I don’t hate blue away kits, but what I can’t stand is this monotone use of the badge. It looks naff with the detail scrubbed out.

When done well, it can work...

Confirmed, the actual shirt is on FootyHeadlines today

If footy headlines are reporting it I have no doubt it’s the actual the shirt, but I’m 99% the images are the same as from the other leak, just cut out from the previous background.

Not belittling your efforts by any means, but if you can come up with these designs (even those copying earlier kits), why can’t the manufacturers, or the club adopt something better than the shit they’ve agreed ?

Agree. There's no reason not to use the full-colour logo on any kit, unless you're some smart-arse tone-deaf twat that thinks a monochrome logo is somehow cool or trendy. Does any other club engage in such self-indulgent stupidity?

Whilst that away kit design is a bit of harmless fun, the illegible monochromatic logo and shit-fest back-panel detract from what could be a decent quirky kit.

Aaaaand.... Relax....

All a matter of opinion but for me the mono colour crest is the least of my concerns. The design and the ridiculous back panel render discussion about the crest pointless.

the design is more important, after who will be wearing it of course. Get the team right and I don’t suppose we’ll care too much if the change kit is them playing in their underpants. 

(In answer to Trousers question I’m pretty sure others have done this with the badge it, but can’t recall who or when).

Chelsea? Think they do it pretty often. I think a lot of the clubs, certainly the top English clubs (Arsenal, City, Liverpool, United), have been using mono crests in recent years

Fucking hideous. Sees that awful wave effort from the Ralph/Jones/Selles relegation season and raises it. Third kit wants to be decent or it’s a no from me this year, won’t be buying the above or the 1 star boring home shirt.

That would have sold tens of thousands. Imagine the yellow version as the third kit. Genuinely baffled how the club fuck it up so much year after year.

The simple solution is to not buy it. But I remember similar disgust at the pink shirt before everyone decided they liked it after all and it still sold out. FWIW I loved last years kits, this season home is ok and that away is truly disgusting! (Also for full colour badge and stripes on the back)

This is where FAB should come into play and rattle a few at the club, if they have anything about them or serve any purpose.

But they probably won’t. Imagine they’re too inclined to just nod along to whatever they’re told, and be grateful the club listen to them on whether the concourse should stock Quavers and Wagon Wheels.

There were a few on display at the SF, looked really good. Put a lot of modern efforts to shame.

Even Rupert Lowe invited supporters input in the kit selection. Possibly a lot easier when it’s produced in house, but I doubt we’d end up with the crap we’re served up with if fans views are canvassed.

For me a feature on a striped shirt is ‘stripes on the back?’. If that’s not available then I’d sadly be inclined to scrap the stripes altogether.

Didn’t some bloke on here design our kits once?

Not sure, I recall Gecko did some badge designs. He might have been involved in the shirts at one point.

I feel seen. 🤣

And somewhat chastened, but I do still like the idea a colour block kit.
