I mean, it does look really nice. I am probably in the minority, but I really like that collar. There's something about it, its got a very early 00's Italian/ Spanish side feel.

I'd not want Nike at all, template kits galore - the only interesting thing they've done recently is the T90 template, but if everyone gets it as a 3rd shirt, hardly unique!

I posted about this pages ago, but something different like; Kappa, Lotto or Diadora would be great.

Although all probably better than ours?

That Brighton one is horrific. Looks better on your version as you brought a 3rd colour in that isn't in their design.
I dare say for a top top team like Barcelona, Nike will go the extra mile. But for us? Minimal effort.
Their collars are pretty boring too. Umbro is the one.

Highlight of that season

Erm, not the only highlight, though:

I’m 58…I’ve got enough red and white striped shirts to see me to the grave.

…The away kit looks nice though

New home shirts will look good in winter when you can wear a jacket.

Only 1 left in stock? Time for another print run?

The women's team haven't changed to the white name and numbers.

potentially with the budgets involved they are still wearing the same kits they were for the other preseason games. Hope to god they’ve sorted it for the opening game on 5th Sept otherwise I will really have no clue who is playing for us what with all the new signings

I have been wanting us to go with Hummel for years but, based on this season's kits, I'm now fully in the Kappa camp

Prefer a fully blank back to this

I hope we see some of these kicking about

No, I like it. I think it's much better. First thing I noticed when I watched the Sunderland v Mansfield game the other night. Has a proper 1970's retro vibe to it.

I agree, but the PL numbers are so large now that Sunderland have just blocked all the way instead of a square. Would look much better as a square.

I ordered one of the yellow 23/24 away shirts that season which looked great but on closer inspection the collar and cuffs were very dark green and not black

Indeed, and moved further up, along with the name, like the mock-up. To be honest, I don't see the point of having a name on the shirt, if the numbers are clear enough. Same with test cricket.

I love the white box. Ones on the late 80s and the red one on the 92 are great it’s the fact the name is plonked on stripes that makes it look a mess imo

Yep there’s always little signs on a fake and dark green collars and cuffs were the obvious ones on that shirt!

I believe the reason is the 2 digit numbers that don’t start with 1 wouldn’t fit within the box so that had to use the full width.

Your mockup look like it would just fit but on the actual shirts I don’t think it would.

Xhaka's fits in the white stripes



The box into the red stripes makes it look awful

 

[Ginger Gnome]

Generally the thing with solid backs or gaps like Sunderland's is that they look a bit weird if they're full width, if our one had white side panels or that Sunderland one had red down the sides it'd look better as it creates a frame

Still think the bottom left of the 3 goes in to the stripe. Some double digit combos will I bet. Not saying it’s right but bet that’s why they did it.

At least they offered their fans fully stripes backs.

I think you just might be right

There’s also probably a rule where they need 36.4mm recurring of plain coloured material around all edges of numbers for visibility.
