It's like these companies are trolling with some of the league kits they've made this year. If you look at the Euro 2020 kits you can see they're well capable of making some beautiful strips as there's a lot of nice international ones, the league stuff is just ridiculous One observation though is Barca, I don't think they've ever had a bad kit, certainly nothing really awful
I like the stories behind the kit designs, it shows that Nike are attempting to understand the club's history. To test it out, have they done a kit with the same patterns for any other club?
Yeh the 3rds exactly the same as the Croatia kit (think it's Croatia) the yellow keeper top is exactly the same as the England keeper top. Lazy ****s really mate, don't buy all that ****
I don't know whether you read the link above but it says the check design echoes the chequered flags on the Kop. I'm a sentimental old fool, take no notice of me
Yeh i Read it before on twatter, then posts popped up of the other kits they look like. Ill try find it.
That Croatia one is pretty much identical, must be to do with the Croatia flags we have on the Kop. The goalie one is just a standard design and colour. I don't think they claimed anything special about it regarding why they chose that particular colour.
The Liverpool goalkeeper top is deffo different to the England one due to the extra "Standard Chartered" Detail. The Croatia one obviously shares inspiration but is at least different in the detail.
Nike press release: 'For the Standard Chartered element of the shirt we were inspired by the special and unique atmosphere inside those kinds of banks and financial institutions by exploring the long standing traditions of banks and financial institutions and how we could reinvigorate that through the lens of banking and financial culture.'
Anyways - after seeing the new home kit a few times now on those expensive catwalk models on the pitch, I can't say my opinion of the green trim has improved. The weird crossover thing is just...weird.
I'm not actually bothered by the teal trim, it's the white bits down the side of the torso (underneath the arms) that are horrible.
I just think the way the trim comes down makes it look like they're wearing it wrong somehow, and I want to fix it. It revives all those dormant instincts of straightening the kids' clothes before they go out. Irritating.
