Club Kits

[TRF_Olyy]

It's grown on me now as well,
I always think as long as your home kit is your traditional colours and/or style then you push the boat out a bit on your away kit and then go buck wild with Euros (it's only gonna be worn about twice, after all)

I can't stand the euro kit being crazy thing. I don't mind it being a different design of the standard colors but when I keep getting teams mixed up cause their brand is one particular color it's not good for the competition.

I like the NBA and MLB styling, where the home and road are based on team colours and then they have a third shirt that is influenced by an alternative idea.
For example Miami Heat wear red, white and black, then have a bright blue, pink third shirt to represent the Miami Beach culture.
And in NFL, every team has a coloured shirt and a white shirt, which also makes sense.
Wish PRL, would make clubs keep to traditional colours for home and away, and allowing a different Euro/Cup shirt.

That's a good thing, though - it deserves to fail after they shoehorned the cheetahs in

Where does that shirt scream Northampton ? It doesn't. That could be any team, with a lack of taste, wearing that shirt.
Do we want to erode our identity in this way ? I sure don't.
And pandering to the sponsors is also a real no no as far as I'm concerned.

While I am a traditionalist when it comes to kit, I'm guessing cinch paid a fortune and it's provided some great financial stability to the club in this testing times, so yeah I agree but I empathise.

I wouldn't have touched them with a barge pole no matter how much money they were throwing at me. Re-naming FG was a real low.

Clubs are being made interchangeable by creating such horrible kits and that's eroding the identity and history of the Clubs and diluting what it means to be a supporter.
I have a qualification in Sports Psychology, trust me, kit and the history associated with it count a lot.

A rather nasty version of the hoops of old.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Looks like a football shirt

It's a bit dull as well, bring back the old kits all round I say!

That is rather horrible.

If I thought the home kit looked like a football shirt....

That is horrible. Although maybe the backwards people tup north may like it?

They've been going really hard on advertising over the summer, the red/blue kit is meant to be appealing to Man City/Man Utd fans - they've had these on trams/buses:

Not sure which colour scheme I dislike more !

I'm... actually excited for Bath's new kit.

Club has released these teasers today (and the classic range I posted a couple of weeks ago)





If it's good, I may well get one, despite my gradual falling out of love with both Bath and Premiership / European rugby

Well, if you've gone Old School, I like it.
That screams Bath to anyone who looks at it.

 

[Which Tyler]

I want one

Leapfrogging Wasps for best (home) kit this year

 

[Don't Skip Leg Day]

I love that bath kit.
