Why the feck do Adidas ruin potnetially good black kits with those faded imprints? I get that they're supposed to be an homage to older jerseys, but it just makes the jersey look cheaper and more tacky imo.
First real picture of the new away shirt. Out next wednesday.

Love it. The retro pattern makes it. A proper crest in red and yellow, and the Adidas trefoil in that old fluffy material would have made it really special.
Out next Wednesday? Have we ever brought a kit out before the end of a season?
Last year, it's a standard adidas move.
Was it out to buy? I can't remember that.

I like it. Will definitely be getting it (from Thailand as per
).Could be worn away at Arsenal or the Southampton game?
I believe so. That's why they release them before the end of the season.

Absolutely hate it. Retro stuff just not my style. A number of black designs that have been put on the caf there are over this. Might buy it as a drying-up cloth though as it beats the old Scarborough castle design my gran gave me at xmas
over this. Might buy it as a drying-up cloth though as it beats the old Scarborough castle design my gran gave me at xmasThe logo is gold because that is Chevy's trademark logo. The gold "bow-tie" medallion. Just like the Ford "oval" medallion is blue. If they are paying 50mil a year or so for it, pretty sure they want it to be 'correct'.
DHgate?I like it. Will definitely be getting it (from Thailand as per
This. That would be a truly tasty kit.
This is a logo for some of their cars. The outline is recognizable and obvious that it's Chevy. Though, I'm not THAT bothered about the gold bowtie as I've gotten used to it by now.
Most likely. There or jersey777 as they are good for player versions.
Lads get over the chevy logo its not going anywhere until theres a new sponsor.
Btw Chevrolets deal is up in 2021.

I've not used jersey777 before, it is on there now having just looked.
The Chevy logo looks mint. The black shirt looks mint.
Yup
What's the sizes like at jersey 777 ? I have always bought shirts from normal shops so i have no idea.
After looking at their site i may give them a try, for that price it's worth a try.
Looks good, but would look better with a full-color badge.
Why Adidas insist on screwing with badges on away and alternate shirts is beyond me. The club shouldn't allow it.

The only good one is the red one as usual
Sizes are normal really. The player version shirts are tighter though so unless you like them more 'fitted' like I do i'd suggest sizing up.
I normally leave it until the shirt has been out a month or so before I order just to make sure they are using the correct prototype, as they sometimes jump the gun and sell the shirt early and it isn't 100% if that makes sense.
Are people seriously still moaning about the fecking Chevy logo. Christ it's been 3 years, it's not going anywhere and Chevrolet or the club obviously don't want to change it.
It's about advertising, i imagine when Chevy offered to pay the club £50m+ per year and the club when they agreed to it. Neither party had the fashion conscious football shirt wearing folk in mind who think their logo is a bit garish, oh the horror.

Do any of their current models have that version of the logo on them?
Thanks for the info and yeah i know what you mean about waiting a month.
I just don't think i can wait that long i really like the look of that home shirt.
Why are you so angry about people not liking a logo?
Who said i'm angry, how would you even get that from the tone of my post?
I'm not angry i'm puzzled i pop into these kit threads every couple of months over the last few years and 3 years on people are still discussing the chevrolet logo as much as the actual kits.
God forbid people would voice any sort of displeasure over the issue of commercialization, am I right? I mean it's just weird that club supporters would rather the club crest feature in its intended colors than a foreign sponsor. But money and Deloitte rankings and revenues and flashy signings right? There's been very little success around here since that has been the business model.
You seriously like the Chevy logo?

The retro USA WC '94 print does not look good.
1. The complaints have nothing to do with commercialisation, they're moaning about that specific logo.
2. He didn't say anything about the club crest.
3. There's been quite a bit of success since 2005 actually, and if we're honest the commercialisation began long before that and we've been enormous beneficiaries of that.
I do.
I like it also.
Never really gotten the inherent love for our black kits myself. We've only had one truly great black kit IMO, and that was in 94/95. All the others have a slightly off, fascistic look to me. I much prefer the royal blue ones personally.
The pattern on this one looks pretty naff. And the monochrome badges always look cheap.

I don't necessarily disagree with that but for this particular discussion that argument had more merit in 2014. People seem to have no problem with the idea of United selling the advertising space on the shirt, they just don't like which company logo is placed there. I mean come on it's literally the same thing being discussed over and over again 3 years on.
Someone says they hate the Chevy logo and how horrible it is, another person says but thats their company logo they use on all their recent cars and they pay a lot of money to put it there, then someone else says but why can't it just be white text or text and a white outline... bla, bla, bla rinse repeat.
I had thought that at some point over a 3 year period people would just make peace with the fact that the logo is here to stay. It seems i was wrong.
Yeah I don't have an issue with it whatsoever. Amazing init? Wouldn't do us all to be the same.
