New Kits 2018/19

SebastianBlue said:
Because the goal of the kit designer is to create a shirt that is just different enough to possibly warrant supporters purchasing a new one next year, whilst making it as cheap to produce as possible.

Quality designs are not the focus, as much as we would like them to be (or should be, ideally).

What they dont seem to realise is that, if the shirt are a quality design to City fans, then they will sell a lot more than the mass produced identi-kits. You only have to see how many of this seasons berry away kit has been on show.
 
Have the club released the real kit yet instead of the obvious piss take that is that buttoned bastard?

It looks okay but ignores Barca tradition and has far too many stripes.

tbf barcas kit changes style all the time but keeps the core colurs and only changes to red shorts for a special reason

United (scum) have a usual template. Red white black. There away kits are usually either white, dark blue or black , not always granted but more often than not.

So why cant we have a template too. Away and 3rd kits should be either red and black stripes or maroon.

And that should be our ‘colours’

I agree with what you're saying, but funnily enough, United are apparently having black shorts and socks as first choice next season.
 
It’s very odd how every single summer (no disrespect to them by calling them this) randomers in twitter come up with far better designs than any of the big brands can muster up, and they’re spread all over the internet, then lo and behold the kits are released and they’re absolutely dreadful.

Not odd at all, fans on twitter design one kit they dont need to produce thousands of. Where nike have to produce loads of kits with production running into millions. Now they could and should do a lot better but they aren't going to give us a bespoke kit, it will always be some sort of template that can be run of a production line.

oh f*ck off. that has zero to do with that. because i've seen shirts which is 100 % sky blue, could be made of cheapest material ever and it still would look thousand times better than what nike comes up with.

Design and material sourcing are two different things.

What @blueparrot, I and several others are talking about is the simplification of designs to templates that allow for only slight modification (change collar, change sleeve colour, change main body print patterns) so as to be passed of as “unique” to each club and their ‘istree, while really being for the purpose of easy manufacture at scale.

Just thinking about kits I've seen and I cant think of any club that use Nike that get a unique design. I know we did with umbro. Just wonder how far down the chain we would need to go and how much less we would need to accept to get a company that would do that. Dont think Adidas would , Puma?

Not Puma, either—see Arsenal and Dortmund.

Honestly, probably to Mitre, Joma, or back to Umbro.

Unfortunately, the club will want the largest deal possible, so it is extremely unlikely we will get a manufacturer that will give us anything near the beautiful kits (I own all of them) we got from Umbro in the “golden” period.

Thats what I thought. Shame but I suppose it is what it is.

Just seen. Awful.

But id still like us to have a tad more identity with the change kits. Rather than the generics

I totally agree with you, I’ve been banging that drum for years.

Blue shirts, white shorts, non-negotiable. And blue socks, preferably navy ;-)
