I think they've got the Arsenal and United socks the wrong way round?
The New Kits Thread
- Thread starter Plan M
- Start date
All three kits in that photo are absolutely horrific. The Arsenal kit is a travesty, the Barcelona kit looks like some fantasy kit done on a template for Footballshirtculture.com, and our kit looks like Scouse pyjamas.
By Christ, that United kit is embarrassingly awful.
Genuinely, who sat there and thought to themselves "You know what Manchester United fans would love...fecking tartan jerseys! I mean they have a Scottish manager, they play in red...they will look fabulous!".
The smallest bit of market research would have told them, most unanimously that the vast majority of United fans want a simple, normal jersey. Genuinely, if you put this to an online vote with 3 or 4 other choices up there then I can guarantee it would be last, by a huge margin.
The only thing I can think of is that they hope to regain the money lost through the kit not selling via the advertising/attention Nike will get from the the garish design.

Yawn.
The 2010 World Cup shirt was class.
The 2010 World Cup shirt was class.
The red and white combine pretty well. What colour will the shorts be though?
Don't like the red, be better blue.
Must be blue.
White I think. Supposedly the new home goalie shirt is red.
That collar is hideous. In fact it looks an awful lot (no pun intended) like the one on the dire Newcastle shirt that was leaked a few pages back.
I like it, would prefer the crest was normal though, can anyone photoshop the proper crest on it??
Umbro Blog – England 2012: inspired by St George, Tailored by Umbro England, Football Shirts
Personally, I think it's pretty horrible.
I like it better than the last one that Jimmy Saville designed.
It is ok bar the collar.
Keeper
That's the collar they should have used on the outfield shirts.
So what's your favourite ever England shirts?
Euro 96 all day long, the 2010 one was pretty nice but the memories have tarnished it.
Team GB:
Should of went with a similar look to the Basketball kits.
Good shout.
Pity about the away shirt
I fecking loved that away shirt. Newcastle had an away kit of a similar colour around the same time that looked ace too. That grey/blue was cracking.
Team GB:
Liking that, just hope they don't stick a stupidly high RRP on it.
Team GB:
Looks like a wetsuit. Pretty gay.
Would be a nice cycling shirt. Needs a bit more red though.
Exactly. Am I missing something here or has red been banned? Features heavily in the Union jack, the St George/England flag and the Welsh flag. So where is it? Why so much navy?
The England kit is pretty nice, I think.
This
I still have mine and it still fits me.
That's awesome.
The Olympic shirt is quite 'cycley' but it has a more athletics look so I guess that's fitting.
Was hoping that red keepers shirt was going to be the away one when I first saw it. It's decent.
I think the Olympic shirt is horrid.
Thinking about it they should have made it look like the MLS shirts do. Different but still more footbally.
Is it just me or is that a terribly unfit mannequin?
Maybe it's a Jacamo mannequin
I've seen pretty good repros on ebay with an embroidered England badge and a sew on admiral logo. they're actually better than the originals.
Take that fecking hat off you soppy twat!
