Yeah, it's the shorts that are the real dealbreaker; you're not allowed to wear shorts the same colour as your opponents, and a black and red striped kit would almost certainly include shorts of the same colour as our new black and yellow home kit.
Excellent to see the McDonalds mascots trotting out in yellow shirts. Globally uplifting. Clearly CEO Easterbrook of this parish intervened. Less satisfactory is the choice of red shorts. And the weird phenomenon that most of the mascots have been 6 foot something.
Courtesy of someone on Enjoythegame (not going to name names just in case it screws him over), but whoever on here said the away kit is green (El D?) might very well be right.
Also, the player on the left in red is wearing goalkeeping gloves, as keepers always do in promotional shots. The player on the right is not so I doubt very much it's a keeper's jersey. Not sure if it means anything but definitely no green training tops either. Plain red, white, 2x blue, yellow, grey and black. No green.
Won't a green kit just make the players look invisible on the pitch? Like Capoue but in every position
Saw the new kit being worn by a couple of young lads today it looked really smart. The Black wasn’t too much it looked a really well balanced kit plus the little hornet on the back is bigger than expected which is a good thing, as sometimes the finer details go unnoticed. I just hope we have put as much effort into the away kit
The kids kit has less black on it than the adults. Someone showed comparison pics in here somewhere further back.
There is a high likelihood the away kit will be plain; one main colour - white or blue - probably mid or lighter shade. If white hopefully the detail is classy like German shirt and some recent Swansea ones. Green would be very left field but hopefully not dark. RED again or bold stripes will be out. Personally would luv that violet kit the Italians wear - Florentina with yellow detail?
Gotta be that green one hasn't it? Can't think of what else it could be. Been meaning to say that the Hornet on the back of the shirt is very reminiscent of our club badge from the late 60's/mid 70's. I wonder if it's the first move in dropping the moose? Which would be a good idea imo.
'A nugget of the purest green'. 'Well I wouldn't call it a nugget,more of a splat'. Nice pitch though.Gone,thankfully, are the days of enormous men with no necks and funny ears wrecking it in the name of rugby!
https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/uk-sport-news/every-kit-rated-manchester-united-1748218 All the 2018/19 EPL kits rated out of ten. Ours certainly seems to be pleasing to the journalist's eyes...
I'm torn between being very pleased with the writer's assessment of our kit and disagreeing immensely with quite a lot of his other assessments. Cognitive dissonance at its finest.
A friendly against FC Koln tomorrow I think. I wonder if the 'Green Hornet' kit will make its first appearance?
Do you mind. I've just eaten and the whole lot nearly came back up at the thought of Rodders signing on for a full Pozzo.
Having watched a bit of the FC Koln friendly on YouTube, I thought the new kit looked pretty horrible in action. The stripes along with the red sponsors logo were just an orangey blur. And just way too much black. Disappointing!
I thought the shirts by themselves looked pretty good with the red logo wfc on them. The kit as a whole looked disappointing on the stream - far too much black
You kind of hope it'll grow on you but further viewing in action makes it worse, add a green away kit and that would really be the icing on a sour tasting cake, much too much marzipan
FWIW Geordieland is going mental over the price of their own kit* and, TBF, our top* is a "hefty" £14.99 cheaper than theirs. * Mike Ashely's sportsdirect is "rumoured" to be selling the same top, without any badges, for £3. **£50 for a nylon top?
