2017/18 new kit thread

Our current shirt but with a proper break in the stripes for a non ironed on logo. That would do me.

Do like the new retro looking Liverpool shirt. New Balance are from Brighton (Boston)

Exactly.

As I remember it, the ONLY reason we left the stripes in 1979 was for the British Caledonian sponsorship. It was felt at the time that sponsorship wouldn't be clear enough on a striped shirt, so to add the sponsor we had to lose the stripes. Once we realised that this was nonsense and other teams carried sponsorship perfectly well on a striped shirt, the pressure began to return to stripes.

Absolutely no reason to go away from them now.

Rumored to be the new Liverpool away kit

From looking at the home kit, I honestly thought they were heading towards marking their 125th anniversary with kits that gave a serious nod to the greatest era in their history, and thought the away kit would closely resemble this ....

They had a very similar away kit in the Spice Boys era, didn't they?

That is, to me, bloody awful.

Like the Liverpool home kit though, which makes me feel deeply unclean to admit.

I concur.

For us, I hope we have a collar. Do like a proper collar, me.

Well we then had to get through the Phoenix Breweries years, and a season with NOBO before it finally happened!

That's AWFUL.

What is it with using shitty colours like turquoise and pale magenta or whatever.

This is football, not something out of Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen's design guide.

Sake.

Love the new Liverpool shirt. Wouldn't object to us taking on New Balance as kit manufacturers when the Nike deal expires.

I actually like it. They are a Scottish club, so why not? No Englishman should ever wear tartan though, and most definately not a kilt!

So Liverpool retro kit but not retro priced ?

Retro is very much 'in', so is bound to be more expensive.

It seems to be a remake of their 1996 era kit - worn in the FA Cup Final that year

Really like that Liverpool shirt. Make it blue with maybe some pinstripes and we're talking.

That's basically what the Massive did, which is why whenever I watch them play I think I'm watching Ipswich Town. Blue and white stripes please!

We'll be playing against the team wearing that next season. Twice. *pinches self*

I think seeing our fixture list for the first time is going to make me SLIGHTLY shit myself.

Part of the reason why the Errea / Brighton & Hove Jobs kit is my favourite. Lovely collar. Proper stripes. Great kit.

Mellotron · Apr 28, 2017

Be nice to be the only team in the division wearing Blue and White stripes, as long as Hudds, Reading (hoops), or Sheff Wed don't make it up I suppose. Another reason to want Fulham.

dolphins · Apr 28, 2017

I did find that the Nike kit material was a lot nicer (in my view) than the Errea one. More breathable when warm, etc.. As you say though, decent collar!

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
