin black stripe in between but then I first saw the Blades when Woodward and Currie were strutting their stuff in their pomp. Ok there were five stripes back then but the new one looks cock on

My too, the 97-99 home kit was ace.

 

[Kev Gee]

What a great kit.

Will be buying the shirt for sure!!

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

Like it will grab one sometime - but waiting on the away kit before deciding which one I want

 

[siblade]

You can't please all of the people all of the time but the majority seem pretty happy with this kit, I haven't bought a shirt since the mid 90's but I reckon I'll get one of these. Good stuff.

Really brave of you to come out and admit you like the cock kenilworth

Where's the 'love it can't afford it' option?

The black stripe was introduced when Woody and TC were playing. They were the first to wear that design, I think. OK not our finest hour that season but it's been used from time to time for nearly 40 years. Time flies.

With you on this Ken. In my head I can't shift the idea that black in the shirt = the start of demise and despair!

 

[Grecian2000]

Is that it, all done and dusted, no more drawings/mock ups, looking at PSG/AEK/Celtic/whoevers kits for another 9 months?

Thank fuck for that.

On the basis that there are only 3 types of people supporting any club (1. Will buy whatever, 2. Won't buy whatever (i.e. ME) or 3. Will buy it if its any good) then it sounds that they've managed to hit 3 pretty well, which is ALL that matters.

Roll on some player signings and something worth actually talking about.

There's the away kit to come Greciers...

 

[drinksmat]

1. It shows the club is listening and thinking of the fans and not just churning out yet another kit for purely commercial gain.

/QUOTE]

Or that by churning out a kit people actually like they will make more commercial gains.

Thumbs up from me for the kit, we just need a season to match it,

There's an easy way to not let it bother you... Don't click on the kit thread button. If you click it by mistake just click the back button.

White shorts end in misery. Everytime!

 

[super_pig]

I think it matters to a lot of people.

it shows we aren't f*cking around and we aren't a tinpot club.
