I'm hoping we may get a bit of a tartan pattern on it at least, as it's been vaguely rumoured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are buying into a brand; they want their clients to look like Adidas athletes. They are going for a template that is instantly recognisable, without seeing the badge you should know ''yeah, that is an adidas kit''. The level of customisation depends on the client. But they will still keep it fairly the same. What you pay for is the fabric, the quality, the badge (of course) the wider availability, the 'adidas look'.

You are getting the prestige of having a one of the top two sportswear brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it happen with multiple manufacturers trying to match a color across different materials (even plastics, in the case of American football) and it is exceedingly difficult. This makes me think our tusks should be blue, because this looks SHIT. The football having multiple reds on it next to it makes it look even worse. Makes me wonder about the different shorts pattern though for the change shorts (will they also be claret, or blue and if so what will be the "tusk" for that, as I'd think you'd want that to all potentially match up???).

They don't want the red to match. It's supposed to stand out. The problem with doing it in the same colour is that it looks like it's a failed attempt to get then to match. Either way I guess I agree that those tusks need to be a completely different colour. Blue is fine for us, and is a no brainer option for them. United had the issue that their shorts are white so they can't really go with white as an option...maybe black would have been better for them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it’s fun as hell. Unlike watching the team. Oof. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 That's got a 90s MLS feel to it and not every season but every now and then as their 3rd kits they should try to recreate them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea why they bother with white text on light blue as it's impossible to make out. They seem to have a similar badge fail to us. That Manchester United kit looks awful, what's with the orange? Doesn't work at all. Don't mind the West Ham top but it's a bit boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In MLS (my most recent experience with adidas), you want to get authentic because that's the only way to get a kit with stars on it and another design flourish or two, and the material is always more breathable.
