You should be working at Nike!

And replace that Gooner cunt of a chief designer they have now!!

Oh boy, here we go....... already!!



Can hardly imagine better colour combination. Might be a shirt I'll buy. Only shame that stupid shirt sponsor we currently have would stop any design from becoming a classic (and I don't only mean the colour)
 

Spurs have signed a sponsorship deal with Ant International (the people behind Alipay) and the deal will have them on the sleeves of our training kits.

Ant International are massive so this feels like a potential replacement for AIA when that deal runs out in 2027.
 
The fact that 'you know who' have to wear their AWAY kit in the NLD because their HOME kit has so much WHITE in it, tells you it's not just us who have banter kit designers!!

...and we thought having the AIA logo was bad...

Imagine having SO MUCH RED in our shirt, it clashed with THEM??!!!
 
After seeing last night's abomination make its' debut, (the KIT, not any of the players)
I have a glaringly obvious observation:

... we've (Nike) have TOTALLY underestimated and missed the point of why a kit should CONTRAST.... not only with the opposition, but the PITCH!

To even think of having an ALL GREEN kit, on an all GREEN football pitch is pretty useless and defeats the point of using colour...

Secondly, against a team wearing Sky Blue, it's even more detrimental, as it makes it almost impossible to pick out the difference...

Have they ever considered that SOME players might be colour blind?

The whole POINT of having a kit to use to your benefit, is to be able to pick out your teammates in an instant, from out the corner of your eye in some cases, to gain an advantage that means you might be able to pick out a pass that the opposition might not anticipate...

Not have to use a fucking colour swatch to work out the subtle difference in shade before you can confidently make a pass!

...and I don't just mean Green vs. Blue colours... I'm talking about dark and light SHADES here too...

Two relatively PALE kits up against eachother make it SO much more difficult to differentiate between players...

Why do you think a lot of teams have used a vibrant colour (Man City and Barcas luminous Orange springs to mind)
Also, it's a well known fact that bright colours appear BIGGER as they are easier to see (which is why a lot of GKs now favour a brighter kit)

I KNOW it was derided in some quarters as pointing blane, or excuse making - but SAF first called it when he made his Man Utd players change kits at HT 'cos they couldn't make out eachother in GREY!
I mean GREY!!! Who thinks GREY is ever gonna be a good idea? (Probably the same type of genius mind who think skin coloured TAUPE would work too!)

It just staggers me that people paid to come up with ideas that can create these 1% margins that can make the difference between winning and losing, STILL haven't worked this out!

A contrasting or at least brighter kit is instantly easier to see, than one that blends in with both the opposition AND the pitch!

Nike are so busy re-inventing the wheel to bring in different shades of made up colour names, they've completely lost sight (pun intended) of what the point of having an away kit IS...

TO CONTRAST enough from your home kit, because seemingly your home kit is deemed too similar to the opposition!

We may as well have just worn the Pale Blue away kit for all the good the green one did?

Maybe it looked more different up close in the stadium, but I swear on TV, the similarities and closeness to shade was the most obvious thing!
My mate IS colour blind, and he genuinely couldn't tell the difference, and that's ALL to do with shade, as he can tell the difference between light and dark, just not the subtlety of pale colours together...
IMAGINE how hard that would be for a colour blind player? (And statistically, there must be PLENTY in football?)

Our away kits should either be dark (Navy) or bright (Yellow)
Pale blue and pale green as alternatives to a team wearing pale blue just don't work!

We'd have been better off in the home kit if that was the alternative!

...and before anyone says about the 2019 green away kit against Ajax... They were wearing Red/White!

Bring back NAVY away kits, and/or ALL Yellow 3rd kits!
SO much better, and actually COULD be a small advantage to, y'know, picking out one of our OWN players from a distance!!!

Just a thought.

KIT rant over!

I miss Under Armour. But they've gotten out of football.

I'd love Puma or Hummel once the Nike deal is up.
For some clubs they seem to turn out quite smart, classic stuff… but ours is honestly crap. I haven’t bought anything this season. I thought Nike would be all about classic, high quality sports gear.
