TK-421 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Great watch that video, talking with Steve Watson and Lee Clark, and enjoy watching these kit videos Buglass has done. Agree with comments above. Home one is ok, but few little things I'd change (no white name panel, stripes on back down to the hem, no need for lower white panel too). But the away and third kits. The away kits, I'd have the white stripes fully down the sleeve, not just on the shoulder though, but that was the only quibble with that one. But that 3rd kit with the trefoil and the tape down the sleeve is just Love the idea of using the different crests on the differetn shirts too. As nice as this was, and I'd love Adidas to take some ideas from it, I suspect the new kits will be all but designed already. But would love to see some NUFC/Adidas leisurewear with the trefoil on though. Edited October 27, 2023 by TK-421 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home is a write-off Away needs thicker hoops and the trefoil Lose the gradient on the third I'd actively encourage the trefoil down the sleeves Bukta-style on next season's home shirt.

Couldn't decide if I wanted a player name, do the official store allow you to bring a kit in and have it personalised if it wasn't bought from them? Gonna try to get up for a home game soon, ideally the Milan game if I'm lucky in the ballot yeah, you can take them in for personalisation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Enjoyed The Kit Breakdown's vid; it's a really good channel and I tend to agree with Craig on just about everything; stuff like too many shirts being released and too much stuff that's just a copy of something prior. Will admit I fast-forwarded through a good chunk of him getting his hair cut, like. Nice to hear from Watson and Clarky but really it was just multiple versions of the same conversation. Nice to see wor @Heron n'all. Spoilers re designs in case anyone wants to watch it first. Spoiler It kinda surprised me that he went for the red and blue hoops on the away kit given his views about copies, but I suppose he was led by the research. And it's just a glorious, glorious kit so it's difficult not to be lured by its beauty, even if you're anti-copying, like I am. Weaving aspects of the city and Wor Flags into the hoops was a brilliant call. Bringing the NUF-C badge back feels like an open goal for Adidas too cos: A, it's retro and therefore desirable; and B, it's minimalist so suits graphic designers' agenda to dumb-down any and all iconography. I really liked the concept of blending the 80s away kits together - the yellow and green combined with the pinstripes of the silver one - but I didn't love the gradient effect. Trefoil down the sleeve tape a la Bukta was an inspired choice but, again, absolutely pie in the sky when you consider the minimalist approach to badges and logos now. Home one was areet; don't mind a central badge. Gold's fine but can very much live without the Wonga blue. Back was shit though.

54 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Its a shame the Premier League dictates what font has to be used on the back of the kits, as the one on the away shirt looks lovely. Not a fan of that home shirt though, the blue looks a bit shit, and I don't like the fact the stripes stop halfway down. I'm also not a fan of things being aligned centrally.

I thought the other two not so much, the home one was a massive swing and a miss. I'd love to know what software he's using there like, designing football kits is exactly the sort of thing I'd waste hours doing if I could Edited October 27, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanji Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Wonder if there is a chance our cup font next season could be the retro adidas one from 95-97? Would be class! Don’t care for any of his designs in the video but enjoy any bit of creative content on NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry 209 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I like that channel and the presenter, but his designs for the ultimate shirt are awful. The home one evokes memories of Shola in the Championship. A centrally placed badge is always going to be divisive and the rest just looks like templately adidas stuff. The away one is an inferior thowback and the third, whilst it has nice individual elements, is too busy. That badge is synonymous with mediocrity. I do approve of bringing back the NUFC badge on the away though - adidas use an alternative badge for this year's Man United 3rd shirt so its a possibility that could happen for us.

UEFA rules dont allow for any brand placement on the numbers so sadly that wont be possible. Would have been brilliant tho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been staunchly against a blank back but I think I feel the same about this as well. I think the patch here it actually lends itself to more traditional red numbered shirts, at least one back in the 70s/80s sticks in my mind watching old clips, where the red number was against a small white patch.
