New kit

[wizadry]

Go with the positives, could have been far worse, slowly edging towards a proper Blades shirt.

Hope the confirmation of stripes on the back is accurate...UTB

Fuck the positives, mate, lets just moan like fuck, it's a lot easier.

I'm not too fussed about kits to be honest but that's one of the best kits we've had for a long time. Perhaps the only thing that could've stopped me liking it is if Collins, Coutts, Higdon and Hammond did the fucking launch.

being coat hangers they can just manage

really like the new shirt especially with the Dynasty shoulders on it , as we enter the Wilder dynasty

It's a yes from me apart from the back sponsor although that's better than the previous blue shite. Front sponsor looks ok cos they've kept it black. I think the black shoulders look good. Just a bit too red on the sides. Needs more white or black sides (like the Le Coq one from our first season after the Prem relegation). I thought that was good and this one reminded me of that. Unfortunately that was worn during the Bryan Robson season!

I thought our new shirt was the template adidas gave their top teams last season like Real and Bayern but unfortunately not. I've got last season's Bayern shirt and the difference in quality is obvious.

Good point. That logo ruins it a bit.

That logo ruins it a lot.

Yeah yeah stripes stripes, whatever, but what's George Long going to wear?

 

[CarlMcBlade]

If the damned shirt is any less than 100% polyester, I'll be incandescent with rage!!

 

[boo radley]

Love it
Oh we are the Sheffield United. We play in the Red White and Black and we are so proud to shout it out load the big time we're coming back.

A tracksuit to keep him warm on the bench

Me personally....I think the quality and fit of the Adidas shirts has been the best we have had in a long time.

Styled to fit properly rather than a baggy mess, too long in the sleeves and waist....I personally don't particularly mind us having a unique kit....I would be happy for Adidas to just have a simple stripe with the odd touch to make it clear about the club.

Agree about sewn on badges mind....stickers are crap but we can't do a lot about the sponsor.

Suits you sir.

On whose bench though?

Hopefully not ours.

Good to be back to R+W stripes but we knew that anyway, overall its quite drab though imo.

I always prefer 4 stripes to the 3, the latter makes it look cheap and in turn makes the stripes obviously fatter. But at least the back is still striped.

And why black socks?? The shorts are black so having the socks the same means the bottom half of the kit is all one colour which makes it boring and a lack of contrast. This club's colours is red and white, and more often than not we don't have enough white on the kit bar last season's shirt as that is a one off.

We should always stick with black shorts and white socks or vice versa as a baseline, looks far better! Plus it makes us unique as no other club that plays in R+W stripes ever uses the black shorts/white socks combination.

Totally agree. Always like Black shorts with White socks. Not sure where the black socks comes from? We have often had red but rarely black?

Dont mind the shirt. Not perfect but think ahead. In 12 months our deal with Adidas runs out doesn't it? Then we will probably never know how lucky we were to have this brief relationship with a decent company. Some of shirts may be generic but they are decent quality and actually last.

Over 400 comments.

I'm doing the equivalent of running to the other side of the school photo to appear twice, by adding another comment.

What a lovely kit!

 

[Damski]

Reeeeiiiiiiigggggghhhhhhtttttt smart kit. I'll be wearing that with pride all season.

 

[breeny]

Anybody bought one yet? Wondering about sizing. The green away shirt in medium was a decent fit on me. Just wondering about the new shirt in medium...going to order online tonight...

 

[wizadry]

Hopefully not ours.

So you want him starting instead then?

 

[mattbianco1]

Which is fair enough I guess. Mind you, can't see my 7 and 3 year olds in the market for doors and hotels any time soon!

They're not advertising to kids though are they. But they ARE protecting them from wondering what the hell Carlsberg is or Bet365

I've been medium in every adidas shirt up to now, including this.

If any brewery/betting/finance house came along with a wallet full of sponsorship money,
they'd not flinch.

We've already had a brewer on the front.

It's all about the money, forget the badge.

edit : Redtooth. Are they a Poker League business?

Just gone and fetched mine. A very kind Blade lent me his season ticket to get the discount. I didn't even know the club were doing that for ST holders.

I also prefer white socks, but we've had black the most in our history. The white socks were a 60 and 70s change, and we had black socks most of the 90s and 00s.

Even when things go well by our standards, they never fail to provide something to disappoint.

Black socks? We so, so nearly successfully completed a simple task. We had it in our grasp but we just wouldn't allow ourselves the satisfaction.

I suppose they wouldn't have been happy if they hadn't have fucked up on at least one thing.

I'm waiting for a message from my late Uncle Gonzo.
Ask him where's the money.
Thanks

They haven't fucked up, black socks are good enough. You'd moan if someone offered you a million quid to wear white socks, laughable.

Didn't know you were mates with Barney.

How hard is it to choose white socks over black? I suppose we were so fortunate to have got the red and white back, we needed something controversial to be punished with.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Always white socks for me. Sunlan (black) Soton (red) Blades (white)

 

[S64 Blade]

When is the away kit out? Looking forward to some mock ups on Paint; it's been a day without seeing any.

 

[derfblade]

Away kit is black shirt and shorts with WHITE socks......trust me.

 

[Dnblade]

Good to see the Red and White stripes back...I reckon that's a subtle move by CW with the door logo on the back to remind the team to keep the bleeding back door shut..or maybe a reminder that if you don't perform,you're out the fuckin door.
