Let's be honest, we've been given plenty of warning of what to expect considering Nike kits fall into one of two categories 1.) The shockingly lazy one Sticking to their template with ruthless efficiency, this is a kit which can literally be designed in the space of five minutes as it has just three things to change: the shirt colour, the accent colour, and the club badge. So while on the surface the kits of Brazil, South Korea and Portugal may appear different, they really aren't - unless, of course, the team wear a kit that doesn't fit the usual criteria, such as Barca, at which point they have to put thought into the design 2.) The horribly mutilated one On the other hand, when Nike's kit designers decide to get creative...oh boy, that's when you get Australia's World Cup kit with those creepers on the sleeves, or PSG's with what appears to be the cover of Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures on the front, or the Atletico Madrid kit that looks like Freddy Krueger had a go at them, or our current kit
I liked Joy Divisions Unknown Pleasures, my favourite Album of all time. Wouldn't listen to it at a football match though.
So disappointed with the Nike kits so far. Wasn’t a fan of under armour but I prefer their attempts to what Nike have offered so far. Just glad I stopped buying shirts years ago so don’t have to wear the tripe we’ve had recently. In Nike’s defence I don’t think it’s possible to have a nice looking kit with that AIA sponsor.
The kit is twitters number 1 trend, and has its own “moments” feature section which has captured a selection of tweets from fans throughout the day, as well as some player photos thrown in. After the horrific responses and comments I’ve seen about it today, I can only assume Levy must have paid twitter to only pick out the positive comments for the feature! I do agree with @KingHotspur though. That red AIA is just going to be an eye sore on what ever kit we have. The Nike away kits look so much better without it.
Someone on Twitter got rid of the gradient effect and changed the colour of the sponsor's logo: Does anyone think that doesn't make it look better? Anyone?
Totally agree! That is a disgrace and the club shouldn't get away with it either. Haven't seen any price reduction to acknowledge a rehashed product!
Kit on the left: purple with light blue fiddly **** on the sleeves Kit on the right: navy with light blue fiddly **** on the sleeves Conclusion: it's not the same kit, just an example of Nike's lazy sticking to their kit template, and you'd have to be a misanthropic bore who writes blogs saying how Spurs fans should all think the same as him or that left-wing people don't like football to write a blog saying otherwise.
You can get 16:1 on Spurs winning the Prem this coming season worth a bet? Do it now before we resign Bale and Modric because the odds will tumble. Or of course 25:1 on the Goons if you are a bit hertz van rental or if you really want to throw your money away, 500:1 gets you the Spam. Best Odds on Citeh are 8/13 with the Mousers second favourites at 9/2. Plenty of deluded mousers backing them then. Manure at 7:1, Chavs at 14:1 then us. 2500:1 Cardiff to do a Leicester and win it from fekking nowhere.
The one to note in this is that Wolves are at similar odds to Everton, in around the 250/1 bracket at most bookies. Some have the a little longer and some have even come in to 100/1. They're shorter than Leicester and a lot of other established Premier League sides. Now I'm not saying that they're in any way likely to win the thing, but it shows the bookies' opinion of them. They need to be taken seriously and I think that they could make an impact. Spending big and with some dodgy agent connections backing them, too.
Bookies generally fix their odds on the amount of money being placed, which explains why the mousers are right there, 'next year will be our year' etc. The smart money looks to be on Citeh to retain it, but Wolves? There must have been a few decent sized bets there. If I was looking for an outsider I would probably go for Fulham.
Its been there a while, either trying to firm up a sponsorship deal or flog Nike a whole bunch of textiles.
I just hope Nike don't see his boat, or that'll be the kit design for approximately 73 different teams next season...
