Kits 23/24

[The Moose]

The lion is facing the wrong way. That's all really. Do the suits care? Let's hope 🙏

[Smirker]

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.

Its better than the home shirt imo.

Just looks so classy with the black too.

Oops

Roma and Adidas are reportedly working to fix their new 2023-24 season jerseys after realising they had included a copyright watermark on the design.

The issue was noticed after the presentation of the new kit, which has a design using the ‘Mappa del Falda’ from 1676 of the city of Rome in the background along the numbers.

Footy Headlines pointed out that the watermark was still visible from the Alamy Stock photographs supplier.

According to Il Tempo, Roma and Adidas are rushing to remove the watermark from their kits before they are released to the public.

The report suggests that the blame for the error was not due to the club or Adidas, but rather a third party that provided the Falda map for the design and forgot to remove the watermark.

It seems they took the images of the ancient map of Rome from the Alamy Stock Photo catalogue.

They have us 14th out of 15 so far. Must admit when I first saw the kit I wasn't a fan, then it grew on me and now I've seen it more and in the wild, I'm really not liking it. I can't stand that shoulder panel effect.

Chelsea's isn't what I was expecting, considering I've read a few reports of it being a stunner.

God knows what people see in that. It looks like one of those shit base kits you get in pro Evo.

Ours is rubbish

I can only go on what the youths think and my 14 year old niece and her footy mates love the Chelsea shirt. I mean it's fine but I don't know why it's standing out. Yeah, ours is piss poor.

[PeterWithesShin]

It's the shoulder panel that really fucks ours up, it just looks weird.

It really does, it's strange what effect basically two thin claret lines can have on a shirt but I reckon without that panelling it would be 'alright'.

[AV84]

I can't get my head around the Chelsea one. I think I need to see it in the proper context of a football match to convince my brain its not a tshirt.

One review of our shirt, who has us at 11th, is a pretty fair summation in my opinion:

'The latest team to go down the Castore route, and it’s not quite worked for them. What’s that bit of piping doing there on the shoulder? Absolutely fuck all is the answer. It looks lost and distracts the eye. It’s just neither nowt nor summat, too prominent to be ignored, too thin and lost to serve any purpose. It’s probably just too subtle for our dumb tastes. Otherwise the shirt is mainly fine, but it’s a drab 6/10 at best and the one attempt at something beyond the mundane only drags that number down. Villa’s new round badge looks good, though. Well done there.'

[PeterWithe]

I don’t buy the shirts but do buy training gear when on sale for football and pissing round the house in, no complaints at all about the quality of the Castore stuff and I like to support British manufacturers, albeit almost certainly put together by a 5 year old Bangladeshi in a factory the size of a shoe box.

It does. The piping claret lining on the sleeve should line up with the claret body panel, but doesn't, because the stitching on the shirt appears to have been done by a blind 95 year old. Honestly, it's a piece of absolute shit. You can even see it on the shirt stretching picture above.
