There doesn't seem to be anything solid but apparently those are the home and away shirts for the full season.

EDIT: That or this is. I don't know.


This is a combination of two Nike templates, both from World Cup 2006. The stripe across the neck is from the template that Mexico used, the rest of it is the kit that the United States and Brazil(among others probably) used.

My current favorite shirt, one that I actually wear, is the blue Manchester United shirt from this year with the 1968 European Cup stuff on it.



One that I really like is this one, Manchester United 2000/01. Originally a training top that they ended up wearing in a few matches.

Yep it was brilliant. Got it at home somewhere with just the number 8 on the back. Can't believe it's so old as to be from 92 - 94 though, wow. Too small for me now of course....

What size is it? I'd buy that poo poo from you right now.

Apparently the actual kits that the England team wear are tailor made for each player. Shame that doesn't come with the replicas!

They are selling them by chest size though, 34, 36, etc. not just small medium large so you should be able to get a more fitted size than usual.

Looks like the blue pint-stripe Arsenal away kit has been confirmed and I think for once I might not actually buy the new kit because I find it staggeringly ugly. Maybe seeing the team actually play in it will change my mind, kind of like the old gold SEGA away kit from 01/02

So it has history? That's cool, I like that then. It is kinda funny though in light of Spurs' recent 'success'.

Is the Carling Cup in 2008 really that long ago? Sure it's a Mickey Mouse trophy but they've won a trophy more recently than Arsenal, Chelsea, or Liverpool.

Right: Barcelona's 2004-2005 third kit. I absolutely love it because it's so unique.

Not pictured: Fiorentina. Real men wear purple.

Edit: Just checked, it's the 3rd largest club stadium in England, only smaller than the Emirates and Old Trafford(and Wembley).

Elland Road holds the distinction of being the largest stadium in League One, :lol:Leeds:lol:.

Agreed, this one and the Chelsea manboobs model are beyond terrible.

Is there any chance that they're so awful that sales will be markedly lower this year? I could see that sending a message to both teams. Of course I think it's far more likely that people will buy them anyway, thus tacitly encouraging miserable design and/or mesh pectorals.

Chelsea's 2nd and 3rd kit are pretty nice so sales for those will probably be up.

United should have a new 2nd and 3rd this season as well. I've bought the 2nd and 3rd over the red shirt in recent years so hopefully they'll do something good with those.

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/2497034/Our-worst-XI-of-the-most-tasteless-kits-in-football.html

I didn't realise Villa had such a horrible strip in 94.

The 1991 Manchester United kit is class, I dunno what the Sun is talking about. The rest are universally terrible though. If I had to pick a United kit it would be the blue/black tiger stripe one from 1992/93.

Nike have been much better, cleaner, and less reliant on spamming all their teams with one template than Adidas have in the past three or four years. Pretty much everything since WC 2006 has been inoffensive at the least, if not superb. Compare this with Adidas giving many of their teams the same look, and doing things like the man-bra that many of this season's new shirts have...

[edit] I guess what I'm saying is many of the jersey 'spergers out there are liking what Nike is doing much, much more than Adidas or Puma.

Nike learned their lesson with the Total 90 kits from 2004/05. Nobody likes looking at the same shirt over and over with the colors switched.

Has there ever been a case of a player refusing to play/be sold to another club because he despises a strip that much?

For reference.
