Sir John was a dreamer and big thinker though in comparison to Shep, right? Also wasn’t Freddie Fletcher leaving also a big miss for us? I recall him actually being the driving force on the business end

 

 

 

Yes, very much so. @Thomson Mousepretty much sums it up. Once John Hall withdrew from things, in retrospect, we were just freewheeling and disaster was simply a matter of time. We were run like a failing family carnival. Just gradual decline with occasional bursts of misplaced effort while the world moved on.

If they do long sleeve shirts it’s a win, regardless, for me.

I thought these were a thing of the past for all clubs but just had a look and Adidas sell Man Utd shirts in long sleeves. Just hope we don't get designs as bad as that Man Utd away kit!

Depends on who’s making it albeit they’re not widely available IIRC. Just had a look and they do long sleeve for the new Arsenal, Man United and Italy so you’d hope they will do. 
 

It’ll be a visit to Davey Gate’s sports emporium again if they don’t.

Only the elite teams get a long sleeved version. Teams like Ajax and Benfica who are not elite, do not get a long sleeved version.

Random, but interesting - Umbro (when they went all "tailored by Umbro") didn't like how some players wore long sleeves and some wore base layers and the kit would look different between those players....so for Man CIty's away kit they did the below. Where they basically made the long sleeve kit look like the same as the base layer kit. Very odd/unique/cool IDK.  For us, I'd like long sleeves but would like for the base layer to not look vastly different from someone wearing long sleeves!

Has anybody ever had trouble purchasing personalized kits. When the club announced they would be selling the Pro Kits the same as the players wear a couple of weeks ago I ordered the home kit and 3rd kit. I received them last night to find they didn't add the name or numbers of the players. I received the credit for the fees. However that's not point. Sorry for the long text.

Just thought, they'll need to be taking down those Castore logos from the Gallowgate. For those pining for the old lettering on the East Stand, doing it to coincide with the Adidas return seems the ideal opportunity. Someone should get into the club's ear...

Bar the odd stinking player still hanging around, this is the only visible reminder of that god forsaken era now. Wish they’d get rid of it.

It's true that a lot of people are misty eyes about adidas. As has been said, a lot of fond memories with the early home kits but towards the end, we just had standard templates with different colours. Quality of material was very good but these kits below could have been for any team:

Not really colours you'd associate with NUFC except maybe silver. Very surprised adidas never did a yellow and green.

 

And this one is one of the worst home kits, even ignoring the fact it was an awful season.

Adidas don't tend to have full stripes on the back either but yes a huge uplift on Castore and it's exciting to see what they will come up with

Is there a chance that Adidas will be stocking the club shop with retro kits on September the 1st? Would be nice.

 

I wouldn't get your hopes up! we should have low expectations (:lol:) to keep ourselves from getting hurt

But all the others are quite bad actually.

 

To be fair almost all of the Castore kits have been good disigned, even though the quality has been not so good.
