WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Unless it was pre-planned, I honestly find it baffling that somehow Castore managed to design three kits - which the club then signed off - without thinking where a clash might occur.

Don't like that shirt btw. Looks like the front of a uni prospectus. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 A very strange case of it actually looking much better with the sponsor on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it's particularly an issue, all three kits are different and distinctive from one another. I'd say the away kit would've been fine as its dark enough blue to be different to Brightons. Perhaps this was always going to be the plan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big River Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 how come Brighton couldn't just wear their away kit? it's red/orange. top banter from Castore again though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Is it me being a huge pedant or does that still clash? Brighton play in blue and white stripes and all of our kits clash with theirs, so we'll bring out a one off kit in light blue with dark blue trim.

Kanj Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Yeah I'm so confused as to whart shorts and socks we will wear now. Surely the one-off kit should basically just be an all green, or all orange, or all black kit (FFS, just a plain black shirt with castore logo on it and our sponsors could do the trick!)

Would it not be the PL who would sign any kits off, and state whether they deem them to clash? That said, surely the 'alternative' (Saudi) kit is differnt enough not to clash with Brightons Blue & White stripes? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its really poor to be honest. The whole point of the 3rd kit is because of home & away clashes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The easiest thing to do is just use the warm up tops and fire sponsor on it which is what they are doing. No point being out a whole new kit. I assume we will black home shorts with it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Mad thought: Would there have been owt to stop us having all outfield players wear the green, orange or yellow keeper kit (it's not the 90s, they're basically a standard shirt anyway) and putting Pope in an outfield kit or another keeper kit?

STM Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 This thread of all threads perplexes me the most. I don't think I've seen one kit that is unanimously liked on here. It's almost as if people have different tastes. Personally, I love the sentiment, I like the shirt and I reckon other fans will think it looks decent.

It's a good option. Last year, the Arsenal goalkeepers wore the yellow outfield shirt a few times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it was planned that way, as someone pointed out the away is in the colours of Saudi air (?) and the 3rd is in colours of Saudi national team. I just think it’s really badly thought out rather than..let’s make sure all 3 of our kits clash with Brighton so we can sell a few more of those warm up shirts Edited August 9, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 How unlucky for Castore that their failure to design a set of strips for the season has opened the door for a one-off strip, which they will now, due to public demand, have to release.

I take it the Ladies team having to wear training gear for a pre-season match was intentional too? they're incompetent, man. people need to stop making excuses for them.

It’s already being released as a warm up top. It literally says it in the article. This isn’t some clever ploy by castore it’s more likely stupidity & bad planning that’s causing this to happen Edited August 9, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
