Kappa kits are really eurotrashy, but they're probably the best-fitting

If you're fit, yes, if you're the average football fan, no. Diadora kits are similar.

New AC Milan shirt has a collar

So does this year's, it's just black. Looks pretty nice, though I wish they kept the collar black. Glad they didn't go with that horrendous poo poo they've been ruining everyone elses kits with. Now all we need is a not so lovely sponsor.

I think the bwin deal ends after the 09/10 season. Soon in any case. Then we'll be sponsored by paddypower or something equally silly.

I think City benefits from having a sponsor with a sleek and simple logo. Even the Thomas Cook ones weren't too terrible.

also Roma's Kappa Mazda kits were pretty good, but that might just be me as a car guy. simple and classy wordmark and logo there imo.

Most car sponsors are pretty good as most (not all certainly) car companies have non-asinine logos.

Fiorentina with Toyota is nice, the Roma Mazda kits were cool, the Milan Opel kits were good, DC United/Wolfsburg and VW are/were nice, etc. If the Torino sponsor wasn't so enormous it'd be fine.

I've always heard that the embroidered crests are just for replicas, and the on-the-pitch kits have heat pressed ones. Could be waaaaaaaaay off though.

Speaking of something like that. The first Liverpool jersey I bought a few years back (the home one with the collar), the letters and numbers are some felt-ish material. All the others I've gotten have just been heat pressed like the sponsor on the front. What gives?

I have a few older Milan kits like that, including one where the sponsor is the same material. Im pretty sure somebody on this forum said that, at least in the Premiere League, the felt ones are what the players wear on the field. I have no idea if that's correct though. For what it's worth, all the ones I've bought in person at the Milan store have been with the felt like lettering.

Thinking about it I think a lot if it might just be the centered Adidas logo and the change of sponsor. I really liked the old sponsor and the logo on the side. The logo really wasn't that intrusive and having a thin white design in the middle combined well with the rest of the kit and image of the club.

Opel is by far the coolest sponsor we've had. I hope the Emirates logo doesn't look too stupid on the kit next year, although it doesn't seem bad on Arsenal's and PSG's kits.

If the 91-92 kit had the crest on it, it would be the best. It's still ace though.

I removed the sponsor from my Milan shirt when it started to peel and it looks so much better. I can get a photograph of it if anybody wants to see.

Also, the new Fiorentina design looks fantastic. Hope this is real because that collar is going to look great...



Fiorentina usually has a cool kit. Lotto makes good ones now, plain and simple. I'd like to see your Milan kit actually - is it a bwin one?

Yeah first season of bwin I think. Flash of the camera makes it look like poo poo, that box isn't really that noticeable to the eye.



I don't why they put the sponsor in with that lovely material that peels off so easily.

Ah, I also have this one. When I first got it I thought it was ridiculously fake, I hadn't noticed that the players had that stupid boxed thing too. Im gonna remove it as well, poo poo.

Also I can vouch for that classic football shirts site; I ordered two kits from there and they're both awesome. They spell out the condition of the shirt in the description very well.

Black kits own. Seems a little plain at first, but if there's one thing that makes a good kit, it's simplicity. Good job, Nike.
