I was gonna say it's not a bad looking kit but yeah for a striped club that is not a replacement for stripes. Why don't clubs/kit makers realize that stripes are sacred?

Preview of tomorrow's big reveal. Crest in the centre is loving awful unless it's a proper 1994 retro kit with full hoops. Red on the home kit is wrong unless Russian owner spends �60m on Benny Benassi too.

Apparently away kit is the classic blue and yellow hoops in which case all is forgiven and I'll probably buy both. Double so if names are in red on the back of home (even though I won't get a name on mine)

Fun game: Guess the team this kit is for without looking at the next post

Fun clue: Kit is extraordinarily poo poo and makes almost no reference to traditional colours or style of team who will play in it.

I like how the stripes on the sleeves are a different thickness. It's like they went out of their way to make the worst shirt possible.

Its amazing that Norwich, a team that literally plays in yellow and green, are going to have the best kit in the Prem next season.

Did all the manufacturers get together and decide that this year was the year they all go for terrible designs?

I prefer this over the away kit, the collar on the home top is brilliant.

However, I refuse to pay �45 for a top... when did this happen?! I think I'm still living in the 90's, I thought they were a lot less.

I'm going with adidas' take of releasing a kit of pure class (Chelsea home) and then waiting to release another classy as hell kit (Chelsea away).

But now I fully expect a picture of Roman's yacht to be on the 3rd...also a Russian flag.

edit: and Drogba's face. ok done.

I think so. Not only are there more bad kits than good ones, but alot of those bad ones are seriously bad.

I'll bite. gently caress Arsenal, but it looks great. And the smaller sleeve hoops are a necessity on the body, from an aesthetic point of view. I'd love it if my club had a third kit with this sort of fun and ambition. Kudos to my friends at Nike (and my enemies at the Emirates) for pushing this through.

Many laughs tonight over the Saints kit though. Umbro has completely lost the plot.
