    Given the propensity for teams wearing stripes getting relegated from the Prem I sought salvation in our away kit.

    Alas it turns out solid green is the colour for underachieving, Plymouth being a prime example, Mexico and Nigeria should both win more than they do and can't think of many more save for the classic German change strip, Wunderbar! C'mon you stripey uber Horn weltmeisters!

    New kits. The keepers shirt is rather lovely.

    So we have three goalkeeper kits? They showed a red one with the home kit, Foster and Gomes wore blue in the friendly, and now this?

    Remembering the disastrous Manu grey shirt where none of the platers could see each other against the crowd, that green shirt looks very much like something that would blend into the background a lot.

    May be useful as a handy excuse any time we lose wearing it!

    I was fearful about a green kit but it looks fairly bright and not OTT. Much better than boring red or white. A change is as good as a rest as my old mum used to say.

  7. Interesting thought

    Deeney could end up being sprinkled and lawn mowed by accident...

    The good people at Hornet Heaven Podcast have got the right idea.

    Probably will buy both. Haven’t done that in many years but I genuinely love both home and away kits. Top work adidas.

    First kits I've actually liked for a number of seasons. Home kit still looks complete and utter ****. Still overpriced nonsense considering it probably costs a couple of quid to make in China.

    LOVE the away shirt. Makes up for that Barnet top pretending to be a home shirt.

    Instead of giving fans who went to all 19 away games a shirt, why didn’t the club buy us a striker so we can score an away goal?

    I think it's quite nice and different but just can't get it out of my head that people would think I'm walking around in a goalkeepers top, which unsettled me more than I care to admit.

    Went to hornet shop today. Love the numbers on the shorts. Think this is new unless I’ve gone soft upstairs.

    Better than going soft downstairs.

    The first major club to have shirt sponsors were Liverpool.. with Hitachi in 1979.
    They weren't the first club in the country though, that was Kettering Town in 1976. Though they were immediately ordered to remove the sponsor by the FA.

    Not so much 'The Envy Of Others', more akin to 'The Others Look Questioningly At WFC For Daring To Wear The Same Kit'. Not quite as catchy a slogan if I'm honest so that's probably why they Adidas went with the former.

    Some of our players manage to disappear wearing bright yellow!

    If only it could make Holebas' left arm disappear during crosses!
     
  32. To be fair, it does seem to make his left foot disappear when taking free kicks and corners...

    I'm going for an away shirt this season torn between that and the keeper shirt

    WillisWasTheWorst Its making less grammar mistake's thats important

    The away shirt IS a goalkeeper shirt.
