Tom 13830 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I find it inoffensive but I'm not spending £50 on it and I'm not buying a shirt with WONGA! written on it. Unless the home kit is lush. Which it's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 It's not that bad. It's just so... template-ish. Like they've spent 2 minutes choosing what colours to go with and just left it at that. It's not ugly or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13830 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Every shirt we've had under PUMA has been a template apart from the first home shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know mate, and I don't think they even deviate from templates for the likes of BVB either. Just no effort made at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13830 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I think BVB will get the bespoke designs and we will get the ''templates''. We get cheap shite because people buy it in the masses - Shepherd played the same game albeit with a better brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12452 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Aye this years red and Marker pen green ones were Templates you could batch order for Sunday league teams and stuff, bout £20 each, whack a badge and sponsor on it and charge double, Puma couldn't be any lazier tbh. Monroe is right in all they don't even try with the Dortmund kits either, sack of shite tbh. Not that I buy them like but would just prefer the kits to look like they've have at least some effort put in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 They always seem to put in more of an effort for African nations, strangely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12452 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Was the Cameroon 'onesie' from a few year ago a Puma effort? the one that got banned for having a zip on the shoulder, imagine the clip of Jonas in one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asprilla 96 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 It's not that bad. It's just so... template-ish. Like they've spent 2 minutes choosing what colours to go with and just left it at that. It's not ugly or anything. it could be anyone's kit though... I would love to see the yellow away kit come back and find a company that could be arsed to put some effort into designing our strip.

scotty84 0 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Has it already got a Sports Direct tag sale hanging inside it? Pretty much a non-effort away kit there, but I'm far more concerned with the leeks of the home kit, the collar bit looks awful. How they can over-design such a simple job is a joke.

2bias 3 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 New away kit. Meh. (I don't buy them anyway mind, not for years) Very poor effort with that kit. Disappointing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWalrus 0 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Meh. Wouldn't have bought it regardless. The home strip looks black and white, which will help me identify which players are ours. That'll do me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26232 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Has it already got a Sports Direct tag sale hanging inside it? 30% off before it has even gone on sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asprilla 96 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) I honestly believe that we should take more care with our strips. People from here WANT to buy a shirt but more often than not the reaction is a resounding "meh". I know that they will always sell a certain amount of shirts no matter what they look like among the soopafans but there are people like me over the seas with £50 to spunk on something toony that will never get spent. Can you imagine if we hired a designer to make our shirts the coolest looking shirts in football. I would love it if we got known for having kits that other fans would look at with envy. There are no circumstances whatsoever that would make me waste my money on that soulless nylon arse rag. Edited May 14, 2013 by Asprilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They surely must have some input from fans, people outside their company. But then they go and stuff it all up by over-designing kits every season instead of keeping it clean and simple Edited May 14, 2013 by scotty84 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobH 0 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 People get very emotional over what is possibly our away or third kit. It's astoundingly fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGremlin 0 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Puma make Borussia Dortmund's strip and it looks lovely. Our strip this year and that supposed new away top look like dogshit. As a company surely they should know that the nicer the design, the more they can sell. Still have never topped the old grandad collar from 96. I still have mine and it's pretty much in same condition as when I got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how sometimes a product can cross over into the mass market and make a fortune. A simple iconic, cool as fuck, slightly retro, well designed home and away kit could bring in a new player every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hang on - I thought Puma were going to put forward designs to the fans to choose from this year via the club? Or was I dreaming that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 8978 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Isn't the regard the strips are held in affected by the performances on the pitch? The Championship Yellow strip is still liked by some, mainly because we won loads of games in it. Anyway, the people who buy the strips will buy the strips regardless of what it looks like.

They could design the best strip ever, but if we were relegated in it, people would forever think it shit. If we wore this when we won the league, we'd fucking love it.
