Geordie Boyo Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 1 hour ago, Jack27 said: from a random Twitter account Hope it’s not it, but chances are it seems legit….after all the hype from the fella who participated in the design doesn’t look like anything special. i don’t know if the curves are just meant to be in reference to how it looks on a magpies wing….but just prefer black and white stripes and nothing else - plain black shorts and either plain black socks with or without white cuff.

ramirez Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Just seen there are no retro shirts on the official store now. Hoping this paves the way for a few official adidas ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegans Export Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 My two rules; 1. Never judge a strip until I've seen it "on" 2. A kit always gets viewed better or worse depending on how we play in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 (edited) It looks like the 01-03 home shirt. Seemed to be reasonably accepted to liked at the time and in retrospect. Being shit hot (to Keegans Export 2nd point) while we had it seemed to cover for me that to me it was a distinct step down from the shirt before and after. The 95/96 shirts were released to reactions of controversial to not impressed and they were pretty much perfection before long. Expected a lot better than this at this point though.

Kid Icarus Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 They're not as good as they were about 10 or so years ago, but I think I've decided the best hands we could be in design wise would be Umbro. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helped that Ginola was modelling them mind Yeah but Ginola wasn't modelling them when they were released. It was a team-photo call of the 94/95 team on a grey afternoon early May. Nobody liked the collar in my small circle at the time and the upon closer inspection beige one on the away shirt took some getting used to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 I do remember a lot not liking it at first but everyone loved it when it came out. Conversely I remember everyone loving the blue 96/97 kit when it was previewed in The Chronicle, then not liking it as much when it was released and the colour was different.
