    Hull fan in peace!
    We've had Adidas for the last 2 seasons (one more season remaining) and had the same template as Stoke and WBA and to be perfectly honest, I've not been overly impressed.
    Don't get your hopes up too highly

    Just wondered on this

    So Adidas is our new shirt sponsor but isn,t it the club who designs the shirt and tells them what we want ?
    And if Adidas design the shirt isn,t it shown to the club first.

    I say go back to wear they design a couple and put it to the fans vote

    They've done this before and it was hugely successful - but it was in the 1990's I think!! I truly hope we aren't basically playing in a Stoke shirt with a Sunderland badge on next season.

    As the people who buy these shirts we should always have some say in the matter - I remember when I was at primary school (Juniors for us old bastards) a local pub team came in with their old shirt and asked our year to design a shirt - each pupil was given a basic template and asked to use the colours of the shirt to complete the way they wanted and the Pub team decided on the winner and played in it the next season - now there were some truly awful designs but there were also some good ones (mine included obviously) they chose my mates shirt and he still had (when we left 6th form) the replica of shirt then... I think that's a fantastic idea - maybe not to ask the kids to design the shirt but to give their ideas and let the club make the decision

    I believe the deal is 'boutique' rather than template, due to the kitbag tie in.

    The 'boutique' style are the club unique one's, Marseille, Lyon, Bayern home, Milan, Madrid etc.

    If it's template, it's a small v-neck, as per the new (very smart) Swansea away.

    I hope so mate, I see it says.... All kit and training wear will feature adidas performance fabrics' ClimaCool and ClimaLite technology, a mixture of heat and moisture controlling materials, ventilation channels and 3D fabrics which improve air flow to the skin and in key heat zones.

    Would just a basic teamwear kit have all?


    Have to say as well I hope the shirt is all red on the back

    I liked the first Tombola strip from two season's back. Hated the "braces" look on last season's, so hopefully something traditional again come July!

    Yeah, all of that is standard Adidas Poolie, to be honest.

    The fact that Adidas are rebranding the shops and handling the launch in conjunction with kit bag suggests it's a 'proper' deal.

    The club, Adidas & Kitbag have all been involved, and have bigged up the deal, i'm confident they wouldn't do that for a templated kit.

    There are different levels of deal with suppliers as well, Adidas seem very 'hands on' here, so it looks like a direct deal with Adidas (admittedly through Kitbag as much as the club), which would likely mean a bespoke kit.

    I hope so and this time next month we will know, I hope it isn't just stoke top with a different badge and sponsor.

    Talking of the sponsor I wonder who that will be? would imagine we will find out very shortly

    Do you know the best way to tell the club and Adidas we think their design is ****e?

    Don't buy it. If its garbage, I won't be buying one and that's a fact.

    I have to say I'm very, very disappointed, I was hoping it would be Jacamo this time.

    The good thing is Cest, that Adidas polo's are always decent for casual.

    If the kits pony, the training range will be decent.

    The Umbro training gear was rascal.
