igsey Posted 27 May, 2021 Share Posted 27 May, 2021 Looks good, would have preferred a striped back but I guess once it's got a massive number/name on the back it doesn't matter too much. I will probably buy it (from a knock-off Chinese website, at least). When's the away/third kit out? 😇 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very much clutching at straws here but could a solid block of colour be easier for deeper players to pick out the runs of more advanced players during attacking moves? Or maybe easier for the coaching/performance peeps to identify players from the touchline? Seems highly unlikely but one would have thought there would be a specific reason rather than some pen-pusher in procurement and/or marketing tossing a coin as to how they wanted the back to look....?

I saw the Denmark third kit earlier in the week and it looked tremendous. I was `excited' about our new shirt design, but they have failed to deliver the same wow factor. I like the Chevrons down the stripes, but really hate the black pinstripes between the red and white stripes. I guess it harks directly back to the 89 kit, but I really don't care for the black in our colour scheme - so there will be no pleasing me if its used in the shirt and not just the shorts. The collar is not great too. Just looks weird. I guess its original, so maybe I will grow to like it. It's certainly an improvement on the dreadful UA designs, but I was hoping for something a bit classier, but maybe its not possible when using red, back and white, as that is just a bad colour combination. but I was hoping for something a bit classier, but maybe its not possible when using red, back and white, as that is just a bad colour combination. Well its a good clean unfussy shirt that's better than some we've had.....................besides its better than a 1 colour home shirt like some teams. I like it.Like you though its a pity it isn't allowed on the back, after all we now have VAR to spot the culprit should the ref miss something.

Baird of the land Posted 27 May, 2021 Share Posted 27 May, 2021 Doh was really hoping for something inspired by the 1987-89 Saints/danish vibe kit. Maybe next time. To be fair i expected it would be a return to a very simple stripe affair this time after the sash approach. Doesn't inspire any desire in me to purchase but sure there are many stripe fans who will be happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just read that the latest the kit supports Augmented Reality (not a phrase I thought I'd ever say...), which is apparently a global first. Is that innovative for you? Apparently it can be scanned with a smart phone to receive special offers from the OS store. Or, if this is your thing, can be made to appear that a life size 3D version of JWP is in your living room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the Keegan kit c80-84, then the plain red one with the white and black bits, followed the hummel denmark half plain, half stripes kit. IMO all of them plus the sash kits we've had were miles better than any striped effort including this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lettuce Posted 27 May, 2021 Share Posted 27 May, 2021 Nice kit, an improvement on recent years. I'm probably in the minority but I'd love to see a kit that resembles the classic PONY kit of the early 90's.

I reckon it could look decent given a modern-day update. At least it's stripes with a bit of "innovation" that some on here crave. Still got both home and away kits of that original PONY design but they're looking a bit battle-scarred these days. Fortunately, those 90's designs were generously proportioned so have accommodated a bit of lockdown spread. A modern-day refresh or adding them to the retro shirt range would be welcome. Perhaps such an "iconic" design might inspire some MLT-levels of genius from our current squad (not holding my breath) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
