Izakaya Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Probably the last time we have Sela as a main sponsor too. I like it. I've always preferred more white than black on the kits anyway. It would have looked class with the pink accents the new Juve kit has, but 99% would hate that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Adidas have done a good job on recent Juventus jerseys. I con't care for our current home kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 The fading reminds me of the 12/13 barca kit. Don't love it but it's better than what we've seen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Not necessarily against the nod to the tartan but don’t at all see what the fading is about - why try to make it look washed out? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it. I've no beef with them doing something inventive with the stripes but what exactly is that supposed to be? It looks like the Breaking Bad intro with the smoke coming across from the right. Dunno. It's okay, hopefully very unpolished. The template isn't visible so you'd expect so. Mismatched stripes are very weird. 2 hours ago, Jordan said: If it’s got a plain back, it can get to fuck.

54 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Is it me or does that kit feel like the sort of kit an "elite" team would have? It's doesn't feel cheap and tacky like the kits we had under Puma. Like that feels like it could easily be a Juve, Barca or Inter kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I'm 100% against any alteration to the stripes, like the shite puma done over the years, spikes, blue lines etc just so tacky and small time, but this is class it just has that aura about it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fak Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 It really needs a third colour to elevate it. Or something to spruce the collar up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry 209 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 If I was in marketing at adidas I'd leak a few different samples early on in the year and gauge opinion. Then press the trigger on the one that gets the best reaction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

midds Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 If that's the shirt then I'm a fan. I can understand the hate but I've mentioned before that there's only so much you can do with black and white stripes, they have to come up with ways to mix it up a little and the variable gradation of the stripes makes it different to every other Newcastle home kit. It would look even better if the stripes were on the back too but that's a battle we're not winning unfortunately. At some point they need to mix it up or we just kit every year with virtually any significant differences. Damned if they do, damned if they don't etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still stand by my comments that it needs another colour and maybe some finishing touches on the collar and/or sleeves, but I’m starting to soften on my rotten comment. It is growing on me. a little.

I'm sure the diagonal fade will line up properly on the real thing. It's great in my opinion. They are only repeating the same source but it suggests there might be something in it. I think the shirt looks very professional and wouldn't be surprised if it's the actual shirt, or a close to final version. Personally I quite like it and I've not liked the last few. The fade is well done and if they were going to mess around with it to bring something new then that's as inobtrusive as anything in my opinion. I like the stripe width too - as others have said a striped back would be great although doubtful we'll get it. In fact, they probably could get away with it with this shirt if the back stripes were heavily faded. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
