Comes to something when some bods on the internet, with photoshop and ten minutes on their hands, consistently come up with designs infinitely better than our kit supplier.

(Sadly this one would never see the light of day, as Amex would insist on a blank square around their logo...)

Military links? What...like Colchester Military Prison?

In not entirely sure camouflage is a good look for a footballer.

Sunderland's new kit looks awfully...familiar...doesn't it?

Better than our version as it has stripes on the back as well. Why do we always insist on plain backs!?

Because last time there was epic levels of moaning about not being able to see the numbers on a striped background.

They must feel proud to have the same sponsors as the mighty WHITEHAWK

I imagine many lower league clubs are grateful to have any sponsors at all in the current climate.

I see Southampton's Chinese gambling sponsor has pulled out of their agreement today, leaving Saints having sold new shirts to fans which will soon be obsolete. Bristol City have had to delay their new Hummel kit launch as their previous (gambling) sponsor has decided not to renew their deal. and apparently another PL club with a gambling sponsor is also likely to find themselves seeking new shirt partners before the season starts.

True, although the small sponsorships that companies run at local level may have more reach on expense per capita. Hawks only get 250 fans turn up but the profile of the club as a media feature of interest runs much wider than that.

I was wearing my Whitehawk hoodie at an evening cricket match recently and a player who never goes, or even supports Hawks, started talking about them straight away. People know the club brand even if doesn't cause further enquiry.

Finally a worse sponsor than 'ManBetX'. And wtf is that collar?!

I enjoyed this comment on FootballShirtCulture which sums it up nicely.

Not true now. See the new GK shirt.

We need a 'Shit Kits 2020' knockout poll, I reckon this would be up there amongst the favourites.

That’s a lovely shade of blue. Glossy 90s vibe.

 

[portlock seagull]

That's horrid.

Agree, like it’s made from the leftovers of a millets tent after a bear attack. Disgusting.

Liverpool away... every shirt is unique as it’s cut from a larger sheet of fabric to stop excess wastage apparently. I wonder if we’ll end up with a red version

Whilst that is a great idea I am left wondering whether that makes it easier or harder for the guys making fakes?

I love the ethical idea behind it. Pretty ugly result though!
