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

[ChipButtyBlade]

Green sponsor writing and TOO much white,i wont be buying sorry.

 

[Blade58]

How can the heirarchy at the club allow us to have a plain white back shirt?

Fkin criminal

 

[BigBed]

Would prefer the sponsor on the home kit to be the same as on the goalkeeper kit - black letters rather than a massive box

Sometimes a "massive box" can do wonders!

 

[Wards]

Horrific

 

[blades95]

small changes but makes it look much better imo

 

[BigBed]

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

Are you talking about Dempseys again!!???

 

[Right Back]

Stripe the back & sleeves, have the sponsor in black with a contrast outline (like last season) & it would be infinitely better. The width of the stripes are just about right. I'm sure they make plain backs so you're temped to put numbers/names on there to break it up a bit & therefore fleece you out of more cash in the process.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Don't like it. Sponsors are also crap. Ramsdens Currency is an utter shite tongue-twister, not to mention fkin stupid Door Deals slapped on the upper back again. Utter wank north of England tasteless shite. No wonder Brooksy is leaving...

 

[Bert]

First the half and half scarf, now the half and half shirt. Us and Leeds.

Great.

 

[Esablade]

Bit meh innit...you know what we wants Blades:

 

[BigBed]

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.

Unless your Balti drops down it in the fight to get away from the snap cabin!!

Taken from the Star:

A spokesman for adidas said: "Our current design direction for the upcoming season sees us providing a plain reverse shirt treatment for Sheffield United, and our other partner clubs, who have stripes within their identity.

This is the biggest load of bull shit I've heard in a while! So not only is it totally shite its a template for all British striped teams that they've actually removed the stripes! Only Adidas.

 

[Enigmatic]

small changes but makes it look much better imo

Logo looks much better, but I think I prefer the white sleeves tbh.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Attacking kop will be fine, attacking Lane end and I'm in the wrong stadium again..

All the pissed fans will think there are 3 teams on the pitch.

 

[BigBed]

Adidas have done it. Not just us by the sounds of it:

Technical partner, adidas, commented: "Our current design direction for the upcoming season sees us providing a plain reverse shirt treatment for Sheffield United, and our other partner clubs, who have stripes within their identity. In combination with more tailored and bespoke detailing throughout the kit we believe this will allow us to create more standout designs for our clubs in the UK and we're looking forward to seeing the shirts on pitch in 2018/19."

The contradiction in that statement is that you've taken away our identity you bastards!

Time to fuck Adidas off, why can't we have Umbro back, atleast you knew there would be none of this bullshit to try and disguise a shit design.

 

[BigBed]

Logo looks much better, but I think I prefer the white sleeves tbh.

White sleeves and striped back.

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Fucking awful generic shit. Nobody likes it and the club is meant to make some cash off shirt sales. Why are we not designing our own ? Bring back umbro now.

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

Well I think it’s awful, looks like we need to move to New Balance, they seem to be capable of making some proper kits.

 

[Davalon]

small changes but makes it look much better imo

Have a big like.

I was just about to post that I don't think it's too bad but needs striped sleeves and black sponsor letters.

 

[bromtom]

Unless your Balti drops down it in the fight to get away from the snap cabin!!

Having anyone eating a pie behind you is going to be a dangerous game next season.

They ought to start selling a series of capes to protect the pristine white of the new kits.

 

[Adiroy]

Dont think its that bad to be honest! Infact who am i kidding its garbage.. sondico next year anyone?

 

[Muttley]

I'm not surprised they have been doing the video "teasers". They were probably ashamed to launch it.....

Mind you, launching it may be the best thing........into outer space.

 

[mattbianco1]

How to solve the problem (if we have red numbers) - get #11111 on the back

 

[bromtom]

small changes but makes it look much better imo

Could be that there's just one stripe on the arm and some kind of white panel under the arm, wouldn't be that unusual on a football shirt.

Might be like this

Do they not frequent these forums!? I posted this days ago, they had time! Haha

 

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

Do they not frequent these forums!? I posted this days ago, they had time! Haha

That’s just about perfect.

 

[Bashar Al Asaba]

YESSSS!

FUCKING YESSS!

FINALLY the type of kit I was hoping for. Proper stripes and no piping on the sleeves.

Sheffield United: take my money now.

And to think I truly believed that they'd finally got it right.

It's fucking shit.

That's the last time I ever open up my heart to the possibility of happiness again.

 

[SwissBlade]

First thoughts are that its a bit too white and looks like Southampton's kit. But no means awful but they could've done so much better and made it a bit less generic and more United.

Last seasons Home kit was the best kit i think we've had (plus the blue away kit made them my two favourite kits ever)

I loved the Black on last seasons kit but if i had a comment on last seasons, then the stripes could've been ever so slightly narrower.

This season, they've nailed the red and white stripe thickness, but where are the black stripes? They could've and should've put a very thin pin stripe in between.

The White sleeves and shoulders don't do it to for me and the white back has ruined it.

I'm guessing that we'll be getting a darker away kit this season and certainly hope there is no need for a white away kit

I'll sadly still buy it as they're great shirts for running, but it's not a classic.

Last season: 9/10
This season: 5/10

 

[Harry's Game]

sorry but it’s awful

 

[stringjunior]

I like it .










Runs for cover

 

[Rusty view]

ITK info. They changed the kit to a shit one this week to distract from Brooks leaving.

Me personally I'd like to see more black on it. It's too red n white for me if that makes sense.
