Not keen. Too much blue on the home kit, and the away reminds me of Blackburn.

it's based on the 1981/82 kit. It is arguably the most iconic kit in our entire history.

I know. If we can repeat the outcome - fantastic! Still not keen on the style per se though. Personal choice and all that....

I was rather hoping we might finish higher than 11th in the league next season, shit pastiche of a kit or not.

I'd take 11h and a large cup!

We need to win a cup... Swansea have landed Infiniti motors as their sponsor.

If they can get a luxury car company to sponsor them after 32Red then that's a great leap!


EDIT: Also, MG are back in business and seem to be selling a few. Perhaps in two years when this expires we could land them!

I dream for anything other than gambling. What happened to the good old days of Muller and MG Rover... Sigh.

Jores Okore quote.

"I'm happy to be wearing the shirt and I feel like I'm looking really good in it - it feels very comfortable."

Good to know my nipples won't rub off...I'm buying one on your recommendation now Jores! :)

Acorns isn't a sponsor though. They don't pay us.

Seems a great idea to me to put Acorns of the kids shirts.

I agree that is a great idea.

As an aside, SHA's jnr kits will have 'Help Harry Help Others' on them.

If that is true then I think it is an excellent initiative. I hope we follow in suit with the acorns idea.

On initial thoughts on seeing the kits, I did vomit a couple of times in my mouth, but pleasantly growing on me after seeing the new boys in them today.
Even had a little twinge on, hoping by the weekend I need baby wipes to ensure I buy the both.UTV.

Not really - They sold 13 cars last month. For reference even Dacia sold over 1,000. Infiniti aren't doing much better.

Arsenal -Saga-Dreamcast.
Villa-Rover-MG.
I know that was home/away shirts but it might be possible.

Those are the same company aren't they?
Good point.

probably not for Tax purposes

Well, Dreamcast was a product, not a company.

Well yeah but it was made by Sega. There wasn't a company called Dreamcast. At least I hope not otherwise this post will be pretty redundant.

People are being too fussy. Have our new sponsors on the home shirt, 'Drink Beer, Smoke Tabs' on the away shirt and on the kids shirt the name of a pocket money day loan company.

Well, they achieved the impossible and came up with worse kits than last year.  Laughably bad.

Claret shirt, blue sleeves? Laughably bad? What exactly do you want?

Overall after a few days I so like the kits. a lot My only gripe is the collar on the home which I don't like. To me it looks like two incomplete thoughts and neither really work. I'd rather it was much simpler than it is. But otherwise they are both really quite good and especially the away which is just different.
