Burnley’s new kit pisses all over ours. Get Castore in the bin ASAP.

Burnley's is just a rehash of ours with W88 and a collar on it.

West Ham's pisses all over ours.

Nice kit, shame about the sponsor's logo.

I think our kit next year to celebrate our 150th year will be ace. Heard it here first

I haven't really had a good look at the new kit until the Torres unveiling.  It's horrible IMO. 

It is. I really hate the sponsor on our shirt as well. Worst kit and sponsor for years.

I'm of the alternative opinion. Didn't like the pictures, hated the shoulders, but I saw one on a kid in the wild last weekend. It looked quite good, I thought.

Won't be buying one, though.

Maybe if we win something.

I don't like the new shirt.  I'm sure it will be ok when I see the players playing in it, but to me the design just looks clumsy.

I've seen a lot of criticism of the Castore quality, but we said the same about Kappa.  I thought when Castore started they were renowned for being pretty high quality.  Have the standards dropped significantly or are they being pulled up for the odd quality control issue which I'd assume would happen with most manufacturers when you're making thousands of shirts?

Either way, if we can push top 6 is would be nice if we could persuade Adidas, Nike or Umbro on board.

My shirt is having the sponsor removed next week

Believe it to be one of our worst ever designs.Thought it might grow on me, alas not a chance.

It looks very flimsy or something in the pics of Torres wearing it. I know he's a skinny bloke but the sleeves especially look very flappy.

The quality is atrocious, it just feels and looks cheap and nasty. Castore are by some distance the worst supplier we've had, even the wonky badge away kit wasn't as poor as this.

Hopefully Heck will kick Castore into touch ASAP.
Would like it if we went back to Luke

I know everyone is morally opposed to anything other than claret body with blue sleeves as the home kit, but that claret/black training kit would make a very nice home kit.

The lion will be facing back the other way next season, I'm pretty sure of it.  We just need to find another bunch of creatives to come up with some fluff as to why.
"With the club going from strength to strength, Unai Emery is taking the club in a new direction. This means that the lion, previously facing forwards, is now facing backwards. We've turned it round so that it's once again facing forward, yada yada yada"

‘The lion, whilst facing backwards, is actually moonwalking forwards, just like Jeffery Daniel (ask your Dad, kids) did in 1982, the year we were crowned Champions of Europe, towards a brighter future’

I’m available to start tomorrow.
