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

I'm not surprised you don't like it, but why?

I'll answer 'cause he can't. They're horrible and tacky looking. I realise I'm in a minority, but I just don't like them. I hate the home shirt more every time I see it. The design of the collar is atrocious and the Macron logo on the top of the sleeves make it look even more of a mess.



What thread was he banned on? I want to read it.

Here you go

But that was Gnasher and It's Risso who posted here...

Has risso joined the gnasher in the bin - surely not , who will carry the flame of pessimism when we concede our first goal next season?

Anyone got the new kit yet and is it a comfy or tight fit or best to go one size up ?
Would also be interested to know if sports world are selling them and off so at what price.

The away kit is one of my favourite kits for a long time. Is it bcuz I iz a yoot? Is there a general split with the old'uns preferring the traditional look and yoot more modern? Personally I prefer it when they try something bat shit crazy, even if it fails I admire the attempt. Too many boring samey kits.

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!

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

The next door neighbour has the MG6,the only one I have seen.Nice car though.

Really? That little? I've seen a fair few on the roads - not as many as other mainstream manufacturers, granted - and thought they were doing okay. Oh well! The MG6 is a nice motor, and they've just unveiled the MG3 now, too.

Clarkson rated it as the worst car he had ever driven. Built in China and assembled in the UK.

My 16 year old nephew loves the away shirt so there may be something in it. I prefer something more traditional myself

Went into the shop in town earlier to have a closer look at the home shirt. I like it a lot more now, although still not convinced by the v neck and collar combo.

Does the kit have a better quality finish this time ? Design aside, I actually thought the quality of materials used and tailoring last season was quite poor. Also is it more fitted this time or still very loose ?

Seems better quality to me, not convinced the Macron men will survive washing though. It's supposedly slim fit but I didn't try one on.

I am quite old, and I really like the away kit as well.

Ok thanks . I personally think the designs are much better this season so if the material quality has improved too I might actually buy one.

Home is ok, away is awful. Why don't the club do 5 or 6 mock ups first online and then let the fans vote and simply go for the highest percentage? Also, still prefer green for the goalies shirt, but at least its not orange!

Because I doubt you'd get much more of an overwhelming majority than the amount of people who like this one.

There does seem to be a real positive response to the new kits from the majority of people, so I don't think it's an age thing. There are only a few people, like me and Risso for example, that out and out hate both of them. And Gok Wan, I ain't.

More to the point, it isn't blue!
