New kit by March then?

[highpeakblade]

I know kits get done quite a bit on here but just picking up one Jim Phipps comments on Twitter regarding shirt designs etc, he says that the true anniversary is actually in March and sort of hints to watch this space for the arrival of a new 125 years anniversary kit?

We are also hinting at dropping Macron as we all know and we are being told that we won't be disappointed with our new suppliers?

Feel a bit hard done by that I only bought the new kits a few months or so ago, that said I'm not overly fond of this seasons offerings to be fair and am looking forward to seeing how they will commemorate our big birthday.

I'm really into the kits of yesterday and really love simple, retro designs therefore anything along these lines will be great. I didn't overly mind the design that was posted on here the other week however I would miss the usual thicker red & white stripes however it wouldn't be permanent would it.

Never got used to the away kit this year, it hasn't warmed on me what so ever and I bloody bought it at £40 OUCH!. Anyone know if this will move on with the release of a new away kit or are we only getting an home offering? Mind you if we are getting a new supplier then that is a silly question isn't it, the away kit will have to go to make way for the new manufacturers which is cracking news!

Anyway as said I know kits get done to the max but I do like the design offerings from the artists around here so any realistic designs welcome and if anyone knows anything rumours or not about the new kit then please feel free to let us all know?

I think, but not 100% sure, that there is something in the Fan Charter about only changing the kit once a season. They may however have a one off shirt, a la a few years ago!

 

[highpeakblade]

Ahh ok so a third kit of such?

Remember buying the special edition one.....now how many times did they play in that one?

But I still don't get how that would work if we are getting in a new manufacturer? Surely we wouldn't have 2 by Macron still and one by a new maker? I'm sure it has been heavily hinted that a new manufacturer are on board to make the new 125th anniversary kit?.

Maybe these rules are to be relaxed due to the occasion?

I have heard of kits by Nike, Addidas Puma etc not heard of March who are they ?

 

[UnitedBlade]

The anniversary is 2 months today: 22 March 1889 - 22 March 2014.

If they can wear a special kit versus Wolves, they had better start marketing it pretty damn quickly.

If it is based on our original kit, I will buy one.

I'm not bothered if it does come with blue shorts, they were our original shorts, what's the problem?

It won't matter to me as a man of my age should not never be seen in football shorts whatever the colour.

UTB

I would imagine if it is celebrated in March it will be a one-off special for the Wolves game only, made by Macron

Congratulations mate, shame it won't be a promotion season for you to top it off!

Do we know if it's a baby boy blade or a baby girl blade yet?

They might release what the kit for next season will look like without actually releasing it for sale?

Sorry guys. We are United. We are red and white. Black shorts. It pisses me off when we play away and change to a shit kit. Red and white for ever.

 

[WhiteHawk]

I hope we do have a special kit but they have to to avoid ruining it with sponsors logos.

Personally i doubt there will be a new kit this season but for next id like warrior to be the manufactures, some of their new kits are brilliant. Check out the Sevilla one:

Have you seen liverpools two away kits? No thanks

http://www.warriorfootball.com/teams/liverpool

The black one has different socks!! I wonder if all the players are taught to make sure the purple cuff is on the correct leg or not?!?

 

[leegend]

granted Liverpools kits a bit suspect but at least its different.

Better than Crapron thats for sure.

Yep I was just speculating about highpeakblade's comments, if Jim Phipps has hinted that something might happen in March. Releasing pictures of a new kit early is standard marketing guff by clubs these days etc. Also annoys me when we go away to Carlisle say and play in yellow, but not going to get too upset about it

 

[Linz]

It depends if we were to be celebrating the actual birthday... or the 125th year.

Just a thought.

Hopefully not for your childs sake.

You dont want them to have a relatively successfukl firts 30 years then a lifetime of continually being let down and disappointed!

Congrats though!

 

[Bladepicker]

We should all be able to vote for our favourite kit of the last 125 years - whichever gets the most we should use the design.

Lace up collar home for me from about 92/93 and Yellow and Burgandy away from 81.

No idea as yet, waiting for the day....hoping for a boy obviously!

As long as the home shirt next season looks like this I don't care..

Reminds me of Hummel's shirt designs

You are joking? They're awful!

 

[ShropshireBlade]

is it coincidence that all the Macron stuff in the superstore is about £10... trying to get rid of it all in time for a new supplier maybe?

Not really. They always knock it all out for £10-£20 about this time of year.

It is without doubt, Bianca, the finest kit The Blades have worn!
