Kid Icarus Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 They're not as good as they were about 10 or so years ago, but I think I've decided the best hands we could be in design wise would be Umbro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being shit hot (to Keegans Export 2nd point) while we had it seemed to cover for me that to me it was a distinct step down from the shirt before and after. The 95/96 shirts were released to reactions of controversial to not impressed and they were pretty much perfection before long. That’s not my recollection of the 95 96 shirts they were loved from start. Helped that Ginola was modelling them mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped that Ginola was modelling them mind Yeah but Ginola wasn't modelling them when they were released. It was a team-photo call of the 94/95 team on a grey afternoon early May. Nobody liked the collar in my small circle at the time and the upon closer inspection beige one on the away shirt took some getting used to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramirez Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 It was fairly prestigious to have adidas then only Liverpool, arsenal and rangers seemed to have them in uk so quite exotic too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I do remember a lot not liking it at first but everyone loved it when it came out. Conversely I remember everyone loving the blue 96/97 kit when it was previewed in The Chronicle, then not liking it as much when it was released and the colour was different.

cubaricho Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 The fabric quality on the Castore top that I just got is absolute light years ahead of the older Adidas/Puma kits I have. It's actually comfortable which is a great start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Quality-wise, the best shirts I have by an absolute landslide are the Austria (home and away) and Italy home I have from 2021-ish. All Puma. Nothing comes close in terms of quality or fit tbh. I've got a few more Puma internationals favourited on Vinted; they're not even particularly interesting kits; I just know they'll be quality. Picked up a recent Umbro one last month - Fluminense. Notwithstanding the utter beauty of it, it's decent, better than what you'd get from DHGate and what-have-you, but sticks to the skin (rolls) that bit more than the Pumas. My brief venture into the world of Castore was areet; got the sponsorless shirt but sized up, which was unnecessary, so sold it on. But seemed decent aye.
