I loved the Luke style.
Claret shirts with Blue trim with Blue shorts.
Probably because my first kit was the ‘69 version.

If traditional means Boring, I want boring.
But traditional is all black, or all Red, or black and white hoops, or claret and blue halfs or quarters or any of the above...

Traditional is claret shirt, with blue sleeves. The fact that it took a while to establish the tradition and that we have occasionally messed about with it since doesn't alter that. Any variation from the theme now would be an abomination.

The Luke shirts were fucking dreadful.

I think you'll be in a minority with that take.

Claret shirt, Sky blue sleeves, Sky blue socks. Please.

The shocker for me is we've had almost as many kits in the last 30 years and we'd had in the previous 120 years. Sign of the times, I guess.

And boring will do for me too.

There's at least two of us, and this is not a democracy.

It's not as if we're voting on it's return. But it was certainly a very popuar kit.

Leaked photo of McGinn wearing the 'lounging-midfielder' version of our new kit...





Looks genuine to me.

They do Wulves and Barcodes, right? Meh...
And Gers.Thought their top looked very wishy washy against Celtic. There again,a Wolves supporting family member says the training gear was top class.

He's a Wulvz fan mate, he probably thinks polyester shirts are class

We ambled around the Newcastle club shop before our away game up there, knowing that the Castore rumours looked true. The thing that really struck home was that their entire range just looked really cheap and nasty. Not just the shirts, but everything. The leisurewear was horrendous.

Luke did a very clever marketing job on that kit. There were some supporters who would have died in a ditch defending it.
