World Cup of Blades Kits

[Webding]

Everyone knows that the one run by the official club Twitter was rubbish - nowt before 1990 and the wrong kit won. So we are doing one with double the amount of kits, and going back to about 1970...

Currently running is the wildcard qualifying...



And...

Before my time, but those two 'Cantors' ones are bootiful

 

[Webding]

Agreed, the plain yellow and white ones are a thing of beauty and would work brilliantly with Adidas stripes. I only saw them for the first time last week.

 

[Deadbat]

Bumped. Starts tonight - the groups - 32 kits to choose from.

 

[Webding]

16 today actually. Four groups today, four tomorrow. Love to string it out, me.

Looking at these, its too hard to separate how nice "the kit" may be from what went off with those wearing them on the pitch.

The 17-18 white kit will always be associated with that night in Burton to me.

I’d agree with this to an extent... but then on the other hand, if we’d cocked up at Leicester, that fluo kit would still be the greatest thing we’ve ever worn (in my opinion). Likewise, we could have won the European Cup in that diamonds kit and it’d still be a sack of shite.

Yeah - we said on the podcast that it’s Leon and Coutts for that kit. Such a weird night- great win, but it was like a morgue in that pub next to Derby station.

Didzy single handedly got this year’s kit a shock result in group A...

 

[Webding]

That last one is a proper group of death.

 

[Webding]

Forgot to post the last 16. It went according to seeding anyway.

 

[Webding]

And now there’s just a couple of hours left in the quarter finals:

 

[Webding]

Got a couple of big semis. Wahey, etc.

 

[Webding]

Predictable final...

 

[shorehamview]

It seems to show that we like a black pinstripe on the home kit and an away kit as eye-searingly bright as possible.

 

[Webding]

I definitely like a black pinstripe. That Sabella home kit is perfection.

Agreed. I believe it is the one Woody is sporting in my Avatar. Preferred this kit to the 92 - 94 home kit as it had white shorts. Made us look too much like Stoke.

 

[Deadbat]

The right kit won...
