the modern age needs more dazzle ship-inspired kit designs.

i am, to a certain extent, with nbs. however my shirt nazi policies are different. any team who plays in red and white who aren't the arsenal can gtfo, as well as any team in white because spurs. blue has to be italy blue to work, it is rare anyone else pulls it off although france do well once every other kit. i like stripes tbh but loops can usually gtfo. check designs are usually awesome, although that chelsea one is carrying on a chelsea away kit disaster trend. if you put any shit on your shirt to try and change with tradition, it better be something fucking awesome because usually it looks like piss or shit stains a retarded child has used to decorate your stripe. if it is luminous, you are the fucking worst. stripes have to be chunky and full (wtf barca) unless you are udinese who can get away with looking like actual barcodes on account of not wanting to look like juve. 2 sponsers at most and if you try to hide them, hell i don't care how bad your kit is, i'll kind of respect you. i'm a sucker for the diagonal sash type kit. i'm a sucker for the one or two stripes down the side type kit, although they haven't really been seen since the nineties (except on lyon shirts.) if your shirt is green, your shirt is the worst.

of course all those rules can be broken, but you'd have to be wearing a fucking awesome shirt to do so.

Yeah, these are both good. Also, I've decided there aren't enough purple kits out there (like Fiorentina). A purple and black striped kit would be good.

Neither of your policies address dragons, crucial omission.

Also lightning type effects - usually well done imo (look at Juve's away kit last year iirc).
I also like when kits try to make the middle of a kit look interesting or use their badge somehow and oft combine these things - look at that recent scotland kit with the large badge fading into the background or the turkey, i think, kit where they used their badge like the sponser.

since it's the last year of the contract between puma and spurs, they may have decided to not put in any effort, but this is exactly what a spurs home shirt should look like imo

Can you buy shirts without the sponsor?

wow that is fly
― caek, Friday, 17 June 2011 15:02 (thirteen years ago) link
there were some spurs shirts last year without the sponsor for some reason. a better bet is to buy training tops which usually are a different design but are cheaper and don't have a sponsor.
― mizzell, Friday, 17 June 2011 15:04 (thirteen years ago) link
If you're going to have no fewer than three pumas on your shirt you might as well add a financial services company or w/e. Like that collar a lot.
― boxall, Friday, 17 June 2011 15:07 (thirteen years ago) link
My local sports shop is selling some crazy Arsenal polo shirt thing with really thin black & white hoops and purple detailing elsewhere. If it wasn't for the badge you'd never know it had any connection with them at all.

very very very very rarely should badges ever be in the centre. i didnt think i had any nazi diktats about kits but this is probably one

More than MTV, Thatcher, Adam and the Ants or whatever, the first time I saw the early 80s Spurs Le Coq Sportif kit with the centred badge was, for me, the precise moment the 80s began.

In fact there is a Carmodic thesis to be written on The Death Of The Admiral Kit era, imo.

I was nosing about in a proper sports shop, where they have individual price lists for each shirt, when I noticed that some of the shirts were available in 'player's version' (or something like that, I forget the term) for £90, as opposed to 'replicas' at circa £45. This was a new distinction on me.
I had the guy talk me through the difference - he brought out two Brazil shirts and showed me that the ventilation panelling was different, the fabric was supposedly a tighter weave (I couldn't tell) and the normal nice embroidered badge was replaced by a sticky transfer to cut down chafing. Frankly, the difference seems negligible, and where you can see it the replica's better.
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 23 August 2011 21:32 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I saw some of those 'player's version' shirts in the LFC shop the other day. The regular home shirt is £45. The 'Player edition' techfit shirt is £100.
I've managed to find some people to have a kickabout with on another forum. I was looking for a nice, cheap shirt, but ended up getting a Barca training t-shirt for £13 instead. It was that or a long-sleeve Sweden shirt for £15, but I don't fancy standing out in that yellow - I've not played for ages and am probably going to be a bit rusty.

think this must have been a Brazil-only deal, custom-designed for Anderson.
