Thoughts on the kit?

Blades and their obsession with where and how stripes should be is ridiculous.
If Manchester United turned up wearing a striped kit they'd be outrage. So why shouldn't we be equally annoyed when we looked like Derby County for the promotion season. The charge enough for these shirts, people don't have to buy them granted, like I didn't. But I still think it's not asking too much to expect us to wear a striped shirt. We can still have many variations such as red, black or white socks, different collars, different thickness of stripes etc etc. But having a solid red back just looks crap - in my view. Maybe that makes me ridiculous, I obviously disagree.

100% agree, front and back of the shirt should be a red and white stripes, never ever liked the plain backs.
 
I have never been a fan of Adidas for us, they produce some amazing solid colour kits but I've not liked their striped versions for many a year for solid backs and sleeves etc. They'll always be fans who like Adidas for their quality which cannot be denied, especially if you're referring to the training gear. But as a fan the main thing I'm interested in is the shirts and for me the home shirts bar one have all been poor in terms of design, last seasons and the season we got promoted are two of the worst we've ever had in my view, then there was the 125 year anniversary one which was a poor attempt at the original one.

Going to an alternative supplier like Errea will always bring up the debate about poorer quality v more control for individual designs. I'm in favour of individual design over top quality templates but others may disagree. Another thing I didn't like from Adidas was the pricing of the shirts which were never less than half price even after the season ended. Maybe there were the odd huge XXL shirts left over for a tenner but under previous alternative suppliers such as Le Coq there was always a £10 shirt available a the end of the season in all sizes which is when I'd buy one - I refuse to pay the ridiculous prices for a £5 shirt. I hope we can have something similar to what Millwall got a few years ago from Errea. Not in blue and white obviously!

I think part of the reason they don’t flog the shirts off cheap at the end of the season is they don’t have much surplus.

Couldn’t seem to get hold of this season’s or last seasons away kits in a medium whenever I’ve been into the club shop.

Will be interesting to see what they come up with. Did some decent kits for Middlesbrough in the 90s.
 
If Wendy got Errea I would say it's tinpot so I can't really be a hypocrite. Can't see the shop doing that great next season with Errea gear and naff homemade blades hoodies
 

With the cost of living Tsunami approaching the sales of merch are going to take a hit anyway, looking at the clothing range offered Errea I can’t see this helping much To offset losses
 
Yusuf’s there, he’ll be calling them all cunts and telling them he doesn’t even like them.
