Do Nike still do the 'player' ones and the ' fan replica' ones?

used to be a noticeable difference in look and quality, the player ones used to sell around £90 snd the fan replica's £60. Maybe the players ones will look a look better and we get stuck with the crappy ones.

not gonna pay £60 for a pyjama top, so doubt i will pay £90 for a prper looking footy shirt, when we should be getting that at £60

I looked at the England kit last week – the quality of the adult shirts was awful, but the kids kits were much better quality – a noticeable difference in the material of the sky blue sleeves too. The kids shirt had a much more defined white pinstripe on the sky blue background than the adult version.

That is a very good point, it does grate as we know our core colours as long term fans, but it gets lost in rhe constant zig zagging between styles, and I know has been brought up before in this thread.
The thing is that it is the main point that matters and needs to be listened to, the trend to fuck about with the kits was in the 70's when Swales took over, before then we had had blue white trim tops, white shorts blue (possible black)socks for 80 years, and that was our colours, but old weetabix heads era saw, mish mash of kit combos (though fair the main elements were always there) after that we were in the doldrums and were dumped by umbro. As a club and let's be honest took whatever kit supplier wanted us and ended up with some right shite.
Now we are back at the top table and intend to stay there we need one iconic worldwide recognised standard kit combo, just like we did for 80yrs prior to 75, maybe the club want that too but look at sky/navy blue as the core colours or maybe they will revert back to sky/white next season. Either way decide on a set combo and stick to it each season, with the obvious subtle tweaks to keep the manufacturer intrested.

Teams at the top table of English football... don't get fucked about with – lower division cllubs get fucked about with, because they need the revenue a kit manufacture gives them, and often have to 'take it' from the manufacturers to get the best deal. Look at all the League 1 and 2 teams kit history... core colours remain, but they're all over the fucking place. Our kit was like that in the 80's/90's because we were one of those clubs, but when we were at that top table in the 60's it was constant... we're back there now, the colours matter!

Aye that's what I said, the kit was pissed about with because we needed the cash and took whatever shite we were given in the late 90's, 2000's. Now we are back fighting for trophies we should have a set identity blue shirt white shorts

Exactly... and as an example, do you think the Rags, Chelsea, Dippers or the Arse would ever accept these kits from their suppliers?

Would they fuck! Yet that is no more pissing about than we have suffered!

Clothing is the identity of the club? I would think the fans would be the identity of a club.

It's not the identity, but branding and iconography are important to most if not all organizations. Why else would companies spend as much as they do getting it right? Why else would CFG put NYCFC in sky blue and change Melbourne City's colors? In context, that makes the seeming nonchalance about MCFC's shorts colors even more puzzling.

Maybe the change of colours is the clubs doing and not Nike
