Have the club actually given us a launch date for the new kits yet?

Why are we always the last club to release them ?
Club have said nothing but Alasdair said July 18th in one of his daily updates last week, and the Aussie guy in Sydney mentioned how the store said that he can't buy them until July 18th.

Thanks for the info ?

I don’t understand why we seem to be the last PL club to release new kits every summer.

I’m one who actually prefers a touch of creative design to the home shirt, so all the plain white ones which have been leaked so far seem very dull to me ☹️ Not been a fan of any of our Nike home kits so far (humbug...)

There’s only two types of home shirts acceptable.

A plain one - straight after we announce we have included some kind unique creative touch to the shirt.

A creative one - whenever we release a plain shirt.

Whatever the shirt looks like, it’ll be gone before you know it, and with this long contract with Nike there’s plenty of opportunity to have a wide choice.

I do like that away shirt, home one is a bit plain (I understand a lot of people like that tho), but yeah. I may get my boy the home kit, and me the away shirt, I still wear the old blue Kappa away one, love it!

Bit disappointed in our away and third shirts that's for sure, there are some quite nice nike shirts than incorporate a nice collar/cuff that give it a classic look (as shown below) and I was hoping at least one of our shirts would have that. I can't quite put my finger on it and it's not that they're not nice, but there's just something very 'basic' about the home and away shirts I find too. They'll probably look nice as kits, but as just shirts I'm not sure.

I SO agree with you about being disappointed regarding our away shirt particularly, and all of the kits you included as examples reinforce why that kit is so underwhelming. The kits above all have one thing in common: design-wise, they are stylistically uniform. What I mean by that is that each shirt has one overall theme. Our away kit- while not hideous or terrible or anything- has two themes: the top “pattern” look dropped onto the bottom “solid” look. The result is a shirt that doesn’t know what it wants to be. I would’ve preferred either the “pattern”-look to be covering the entire shirt or, conversely, for the whole shirt to just be a solid look (as with the bottom part). No in between/double-thingy going on; rather, just one “look.”

That’s the best way I can explain it.

Ugh. I hate purple and the warm up shirt is rank.

I miss Under Armour's training wear, I always bought some of theirs every season. Haven't wanted to buy any of Nike's.
Personally I'm a big fan of the training t-shirt but agree the warm up shirt is awful!

I'd like it if it was any other colour than purple. Everything purple looks shit on me (n)

Can I put in my bi-annual plea
for us to stop changing bloody kits.
Let's by public vote agree
on a kit and stick to it for say 100 years.
The only possible change
would be a logo on the back inside the collar of the year.

1) it would assist passing accuracy
as every player could easily identify his team-mates.

2) It would release fans and parents from a severe financial burden

3) The shirt should be part of our History and and Tradition
and should not keep bloody changing.
It's pure commercial exploitation.

4) My suggestion is: all white; blue shorts, white shirts; white shorts blue shirts

Cockerels and barely readable tiny corporate logos allowed. No red.

Are names compulsory? Only useful for commentators anyway.
Remember Danny Blanchflower's comment;
Duchess of Kent (at 1961 FA Cup Final): “Why do the other team have their names on their tracksuits and your's don’t?”
Blanchflower: “Ah well, ma’am, you see we all know each other.”

Proper blue mind, you not pale blue, lilac or mauve.

Call me a boring old out of touch whinging bastard if you like,


but call me.

Big fan of the drill tops. Cheeky bastards though with the replica and 'elite'. I really like the elite one but 90 quid? I know the club doesn't set the price but bloody hell.

I really like the drill tops and the training tshirt - ill be buying them i think over the actual kit if the previous kits are anything to go by.

Yes I will look like a quality street but fuck it.

how do people get paid to make decisions that allow our training shirts to look nicer/be more original than our actual playing kits?

£43 fucking quid for a kids warm up t-shirt! Are they fucking insane! I know we're trying to fund player purchases but seriously? The thing is hideous!
