timnufc22 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I like red numbers on a white patch/square if the kit is quite minimalistic, which it what it was at times in 70s/80s. But with other bright colours on the sleeves through noon, the PL logo and a third colour to the strip, the bright colour of red also thrown into the mix can then feel too much imo. I think if there's no third colour to the kit then fine, otherwise I think black or white numbers are best, which are nostalgia for me tbf. White numbers on stripes would be absolutely readable and fine but if adidas go for the money making scheme of a patch to encourage us to get names and numbers then that's a shame, but not the end of the world if done with a bit of subtly. Personally I'd have no issue if they did the 98' shield every time, think its a good compromise. I hope the adidas shoulder stripes are white (or black) - the adidas logo and those stripes combined with our black and white stripes are just the perfect combo. If the adidas shoulder stripes are grey it may look ok but it'd be a missed opportunity. Don't mind grey, blue or gold as a third colour for trims etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufcjb Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) The things that makes that away kit a bit bland is that it is using white instead of off-white/cream, the collar isn't a grandad styled or atleast in white plus there's no 3 stripes going down the sleeves. I can just accept Sela instead of the Brownn Ale, that was never getting replicated but the others were within the power of adidas to provide but they have decided not to.

Groundhog63 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) See that technology used in the RNIB shirts? Need to bung a bit of that in NUFC branded boxer shorts. Every time we score you get a vibration in the ball bag. I mean it happens anyway but, at my age, it'll help 😉 Edited April 16 by Groundhog63 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagMal Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I would love to go back to the 80's club badge, it is so much better than the current one. I am probably a bit biased as it was on my first shirt as a kid, also bring back the silver away kit!. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I prefer the one before that to be honest. I’m not keen on the 70’s style bubble writing, or with the C being upside down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Not a fan of our 70s or 80s badges. I don't want to change our current one, but if we did I think I'd rather go for something completely different. Not optimistic about the result, mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Unlike many clubs, our alt badges are few and far between and I think they look pretty cool in the grand scheme. Would love to see the club embrace them and use them on away kits or other merch to get some usage out of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely it’s bad look for anyone who comes across us, and not the magpie itself? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
