Away Kit

You are going to be very disappointed.

 

My go....

 

Home: predominently red with white trimmings

 

Away: Black with red sash

 

3rd: Yellow and Blue (a la current away kit)

 

Am I going to be more or less disappointed than Windmill?

 

Cheers :-)

I may be a traditionalist but for me our 2nd kit should always be yellow. Its part of our history, 1976, turning cardiff yellow in 2003. If they want to have a 3rd kit and mess around with that then fine..

 

Same with England, 2nd kit must be red.

Yep, agreed. I even found the white socks in our away kit this year to be a monstrosity, and a rather cheap looking Brazil rip off.

 

Yellow shirt, blue shorts, yellow socks please.

I haven't heard anything of the sort, though I'm speculating that this could happen based on an assumption that we'll have a white away kit - most Umbro teams only have 2 shirts and some pull on a previous away kit if it's needed. Whatever happens, it has to be registered with the Premier League in advance and worn in a minimum of 6 matches. A third kit used to be compulsory when we were up there before, but it clearly isn't any more, as Norwich have only worn two kits all season and so have Swansea.

 

The non-reduction of kit prices is a red herring, nothing was reduced by more than 25% last year and they didn't reduce the home kit at all (the sponsorless black shirt only went down to £30) and this season's away shorts have an equally uninspiring 25% off, making them a still-non-bargain £16ish, with the rest of the kit full price. This is no different to last season, and we didn't wear either of last season's kits again.

 

When the kit was 1st released they club stated that whilst we'd have 2 new kits for 12/13 the current 2nd kit would become our 3rd kit.

 

Just because you can't remember doesn't make any less accurate.

I quite like the Bilbao away kit they wore in the Europa League Final.

That's one of my favourite kits ever and I was disappointed we didn't end up with a Saints version of it - but it's a year old template now, and we won't be offered it.

That is completely untrue, but nice try. Here are ALL of the announcements of the new kits last season :

The last away article does say "this year's" though.

 

FWIW last season the home kit presale (blind) was on 14 July, the unveil was 20 July at Liebherr Cup, the on sale date was 21 July.

Away kit unveil was 20 July at Liebherr Cup, pre-order on 27 July and available for sale on 4 August.

Less, though I have no idea what's happening with the current or future aways.

Absolutely f**king hideous.

 

This seasons away kit has grown and grown on me. Big fan of it, would like it very much if VFTTs post about it shifting to 3rd kit is true.

 

If we have red/white home and yellow/blue 3rd, the away kit is going to be some sort of black kit, I reckon.
