Happy with that. They need a strong return after last year's shite, though...

Another pink kit please, must have been a bestseller among the ‘woke’ community

Same problem as always though, no stripes on the back - otherwise fine.

Can almost guarantee a solid plain back now.

Great

Pretty much every manufacturer does it. Umbro, Adidas, Hummel, Nike, Under Armour, Puma. Stripes on the back is just not a thing now for some reason.

So annoying. How hard is it exactly?

When they do do it, they manage to make it fugly anyway, like Puma, who have a penchant for weird uneven barcode stripes/general ugly design.

It surely must just be for advertising ease. Sponsors on shirt backs for a lot of leagues, and name and number recognition for the social media ads and shop displays.

Love the neck...Looks like a happy smiling face.

This is proper odd, how has this been left so late? there are some teams who have already released or even played in new kits if this has just been announced then it would seem ours hasn't even gone into production. going to be interesting how this plays out expecting a bit of a shit show.

Likely done ages ago, it's been on here for a good while that we were staying with Adidas.

There's just been a lot of stuff going on, relegation, manager announcement, new sponsor.

This is just the formal announcement.

We always release kits late anyway even if we're in the middle of a multi year deal.

 

[nopigfansintown]

Does the one year deal indicate a change next year?

 

[Harry's Game]

A one year deal so it will be some shitty template with a plain back then?

1 year minimum.

If we signed a 10 year deal though it'd have a "plain" back, well, 2/3rds plain like the last 2 seasons most likely. Even Juventus have to put up with that.

Can’t see a large supplier like Adidas allowing things to go pear shaped. They won’t want the bad publicity.

So frustrating when we were playing against Palace, Newcastle, West Brom etc. When they had stripes or stripe-esque things on the back of the shirt. Just seems to be us landing in the shit again. Umbro had stripes on the back of Brentford's kit last season.

 

[Basing Blade]

As Shakespeare once said about the Blades.....red stripe in the middle, or white stripe in the middle..that is the question.

 

[Nosworthys Throw]

This is good news, Adidas have some of the best slave children in the world so we should have a nice tasty margin on these badboys

 

[Balham]

Does the one year deal indicate a change next year?

I suspect the extension will entirely depend on which division we're in for the 22/23 season.

I just think the square panel on the back is wrong.

I could cope with oval or even round panels - at least some stripes would be possible

Should bring back square number blocks

Would love to see a retro blades shirt being made in the adidas style using the old "adidas" laurel leaf moto

This is exactly as simple as it should be. Square blocks on the players shirts and that’s it. If they could do it 1990 I’ve no idea why they can’t now.

It is shocking that the trefoil Adidas logo is no longer used on football shirts. It makes every shirt look so much better.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Why we can’t just have this in red and white with black collar and cuffs is beyond me. Leeds don’t even needs stripes and got them - the cunts.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

It's not like me to mention the need for stripes on the back of the shirt.

But if they absolutely must be a set of twats about it, and deviate from that, please go with a red back, no white back shite, and with stripes still half way up the back.
