City's two kits both suspect - hardly a glorious switch to Puma

No, Dwight is thinking blank and white stripes look far better!

They don't - they sell shirts for under-18s without it but do them in very large sizes - but their adult kits have the ads on.

There’s a lot of Child Obesity in the East End of London.

You see, there are some advantages to childhood obesity!

I'm usually very critical of our new kits but there are just two things I don't like about this one. I would prefer the neck to be blue all the way round and, of course, the awful sponsors logo just ruins it. Other than that, compared to some recent shirts, I actually like it. I'd buy one if I could get one without the sponsor on.

They’re football kits, they’re fine. I am impressed by the Mondrian room they’ve done the away kit shoot in though.

Buy two, cut a square panel out of the back of one and sew it over the sponsor logos of the other. Hey presto a sponsor less home kit and some new claret dusting cloths!

Well that's one answer

I did get a home shirt one season with no sponsor on - it was when Super League were doing them and Joyce Pickles gave me one that had been done before the sponsors logo went on. Was always one of my favourite shirts.

That will be a countermeasure to muscle fatigue driven through tactile performance.

Ashley Barnes does enjoy a tactile performance

I’ll be ensuring that zonal performance doesn’t cause the wicking away of the money from my wallet. Because it’s a stinker of a shirt.

I don't find it particularly offensive. Quite like it actually.

I like it

I also like both of City's new kits

Not so sure about the goalie(?) shirt Tom's wearing though.

Interesting that Heaton has modelled the keepers' kit. Players supposedly on their way out don't usually do this.

That’s being a bit picky when everyone knew what I meant

Unless I have missed it, when are the away kits being launched?

agreenwood · Post by **agreenwood** » Mon Jul 01, 2019 11:15 am

With the exception of the collar, I don’t mind the design.

However, I hope that the kits the players are modelling are rushed prototypes, because those weird creases just above the chest (particularly in the Westwood photo), make it look a poor fit.

If your promo photos, using a professional athlete, don’t look great, it doesn’t bode well for your average fan.

White home socks with sky blue contrast side leg panel and BFC wording to the back compliment the kit.

That seating looks fantastic,proper old school.

Shorts are the best thing about it. Not a fan of the collar, and the logo is huge.

I do like Umbro's stuff though, so keeping fingers crossed for decent change kits

I googled the owners of the new shirt sponsor and found this.....

No Ney Never · Post by **No Ney Never** » Mon Jul 01, 2019 12:14 pm

Regarding sponsorship of the shirt. Last season the sleeve was a different sponsor than the shirt front.
Does the same sponsor on the front also get the sleeve in the same deal this season, or have they had to pay extra for the sleeve as well?

Is the promo photo showing the goalkeeper top hanging from an exit gate a subliminal message?

Wanted to say I'd logged in just to like that, but then I realised I was already logged in. So, I logged out just so I could log back in to like it.

Part of the deal to have it on the sleeve too

I agree about the collar, with that bit in the middle it looks like a trendy vicar going on a Pride march

I like the shirt other than the collar which is awful. Will have to wait until I see it in person before I decide whether to buy one or not.

Question is is it biodegradable? The shirt not the team?
