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

[Large Mendonca]

Not sure about the white back, won’t be buying it regardless

 

[Ainsley Harriott]

Shite

 

[Speedracer]

So much potential with the classic stripes. Ruined by the green logo and white back for me. Anti climax.

Snap, without those it would be quite nice really.

 

[Enigmatic]

The sponsor lets it down, not sure why it's not the same as the goalkeeper kit.

Not a fan of sponsor logos in big white boxes, looks tacky and last-minute.

Seems the plain back isn't our design choice, Adidas are doing it with all of their striped kits this season.

 

[Macfarlane21]

Well the new kit is out so even better now...

Life is complete lol

 

[Eric Cartman]

Nice way to ruin a decent kit with that fucking awful sponsor.
How hard is it to get black lettering with no background like the past 2 years?

 

[WhiteHawk]

Looks nice from the front, and then you look at the back.......

 

[bromtom]

The sposors logo isn't that bad in green really, reminds me of the premier league away kit with the white box and green font. At least it's an emerald green not a bright green.

Also it looks worse on the video.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

White sleeves I don’t mind. Any solid colour for the back I’m not a fan of. Disappointing, as if it had been stripes on the back I think it would have been excellent.

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Would it really have been too difficult to make the sponsor text black? Fucking awful. Ah well at least it's red and white stripes (from the front).

 

[Stretch]

I don't mind the green logo actually but the white back is bit naff

Anyone know what colour the shorts will be?

 

[Torrix1889]

Fucking horrible kit.....worst of our agreement with Adidas and worst since the diamond kit....a green sponsor.... seriously, what the actual fuck.

 

[ben1987]

Don't mind the shirt too much but the sponsor is fucking hideous

 

[itsinyerblood]

The bar was set high with last season's shirt. Just consider what it could have ended up like though.....thankful for small mercies.

 

[penthouseblade]

Not great, looks like Brentford!

Let seasons shirt was nigh on perfect, it was always going to be difficult to live up to that one but then again we could have kept it!

 

[bromtom]

I actually think black in a white box would look worse. Like we couldn't afford a colour print.

It'd be better if it was like the Teletext holidays and alpharooms of the years previous, black with a white stroke, but whatever.

The plain back is definitely going to sell some numbers and names. Looks plain as all fook but then again if the front is nice it's not that big a deal.

 

[TarquinDelouche]

That sponsor tho. Because you know it means wearing a big layer of plastic across your chest. Ta, but no. I’ll see what they do to the away kit.

 

[s4-blade]

Other than looking shite, having a big block transfer on the front of the shirt actually makes it quite awkward to play in. No promotion this year.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

That sponsor look fucking horrendous.

Looks ok on the keeper kit. Wish they'd done the same on the home kit. Smart shirt (albeit a bit of a change from traditional united kits of my lifetime) ruined by the monstrosity on the front

 

[Eric Cartman]

Its awful, that was 11 years ago!

 

[HeCanDoMagic]

White sleeves I don’t mind. Any solid colour for the back I’m not a fan of. Disappointing, as if it had been stripes on the back I think it would have been excellent.

Isn't it now a EFL rule that all the shirts must have solid colour backs? Could be wrong.

 

[Macfarlane21]

It would have been near impossible to match the past 2 seasons. With that in mind and trying to do something different... I like it.

With that much white my money is on a black away kit though

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Club: “People have said they don’t like the Doordeals logo on the back – is there anyway we can divert attention away from it?”

Adidas: “Well, we could make it a completely white back so that people aren’t sure if they hate it because of the logo or because of the lack of stripes – doubling down on the shitness if you will?”

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

I don't mind the green logo actually but the white back is bit naff

Black

If Leeds can get their badge changed, we can get stripes on the back. That's a joke the back of that shirt. We need Red Numbers and Letters to make up for it, but they'll be black.

 

[Stretch]

Black

Well that’s something to be happy about at least

 

[TarquinDelouche]

Oh, and the launch is a fucking dog’s dinner. On the official site, the news article is buried way back in the “Commercial News” section, the image on the front does not link to it, and the next item down on the homepage is about season tickets for 18/19 - with last year’s kit.

 

[Weasel]

Let's call it right. It's fkin awful. I for one won't be buying any for my lads as I don't like them to be walking billboards.

I know a sponsor brings in money and it's commercially necessary for Utd, but why oh why do football clubs think it is ok to bring out kits with enourmous plastic stick on advertisement blocks on the front of the red n white stripes. It just ruins it for me.

A simple thick stripes red n white jersey, black shorts and white socks. By all means have a sponsor on the shirt but have it small, classy, and fairly indiscreet. Sometimes less is more. Think of that classy looking bird down town who shows an appropriate amount of cleavage and a flash of thigh, against the town slapper who is showing all and sundry.

Piss poor kit that Utd. I shall be buying my lads some retro blades kits online for this season.

Don't mind the back so much, it's the monstrosity on the front that needs changing. Shouldn't be hard, they managed to do it for the goalie kit...

 

[bromtom]

I'm not saying I loved that, just that it didn't ruin my life.

I'd definitely prefer it without the box just to make that clear.
