I like both better than last seasons. The away kit last year, was the Albion kit I’ve most disliked ever. It’s the weird khaki/snot coloured sleeves.

I’ve seen loads of people out and about in the green away kit. Loads. Or maybe it just stands out more due to its greenness.

Written by a child I guess. There are few shirts on there I really like and certainly only 1 I would wear in public and there really is something about the palace shirt that makes me sick. perhaps is just a pavlovian response.

Yeah, but colour palette.

The whole kit thing pisses me off without fail every year. And it pisses me off that it pisses me off, because it really shouldn't. How can something that should be so simple end up as such a cluster**** season after season?

What we need for our home kit is THIS (admittedly with a more modern collar). And the back should look like THIS (with the panel starting slightly higher to incorporate the player's name). And that is IT. No stupid design features or gimmicks. Just THIS. Piss easy.

Amended accordingly.

Apart from the literally tens, if not hundreds of thousands of people over the age of 14 who will be wearing their clubs shirts all over the country. :shrug:

Is that the green one? I never buy replica shirts but I'm tempted to get that. I say 'tempted' but I'm guessing the price will put me off.

Yes, the green one mate. I could understand the 'goalkeeper' jibe if most goalies actually still played in green shirts, but when was that last actually the case? Decades ago I'd wager.

I don't see a lot wrong with the home kit tbh. Its blue and white stripes, thye're never going to re-invent the wheel, unless you're going to go doing something REALLY different and outlandish like that Argentina kit we had at Withdean (which was bloody awful IMO). The sponsors aren't iron-on, and having seen it up close and handled the goods it seems well enough made. So its a template and not "bespoke" - so what ? Can't say I'll lose any sleep over it. As long as we're in the stripes, and its the proper blue and white with no messing around with faded bits and shit, I've got no beef.

I guess I'm not the target audience though. Must be getting old.

I reckon it's white and blue, not blue and white, broader stripes (which I have always said). Controversial, but ordinary. Number 2 bus is still mostly blue.

I thought we might go for a very blue home kit and white mostly for away ???

Absolutely agree. That Bukta kit was lovely, drop the weird sleeves, but the main body should be those blue and white stripes on both sides. I've not bought a kit since the opening of the Amex, but would buy this straight away.

Presumably not the same sandpaper type material as the original though!

...of kits. Apparently. Barbs will be FUMING:

"They’ve just gone with the generic template for Nike really and just added the crest and sponsor. I also think their away kit looks like a goalkeeper kit.
I don’t think you’d see anyone wearing that out. Well, I’d hope not anyway.
Style: 3/10. Originality: 2.5/10. Wearability: 2.5/10 - Total: 8 out of 30"

Keeping with the spirit of a couple of other recent threads and the posts in them.... our away kit is RUBBISH. It has a GIRL in it. Whatever next? :eek::shrug:

I have a couple of those, and yes, very harsh. Recently however I acquired a 1977 Matchworn shirt from an ex players family, it’s the same style but the fabric is quite different, soft and stretchy in fact.

I often feel in the minority when it comes to our kits. I tend to like the less popular ones, and dislike the popular ones. It's all subjective really, isn't it, but the fact they listed Palace so high and Brighton bottom has me suspicious about the impartiality of the author.

Quite. Particularly when you look at the abysmal effort Palace are wearing at home this season.

I was a bit meh when I first saw their kit reveal. Fast forward to seeing their new home shirt being worn in matches and its true ugliness really shines through. You can bang on about templates all you like, but when you get some semi-bespoke piece of crap like their red and blue effort with the horrendously ugly fade effect on the bottom half, frankly we have lucked out by comparison.

Spot on.
Straight off the Nike template shelf. No thought or originality went into the design this season.
The only nice bit about the shirt -The inscription of Sussex by the Sea...shame its inscribed on the inside of the shirt!
I agree. Leeds have Marching on Together on theirs but on the outside [emoji848]
