Craig 6308 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Aye, red looks shit, doesn't it? Pretty certain MattM4 did a version of a shirt Shearer was wearing but with red numbers and it looked even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13881 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 One or two??? Every shirt from at least the 50s up until 1993 had red numbers on the back of it - EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM!!! If you buy a retro shirt from toffs they do name and number - red - it looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asprilla 96 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Classic black and white stripes, with red numbers = £££££££££ for LardAsh. Why can he not see it??? Crazy isn't it!? That's what I can't get my head round. A nice retro design like the one Craig posted with red numbers would sell like hot cakes. Very true. Most blokes are pretty much in love with the late 60s and early 70s. Any sports gear from that era generally looks cool as fook. I don't know why they try and over complicate things but it's obviously deliberate. Shame though. They could change the basic look from collar, to no collar, to v-neck, more black, more white and we'd lap it up! Man U have had some really nice simple kits lately tbf. I reckon they'll always sell a certain amount to the die hard fan no matter what the design is but there are probably more floating voters than they realise who'd buy something if it looked a bit cooler. It's almost like they think they will make more money from the obligatory purchase of Name and number consequent of some awful patch rather than actually release a nice shirt. Loads of people would love red numbers again if it meant we could have stripes on the back of the shirt! Wise words Thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Can you still take a shirt down to your local major high street sports store (preferably not Sports Direct) and get a name and number whenever you want? Going to get the home shirt I think but that patch demands a name and number. So yes, I'm going to be a sheep, however I don't see the point in getting a name and number on it now as the player in mind might leave or have his number changed (Ben Arfa especially) during the summer.

Tom 13881 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 The new Chelsea and Liverpool shirts are £35 at Sportsdirect and for some reason our clearly inferior Puma shirts are £40. Nice one Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13881 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 to be fair - that would take revenue away from the club shop. That's still £10 cheaper than the club shop. Anyway here's the new Huddersfield kit by Umbro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Not a fan of that personally. But then I'm not a fan of retro-looking shirts, or any with collars like the above. Still don't 'get' the hate some have for our new kit. Is is simply because of the thick stripes and blank black patch on the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't 'get' the hate some have for our new kit. Is is simply because of the thick stripes and blank black patch on the back? What stripes? The two white ones in the middle? It's a piss poor effort and is not a Newcastle Utd strip. The huge panels on the back is a marketing ploy which we're unfortunately lumbered with so in a way I don't know why I'm that bothered, all our shirts from this day on are going to be shit.

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 You make it sound like adidas didn't deliver some poor efforts too. Not entirely comfortable with the lack of stripes myself, but it's still identifiable as an NUFC top and I like the look of it. It's simple.

Oh and all our shirts from this day on are going to be shit Should've said all our shirts from the first one to have a panel on......'are going to be shit'. And adidas started the rot there. Still doesn't excuse the front of the new one. Anyway, maybe it's an age thing. Don't think we've had a good home one since; Funny enough, out of all the adidas's, umbro's and puma's etc, one of the best home shirts we've had was the asics one.

CleeToonFan 1 Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 What makes it so annoying as a whole is how nice Puma's "African Cup of Nations" shirts ALWAYS are. Bet our away kits nice though, I like Puma as a whole, just not happy with our home offerings... that said, this is really growing on me now out new home 'un Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't 'get' the hate some have for our new kit. Is is simply because of the thick stripes and blank black patch on the back? It's a monochrome Arsenal kit with a couple of white lines painted down the middle. All that's missing is a few cat's eyes on the centre black stripe and it's a fucking road. The Huddersfield kit done in black and white would be class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
