Away Shirt (Don't like kits? Don't open)

[mattbianco1]

I would say the Macron one of three years ago has been the best in recent seasons.

I don't like it. Looks like a 3rd division shirt.

Best one we've had for years was this one..

Think you are right . Goodison Park , Blades wore red socks . White wall , blue and white scarves in the background has to be Stamford Bridge .

Be great if we could find another TC for next season , and that's not being a Bladey Blade .

UTB

I'd settle for another Steve Foley

anyone else notice that adidas® were clearly scouring this website for fashion tips? I mocked this shirt up in April 2014 and they have now started putting the stripes up the side seams on their up-market range.

I need a lawyer

Last one we kept for 2 seasons was 02-04

How come the earlier change strips aren't shown?

Haven't got a clue. Couldn't tell you which shirts are missing from that list.

Well obviously the early 70's but that was the red collar and cuffs, white shirts job.

Earlier, 1950's and beyond anyone know what are 'clash kit' was/were? (Clearly not 'I fought the law.. ' before Lydon quips in )

Nearly can name them all but a few unsure.

Back row Badger, Flynn (?), Currie, Addison, Salmons (?),
Middle row: Hemsley, Powell, Hodgkinson, Crawford, Colquhoun, Tudor
Front row: Barlow, Buckley, Woodward, Dearden, Reece, Barnwell (?)

 

[GallonofMagnet]

It's black with orange pin stripes and orange collar

I liked this away kit 1975

These two for starters and the one I put on here earlier

I rather like German's kit. The Blades badge on an otherwise fairly plain black and white kit would look great

 

[Ricky]

That's better than the white one IMO.

 

[Booker4]

Only that pic of TC wasn't taken at BDTBL. Needs white socks to be the home kit.

I prefer white socks too, to be fair mate, but in my time as a Blade we've spent as much time playing in black socks as we have in white. We also played in black socks right up to the 60's when we played in white socks for the first time. Statto over!

One thing you have to remember with kits, especially away ones;

Less is more.

Got a replica of that from club shop... agree it's as smart as fuck. I want Umbro back as soon as the Adidas contract expires!

Totally agree mate. Umbro by far the best kit makers in my time and before. I honestly can't believe there are any fans who think last season's home shirt is the best ever! Its not even stripes! To me that's like having a best bitter contest and Fosters winning it!

Last seasons kit was an absolute disaster. Those that even go close to saying that it was the "best ever" are in a tiny minority.

I remember walking to my seat on the day we unveiled it on match day and thinking "why on earth are we playing in white?"

I thought it must have been a charity one off for the day or something.

Is it a long walk from the kitchen to the lounge?

It was a total own goal last season and hopefully never to be repeated, anniversary or not. Still don't get why they just don't make it the away kit and no one could have complained.

I don't mind jokes.

Trouble with you SEB is that yours are always terrible.

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

It's black with orange pin stripes and orange collar

We've done black & orange/red a number of times in recent years. I don't get the obsession. Personally I like purple,it's an underrated colour!

 

[The Boy Wonder]

Loved the one with the purple & green sash

Reminds me of when I was wearing this Shirt whilst working down South (Hampshire) in early 90's.somebody shouted "Scotland are Shit" at me from a Speeding Car window! = Baffling!

 

[The Boy Wonder]

My lame attempt. Red shorts yellow socks

I like it,but it's a bit Melchester Rovers!

 

[Blackheath Blade]

I don't like it. Looks like a 3rd division shirt.

Yep, the shirt wasn't bad either !!

One thing you have to remember with kits, especially away ones;

Less is more.

So what you're hinting at is that we should be playing in pants and vest like we'd forgotten our pe kits?
Less being more, and all that?

Does it also apply to attending matches? The less you go, the more you see? You'll be an expert by the end of next season then.

Like this?

 

[Razor1967]

I'm 31. Fave red & white shirt is the Avec one from, I think, 97. The Macron one posted above was excellent too, as was the lace up collar one.

I agree that our home shirt should be red & white stripes but I prefer last seasons pin stripe shirt to any red & white shirt we've had.

I don't mean to be rude but really???
