alpine_saint Posted 5 July, 2016 Share Posted 5 July, 2016 I wonder why the club keeps ignoring us - the fans - who buy it. Jesus, Adidas only had to reverse Ajax's kit in previous years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrfahaji Posted 5 July, 2016 Share Posted 5 July, 2016 They should make 3 or 4 different shirts, sell them well in advance with the proviso that only 1 is going to be the official kit, the others will end up as limited editions. Whichever one sells the best is the design they eventually go with. I'm sure there are (and The9 is about to point them about) flaws in this idea in terms of production timelines and cost effectiveness, but at least they might end up with a popular kit...

The flaw I can see is that people will want to see the team wear the shirt they buy, rather than being happy that they have a fundamentally useless alternative. They sell enough of them no matter what - the red adidas thing proved that (although I was pleased to see shedloads of them turn up at the concourse sale a few weeks back).

Stoozer Posted 5 July, 2016 Share Posted 5 July, 2016 The Xerox or candy stripe design would sell lots and are my personal favourites. A modern twist on either of these would be great. Also, would it be too much to ask for a yellow and blue away kit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 5 July, 2016 Share Posted 5 July, 2016 You should always make these threads. No offence, OP! I will, when there's something to discuss. Which won't be until at least October or whenever UA launch a teamwear brochure. Far less fun when we know the brand and the sponsor already...

I did wonder about that, but I bet there are also quite a lot of people who would enjoy having a "limited edition" kit that wasn't used by the team in a way people revel in owning super rare memorabilia!

BlakeySFC Posted 5 July, 2016 Share Posted 5 July, 2016 Since there was such uproar the last time we departed from stripes I don't think the club are likely to depart from them again anytime in the near future, it'll be stripes for the foreseeable future with little touches (like the white shoulder strip on this years shirt) that make them different, next year may be some bits of gold, then some black pinstripes interspersed with the red/white stripes the year after, who knows.

once_bitterne Posted 7 March, 2017 Author Share Posted 7 March, 2017 I believe this was the official kit thread. The 9's is just false news..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 7 March, 2017 Share Posted 7 March, 2017 Ha, I waited until there was actually some news, as discussed above. I don't think there will be much point absorbing this into the actual kit thread either, as nothing here is about actual kit or possible designs. FWIW I haven't started all the kit threads and I'm not precious about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW I haven't started all the kit threads and I'm not precious about it. Really??!! Starting one on the 17th of November is a bit weird, with nearly 8 months until they traditionally thrust the new strip upon us............... bit like wishing your life away. Anyone would think you worked for Taylor Made golf clubs (new set to sell every six months). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
