"Didn't they used to be premier league..."

[Bladepicker]

Imagine if you can the upcoming Coventry game, the players warm up in tracksuit tops, they then come out for the team line up in those tracksuit tops, they shake hands with the opposition, then run towards the Kop remove the the tracksuits to be seen wearing those tradition red and white stripes, imagine the roar from the crowd, imagine the lift it could give us in a game where we are underdogs.

Doesn't that get the pulse racing that little bit faster?

You lost my pulse at Coventry

Swiss, are you sure they were Italian? That sounds more like French to me?

If you learned French watching 'Allo Allo maybe

I appreciate the nod to history as well. It doesn't matter if it's not as good when it's just for one season. Anyway, it's miles better than the diamond strip or the Cantons strip, which have both, oddly, become iconic.

As for the original post, I also have to constantly explain to Germans who we are and where we are - and why. It's getting annoying and embarrassing. I mostly rub shoulders with Pauli fans, my second club, so they understand underachieving and bad boards (non-payment of tax has been their thing), still, it's getting to the point where I don't shout the name of my club too loudly. Bad, isn't it.

PS Swiss, love the Italian accent. Sounds the same as your Welsh accent, though.

It sure would, for about 10 minutes until it becomes clear that it's the same passionless, incompetant wasters underneath those shirts.
I thought the kit last season was fantastic, the best in a long time. It didn't prevent the embarrassing capitulations at home to Crewe and Fleetwood though.

 

[Harry's Game]

Yeah good point

 

[JonnyRed(WCFC)]

Harrys game...of course it does...its the identity and that tribal gathering with standard bearings proudly displayed feel! The same for whoever anyone supports!

Even playing 5 aside..i much prefer it when my team is all wearing the same kit, oppoenents wearing different kits winds me up a bit being a keeper i like to know where they all are!

When I was in Turkey last year a waiter asked me where I'm from. As soon as I said Sheffield he immediately mentioned United. So either we're still giants on the European stage or Selahattin Baki has been been doing some great PR work for us!

Way too imaginative for our lot, Captain Blade doing a line dance with Bobby Knutt would be on the agenda before considering anything like that.

 

[SRBlade]

I played 5-aside in Newcastle a few years ago in a Blades shirt and got the shit kicked out of me. No, it's not a Sunderland top..

Thanks for reminding me of when we once had a black and white away kit

 

[SwissBlade]

Things are that bad we now have to tell people we get big crowds for such a shit team.

The statement came as a result of a discussion when they said, but who is now your Premier League team. I replied I only have one team. At that point I said we are loyal to our team and we get 20,000

You've clearly never met an Italian then

 

[Revolution]

Our home kit is garbage but it is very low on the list of problems that we have.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

If our board and club had once ounce of imagination or understood what Sheffield United meant we would never have played at home in that god awful shirt again after the Shrewsbury debacle. Posted this thought when I got in after that game.

The shirt is an abomination and,should never have been produced in the first place. As for the white band on back of shorts....Jesus wept.

 

[bladeinspaceandtime]

It's not as if Sheffield United were pulling up any trees playing in red and white stripes. Change the home shirt for one year (to pay homage to a historic shirt) and some people spit their dummy out. I don't know why you get yourselves so worked up; presumably we will be back in a red and white stripes and be as equally mediocre next year.

I think your argument above misses the point entirely. We have an identity. The red and white shirt and badge are part of that identity

 

[stringjunior]

We had an identity

Fixed it for you

 

[Bladesince59]

It was based on the original kit to mark the clubs anniversary, a nice nod to history. It's only a one-season thing.

Something I've tried explaining to this lot over and fucking over to no avail.

Well 1 season is 1 season too many,

 

[Blade for Sale]

Barcelona have gone from stripes to halves to hoops. Bayern have gone from blue and red stripes, to red and white hoops, to solid red.

a- Their fans didn't cry like a bunch of One Direction hormonal teenage fans
b- It didn't really impact on their success now did it?

Some of you lot want to grow a backbone. A pair of balls wouldn't go a miss either, or at least get the little danglers currently nestling forlornly in your batman y-fronts to drop.

It's a football kit. It's for 1 season. Get a grip and some fucking perspective!

 

[JJ Sefton]

When I was growing up down south, if I told people I was from Sheffield they always used to say "You're a Wednesday fan?". Then, from 2003 to about 2010, they asked "You're a United fan?". Now, I regret to say, it's gone back to "You're a Wednesday fan?" It's not quite as uniform as when I was a kid, our cup runs have kept us in the public imagination, but without those...

 

[georgebernardshaw]

I got absolute pelters at the start of the season for saying the new kit is shite.

Ask yourself this - wasn't it nice seeing Wendy getting beat by a team in red and white stripes last night?

I came over all neuralgic

 

[ziggy4001]

And now the new scapegoat is.....
Our home kit?! Ha

 

[Revolution]

Barcelona have gone from stripes to halves to hoops. Bayern have gone from blue and red stripes, to red and white hoops, to solid red.!

Are they in league one too?

Oh, and Bayern played in solid red for years. Their Doncaster Rovers tribute was the aberration.

Until we go one down Harry, then the boos will start, whatever we're wearing.

 

[Godbeblade]

I had a similar experience whilst wearing an old United shirt- I got "fuck off you Mackem bastard" shouted at me haha

Only Sheffield United could be a year too late for their own anniversary.

I actually like it but it should be the away kit rather than home

 

[Barney]

Bad enough we play in white shirts but we also have red shorts no wonder we play like Stevenage ................ save the season and give us our stripes back with black shorts.

Then you'd get all the one's that bought it whining that they aren't playing in it.
