"...intelligence doesn't make you a good footballer. Oxford and Cambridge would have the best sides if that were true. It's a football brain that matters and that doesn't usually go with an academic brain. In fact I prefer it when it doesn't. I prefer players not to be too good or clever at other things. It means they concentrate on football." They could have used that quote.
Yeah, the home kit should be in the Tour de France. I like the away, partly because it's got Pittsburgh's colors, but I wonder about the fact that both of them are so untraditional. I might like the GK kit if it were a bolder fuchsia. As it is I'm afraid Hugo will fade into the background completely. With little else to go on, the model gives me some idea of who somebody at Spurs may think will feature prominently for us. Eiriksen's obvious, but Paulinho and Ade reassure me. Don't know why. I'm in the "Sell Paulinho and get the Modric replacement we need," camp. The first person with a great brain for his sport I could think of was Larry Bird. It always seemed to me his brain is so good at basketball partly because it's none too swift at anything else.
I understand the strong purple kit as colours like that are supposed to make the 'keeper seem bigger, at least that was the reasoning when Chelsea first started using hi-vis style 'keeper kits. I don't get the navy one though but hey, maybe that's the one they want to sell, I don't think it's bad.
Because they are fairly neutral. Not many big clubs wear black home kits, so it's not going to have any negative opposition vibes to it. Also, and more importantly, it is a very popular colour with consumers. Black kits sell very well so are popular with kit manufacturers to use as away kits.
I think the large red lettering is ghastly and an insult to our navy blue & white heritage. The pink goalkeepers outfit is hideous too.
Yes I was going to intervene to say that just because someone has gone to Oxford or Cambridge does not mean they are neccessarily above average in intelligence. Clever is different, for example it's clever to remember lots of facts or numbers but intelligence is something else. I have a definition: Inteligence is not what you know it's what you do with what you know. So stop being a bloody snob Boss and good point HBIC. Boris for example a shirt short of a wardrobe.
"Yes I was going to intervene to say that just because someone has gone to Oxford or Cambridge does not mean they are neccessarily above average in intelligence. Clever is different, for example it's clever to remember lots of facts or numbers but intelligence is something else." <quote> From "Mainstream Science on Intelligence" (1994), an editorial statement by fifty-two researchers: A very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience. It is not merely book learning, a narrow academic skill, or test-taking smarts. Rather, it reflects a broader and deeper capability for comprehending our surroundings—"catching on," "making sense" of things, or "figuring out" what to do. </quote> Not that I am condemning a bit of Oxbridge bashing (I went to a better university than either of those) .
I think the kit looks alright now I've seen it in game. It doesn't exactly scream "Tottenham" but it's okay.
I hate the home kit it's disgusting. Why bother with the sh*t yellow bits on it. Plain white with a bit of navy and you can't go wrong.why do they always have to make them so busy?
Agreed YV, the kits growing on me a bit too. Not a perfect effort but I could grow to like it given time
To attempt to acknowledge the 10th passing away of Bill Nicholson, by having 11 yellow stripes on a second choice football shirt is as shabby as it can get. Previously, the club has conducted tributes to Nicholson with the utmost dignity, but this latest "tribute" is just cheap. Two awful shirts and if I was asked to wear what Lloris is expected to wear, then I would ask for a transfer. No real goalkeeper should ever have to wear such ghastly coloured kit.
If I was Levy, the "echoes of glory" quote would be heat-branded onto any Spurs player who makes at least one appearance in the seniors.
