I don't go for kit & I quite agree that they are ****. Somebody bought me the '73 cup final shirt which is actually made from cotton & I like it.
Retro away I always loved, Rowell, Elliott era. from memory I think QPR with Tommy Doc as manager had to borrow that away kit at Roker one season when we couldn't,t buy an away win, anyway kept the form in that shirt and we won! Wondered what was up when what we thought was us running out 1st and in our away kit
I've still got my original blue retro away top from back in the day - far too small these days but I'm not about to get rid. My favourite though was the gold away shirt we wore in the play off final against Charlton. I've also got a tattered old silk scarf my gran bought me for my birthday in 73 -it's clearly not silk but that's what we called them back then. Haven't bought anything new for years now.
Why do the kit manufacturers keep ****ing about with them? We play in red & white stripes, just keep it simple ffs. AND MAKE THEM OUT OF COTTON YOU ADIDAS ****ERS NOT THIS NYLON ****!!!!!!!!
You ever read the story of ADIDAS? A quick shortened version..adidas v puma. Two of the world's most renowned shoe companies were birthed from a bout of bad blood between siblings. In the 1920s, German brothers Adolf and Rudolf Dassler launched a shoe company together in their mother's laundry room. Their business boomed after Dassler shoes adorned the feet of gold-medal-winning Olympians in the 1930s. But as their sales spiked, so did the tension between the two brothers. World War II proved the breaking point in their relationship. While no one is sure what caused the riff, it's said to be a result of miscommunication. After an Allied bomb attack, Adolf and his wife took cover in a bomb shelter already occupied by Rudolf and his family. "The dirty bastards are back again," Adolf said, apparently referring to the planes, but Rudolf thought the comment was an attack against his family. By the war's end, the brothers had split the company and waged a war of their own — in the business arena. Adolf, who preferred to be called Adi, named his business Adidas, combining his first and last names; Rudolf tried the same with his firm called Ruda, though he later changed it to Puma. It's said that the brothers never spoke again, and their bitter rivalry even divided the town of Herzogenaurach, where they built their competing factories on the opposite banks of the town's river. It wasn't until September 2009, long after the brothers' deaths, that the companies put aside their feud and faced off in a friendly game of soccer — an appropriate meeting for two companies who've become independently famous in the field of sports shoes.
I've got the 1978 retro away, which i sometimes wear when back for matches. I have a modern grey polo, with red trim, for golfing....decent cotton. I donned it for the first time yesterday, my first (seriously belated) game of the season and shot a 79 - I'll be getting some more lucky golfing tops!!
I know about the new away kit, can't say much, doesn't do well to break trust this early. But what I will tell you it's a two tone template, same colour in different shades.
I got the '73 Final shirt and love it. My old shirt collection went back a while, but the old gut has rendered some of them useless, so I just have a couple now.
The strips are daylight robbery Haven't bought one in years I also avoid buying the training gear that has the sponsor's name on it as well. Looks tacky and dates quicker
I love that training top Funky and will be buying that..I will also be buying the home tops for my lads, and may get one for myself as well.
That looks good for golf. Gus was snapped in a white one like it last year but I couldn't find it on-line. Any excuse to show the badge!
