Yorkie Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 God those were the days, man. And fwiw, King Kev, mine recently went through its 200th wash and it still looks belter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeves that go beyond the elbow, billowing cut and all that. https://arsenaldirect.arsenal.com/Football-Shirts-and-Kit/Training/Limited-Collection/Arsenal-93-94-Originals-Shirt/p/MHK5626 If that's anything to go by then they copy it as it was from the time then recommend to go for a different size based on today's trend. I hope they're ready for the demand if they do this for us mind and not be stuck with just XS. Edited August 21, 2023 by Optimistic Nut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxst Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Castore have just fucked up yet another personalised shirt order for my son. It’s the third one to arrive without the personalisation that I’ve paid for each time. Sooner they fuck off the better- Disgrace of a company.

Yeah, if they re-release the classics it will be baggy, I assume - which honestly will look awesome - but most importantly, it will fucking sell like hot cakes.

54 Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Just been going through and looking at a load of our old kits, from the last 30 years or so, and while Adidas's design towards the end dropped off in the last few years, the difference them and then Puma ridiculous, it's just a complete nose dive in terms of design. Catastrophic drop off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 It's all about the 95/96 stuff like. Adidas were class at first, but there were only a handful of good kits imo and the last 4 seasons or so were mainly crap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Ar here if they sell the first kits I'm buying them plus back ups like. What a kit. Fuming at myself for being such a short arse when I was 6 that my old one is useless to me now. My dad's got his but his is way to big for me.

Kid Icarus Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Aye thinking about it now, it's funny how sick we were of adidas by the end. Especially their refusal to stripe the back after 05-06 and us getting identikits every year. That 95-96 year was unreal. Their Liverpool and Rangers stuff was lush as well. Thankfully they seem to be better now, although Man away is hideous Edited August 21, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry 209 Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Regarding the 'cup font' for names and numbers on the shirts - I notice that the club shop no longer displays the sign stating "still awaiting UEFA approval". But they are still printing Premier League names and numbers on shirts with Champions League patches. Given the amount of shirts sold over the last couple of months with the CL/PL combination I think it would be unwise for the club to introduce a cup font at this stage, rendering many peoples existing shirt configuration as inaccurate. Wouldn't be the best look on the pitch if we are the only team not to have a bespoke font for CL games though. Not sure why it's been a problem given it's been four months since we confirmed our place in Europe. Edited August 22, 2023 by Harry 209 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) Have to slightly disagree regarding the last few years of adidas. Yes, the home kits were probably nothing too spectacular but some of the away and European kits are fondly remebered for me. We had a yellow/golden European kit that brings memories of Shearer and Kluivert, an Argentian-style kit, a green/dark green away, there was one grey/silver one we played in the UEFA Cup in Mallorca I think. I even have some of the training gear from the relegation season and Championship season that were decent. Glancing through this, away kits were ok for adidas in my mind towards the end. Think I actually own and love most of them. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Newcastle_United/Newcastle_United-change-kits.html Edited August 22, 2023 by nufcjb Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't understand the misty-eyed stuff - they were shite for the vast majority of the time. The away kits were almost all hideous, and some of the home kits weren't far behind. The money the club gets is the main thing, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 The jersey we used for 95/96 and 96/97 more than makes up for any missteps after. Besides we were totally declining on the pitch for years after so it didn’t really matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
