AIA is red on the home kit because we wear the home kit more often than not. AIA pay big money to have their logo exposed as much as possible and their logo and brand is red.
It IS annoying to have a red logo, but it shouldn't be something people don't understand by now. We've had AIA since 2013.

There should be a kit thread "checklist"

1) Why isn't the home shirt all white? - Because it would be hard to redesign every year. If it can't be redesigned, Nike can't sell as many. If they can't sell as many they can't give us the big bucks.
2) Why is AIA red? - See above
3) I like a shirt with a collar. Great. Buy a polo shirt and leave football shirts for footballers.
4) Why are they so expensive when they cost pennies to make? - Because Nike pay us £450m for the length of the contract and need to recoup it and make a profit.

Yes I know all that, but doesn't mean I have to like it! I haven't bought a single home shirt since 2013 and only buy away kits if I like the design.
Having gone through my old shirts in the loft to try and find a white one to wear for the final, I've got a Pony one and a Hewlett Packard one that still fit (they must have been really baggy!). I ended up wearing my '91 Cup Final shirt in Bilbao, a bit tight but just about got away with it. I won't be wearing it again though, as I managed to get Mabbsey to sign it, so don't want to wash it again :)

The tracksuit from the final released yesterday and sold out in few hours. It's quality but £120 for top and £90 for bottoms so fierce expensive. Would consider the top but too old for bottoms but £120 dear enough for a casual top

Agree this is because our new kit has soo many panels - they're fukkin shit in the stadium/DryFit version it's almost criminal.

The home shirt aint worth a fiver let alone £85 - when I saw it in person I was actually shocked then i put it on and all the panelling is itchy and nasty.

In the Elite/VaporKnit it's not AS bad but no way I'm adding it to my collection looks like shit on.

1) it has been all white before many times with navy accents - you just make small adjustments like the 2017/2019/2022/2023 & my favourite of all time the 2021 :)

2) I like the AIA some don't but to me I prefer it as it's just simple unlike that silly Aurasma (I work in IT and was like WTF IS THIS???) or that horrid HP Logo...I hate HP kit due to working in IT :D also I don't like betting sponsors it feels like WONGA or some shit...

3) No collars on football shirts - only Cantona could pull it off :D

4) Agree - but this upcoming season is the cheapest looking shite I've worn...
