Templates have been used by pretty much all kit manufacturers for decades. That’s just the textile industry. It’s like buying a Ralph Lauren polo shirt and moaning Asda have used the same template to make George polo shirts.

He didn't choose it, he actually hated it and selected it as the worst from a variety of Avec options, that was a rumour that he designed it but it is not true.

Can add this shirt as well, also the yellow away shirt was practically the same for both of us and numerous other Umbro away kits at the time.

Tell you what, here is something I never see get mentioned. Yellow and the use there of look How good it looks with the red, white and black when used as a subtle accent colour

does this work on a new kit or should it be left in the 90s?
Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn

The logo is actually that of the ‘Foundation of Hearts’ supporters group that was funding / seeking to ‘buy’ the club (finally achieved last season) following the club being right royally fucked over by a maniac chairman - think of us with the ‘Blades’ logo / ‘sponsorship

Quite like that (certainly better that the diamond Avec we had. )There again I absolutely loved the purple / yellow jersey- think it must be the purple as I’ve always liked the (various) brizzle City always (purple / lime)

Aside from the England back line, we actually had another subtle presence at the Euros: the Belgium away kit is essentially our home kit from last season, minus the stripes. The v-neck and collar, the red and black on the sleeves, the way the pattern stops just below the shoulders -- all identical!
In fact, it's Belgium who've been had here: a little yellow stripe between the red and black on the sleeves would have made this an all-time classic, but Adidas couldn't be bothered

There were loads of teams who used that template last season.
GB Olympics Team:
Sweden
Wolves
Fulham
Leicester
Pretty much all the MLS (the Adidas stripes on shoulder were unique to MLS)...
No doubt a ton more

Is it a pipe dream to wish of a kit manufacturer that could offer only bespoke kits to it's customers?
Are there even one or two already in existence?
If not have I spotted a gap in the sports merchandise market (
only kidding!).

Templates of Worship, no. 1 – adidas ‘military medals’
Like so many other things that were accepted in the past, templates get a bad rap nowadays. When done right, they can be excellent and, as we like to show every Friday, there’s nothing wrong …

York had an Admiral tramlines kit in the 90s.
It's not templates that are bad(it's madness to think kit makers can do different collar deigns for every single club) just lazy ones that have nothing club specific except the badge and colour. Away kits have always been like that, but home kits are getting increasingly lazy and don't often allow for much customisation beyond what the average pub team can pick out of the catalogue.
The 92-94 laces kits that every single Umbro team had were a template, but all looked different and unique to each club, and the MLS kits all look different despite sharing a template. Whereas this season's Leicester kit looks like the page one of the catalogue option that Birmingham always used to get from Adidas.

This thread has taught me that stripes on sleeves are 100% the only way to go.
