trousers Posted 30 December, 2020 Share Posted 30 December, 2020 (edited) So, if it's a thinner stripe version of the kit worn in last league game at the Dell, are we looking at something resembling our 03/04 European football kit...?

CB Fry Posted 30 December, 2020 Share Posted 30 December, 2020 Everyone seems to be describing a red and white striped shirt which being we are currently in a non-stripe season seems pretty obvious to me and something anyone, ITK or not, could predict. I'd love it if we gave UA the elbow for next season and replaced with Hummel, that's the only info I'm interested in (it would open up a lovely retro kit for 22-23 anyway).

Well when you are trying to come up with something different every season as it is now you have to look out for whatever comes your way and 20 years since leaving The Dell is it this time around I suppose.

It's disappointing we didn't commemorate 120 years since our first FA Cup final last season. Particularly as the team that beat us went out of business the same season. Perhaps a we could have worn half and half shirts with "Burying the past" t-shirts during the warm ups to show support for Burys plight.

Always makes me wonder why we don't make our kits in house. You'd sell a lot more with a fan designed, fan voted shirt and keep all the profits instead of a portion going to the manufacturer. Depends how much they pay us to make our kits I suppose. Have to say not much of a fan of that one though, in the age of half and half shirts it looks a little too much like one of them.

Badger Posted 8 January, 2021 Share Posted 8 January, 2021 6 hours ago, trousers said: Why are 'concept kits' always more appealing than the real thing...? Agree that season after season the mock ups on here and the internet are usually superior to the one eventually served up by UA and the club. Left wondering what sort of retard is charged with designing and selecting the kits. Wasn't a great fan of the Danish Pyjama kit above at the time, from a distance on the terraces at The Dell it often appeared we wewre wearing red and pink halves. Would be improved without the stripes on the white half in my view. Anyway, Keegan era again for me given the choice (which we won't be of course).

alehouseboys Posted 9 January, 2021 Share Posted 9 January, 2021 Not a fan of the 'Danish' Hummel shirt myself, as others have said, looked half red/half pink from a distance. They also gave us a couple of horrible blue away shirts but the striped one was OK. Next season's kit was signed off a while ago so should soon find out. But I'm converted, would happily stick with the sash now (red/white sash, white/red sash), alternated with the 'Keegan' style one season, stripes the next. I say this as a watcher rather than a wearer so feel free to ignore me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edprice1984 Posted 10 January, 2021 Share Posted 10 January, 2021 I have said since the 125 year Sash shirt that the club should look to retain this going forward. The advantage the club has now is that it has 40 years of different styles and options to use when designing kit. Some good, some bad. I judge each kit on its individual merit. If I don’t like it, I don’t buy it. You will always struggle to please everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Keef Posted 11 January, 2021 Share Posted 11 January, 2021 Of course stripes will make a come-back at some point, but personally I really like the sash. It set's us apart. Is there any of the other 91 league clubs with a sash? Someone on here will know. And if (OK it's still a big if) we were to get into Europe wearing the sash......or dare I say, even better than that (top 4 ?!!!!!).......how about a bespoke sash European kit for European ties only? More for the poor fans to buy of course but a great souvenir for those who can afford/want it and possibly extra revenue for the club during challenging times. Just a thought.....
