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. I prefer the 96/7 away kit to the 95/6 one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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.

PRL Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 There looks to be a faded grey trim on the side I can just about see on the photo, but could be a lighting trick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PRL Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Actually that doesn’t match what I’m looking at. The stripes on both sides are straight stripes, not those horrible arched things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kit always gets viewed better or worse depending on how we play in it 01/02 - 02/03 kit was utter shite 6 hours ago, Jonas said: It looks like the 01-03 home shirt. Seemed to be reasonably accepted to liked at the time and in retrospect. 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. Expected a lot better than this at this point though. Not my recollection tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Not sure why anyone is shocked (if the kit is real). adidas's designs were almost all either mediocre or utter shite previously. I suppose how much they're paying is the important bit - but I wouldn't expect real quality or effort from them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
