Kits

personally not a fan of the home kit this year. needs more stripes

The red numbering wasn't easy to see on Tuesday night at 'Boro.  

I completely get why there's no block on the back for numbering, it looks excrement if you buy a replica top and then don't get a name/number.  But I think there probably needs to be two versions, one with the blocked out back so the name/number is visible (which would be the one the club uses and blokes who want Pete 69 on their shirt) and then the all striped version.

Other thing I noticed is the myenergi logo is on the back, across shoulders.  It's slightly higher than where the names but once the names are on the back of the shirt it's going to look quite cluttered.

I hated the home kit when I first saw it, then I saw some shots of the players in action from the Borough game and I have softened to it, it's actually pretty good. It's not the same old same old, so I suppose you will always lose some people when you do something a bit different. So, bravo, I say.

I think it looks nice "in action", particularly with the red kit numbers, but unfortunately it's not really my cup of tea personally. The black shoulders combined with the thick black stripes make it look a bit like there are shoulder pads!

I really like the red away kit though - clean and simple, with a subtle netting pattern as a nod to the local fishing industry.

It looks alright, but I do prefer it with a hint of red in it. Seeing as 3xl are already sold out, I think I am going to wait and buy the 3rd kit instead.

Wasn't too keen of the home shirt on first impression but it has grown on me, and the neck line looks better than last years so I will probably buy it, as for the away shirt i'm not wearing anything that resembles a liverpool shirt ever.

Ask anyone in the media and they hate numbers not being on a plain background. I know I do because it makes identifying the players even harder, especially if you are covering a team you are less familiar with.

Are we losing out commercially by having myenergi on the front, back and sleeve?

Some will like it. Some won’t. It’s never going to be universally accepted.

I personally, and again it’s down to if you like it or not, like the keepers shirt and would’ve liked that as a third kit. I like the home kit and the away kit is nice too.

I’d wonder what the reception for the ‘pinstripe’ kit from 93 would’ve been like had the fishy been around then.

Sorry but the new kit doesn’t float my boat. I prefer a few more stripes.

I cannot believe there is a 25 page thread on a bloody black n whitecstriped kit!
Anyway theres queues right down the street this morning, so they're obviously not that bad!
