I know it’s Arsenal blah blah blah, but adidas knock out by far the best kit designs.

They’re better than Nike that’s for sure but I miss having lesser worn brands like Under Armour or Puma (or even more retro like Hummel and Pony!) where we likely had a uniqueness to our kit style due to the fact so many other clubs rocked Nike and Adidas.

We’ve got about 9 more years of Nike and most of the kits we’ve churned out, especially away ones, have been awful in my opinion.

The best thing with Adidas kits is they rarely, if ever, mess about with what works

Case in point, the Argentina kit: Adidas keep it simple and classic with the only real deviation being whether they wear black shorts or white shorts

Now imagine Nike getting their crayons on it, where they'd try and do something "iconic" which winds up being downright ugly

Two dictatorships as sponsors and the kit manufacturer was a card-carrying Nazi called Adolf?!
Burn it, preferably while Partey's still wearing it.

hummel have had a blinder with some of their kits recently.
But for a massive brand, Adidas always seem to do a good job producing something unique-ish each season for the clubs they represent. Where as Nike on the other hand…
The only one I’ve genuinely loved that they’ve produced for us was that turquoise “cursed” kit. <laugh>

The away kits especially that Nike have churned out have been so awful. Can’t wrap my head around that someone has been paid to have created those and the saddest thing is you go on Twitter and find some random kid who was able to mock something up in 5 minutes that completely blows the official ones out the water.

Easy: somebody's away kit is somebody else's training kit

I honestly can't believe Nike have been allowed to get away with that for so long

All mentions of Hummel in the context of Spurs kit
should result in permanent ban + public flogging.
 
Been a decent final so far, albeit neither team has the quality in the final third yet, Fiorentina especially have had some chances, not too dissimilar from last year’s final for them.
 
Bizarre appointment imo.

The Pep effect played a huge part in him getting that job.
He has more managerial experience than any of Matt Busby, Bill Nicholson, Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley or Brian Clough before they got their first big job...and Pep Guardiola too I think
