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

[Blade56]

Love the away kit.

That away kit is beautiful. I loved the last purple and yellow away one.

I hate any concept in yellow and purple

 

[snootyfenooty]

We have to get it right. We don't want to turn out in the Prem looking like we've been attired in a charity shop a la this year's kit!

That crest on the away shirt is something I've advocated for a long time.

You see them swords and you know immediately that it's us. Nowt else is needed. It's minimilist and bold. I love that.

I'd add 1889 in Roman numerals as a wee extra, but once you see what 1889 in Roman numerals actually is you decide against it very long.

never too early to start again

Love both of those. I was 13 when the original yellow/purple came out so it's one one of my favourites anyway.

Old song new version

No pig fans in town ... etc so on and so forth
... and the year is MDCCCLXXXIX

Might just work.

I demand to see the backs of the shirt before I make a decision !!!!

Crucial point - no decision possible until the back is seen.

This seasons home kit is poor.

Who’s put forward these shirts then?

Anybody official at the Lane?

Don’t know who concept shirts are.

No, it’s a concept from Twitter

 

[Sheffsteel]

Don’t buy replica shirts that often but both those shirts look like classics.
I’m looking for something to be ultra critical about the design but have to accept that I like everything about both of them.

Would definitely buy the home shirt and probably buy the away shirt too.

Agree I’d take that crest on the away shirt looks good and instantly recognisable as Sheffield United. I think full colour badge on the away shirt when it doesn’t match makes it look cheap. More famous clubs than us are happy to change the colour of their badge to match the shirt and we’ve done it before. We’ve only had the full colour round crest on the shirt since 1999 anyway (going on historicalkits.co.uk).

Pointless doing them this early though because Adidas will have new templates for next season. Think the home shirt is based on Argentina's world cup shirt so that's not going to be current by the time we need a new home kit.

How polite of you, I think it's fucking awful.

If only. That has a striped back!

Like this one from 1977, you mean?

Will it still be Adidas making it?

Oh aye! Missed that.

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

Hope so.

 

[bromtom]

Think we had a 4 year deal running to the end of last season, we still have them this season so I assume a new contract has been signed?

Home shirt should be a red middle stripe. Apart from that, very good. Away kit is horrible.

But it would be great with stripes on the arms and back.

 

[The Crab]

Love them both, would want to buy them.

How a United home kit should look

Well it won't be fucking Masterb8 thank God!

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Well it won't be fucking Masterb8 thank God!

Are you sure?

Are you sure?

Yes.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Yes.

Good.

Our away kit is being recycled for next season.

It’s not supposed to match, it’s our badge and it doesn’t cause a colour clash with the opponents colours. I think change shirts with matching badges look cheap, it looks as though they aren’t proud of their club badge and are prepared to give it up to suit the kit manufacturer. The current change shirt looks so much better with our red, white and black badge than an almost invisible yellow matching badge.

Fucking third kit.
No fucking need is there? Just pick summat different to your home kit. Then wear it when required.
