Nasty clashing blues. What on earth drove them to this?

To make it a bit harder for those cheeky chaps in the Far East to make fake kits to sell on the cheap. Anyone who has been to Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, etc will know the scale if the problem. I think the shoulders look lighter blue but actually it's a mix of fine blue and white which from a distance looks light blue. It's this lighter blue section that will be harder to copy.

Love it.

But then, I am young, cool and TRENDY so I wouldn't expect all the OLDIES to understand.

They aren't clashing ... just different shade of the same colour.

Hmmmm, If there was a one or two blue hoops at the top of the socks I think it would work better. In fact why not blue and white hooped socks? That would be cool, like these https://www.fruugo.co.uk/stanno-ori...SfSMDdejGX1V-VppgHpQEXJZpfJlT2_WOkaArpb8P8HAQ

or these

The socks only, call off the lynch mob please! The top is still stripes. Hooped socks are cool IMHO.

100% Those two on the links are pure sock pornography! Drool.

With the way Nike have been doing their sock colours recently, we're lucky they aren't ****ing red

Is it really that important whether we wear blue and white hooped socks, or just plain white?

Frankly if it meant winning football matches I'd be happy for the players to wear no socks at all.

My overall opinion? Could be worse.

Are you aware you can put this in your signature rather than adding it to the end of every post you make?

Same here.
Why do BHA make such difficult work of producing a decent looking top.

Can't believe we got this far without a 'Dirk Lehmann wears white socks' comment.

It is the same colour, just the arms are pin striped. Makes no odds with how it looks I know, but maybe that will ease your mental wellbeing.

Tottenham's new kit is also by Nike so we're not the only ones. Theirs is quite good, actually.
