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
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.
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.
Best kits since the addidias ones
So @VinVega won, with this post on March 4th
Yeah, the paneling isn't on the button but the overall design is sound.
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.
Finally a clean simple kit
Puma and UA always included some stupid detail.
Got red on it, mate.Loved this puma shirt to be honest, pretty simple and classy, reminds me of Modders, Rafa and Bale , think we thumped Liverpool 4-0 wearing this one.
Made out of kitchen roll?
