No ones saying we shouldn't have 3 kits from what I've seen?

I am. Vehemently so. Fucking 3rd kits are a total marketing profiteering rip off and are utterly utterly unnecessary. How hard can it be to design a change strip that doesn't clash with the home strip? Fucking 3rd kits get my goat. Well, it's just a shirt after all and as so many folk have rightly said on here I'm not gonna bleat about a shirt...so it's the concept of the 3rd kit that actually gets my goat. ( I should add that I don't see how this shirt will clash with the Man Utd/Liverpool red...although maybe just maybe depending on how much white is on the home shirt maybe maybe away at Leeds/Fulham...)

What if the third kit is this seasons white away kit? That's not to exploit anybody. The shirts are already in circulation and have been reduced in price. That way, we could wear the following kits at away games:

Arsenal - Pink. Or if that is deemed to clash, White (black shorts)
Villa - Any
Brighton - Any
Burnley - Any
Chelsea - Any
Palace - White or Pink
Everton - Any
Fulham - Pink
Leeds - Pink
Leicester - Any
Liverpool - Pink or White
Man City - Home or White... You'd think pink would be OK, but my lad is colour blind and confuses sky blue with pink.
Man Utd - Pink or White
Newcastle - Pink or White
Southampton - Pink or White
Spurs - Pink
WBA - Any
West Ham - Any
Wolves - Any

I think we'll have a new third kit this season. Definitely won't be the lime green, as United tweeted about it's final appearance, but in scenarios where pink is a clash, I can see white being one too. Arsenal away for example where we wore green - can't see them letting us wear white this season if we couldn't last.

A black one would be nice.

Also a good money spinner if it's something fans want.
 
Just checked online and all the XXL and XXXL shirts already sold out, thought tubby middle aged men weren't into this kit?

More likely the only ordered a few hundred in those sizes. As a larger gent (see; fat bastard) myself, they don't last long.

Hopefully they restock this season. Still waiting on the email telling me the 17/18 training tops are back in... Something tells me it won't be coming 😆

Maybe because there wouldn’t be much call for it as most people wouldn’t have shelled out for it a second time just for a different sponsor on the front. 👍🏻

It’s either a marketing rip off or it isn’t...

Yep. I'll take your point.about the use of something that already exists (in some circumstances) but really there should never even be a conversation about this. And to stringer my point was about launching a third new kit as being a marketing rip off. Using a previous kit is not that and I get that. But really, I just don't see any need for it. If it's about using different colours as a change strip in order to not clash then use a colour that is not going to clash. Simple. Otherwise if it's about keeping within the club colour scheme then let's always just have 3 change shirts - a red, a white and a black one - available as change strips options, with the same options for shorts, and pick whichever one is most suitable.

If it was a marketing rip off, they’d have released it anyway wouldn’t they? No matter how small the change?

Do season ticket holders still get a discount in the shop these days? Been that long since I've bought anything from there.

I haven't seen it mentioned by the club anywhere, although technically we haven't got any season ticket holders at the minute.
 
The material of both shirts isn't great compared to the last couple of seasons (although that's probably a little harsh as the last couple have been excellent quality). The home shirt somehow feels a little worse than the away one, even though they both seem to be made using the same stuff.

Not keen on the collar on the home one, but the Tetris effect they've gone with on the red stripes is discreet enough for it to be barely noticeable.

Away shirt is good, really like the "camo" effect they've gone with. It's more "pink snooker ball" than "pink highlighter".

Away > Home.
 
Only size available online for the away shirt is small, yet there were absolutely loads in the shop when I went today........

They're super thin. I do prefer the last 2 season's climalite stuff, over the new Aeroready material but I suppose it's a piece of performance clothing not a t-shirt and being thinner and more breathable is a good thing for the players.

Yeh they are, even the red on the home shirt is see through when you hold it up to the light!
