STEVEADAMS Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 I don't buy the replica shirts, so I wondered what the manufactured (rather than design) quality was of the own brand shirts compared to the Umbro and now Adidas shirts? I think the last shirt I ever had was the 88-89 Hummel kit and they were great. At that time stitched in badges not ironed on versions were the order of the day. In my opinion the own brands shirts were rubbish, quality was crap, they looked tacky and the sizing was all over the show. There would be no marketing support, no brand connection and would be a huge fail, I for one will be disappointed if our club goes back to that after coming so far with everything. After not liking the new strip, I received one for Xmas and now like it a lot after wearing it. I live in hope of one day walking into adidas shops or the like and being able to buy and see our tops alongside the like of arsenal etc. COYS.

solentstars Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 (edited) Quality is down to who the club choose to supply the kits and some of their branded name kits ive seen over the years have been crap but most of the kits nowadays are made in the far east for the cheapest price to sell at silly inflammatory prices so it would make sense for the club to have the extra profit on club gear rather than pay the massive mark up they give to umbro.Nike etc. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk Edited 7 February, 2014 by solentstars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocksHeathRed Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 I was under the impression that Palace had produced their own kit this season, however its made by someone called Avec? They just choose not to have their logo on the home and away kits, which given the global nature of the league you would think that they would want some brand awareness! Have to say I do like this seasons home and away kits, even the keepers kit looks smart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovehunk Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 Uh god I'd f_ucking hate it if we went back to making our own kit, absolutely god-awful chinese sweat-shop quality garbage. Seriously mickey mouse in this day and age, are there any other PL or FL clubs that make their own kit anymore? Can't think of anyone off the top of my head. I'd accept anyone, Macron, Adidas, Nike, Umbro ANYONE but making our own kit again. Couldnt agree more!!!! Anyway NC has gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isla Wight Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 As an aside to this thread, I am thinking of buying an Adidas 'Stadium Jacket' from the shop.

Ta yes it is and warm and the zip can be undone from the bottom which helps you to have a pee without having to undo the zip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Patrón Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 Don't care as long as it's not some shiny sh#t next year so I can turn one into a vest for the gym, if the club could just go ahead and release a singlet version if not that would be super.

That is the most bizarre product review I've seen. What about if you need a poo, does it unzip at the back too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 7 February, 2014 Share Posted 7 February, 2014 That is the most bizarre product review I've seen. What about if you need a poo, does it unzip at the back too? Doesn't need to, it keeps you warm on a cold winter day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
