Geordie Boyo Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I mean, it’s not bad - similar look to the one when Ba & Cisse played, but plain black & white stripes without any patching - especially the big patch on the back, would have been perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange looking at Venison and Hottiger in the away kit as they were sold before the start of the season so never actually wore it competively.

Mazzy Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 It's alright, pretty much what I expected. It's not the home kit (or any of the kits) that I was actually excited about when we got Adidas back, it's all the other clothing they do so much better than Castore.

Kid Icarus Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 It's unbelievably boring like Like offensively so. Castore's kits piss all over it tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 44 minutes ago, gdm said: I’ve said it before Adidas are vastly overrated by our support. 1995 & 1999 the only two really good shirts adidas gave us I think this is fair. They bring out some absolute stunning ones, but a lot are quite forgettable, especially towards the end of their time here the last time. As others have said though, I guess it’s their quality standards, their distribution network, and their offering outside of shirts. If they do a remake of the classics, then again that will make many fans very happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sima Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Aye, even the 4 mishap was better than this as a home shirt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Short and Curlies Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Let’s be honest here. If we challenge for the league or wear that top in a cup final it’s going to be looked back on as a great kit. if we finish 10th it’s going to be the worst kit ever Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Looks inoffensive and a bit "Meh", not bad, not horrendous. I actually really like this years kit with the white on the back, that's been worn in the Champions League, think I prefer it to the stripes on the back tbh.

The kit looks pretty drab and and uninspiring. There are so many more exciting designs for a stripped kit. Its a play on the 2001 & 2002 kit with very little difference.

They've played it safe and the season we have will dictate as to how it's remembered. Nothing wrong with it but nothing spectacular Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I'm convinced that kit designers are just given a template and their job is to do what they can with it and reverse engineer their 'inspiration' for why it looks like shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegans Export Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I quite like a fairly straightforward design tbf. And as someone who is colourblind and struggles with black/red the white patch is something I'm very much in favour of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unpopular opinion it seems, but I agree with this. Wearing it on Saturday reminded me that I prefer it. The new kit looks really bland. 5/10. Not horrendous or anything. But nothing particularly interesting about it, either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 There's absolutely no excuse not to have stripes on the back, like. It's a purely commercial choice as it encourages consumers to pay extra for names and numbers. Makes for an easier paint job on Subbuteo figures mind.
