I hope that they don't continue with this fad of having a 3rd kit, it is totally un-necessary, lets just have a home kit and a change kit in case of a colour clash DTM preferably...... Watched MOTD on Saturday and Norwich played in their change strip of White and Black at Saints presumably because they are contracted to wear it on a set number of occassions......pure nonsense, they should play in their club colours at all times unless there is a clash which in Norwich's case is unlikely save possibly at Hull.....
A third kit is necessary to avoid playing in the opponents strip. We can't wear our first two kits at palace for example, some refs won't let us wear then against stoke or Sunderland either. At least we usually wear our home if possible probably because we know we have to change it at least half a dozen times whereas Norwich don't even need an away kit unless they draw Watford or Oxford in the cup.
Since we are not playing them this season I don't see the need for a 3rd kit, anyway Palace is not a problem, we played in our home kit the last time we played them and since when does Red/White strips clash with blue/white hoops.....all we have to do is wear blue shorts & socks and problem is sorted......a 3rd kit is just a commercial exercise, to my recollection it was worn at Huddersfied, Reading, Donny, Derby when we could have worn DTM at the first 2 and the home kit at Derby & Donny without any problems IMO.....
a look http://www.bing.com/images/search?q...&FORM=QBIR&pq=qpr don&sc=6-7&sp=1&qs=AS&sk=#a QPR v Donny photos, both sides have been made to change by some refs but there are also some pics of both teams in their first kit. We would have to play in opposition kits if we didn't have a third kit. Plus there's a chance of drawing any team in the cup, hence why Norwich have a second kit.
An Arsenal friend of mine commented that the Nike stuff was never well made and tended to fall apart quite easily. He likes the puma kit. Not sure my self but its a step up from Lotto. From memory Nike stuff usually come up quite small Hope we can get this Pre-season !
Umbro have been incorporated into Nike, so I imagine we will get he British designed nike style like the Man City or England shirts rather than their USA, more desirable shirts such as Barca, Portugal, PSG etc etc
