Solid backs to striped kits..

[mattbianco1]

UEFA have now changed their ruling on this so if you have stripes or hoops on the front, they have to continue on the back, however, it seems a block for the number will be required.

This probably explains why some of the big clubs who often have solid backs, have got full on stripes this year. Milan and Inter for two and then Juve have gone for the block approach...



An exception to this I noticed however, is that Olympiakos who have the same template as us, does indeed have a solid back which I don't understand...


Anyway, this hopefully puts an end to Adidas doing this kind of thing.

I'd be all about it if our kits started to look more like this from the back

Striped back with a box for the number is done by me... anything to escape our cut and shut with Preston

 

[WhiteHawk]

Not sure I agree that if the front of the shirt is striped then the back MUST be striped too. I hate our home shirt but I do actually quite like that template and wouldn't be against seeing it used as an away shirt, perhaps with thicker stripes. I've mentioned before but I'd be quite happy to see us copy Fenerbahce. Yellow & navy blue stripes on the front, plain yellow on the back. Great shirt.

 

[ucandomagic]

Finally common sense.

It’s so obvious that I can’t believe that it didn’t take them longer to get there!!!

 

[From the pig end]

"Finds a white shirt" drives me crazy on Radio Sheffield commentary.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

You will be surprised to hear that I back this idea.

 

[WhiteHawk]

Oh, and the box is even worse than a plain back, it looks absolutely ridiculous.

 

[Yewsman]

Pity we are not in a UEFA competition so we would have to have stripes on the back! Hate the all white back on the home shirts!

 

[HVR]

I much prefer the clean stlye of red only stripes without the fussy black pin-stripe - kicking towards me in BLUT we look brilliant. If we had red stripes on the back, the current strip + fantastic football + promotion would make this season an all time classic. But I HATE the white back.

 

[Blade56]

This seasons home shirt is worse than the red pin stripe.

 

[metalblade]

Fuckin rubbish home kit stripes too thin, green sponsors logo, white sleeves and white back yuk! and the snot green away effort isn't much better

 

[HolmesfieldBlade]

I have to admit the new home kit is growing on me.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

I have to admit the new home kit is growing on me.

Me too. It looks better with every good performance.

 

[Stretch]

I have to admit the new home kit is growing on me.

I have never disliked it as much as many do on here. I get the objection to the white back, but overall I think it looks quite smart and is something different.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Never mind winters nearly here, at least we can wear an open cardigan to hide the plain white back(and door deals). Unfortunately the players can’t

 

[CarlMcBlade]

At least the predominantly white shirts seem to making us play like Fulham did last season.........also Oliver Norwood

 

[Neuschwanstein]

If we get promoted, (yes I know a long way to go), then the shirt will be loved by many.

 

[sheffielder]

The more i see our shirt the more I don’t mind it. I actually much prefer it to Brentford’s red back.

 

[benn5712]

Really like this shirt.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

Leon can

 

[Broomhall Blade]

I actually like the shirt.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Leon can

Maybe a gloved, hat and scarf ensemble.

 

[Booker4]

Cannot believe a few saying they like it more now, its growing on them etc. Its not a Sheffield United shirt. End of for me, cannot stand it! Don't even like it from the front (white sleeves), let alone the back!

Great that the ruling has come in though. Hopefully next season we'll get our stripes back.

Complete with a Sobranie cigarette in a holder

Here you go - try this...

Thanks mate. I moss use this right away.

This ruling won't affect us next season unless we win the FA Cup though.

I imagine we'll get them back anyway. Adidas don't stick with concepts long.

i wonder if it makes them easier to see (having a white back).. there's a reason zebra's have stripes
