It's a tribute to the kit United wore in the 1909 FA Cup Final. The Mirror has an article on it here.

So is it a one off shirt like the ones for the Munich anniversary, or is it what they'll have for the season?

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.


That's clearly a fake, same with the red one with the white stripe and the Samsung logo.

Look at the white spec by the outline of the Samsung logo, looks like it's been done in MS Paint. As for the one in your post, the pixel-ey bit on the black part shows it's fake.

Yeah, I see what you mean about the black part. The white with red sash matches the original 1909 kit though and there's a few more pictures of it floating about, but no hard info anywhere.

The crest looks fake on the red/white one too. Looks like poor usage of the clone tool in Photoshop. The white one looks real, which should be worrying for United fans, because it's hideous.

Here are some clearer shots of the rumored new Man City home and away kits, from what I hear they might not be the same as these but very similar.

Those both look like they were done on a computer. Again, the stripes are added horribly. The white one's a lovely shirt, but would the sponsors really allow their logo to be that small?

That is easily the worst kit I have ever seen. They can't plea ignorance either. Looking back who ever chose the tiger print for Hull or the tv static for Reading just didn't realise how bad it was. It was the late 80's, fashion was stupid, etc.

PSG on the other hand have no excuse for this:



I name it: the fax jam.

That's nice. PSG always have nice shirts, shame they're scum though.

Portsmouth have had a rugby kit for the past few seasons, haven't they? I know last years (or the year before) was the same template as the Irish Rugby Union shirt.

The gaolkeeper one actually was the Irish Rugby shirt, just with the crest changed.

Where are the trophies? Or at least winners medals.

If I remember correctly, they're visable in another photo which I couldn't find. It's a few years since it was doing the rounds, but I seem to remember there being a section with a replica (I assume) of the European cup and (I think) Shevchenko's shirt from the final. I think his medal was in the same section.

You know, it's possible to like a few clubs in a league. Take Spain for instance. I don't give a gently caress about La Liga, but I might enjoy watching Real Madrid for a season or two, then I might enjoy watching Barcelona. I don't support either, but might like some of the players. When I was a kid, I liked a lot of the Barcelona players, such as Stoitchkov and Hagi. Then Zidane was one of my favorite ever players, so I would favour Madrid. I'm just using this as an example, so don't go comparing me to Confusion or anything, but a lot of people have floating support for leagues they don't follow too closely dependent on who's playing for the teams in question.

He never said he supported them or anything like that and I doubt he's going to become a big AZ fan just because they've won the league or anything.

I thought there was some rule in the Premiership whereby a team had to keep their kit for two full seasons. Clubs got around it in a way by staggering the launch of their home and away kits for alternate seasons so they had a 'launch' every year.

But Liverpool only had that grey away kit for one season. And I think Middlesbrough change their home kit every season. How are they allowed to get away with this? :colbert:

Which team has had the most number of kits in the last 10 years, I wonder? I bet most people would say United, but I'd go for Boro.

I always thought there was a similar rule, but there isn't.

United and Chelsea both have new home shirts this season and I'm almost certain both changed them last season, United certainly did.

As you mentioned, I seem to remember talk of a rule about 15 years ago when United were changing their shirts more regularly than other clubs.

That's good value, a season ticket to conference teams will cost you anything from £250 to £300.


Wow, I didn't know that. That's ridiculous.

As someone said, Wigan were (are?) doing season tickets for £99. I remember hearing recently that Fulham have one from around £140 or something like that.

That being said, I remember hearing a few years back that for the price of a Charlton season ticket, you could get one for Barcelona. Of course that's the most expensive for Charlton and cheapest for Barcelona, but still...

Just out of curiosity, how many of you have a problem with sponsored kits? I don't mind them, it fills in the space and gives the clubs money, but I know others like to keep the integrity of the kits.

There's no integrity in football really.

When I think of fake tops I remember the mid-nineties Barca tops that you could buy with no Kappa logo and a crudely written STOITCHKOV 8 in the world's most generic font on the back.

I have one of those somewhere.

I'm not saying what you got is or isn't a fake (frankly, who cares?), but you'd have to imagine that the techniques for making fakes has improved since then.

I was close to buying the current (08/09) Liverpool home... but I have the fear. They wont be releasing a new home kit for next season will they?

I don't think so, we generally go in two season cycles.

Also, if it's full price, it's not being changed. The grey one has been dirt cheap for a few months because it's getting replaced.

Probably. Germany's biggest lower league-only stadium in Düsseldorf falls a few hundred short with 51,500. I don't think other countries can compete with those numbers, unless there's some clubs playing in a huge run-down standing room only former national stadium in Eastern Europe.

It's slightly smaller, but even more amazing is Leipzig with a 44,000 stadium in the 5th tier :confused:

Then there's Queens Park in the 52,500 Hampden in the fourth tier of the Scottish league.

The Liepzig one's more amazing though, because it was built (I assume) for the World Cup. What happened there? Were they just determined to have one in the former East Germany or was there something else at play?
