Ballers...I put numbers on the boards

I like it, but I think it's down to the fact that I always associate national teams with a period when they were really good and that's 70s looking. It was West Germany I know, but a young Beckenbauer wouldn't look out of place in that.

Soccer Triads is still up, they're doing a 15% off promo until Monday. I might pick up a couple, those new Ajax kits sure do look nice.

I guess I was just in shock from seeing a nice clean design and a well integrated sponsor logo (and only one sponsor at that) on a French club's shirt.

I will agree that is shocking to see a Puma kit that isn't riddled with gimmicks such as spikes or duct tape numbers.

Because the previous kits had an annoying amount of white in them and a return to an all red kit is noteworthy, as it hasn't looked that way in some time. It's not simply about it being a plain shirt.

I like the Warrior home kit but hate the white numbers. Are they forced to go with white numbers due to EPL rules? The yellow numbers would be perfect.

In the world of Nike dishrag kits and duct tape Puma numbers, you think this is tacky?

I'm just saying it would match the badge and sponsor.

I think that looks a lot better than disrupting the stripes with a huge blank patch for the number and name like it is on Newcastle's current kit, for example.

As long as the ref can see it clearly, I don't know why the league should have an issue with it?

Come to think of it, why is there a standard font?

West Brom have red numbers because the other two options are white and black, both of which clash with their shirts.

I was trying to respond to Fooly Cooly's question.

EDIT: Interesting. This is supposedly from the Premier League's "application guide." It looks like various colors are already permitted, but I guess most clubs select white for maximum contrast.

Oh I know, my point is that maybe the only available colors are white, black, and then red for shirts that clash with both. I am completely wrong! Thanks for posting that.

Also, I think there's a standard font because it's looks classy as gently caress.

To be honest, I did see a Liverpool home kit in the wild, and it did just look like a common-or-garden red polo shirt with yellow badges.

Of course, I didn't feel the need to go up to the guy and start pulling at his shirt to see what it was made of, so ymmv.

Even in the US there must be plenty of sports shops that have the United/Arsenal/Liverpool/Chelsea kit in stock. Just go and touch them. The Liverpool kit feels fine to me material wise, but as I've said before I don't like the look of it anyway. I have six or seven red Liverpool tops, maybe I'll get the away this year.

I did see the third in person just yesterday. There's no getting around it, it's weird. I kinda like it but I'm not spending money on it.

That font is the Premier League font, no other league in the world uses it(as far as I know).

I've always wanted to see a black United kit with red numbers for some reason, I'm not sure why.
