I’m not one to always buy shirts on release day, but the video today and the design convinced me to buy it. Special feeling to be back in the big time, man. Quite emotional in a sense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drove to the Fort and got one at JD instead. Where were all these people when by band played at the kit launch in 2013!!!? JD instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we are all looking at these images on different devices, different screens, with different settings, with different lighting around us, without even considering how we individually perceive colours on a physiological and psychological level. It's curious that so many seem to have a very definite idea of which claret they prefer, and that they seem to be linked to periods of relative success on the pitch, and there's nothing wrong with that, it's just interesting that the association of colour and success seem so intrinsically linked. It's similar to the round badge debate in that regard. Quite like the shade I'm seeing, would be nice if we could stick to a manufacturer and keep these colours consistently for a while at least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we did have a defined shade of claret until Macron changed it. That's my point. I don’t have a problem. What are you on about? I was literally just saying that your opinion shows that there are multiple opinions on what “our shade” of claret is. That’s all. It wasn’t a negative for **** sake Edited July 23 by Stevo985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s like kits in general, some of the biggest fan favourites are from our successful periods. That kit colours become the one. Yet the Asics/ muller kit colours would definitely not go down well now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what it’s about. You can be proud to add that to the collection and know it was the year we made it finally. It’s all worth it for those moments.

Not likely, would the more reddish claret be popular if we were bobbins in the late 70's/early 80's? It's interesting, with my designer hat on I actually quite liked some of the Under Armour stuff, but it's been tarnished by the association of being part of a pretty sorry period on the pitch, the Macron stuff was fine as well, but we got relegated in it, so it's never going to win any favourite kit competitions.

I really liked the white Under Armour kit that year. For me, the first shirt I ever owned was the 96 home kit, money wasn’t easy to come by, but my mum worked hard to get it and it also coincided with our league cup success, and whilst the claret looks different under the lighting, seeing the new kit with Adidas took me back to that time in my youth. And now, in 2024, we are in the Champions League and that awe and sense of pride just hits on a very different but beautiful level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
