The New Kits Thread

Really like the Arsenal Away and Villa Away.

Tony Evans on twitter today about Liverpool 3rd kit...

Just seen the new LFC 3rd kit. Hate it. Blue trimming and black badge (apart from flames). The flame is only red on it. Disgusted

It's like a Man City away kit. Anyone at Anfield who OK'd this should hang their head in shame

We'll see it tomorrow apparently, under embargo until midnight.

Even easier to dislike our rivals if they look the same.

Where have you seen the Arsenal away?

Maybe it's adidas's departing two fingers up to Liverpool after they signed with Warrior for next season. Looking forward to this.

That's nice.
 
It's hard for a Liverpool kit to look reasonable with that sponsor of theirs.

Other than that's it's not bad apart from the fact it doesn't look like a Liverpool kit, and the badge, which is a bit weird. I imagine they're going very over-dramatic about that.
 
At least they'll never have to suffer the humiliation of wearing such an ego draining display of ugliness in a Champions League final like we did.

The shirt itself isn't so bad, but the white shorts aren't doing Sourface G any favours there.
 
So Liverpool haven't worn blue since they pulled on second hand Everton jerseys when they left Anfield in 1892, but someone on the board okayed this?

This is the aspect of kits I don't understand - do the manufacturers just turn out anything and it's accepted or do the clubs have some input into the kit design? I always wondered who allowed Umbro to make that grey monstrosity in 1995, and I'm wondering the same about this. Did someone at Liverpool greenlight this kit?
 
How is it like an Everton kit? Because it's got 3 lines in a completely different shade of blue on it?!

Arrange the following in the correct order:

Nope, I'm well and truly stumped.

Keeping a club's tradition is pretty much the opposite of being fickle, isn't it?

Liverpool have not worn blue (other than a few kits with navy shorts under Reebok) since 1896.

United possibly had a set of light blue change jerseys in 1907, I'm sure none of us would be too impressed if Nike brought out a new away kit for us in that shade though.

You mean like this monstrosity?

Royal blue?

To be honest, I didn't understand why Nike used blue as an accent colour on our black kit when red would have looked considerably better. Just as I don't understand this "cyan" on the new Liverpool kit. Red would have worked better on that too, perhaps with yellow instead of black.

Anyway, we have a long tradition of wearing royal blue - our first away kit in 1902 was blue and white and was worn until the early 20s. All the United teams post WWII wore blue away kits in all but a handful of seasons. Liverpool don't have the same kind of association with those colours.

I loved that shirt.

Also we had a light blue change in 91/92 did we not?

It wasn't a light blue shirt, it was royal blue and white, but the way they made the pattern so small made it look light blue from a distance. A truly awful kit. It was another parting shot as well - our last adidas kit, just like the Liverpool one above is their last adidas kit.
