Re: Updated: New kit revealed

The club shop usually offer free p&p at a level just about the price of an adult shirt. It's currently £70 so I expect these to be £65.
I'll spend it on half a tank of diesel instead.

Re: Updated: New kit revealed

It’s the prices of the things that astound me, but I guess there are enough people to buy them to justify it.

It’ll be on sale for £20 no doubt in 10 months time!

Agree with all of that, I wonder if the cost of living crisis will make any difference to sales?

Re: New Kit - Revealed 9th July

I think the broad white v-neck could have been improved.

Being the only EPL or EFL club wearing a New Balance kit this season here was an opportunity lost to make a statement for other clubs to want them to be their kit suppliers when their existing deals run out.

City and New Balance have had all summer to produce a collectors' item kit and we are left with a drab offering that took all of 10 seconds to come up with. Its doesn't make me think that this is a kit I want to buy.

But at least its not like the Jacks' offering.

Re: Updated: New kit revealed

I like it. The pics are a bit shoddy but I think it’ll look good in person and up close. NB went safe which is a shame but on the flip side they didn’t go so experimental we ended up with a shit shirt.

I like a raglan sleeve top, I think it’s a sign…of what who knows :hehe:

Re: Updated: New kit revealed

I'm surprised by the vaguely negative reaction - I really like it actually! I do think the pictures fail to showcase it well and, to be honest, in probably not going to pay full price for it either. But, I really like the bluebird print and I think the picture of McGuiness shows how it'll look good as it catches the light.

I'm also interested in the yellow motif in those pictures. Having worked with a few ad agencies over the years, they like to weave motifs through their full campaign so I wonder if that's a nod to a yellow away kit ...

Re: Updated: New kit revealed

Looks alright. Bit of Liverpool in the 80s vibe with the plain white collar and in blue, obviously. Looking at the other NB kits I thought we'd get something "clean" (plain) for the home kit and now maybe we'll get something more outlandish for the away.

On another note I'm wondering how they managed to make them look indoors when they're outside. Unless they've made Curtis Nelson's house look like the CCS car park.

Re: Updated: New kit revealed

I like it. Pretty understated but a nice shirt. The bluebirds pattern at least gives it some uniqueness and individuality, which is more than you can say for all the boring copy-and-paste Adidas kits we've had for the last 7 years.

As Sts'ikel says, I think it'll look a lot better in person than the images let on.

Also, ref price, just wait until the end of the season and you'll be able to pick one up for £20.

Not fussed on the collar but its alright. White shorts would improve it, matching the big **** off collar!

Madness if paying £70 for a blue T-shirt, IMO. I find it laughable all the hype about kit and the slight differences over the seasons, I was down the City yesterday and they were setting up the launch photos, I asked a guy if the set up was for the "New kit launch" and he said "Something like that" as if he was dealing with information on national security. It never used to be like this, crazy marketing for a shirt which probably cost a few £ to produce, but selling at £70 !!!!

Re: Updated: New kit revealed

Dropped into my mailbox and I was ready for the drumroll. Hah, hah, hah! That's what a dozen designers all on £150K a pop and serious recreational habit'll get for you in these hard times.

Thank f*ck its blue!

Funny enough my youngest daughter said similar, she said, what's the 3rd kit like as that'll be the one I am getting next season when its discontiuned ( she has most if not all of the shirts, the green, orange, silver and blue ones from recent years ) all purchased in the sale under about £20

Re: New Kit - Revealed 9th July

We’ve gone right off white shorts lately haven’t we.

Such a shame that - should always be white shorts and white socks 🙁

Re: Updated: New kit revealed

The pictures just don't sell it. The lads on the sofa look scruffy and the shirt on the hanger makes it looks like it's striped. NB didn't exactly push the boat out with the design. I bet the brief to them was FFS just make sure it's blue.

That said, it's a very nice colour blue and I think viewed differently it'll look good.

I agree.

The shirt is probably quite nice but the photos and video make it almost to decipher any detail. I didn’t notice the Bluebird in the fabric until my son pointed it out as he had zoomed right in!

And the shirt hanging up, at first glance on my phone, looked like it has black vertical stripes like Inter, but on closer inspection that are shadows.

How hard can it be?! 🤦*♂️
