Kit thread: Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

Brentford's 18/19 away kit is interesting

It makes you wonder who at Brentford agreed to accept that. It’s shit, and that’s being polite.

brown suits with orange shirts didn't really survive the 1970s though did it?

Don't tell my Dad that, he's colourblind and thinks he's still trendy.

'Kipper Tie?' as Noddy Holder said when he was felling thirsty ...... btw, is that a real teaser of our new kit or is someone just teasing?

 

[Bladeinleeds]

Always find it strange that teams don’t just put the design out there and then just give a release date?? The design isn’t gonna change now so why wouldn’t they just show what it looks like?

Still I suppose we can all speculate until then!

 

[DifferentClass]

Bizarrely brown and orange is a great combo on pretty much any item of clothing that isn't a football kit. Same with brown and sky blue. Put brown on a football kit and it will very quickly become 2 seemingly contradictory things. Almost universally detested and iconic.

Just ask any SISU fan of a certain vintage. Internally known at Admiral as "chocolate brown" apparently... that's not what everyone else thought!

Voted worst kit ever but I think its now got a rival from Brentford.

Is that a new signing on the right?

Thistles

Partick

Oh fuck, Sammon's back???????

 

[bladesmanluke]

Why can’t we just have the same kit for 2 or 3 seasons?

You’ll say because people will buy one every year, but that’s the very reason I rarely get them anymore.

That is fucking beautiful

yes, I'm trying to book a stag-do in Leo Vegas as we speak .... anyone remember how to work teletext?

 

[SRBlade]

Why don't clubs give fans a selection of shirt designs and they can vote for the best, guaranteed to sell in large numbers.

Because then our shirts would be made by MASTURB8 too!!

Agree with the thoughts of bladesmanluke #399, not just stay with the same kit for a couple of seasons, but look beyond the narrow commercial considerations and go for a shirt (last season's was excellent) that maintains traditional United red, white, and black colourway.

Out of Egan, Woods or any other Brentford player we might be interested in you just know we’ll end up with the one on the right.

 

[Jon Bon II]

The River Plate one on the right...

It would be able to walk itself to the match by mid September...

 

[IMABLADE]

Love the Nigeria kit, but the tracksuit is even better.

Swap the green for red and that'd be lovely

I think there are a few different options to break the cycle.

- have two home shirts identical in pattern to each other; one for warm weather ( a mesh fabric , short sleeves, V-neck?) & one for winter, long sleeves, higher neck, warmer fabric and use them for 2 football seasons without changing the stripes....... the completists will buy both as they do already but those who aren't so addicted will be able to buy one of them and it'll still be current for double the time they are now - this would be particularly helpful to parents on a tight budget who wouldn't have to fork out so often ... only half as much, without the kids getting mocked for being out of fashion. The players would have the choice of which version to play in and still look uniform.

- have a reversible shirt, home kit on one side, away kit on the other...... again, in effect, it would be half-price .... but that's the problem isn't it?

there will be more ideas which could save a fan money.

Well thought through vorps. My only concern, and I must stress it's not a criticism, is that football clubs aren't usually synonymous with showing an enlightened approach to those supporters who exist on a tight budget. Strange considering that this should be the case, especially as it would further strengthen the bond between club and fan. The seasonal reveal of a new shirt has become endemic amongst clubs. It's not about a need for change, it never has been, it's simply a short-sighted exploitation, assuming the supporters can continue to be squeezed regardless of their circumstances.

If only the Blades could take a lead and extend a little imagination towards those supporters who are financially stretched. Just a little thought on the club's behalf would go a long, long way towards revealing an understanding of those supporters and the financial constraints they have to cope with.

Another striped disaster, this time from Lincoln City...

I don't think it's strange - footballers are millionaires now so haven't got much clue about how the other half live, but club owners have always been, they all used to be local 'businessmen' and there is no-one as happy ripping off poor people without caring as local 'businessmen'.

Press hold at the right time, or you've got to wait for the 754 pages to scroll round again. Nightmare.

Can we not just have this for the away, but swap the blue for white and the black shoulder stripes to red?
