The modern day fan would explode waiting 2 seasons for a new kit. People are getting tetchy just waiting for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gold accents just add that touch of class and further differentiate us from other claret and blue clubs. Always preferred our more vibrant version of claret compared to those other teams. The best. Edited June 7 by Jas10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billson Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 4 hours ago, GlobalVillan said: Why are we seemingly always the last club to release our kits? It's been this way for decades. Different owners, different brands and yet always the same story. I feels worse to me this year because they made it seem like it was imminent with Heck's "I think it's time for a new kit" tweet and the whole Adidas promo campaign at the end of the season. I didn't think they'd be making such a big deal just to announce something we already knew (adidas taking over), I thought they were hinting that the kit would be revealed at the same time. Clearly I completely misread the whole thing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't want that monstrosity to be any more visible than it already is. What we really want is no sponsor logo, trefoil, and an unleashed gold lion.

maqroll Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Doesn't get much better than this. The whole kit is a masterpiece. The collar, the long sleeves with claret cuffs, the gold trim, the stripes on the shorts, the mostly claret socks with the stripes and gold markings (Reebok branding?), and the shade of claret and blue is perfect. It's not the powder blue that somehow took over or scheme. And the claret isn't pinkish or purplish like some other modern shirts. The only thing lacking is the forgettable sponsor logo, despite the convenient AST aspect. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
