I don't really judge a kit until I see it on the players in a game.  What I would say is my 9 year old lives in his so it's been washed about a dozen times already and it still looks new. It's a lot thicker fabric than the Nike stuff.

It just feels nicer to touch, too. The Nike stuff always felt like you could actually just rip it apart.

When we signed with Macron, I did a bit of googling on them, and ended up on a West Ham forum, and the general consensus there was that it was the best made gear they'd ever had.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I'm pretty sure the sponsor was wonky on most of the home shirts I had a look at in the club shop on New Street...?

So which club has the worst shirts in the Prem this season then? Everton usually have 'interesting' away/goalie kits.

Would it be kinder to let him live in the house with you?

Yet they probably have the best home kit this season.

The purpleness is not that obvious there.

By far the worst is the United tea-towel one IMO.

I quite like that Liverpool kit, it's better than ours.  Apart from the bits that look like shit tatoos on the sleeves.

Agreed Risso.

Warrior aren't a big player when in comes to football kits, but that effort looks simple and uncluttered.

Unlike our mess of a strip, which seems to have 3/4 design ideas and executes each one poorly.

Saw the shirt in New Street today. Not sure if this has been mentioned before but the blue on the shirt is lighter than on the socks, which is much closer to the blue I would recognise as the traditional Villa colour.

Looked odd to me.
I still havent seen the kit up close but my old man said exactly the same thing. They seemed to make a big deal about getting the colours right for the entire kit and under different conditions, so how they managed to mess this up and some of the other design elements they were looking to achieve is any ones guess.

The training kits and leisure wear also leave a lot to be desired, so I'll be getting a claret and blue Fred Perry polo shirt instead...no questions over design, quality or longevity.
