Re: New Spurs kit

there is this thing now with american college football teams going crazy with the outrageous uniforms, it started with Orgeon Ducks, then TCU, now Maryland.... tackier the better i guess. i can't stand it myself. the Oregon uniforms are the WORSE.
that said, i also hope UA don't go overboard with the spurs shirts....
The Oregon strip was, iirc, part of a whole experiment by Nike… there was some kind of totally absurd number of combinations, because of the various pants and shirts available.
Even the concept mockups here I don't particularly mind, since they're bold, without being ridiculous. OTOH, who knows if we will still look at them that way in 20 years, the mid-90s shirts have certainly not aged particularly well! I would still prefer an all-white shirt with a collar, just like this year's!
But no matter what, the two things that annoy me most about Spurs shirts are:
1. the red in the sponsor
2. the fact that the official PL "blue" is different than our blue, meaning our numbers and names are a different shade than the rest of the details on the shirt. Drives me up a wall seeing it on screen and basically guarantees that I will not buy the shirt with a name. (I lucked out and have last year's home and away completely blank, without even a sponsor. Sadly, I got a little too excited playing with the home shirt on over the summer, and now it's, um, showing evidence of being used to prevent a sweaty dude from being naked).
