I wonder if people moaned back in the early '80s when the British Caledonian Adidas kit was launched ?

Shorts and socks were standard Adidas, no club badge.

I have an original Adidas British Caledonian shirt from 1981 hanging up less than a few feet away from me. It does have the club badge on. I bought it from a sports shop somewhere around Oxford Street. At the time it was a good fit. Not so much now........

Hmm. Can't help but feel that the overall effect would be that of the Blue Peter Tracy Island and that your kids could TELL

Did anyone ever make a Tracy Island which looked REMOTELY like the one on Blue Peter? Let's face it, most attempts would have just been a pile of papier mache with a couple of yoghurt pots stuck to the side.
 


I assume that those saving a tenner by making their own replica kits won't then be moaning when we can't afford to pay for a decent striker/midfielder/goalkeeper?

:lolol: I can't read this without thinking of that Fawlty Towers, Mrs Richards scene "it's ten pounds short!!!?" "Oh no! We'll have a whip round!" I can see the AITC charity box in the club shop being violently shaken to pay that poor goalkeeper's wages as we speak.

I meant the shorts didn't have the club badge on

I think the home shirt is unique, made for us. Don't believe it's an off the peg number.

Only the away shirt and thrid strip are standard stuff.

Oh and the home shorts (plus badge) and socks.

It might be made for us this season, but last season they made it like this for Malaga

I've come back home.
They look different, surely different material or different stitching. The ones you linked look like standard cheap Nike shorts. Surely the Brighton ones are going to be of higher quality?

I really don't think so. The socks are exactly the same, and pretty sure the shorts are too.

This is really geeky but the shorts we have are actually the Nike Laser II woven royal blue. The slight break at the bottom of the leg and the Dri-Fit logo on right hip and back stretch panel are the indicators. http://www.discountfootballkits.com/Nike-Laser-II-Royal-Blue-Woven-Football-Short

Oh and theirs also had stripes up 1/3rd of the back before the plain panel started. Oh, and that's a 2/3 year old template.

They have a central white strip while ours is blue! Perhaps ours is blue and white stripes while theirs is white and blue stripes?!
