The new home kit looks quite similar to the current one which was ok but never bothered to get it myself. The away kit just looks dreadful.
Why oh why can't we stick the hoops back on the away kits??? The red and black is strip of the past two decades is fine.
Home kit is much of the same.. away kit could be sop much better without that stupid white collar. A simple red round neck would have done and made it simple and presentable.....Not sure i could buy one this year...well unless i got a red marker too....!
Im assuming we are sticking with the red theme as its big in Asia. For Marketing purposes I suppose I can understand that. Shame it isnt hooped though. The home isn't too bad, at least it doesnt look like the sponsor was ironed on in a hurry like last seasons. Just my opinion of course, and we all know they are like ar*eholes..........everyones got one.
Too bad we don't get to see the full away kit. Decision reserved until I do. Looks like that will be our home shirt under this owner. It is starting to grow on me, not bad. If Air Asia's colors are red and white, that explains the Away kit.
Very good point Sooper, red is a 'lucky colour' for the Chinese and other Asian cultures, hence the arguments at Cardiff recently. If only we could squeeze a dragon in there somehow......
Red is a lucky colour to the chinese, so that part is understandable. Bring back 'Dennis the menace'.
Never gonna happen mate...no successful bussiness man is gonna look (or give the idea that he's)looking backwards....sorry i love the menace kit too..BTW
The kit is a complicated thing - lot of baggage and history for us loyalists, but its also a branding/ marketing tool. It would be interesting to know who the target market actually is - might not be us loyalists, who are captured already. The home kit is still very distinctive and might attract non aligned non UK fans on look alone. Rollers investigations into Overseas Rs may cast some light on this....
All 3 kits will be hoops next season. Lotto have an 8 month lead time so these kits had to be sorted within the 1st couple of months of TF arriving so I dont blame him. I blame the shop manager who approved them, especially as there was a lot of negative reaction to the narrow hoops...so they made then even narrower. They should just give us an option of voting for the 3 kits with 3 different choices. The most popular wins and hence more get sold.
