Said it a bazillion times before.

Home: Keep the home-shirt classic & simple.... Subtle tweaks each year (Collar, sleeves trim etc.) mean peeps will still buy. Blue shorts for domestic / White shorts for europe.
Away: Same design format as above in dark blue (never been fond of the sky blue... Especially now we're in the City/Oil-era). Always blue shorts (white always looks shit).
3rd: Get funky with the 3rd kit for those who seek that kind of vibe. Should also be a departure from white & dark-blue.

Honestly, they get it right, I'd buy all 3... Most seasons I typically can't even find one I like.

Agree completely with the addition that the 3rd needs to be available from the first match of the season so we don't end up playing West Brom, Newcastle, or the like in our white or navy when they have stripes that are so similar in color.

If they got rid of the daft bollocks stripes at the bottom, and change the sponsor to a navy rather than red, they could have a best seller, it's really simple but they really have lost the plot with this, last seasons kit was nice, but again the sponsor ruins it, I got the away one instead.

Third kits should always be a wildcard, something that harks back to the navy and purple, or the mad yellow kits of the 90's would be fun, for the kids of course

Indeed. I got the home kit as a gift this year (Typical in that I asked for the away! :Waaaaah: )... TBH, over the course of a season I do become numb to the red-factor but come new kit time hopes re-surface that it'll be gone all over again.

None of that horrible pissy yellow colour from a couple of years back... Nice bright, full bodied yellow pls.... Be forthright with the shade of purple too (see last years 3rd that kinda masquerades as dark blue anyway & the nearly Chelsea-blue 'purple' a few years back.).

If it was plain white and pain blue shorts each year, everyone would probably be moaning how our kit is always the same.
It’s the times.
Plain white
Newcastle, can’t really do much with their home shirt. Yet they will make less or more stripes or put the badge in a different place.
Bit like iPhones
The 4 is perfect until the 5 has a better camera until the 6 ......

You can change collars, have flecks running through it on the shoulders, add certain features to a shirt like on the sleeve or across the back but dip dying it so the shirt looks like something you'd get at an under 5's tournament I don't agree with.

Keep it traditional. Teams like Madrid seem to be able to find away of doing it each year and they don't have the luxury of having shorts and socks that you can alternate colours between

You wouldn't see Real Madrid ruin their tradition just so they can do a few wide boy tweaks to get sales up so why the fuck are we?

What? Madrid is always doing daft things with their kits. They had orange piping (!) on the home kit in 2013/14. They had a dragon print away kit a year or so later. They had a coral pink away kit, they had gradient keeper kits, etc. Madrid is one of the global leaders in terms of shaking up their kits.

Welcome to the big time folks - Nike is going to do bizarre shit with our kit, like what happens to other big clubs.
 
I tried to be optimistic about these, thinking that they would look better on the players.

I was wrong. These are complete shit.

I'm talking about the home kit. You'd never see Madrid having such a god awful home jersey as ours is this year so I don't see why we have to make a such a pigs ear of ours.

If you're going to experiment that's what the away and 3rd kits are for. A bit of piping, a change in colour our something going on on the sleeves or back of the home shirt should be the most daring a home kit should be when experimenting max!
