I don't buy the whole unique kits for everyone would cost the provider a fortune argument.

1. This is Nike. This stuff is already made dirt cheep to begin with.
2. It doesn't take that much effort and doesn't need to be a big divert from the overall template.. Just make the shoulders/sleeves navy blue and our kit would stand out more.

That the biggest/second biggest athletic wear producer on the planet doesn't want to put more effort into a kit made as part of a big, lucrative sponsorship agreement is just lazy


You need to watch the dulcet tones of Tony Hurst on "How It's Made"


Things like this are mass produced in high volumes. The manufacturer needs to first design it. There's a cost there. It's not just how it looks, it's the fit, material, technology and...
Then they have to make machines that can actually manufacture the fabric in the design they came up with, aaaaand

Then they need to figure out how to make them blue or white or red or green Etc.

Just be safe in the knowledge no one else will have our colours with our badge and our sponsor.
There you go, totally, 100% unique.

And all those savings, as has repeatedly been said, gets passed on to us in the deal.

Why whinge??

Yet if the designers get busy, then people on here say, can't we just have a plain and simple kit, please? No win situation really.

even if we had a different design for our home shirt for each league game, guarantee there would be plenty that liked none of them

The kits look ok, the away seems more suited to the look than the home kit. I will wait till the third kit comes out before I decide if I'm getting one.

On the badge, is that a one off or is it a new badge design going forwards?

The AIA seems excessively big in this pic; gotta be cheap imitation I hope?
The position of it just don't seem right - it's below your breast...

One thing that I increasingly struggle to understand...we have the AIA logo, and it's red - it annoys me, but I at least understand the logic; it's their logo, their brand, they want it exactly as it would be seen elsewhere. But then, on the away kits, it's never red. So why does it have to be red on the home kit? Every kit we've had in the AIA era would look a million times better if the logo was navy blue - and not just because it's the colour of the enemy, it just doesn't go with the rest of the kit. Maybe that's the answer to my question - they make it look as garish and ugly as possible, ensuring more eyes on it.

As you say, it stands out more. Red on navy wouldn't work.

It does completely ruin the shirt. Ugly font and a horrible combination, regardless of its association with the gooners.

Can't help feeling these leaked shirts - which are likely close to the real thing - lack some navy trim. Perhaps on the shoulders to define the top of the shirt, or at the front of the neck, or bottom of the sleeves too maybe.

I hope the home has Navy shorts and personally I prefer Navy socks too.

I guess that would then mean having white shorts with the away kit for differentiation, when I think that would look smart all Navy.

I always think one of the two away kits should be all yellow, but I guess you can't have everything.

So @VinVega won, with this post on March 4th (y)

Yeah, the paneling isn't on the button but the overall design is sound.

Not really. That's totally different other than the logos on it. We all knew the Nike template for THIS season would be used (and the Man City one was the most accurate indicator as it was first announced.)

I think you'll find the most recent photos are the actual kit.

Well they're plain and a bit boring as predicted with Nike but they're playing it safe with the first ones which is understandable, and the away shirt is a gorgeous blue colour, probably buy that one. Home could do with some more navy trim and I just don't understand the whole shield on the badge thing, looks like the opposite of what we were trying to achieve with the sleek new logo of the past few years.

Not sure why the third kit is purple - not sufficiently different to the away kit for me, yellow would've made more sense in terms of avoiding clashes.

I just hope the fit is good. I cannot stand baggy poorly-fitted football shirts. The most annoying thing is the replica is never the same as the proper kit one as they know they have to cater to fans who aren't exactly built like top footballers. But I wish they'd have a fitted version, or have the small and medium sizes fitted, if not the larger ones.
