New Bayern kit is the same loving awful Addidas template.

https://wi.somethingawful.com/cb/cb77c6acf540bf701b8d577c3f31bb3223d8a464.jpg

This looks slightly less terrible, but I still hate it. I hate the zipper and the fact that it's two different shades of red. Also hate the akward collar. This is such a lovely template.

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

What's the deal with the collar? It looks like a golf shirt as Theo is wearing it at different heights on each side. It's just weird looking. Other than that, I gotta say, I really like it (especially since the shorts are the same color as the kit). I just don't see the real hate for it. It's far better than the lovely Adidas template.

Barcelona's keeper shirt should be their away shirt/third shirt. The lovely away shirt should be the goalkeeper shirt.

I'm debating whether or not I want to get one of the new Arsenal away kits. Kitbag has them for $60 and they start shipping at the end of June. Shipping is shockingly reasonable for overseas prices.

If you get letters on them know that they're not the normal felt kind and instead are cheapo plastic ones.

Is getting it from World Soccer Shop going to be any better than Kitbag?

e: Oh. You meant names and numbers right? I'm just getting a blank one so it should be fine?

I haven't bought a Roma kit in years and won't until either they ditch Kappa or they stop making tight form fitting kits. I've let my C.Ronaldo figure morph more into the other Ronaldo :(

That and their kits haven't really changed enough in the last couple of years to warrant purchasing one. I think the ones from the last 3 or so have been virtually identical except for minor differences.

That being said, I still like their kit (though the sponsor logo is fairly ridiculous).

Oh hey look we came out with a new 3rd kit and it's another loving ugly white one.

I don't see too much of a problem with it. It just seems like a reversed version of the away kit.

First off, what the gently caress is that?

Secondly, those City shirts are amazing. It's nice to know Umbro kept things simple and didn't try to over design the shirt. An example of this is putting a loving sports bra on your kit.

I really kind of like it. It doesn't look as ridiculous as most of the poo poo Adidas has been coming out with. I'm just not sure if I like it, or if I like it by comparison.

Does anyone have any idea when the US World Cup shirt is going on sale? This is apparently it. It's suppose to go for a commemorative look from the 1950 shirt when they beat England 1-0 (What I read on football shirt culture).

Apparently the shirt next year is going to resemble the 1971 shirt to celebrate the 125th anniversary.

The 1971 shirt is just red with white sleeves, if those rumors are true then it will resemble practically every shirt we've ever had with the exception of our current ones and the 05/06 redcurrant shirt.

Yeah I know..Thats why I was kind of baffled when I read it. It was revealed on Arsenal Insider and they're pretty much calling it fact (as well as getting exclusive first looks at upcoming shirts) so maybe they have something going on.

Whatever, I'd still get it.

I hate it when you wash a medium twice and it goes all bill and ted

I wear XL shirts but usually wear XXL football jerseys for that reason. My RBNY kit was pretty big on me the first time but one or two times through the wash and its more snug. I usually get XXL's for Nike kits since they're usually even tighter than the Adidas ones.

e: Holy loving poo poo. Kitbag is basically giving away the Pompey away kits. They're like $15 but all they have is XXL and XXXL haha. I think I'll buy one and shrink it down.

Has anyone ever had issues placing an order on kitbag? I live in the U.S. and no matter the payment or shipping type I use, I can't get the order to go through. I threw them an e-mail but there's no way I'm calling them since it's international.

I solved it. Definitely some type of issue using a CC when ordering from US to the UK, but I got paypal to work by logging into my account first then checking out.

Yeah Chelsea is far more loved in the US.... but don't ask them to name more than 2 players.

Being an American who actually goes to MLS games I can tell you that most people in the US support one of Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea, Liverpool. It's not a surprise really. When you start getting into actual supporter's sections though the amount of teams supported diversifies. I know plenty of Fulham, Villa, Tottenham fans in my supporter's group. There's even a Stoke fan. That's just the Premiership as there are plenty of Bundesliga fans too.

Pretty much every Spanish speaking person I work with that watches football supporters either United, Milan, Real Madrid, or Barcelona. They're all from Central America though and don't really have ties to teams.
