Got the new away kit today got to say I love it , I was buzzin when I found out Adidas was going to make it never a fan of umbro but true to form its a bit tight round the belly I'm gutted . Still wore it down the pub today and in London I stick out like a sore thumb. Guys please forgive me if this post is a bit random but I'm fuc?@d and if any one is feeling festive some rep would be great lol hope everyone's Xmas is goi g great and tomorrow we will beat city 1-0
I honestly think its the best shirt in the premiership and in the top two we have ever had. 1:0 would be great, Ji goal, slightly offside four mins into injury time, go on then
I love it aswell, it's a long time since we've had a top that nice. I uses to love the old White Hummel away top worn in 1992 http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com.au/viewitem?itemId=150926128443
Teesside mackem uncanny when I referred the top two away shirts that's the other I referred to, if I remember it was described as a European top, still waiting patiently lol
Lol, I remember it been described as European aswell! I used to have one, I wish i still had it, it's still my fave top we've had. I've always preferred away tops.
I thought it was only Mags that bothered with that Rep mallarkey... Regarding the top, it is great to hear of our fans from far and wide wearing the colours with pride..
Teesside mackem not sure I've still got that top but it was making an appearance in Thailand last year but I think I've let it go now lol
Would give you rep if i knew how to do it. Never bothered me this rep thing. I must stand alone on here when I say I do not like this seasons away strip. I still have one, and wear it, but not too keen.
anyone notice we have changed the colour of our away socks halfway through the season, the last 2 games we have wore the lighter socks rather than the darker one's for no apparent reason
Love the kits, wasn't keen on the home initially but love it now. Not one for wearing replica shirts, but I have both track tops (blue & red), some of the plain training joggers, and the blue training shirt with the sponsor on, I think they all look mint. Adidas, for me, just the simpleness of the 3 stripes down the arm makes them look professional as ****, hope we stick as partners for a long time. Still think the Hummel with the red arrows is my fave ever, but the quality was pathetic!
lol im the other way i think the 3 stripes look crap and amaturish, no need for it imho little logo on the front and thats all you need, the logo blazoned all over is crap and thats why i have always detested adidas. (after all the 3 stripes is the adidas logo)
Ha, we're all different mate! I must have 30 plus items of Adidas Originals gear, all 3 striped, plus trainers on top, I love the stuff, always have!
I just dont like the way its their logo thats blazoned all over the place yes they are clever and make it look like part of the item but its still their logo, its like having the nike tick in 300 places on each sleave, or the puma cat the same. I just dont think there is any need for it, but then i hate advertising on anything. I think you should be able to buy strips etc without a crappy sponsor on them as well, I have the winter jacket from last year I love it and wear it around boro and get the piss took out of me esp after the CC Cup exit, but the one thing i hate about it is the Tombola blazoned across the shoulder blades on the back. I just hate the stripes though as it is adidas, its not just the look they use, it is their logo emblazoned all over the item.
Ah but Steve, from a design point of view, stripes across shoulders also creates the impression of width, and creates the impression of bulk across the chest (not always good for our fans that mind....). It is branding, but I like it, and i'm generally not one for OTT slogans etc.
so just have 1 stripe or 2 stripes then the 3 stripes are adidas and there is no getting away from that. not sure how you can see when its accross the top of the shoulders though. I like the seatle seahawks stripe with the 1 stripe. please log in to view this image but adidas is "JUST" about logo placement, nothing else for me.
It is, of course, and as we agree, very much a personal choice thing! Off to the SOL now to freeze my Xmas bait out! All the best mate
and to you mate but i do think it looks out of place on the away strip, home strip looks better as the whole strip is stripes, away strip is not, so plain shoulders would have been a lot better but as its adidas we will never get that as long as we are with them. I wouldnt have bought it anyway even if it was someone else, but I still dont like it at all lol.
