Adidas could have gone with the 09/10 template, perfect example of the right balance of stripes. I just don't like it when kits (especially home) drift away from traditional styles. Puma once did something weird with the stripes, 12/13 home, still haunts me now, daft little distorted stripes. Yeah, that was a disgrace. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to get the pro home one with no sponsor on but the away shirt has been sold out for a while, unless I missed it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as anyone associated with Nike. No idea why people assumed we’d be getting something completely bespoke tbh. Seems a massive misunderstanding of what ‘elite club status’ means, which is that we’ll get drip fed a load of Originals-style branded merch for people to waste their hard earned cash on and the final kit itself will likely be of a marginally better quality than non-elite clubs. For what it’s worth I think the shirt looks fine. Prefer it if we didn’t have a back panel but that’s the only bit I really feel in any way strongly about. People always get wound up about minor detailing and it’s basically forgotten about once the kit is out, being worn and we’re winning games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Its been a debate since the 97-98 shield incarnation. Probably raised its head in the 80s too. What goes around comes around etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be fine when we hoist the f.a cup in it next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 If we go a bit daring for once and get rid of all the black stripes then the white patch on the back wouldn't be as noticeable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol every jersey they did from 2011-16 had something wrong with the stripes, between spikes, blue lines and random Vs lol.. but agree with you with Adidas, thought for their 1st offering back with us, they would've done something a bit more traditional, because there 1st jerseys for arsenal, man utd and celtic where all very classic/simple designs, then the 2nd and 3rd seasons they went a bit mad with graphics etc Edited May 21 by GavMcEl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you've pointed it out though, they did make some howlers. Credit to Puma for the 2017 third Black kit, one of my favourites, and they got the striped 18-19 away nearly as good as adidas original 95-96 away. Personal favorite outside Adidas's 95-96 legendary kits, was this Fortunate to own one, hopefully Adidas recreate this beauty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
