I wouldn't get too excited - look where a certain Sondico made Tesco bag came in the Champ rankings
 
How Bradford came second I'll never know.

It's as if they've just taken a plain yellow shirt & defaecated all over it. (With bizarre purple faeces.)
 
That's because it's a bloody wonderful shirt, easily better than any of the shite Macron churned out and it's a nice nod to our history, which I happen to care about. First one I bought in many a year.
 
stunning shirts , both our home and away
the home its sheer class , had to be really good to pull it off but was beautifully thought out as retro look at our first league shirt

To be fair BTL the home shirt could have a stream of Jizz on it, the away shirt a steaming turd and you would still be happy as a clam.

what crap hated some of our shirts with a passion especially these vomit inducing styles

the reverse red with white pinstripe just looks awful

the new one is just one of the best weve ever had, designed with a purpose in mind
to celebrate our history
 
I guess we just have to accept that in the eyes of others, our kit is quite attractive.

I remember reading an article at the beginning of the season (let me find it). Here we go! The Coventry Telelgraph ranked each kit in our league based on their own opinions, they graded us 3rd in the league behind Shrewbury and Coventry (a bit of a eurovision voting system I see), but this is what they had to say about our shirt.

"Sheffield United make the top three.

After last season's disappointing faux-Southampton Adidas template, the German giant have crafted a wonder with this predominantly white outfit.

It is used to mark the Blades' 125th anniversary, and a fitting job it does too."

So in conclusion I guess the neutrals like our kit and think it looks decent and original. Of course we won't see it this way as we love our traditional "faux Southampton" red and white stripes.
 



No - the sooner we get back to the proper kit the better. This home strip has not and never will be a United kit. It's a gimmick.
And don't care a toss what people on facebook think, Sheffield United play at home in red and white striped shirts and black shorts nowt else.

Its not a bad away strip though I'd prefer plain white shirt and black shorts.

Spot on mate - I also prefer white stockings and black boots.

I'm looking forward to the new season's kit in 1961.........
 
Sorry to come out of my forum retirement so early, but i've been reading and I just can't resist on this one.

This years kit is beyond idiocy. For starters, it's meant to be an anniversary kit. Anybody aware of the reason it's a year late?

It's been done without a single consideration of the history of the club.

If the board genuinely wanted to pay thought to the club's history, they would have respected the fact that 98% of it was played in the red and white stripes. A small piece of text underneath the proper badge on the proper colours would have been more than sufficient. Not an overly dramatised, long running promotional event. Not white shirts, pathetic microscopic stripes, red shorts and red socks.

How they can pass this embarrassment off as some sort of honourable gesture is quite laughable on the basis of the facts.

It's one of the worst Sheffield United shirts I have ever come across, without a shadow of a doubt.

Over reaction? You might think. I'm not entirely bothered, this kit is unacceptable.
 
barnyblade you missed the "In my opinion" bit off the front of that diatribe.

I like it. I appreciate that Sheffield United generally play in red and white stripes but this season's kit is a sensitive reworking of the first recognised football jersey worn by a United team. My sole gripe with it is the sponsor logos: I'd have happily paid an extra £5 for a sponsor-free version.

Let's hope that next season's home shirt is a return to simple red and white stripes but adidas' last attempt was pitiful so I'm not holding out much hope.

Very good chance of this shirt being a a top seller along with the away shirt of a certain promotion season !!!!

1889 to 2015 is,126 years. So to cap it all, someone at the club can't even get that right. I wouldn't be seen dead in it and that's being diplomatic.
 
Our home kit is crap. It is popular with people who are fascinated by shiny objects and/or think United selling their best players is good business.

If you fall into either category, don't bother replying.

all football is aboiut opinions , even those of people like you with no sense of style
its red and white and striped, but designed by Adidas s top designers to a remit , which they met with flair thought and modern design
 
I like the shirt BTL, but this is clearly ballcocks. It was a kid on work experience, day one, just after his early morning sugar rush had worn off :)
according to Adidas it took their top designers 3 weeks to get right
they had to build in 7 elements given to them by the club
they were given specific briefs on what was wanted
 
I don't like the badge on this year's home shirts. It would have been much better without the "shield" bit.

The away shirt is very good.
Can't fault that one.

The home kit urges me to drink wodka, eat sausage and open a shop selling canned and jarred goods from eastern Europe.

It would suit Lewandowski, though.

It was for the end of the 125 celebrations as has been patiently explained on many many many occasions*.

Marketing? Of course. But marketing that celebrates the history of the club, rather than, say, "rebranding" us as Sheffield Blades FC.

*Maybe even 125 or 126 occasions.
