New Kits 2018/19

@Otamendi's Beard You know the rules...

I probably should know the rules but I've no idea what they are?

Nike has seemingly stopped producing long-sleeves versions of shirts altogether (keeper shirts, excepted).

I suppose the logic behind it is that they have long-sleeve thermal layers available and, if it is cold enough for long-sleeves, it’s likely cold enough for the full layer under the shirt, so why make another version of the shirt few supporters purchase.

I have a few long-sleeve shirts from over the years, though, as I just liked the way they fit.

Same, re the fit. I've got a lot of the Umbro away kits in long sleeves and they're just comfortable, especially in winter.

My favourite is the Black and Yellow one from around 2009.

I heard a while back that our players complained about the Umbro kits because the material wasn't ideal for high intensity sport or warm weather. As beautiful as those kits were, I agreed. Going football training with one of those tops on bust out a sweat within minutes.

Strangely I find that more so with the Nike kits. I suppose it should be described as satiny but it genuinely feels like there is plastic in the material and that doesn't help you when sprinting or on a hot day.

You might be correct about the plastic. Maybe someone else knows more about this but I seem to remember Nike making a big to do about using recycled plastic water bottles in their football shirts.

From the Revised, Abridged Bluemoon Forum Rules V. III (Amended 2011):

‘At such time that “vivid” imagery is referenced within a post, pictures proving the assertions of the referenced imagery must be provided with due haste, or a forum ban shall be enforced of a length not less than one day.’

Not when the camera was zoomed in on players, but when it was the view from the press box - did anyone else think we looked like Inter?

The 2012/13 long sleeve home shirt is one of the best fitting football shirts I own. So comfortable.

Back to the away kit, I thought it look stunning last night. Big fan.

Seen an Orange 3rd Kit on twitter with Grey writing. Not sure if real or concept. Looks pretty official.
