Strip Search - Kit Gallery 22/23

I saw this today. Not sure what to say - he was an Arsenal fan, too.

"Concept shirt"

[Bermuda Iron]

I first read that as ‘concept shit’

[caja-dglh]

Clearly fake as the sponsor is not visible enough.

[Hot Orange]

My big issues with it are the collar and cuffs. Both are too wide - the cuffs especially - and the collar has an unnecessary two-colour style.

I thought the same, and it’s a worry with Ipswich apparently moving to Umbro.

I actually like the West Ham kit, the lines on the shoulder remind me of feature decals on a number of classic Tamiya RC buggies, and that's a good thing.

The kit is foul. What is a 'Tamiya RC buggy'? I'm picturing something like this?

RC is remote controlled

Wolves

This image being posted immediately after the Freddie Mercury / Opening Ceremony chat meant all I could think when looking at it was "BAARCEELOOOOONNAAAAAA!!!"

RC is remote controlled

How disappointing!

[Nesta]

I can't post photos, can someone put the new Streatham Rovers home up?

[Simon G]

[Nesta]

Excellent, thanks Simon.

Not too keen on the white arms, but I like the low-key sponsorship and tasteful nods to the club's ethos and history

[andrew7610]

Excellent location choice too

[Eggchaser]

How disappointing!

Sir, if you are going to call the legend that is the Grasshopper "disappointing" then I shall ask you to pick up the gage.

EFL clubs have agreed to use change kits to avoid issues got colourblind fans, which can include asking the home team to change and/or teams mashing up shirts, shorts and socks of their different kits.

Looks like there's going to be guidance about what works and what doesn't, for example, it could say that there shouldn't be matches where both teams wear striped shirts.

I'm going to stick my neck out and say I'm all for this.

[Capybara]

Yes, it's something I'm all for. I'm not colour blind myself, but my brother is, and he has often mentioned his difficulty in distinguishing teams. I'm a bit confused by the wording, though. Everywhere I've seen this reported, the wording is that clubs 'will be able' to change not that they must. Also, they will be able to 'mix and match'. Were they not allowed to do this previously?

[Ray de Galles]

It's alright but a bit dull, I hope Wimbledon get something a bit more interesting from Hummel.

[Guy Profumo]

I may have commented on something similar in the past

But the solution isn't "allow home teams to change their kit", it's order away team to change theirs, and issue an immediate booking to the visiting captain and manager before the game starts if they don't


Bring it in for the Prem too, including serial offenders Man Utd and Liverpool, for example

No, changes of home kit were not allowed, but in extremis the referee can order a change of kit

For example, when Exeter City turned up at Feethams in blue and white stripes (second kit) which clashed with our then black and white kit and changed into our previous season's sky blue third kit before the kick-off


Or when Hull City turned up in a light grey kit, meaning Darlo changed into a red change strip on the side of the pitch

[Guy Profumo]

It's almost like kit manufacturers have a personal grievance against goalkeepers.

Started with the Ajax kit back in the 90s, IIRC?

[My Name Is Ian]

I like that Cambridge shirt. They had those big chevrons in the early 1990s, didn't they? Makes sense, that seems to be where the 'retro' clock seems to have come to a halt, for now. It'll all be string collars and Asics kits that are three sizes too big in a couple of years.

[ad hoc]

I like the Cambridge shirt too. A billion times better than that bus seat crap they had last season

It's clearly a nod to the classic Influence template they wore then but it's just a blandly, boringly executed retro touch. I like nods to clubs past kits but they are a tricky thing to get right.

I much prefer the bold design of the last Cambridge shirt.

I'm more of a Kyosho man myself, but the Grasshopper is indeed a classic.
