    A good kit.

    Echoes and respects our history of the white second strip.

    Ignore these puffs who want a hi viz shirt with go faster chevrons and trendy 'me too' stylings.

    Well done Umbro.

    When this contract is up, let's hope Bukta get the gig.

    Always liked white shirts myself. The 07/08 one was a favourite.

    I remember Diame was the face of SportsPesa and gave loads of interviews - a week later he ****ed off

    That was the same time that Ehab announced he was African

    Seem to recall white was the away strip for a long time when I first started watching in 1963. They were using white kits when TWS were the Blue And Yellow ****e. Terry Neill altered it to red and black stripes, colours for away colours which seemed a bit of a fad at the time, as he thought it made players look taller. Which actually seened to be the case.

    Wasnt Liverpools switch to all red rather than white shorts meant to be for the same reason?

    He thought they would look more powerful. At the time I thought it looked poor but, surprisingly, Shanks knew better than myself.

    I'd disagree. Black shorts would make it look like the shirt from one kit and the shorts from another.

    If the amber stripe on the shoulders is going to be a feature on the shorts though, it should also be on the sides of the body of the shirt so that the line up from the shorts is constant.

    Hey, there's no reason that when designing kits that clubs shouldn't take the time to consider the style factor of even the least well maintained FKW's

    A new signing should be in the transfer thread. He looks a bit old, did we get for free?

    He paid us! Maybe football is going the way of the lesser F1 teams? Pay to play.

    Stick a proper badge on it and that's one of the best kits we've had.
