This kit has the biggest pre-order request of any football kit ever produced. Though it is not to my liking either, it clearly hits a chord with a great many.
I believe the largest order by far was from a Nigerian prince who is trapped in a tower and wants 5000 shirts delivered to a garage lock up after which he can pay from the £15m inheritance he has just received ?
I like it, it’s good to see something different and not just a basic template. I think it is perfect for a World Cup but not for a domestic season kit.
Early kit leak isn't looking very promising. And I'm pretty sure a condition of Holebas' new contract was him having input into the design.
Not roomy enough in the crotch area. I think it's high time we went for a design modelled on Elton's costume from his 1974 appearance at Vicarage Road..
I did wonder if anyone would spot it! Of course, The S*n (& Martin Samuel from the Daily M*il) are up in arms about it because they say it's anti-Bee and the world will implode if the Hornets take over.
I have a very sneaky suspicion that the new kit will be announced alongside Deulofeu signing. Feel like we did something similar last year with Chalobah? Just seems to be the way a lot of clubs do the new shirt reveal nowadays.
New kit being released Monday. Have been informed that away shirt is red. Home shirt is yellow, and may or may not have some other colouring.
Is red our most effective away strip points wise? Any idea in how many times we are obliged to wear it?
We had red away kits going back to the 1970's. 60's and 80's were white.. and since the 90's there's been no set colour. I'd like to see a retro kit based based an old kit of ours sometime. Something like this mock up, which is based on our mid 80's kit..
You think so? The kit it's based on is an all time classic. Each to their own.. but i would say the diagonal divider should be thinner and in yellow. Here's a pic of the original.. with the away black shorts (for Bassett) though i think this was the only occasion they were worn together. PS This design came 36th in a list of the 50 greatest ever football shirts.. Well according to this blog anyway.. http://50gfse.blogspot.com/2015/07/36-watford-1985-88-home-shirt-by-umbro.html
So is it unveiled today or was that just a guess? Normally the club build these things up with little reveals on social media and then launch it much later than every other club in the country don’t they?
