The New Kit Thread

[Colly]

Boro go down, get Adidas kits. Bolton go down, get Adidas kits. Newcastle go down, get jizzy Puma rubbish. Weak.

That Bolton kit's about a thousand times better than the last couple they've had.

It gets it's proper unveiling at some point today but some daft knacker went and plastered a billboard up yesterday with it on.

It is what it is, an alright kit on the merry go round of away kits. We'll have green or yellow soon enough! I probably won't buy it, as I've seen some of the training gear and I quite like the look of that in comparison. Suppose they have to be imaginative with colours, as there's only so much you can do with red and white stripes in the home shirt.

I'm more worried by the fact that the photographer probably said "act like your celebrating a goal" and clearly no one remembered how to do that.

And now ruddy Sunderland get Adidas, I'm even less happy. I do think there's an 'Invest in Africa - then lose said investment to the Middle East' joke in there somewhere though.

I suspect when the delegates come over and ask how Gyan, Muntari and Mensah are all doing these days we'll have to do some squirming.

We're taking credit for Danny Welbeck though.

This is the new team in the A League - The Western Sydney Wanderers.... really like this kit, although, they should have black shorts.

The Western Sydney Menaces.

Nice away kit Sunderland.

I'm suffering from SERIOUS Adidas-envy these past few days.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I'm so depressed.

Grey. GREY.

[supergrass]

Perhaps just the photo, but it looks so cheap. It's probably not helped by the shirt being too big.

I prefer a plainer football shirt. The sleeve trim is ok if you have to, but the side panels, the grey slashes, the bird on the back - awful. But it's Tottenham, so why not?

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

My problem is that I always MUCH prefer the simple Tottenham shirts.

[supergrass]

The last one was great, and the previous Puma effort before that really good - although the white triangle below the collar needlessly interrupts the blue and I didn't like the shorts or that Puma gave that kit to everyone.

I know kit designers have limited scope to work within, but so many kits this year have a "for the sake of it" feel to them. The worst offender remains Barcelona, or any team with stripes who have seen them messed with and a simple, classic design ruined.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

I guess that at least we didn't end up with a McTottenham tartan design.

[Lineker]

HOPING that the away kit is a better effort than that tat.

:puke: :puke:

[Cymbols]

I like both.

At least last season's Arsenal away kit had a familiar colour scheme if nothing else, although I prefer the traditional yellow shirt, blue trim. Easy. Purple stripes need never enter the equation. I don't buy kits, and when I see Arsenal play it's at the Emirates, so ultimately don't really care and won't have to view it in person.

But still. I don't like that at all. Two shades of a dark blue and no smaller stripes on the sleeves would've been better.

[Lineker]

On the plus side, Arsenal have a shit kit too.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Ahhh Arsenal, that's wonderfully camp.

[Adam]

It remains miles better than Spurs kits though.

I saw the new Millwall and Ipswich kits today and they're both atrocious.
