Did I imagine it or did you use to have the sash kit as your home kit in the seventies?

We did . When we were referred to as "the team of the eighties" :)

The glory days, losing 9-0 to Liverpool. Also, sorry, but that was a different team. You’re a CPFC2010 supporter, no?

For a company that specialises in designing sports wear, Nike really do make shithouse football shirts. Every single time.

Firms like Puma, Kappa and Adidas seem to 'get it' and on the whole produce stylish kits with a nod to the respective club's heritage. Of course, they have all been responsible for the odd shocker, but Nike, on the other hand, seemingly couldn't give a toss and lazily churn out piss-poor tat year after year after year. Surely the law of averages dictates they have to produce a decent shirt just once?

Having Nike design your club's kit is like walking into your favourite boozer to find it's been refitted as a theme pub, and all the stuff that made it a proper pub has been chucked in the skip and replaced with dusty tennis racquets and old bicycles fixed to the walls.

I can't wait till our deal with Nike expires and we get a proper strip that gives us a bit of club back.

I find Nike as a whole, make pretty ugly sportswear. This seems to be true with most American companies when it comes to design, there's very little style and subtlety. I mean just look at their cars, all of them are hideous.

That's really nice, except that the club crest looks a bit odd - like it's been ironed on?

Players kits often have heat pressed (ironed on) team badges these days, so as not to irritate the poor loves nipples during the game. Not ours at the moment though, we still have woven badges stitched on.

am I the only one who really dislikes "new kit" season. I see it as nothing more than a brazen attempt to get every penny out of supporters. Its one thing to update occasionally but this constant new kit every year, with second, third and "alternative" kits along with training kit is just money grabbing. The cost is extortionate and the "pester power" of kids must make it very hard for anyone with young kids on a low budget. What was wrong with having the basic team kit worn for all games (home and away) unless there was a clash with the home team when an alternative kit was used?
Yes you are. You don't have to buy it.
