Parma hit on that design just as they entered their most celebrated period (Buffon, Thuram, Cannavaro, Veron, Crespo, Dino Baggio, Bennarivo, Ricky Church...) and this, as their online ad is making clear, is a deliberate attempt to align the modern Parma footballing entity with that heritage now it's back in Serie A. It was originally intended as the away kit, but it was so popular and iconic it became the main kit. When Buffon wasn't using it as a goalie shirt.

In the early 90s they went a bit Leeds and occasionally attempted a geometric yellow-blue mix with equally startling results.
And to the "custard splat" design of the Southend United 1996-98 home shirt.

I think I’ve told the story before but that yellow splat on the Southend shirt was literally sketched on the back of an envelope by their chairman to get around ubiquitous sponsor Telewest’s complaints about their green logo not showing up on blue.

The Parma design and the Oldham one aren't just similar, they're actually identical (I've just noticed!), Umbro didn't exactly strain themselves on this one...

It speaks to the standard of sports journalism in Scotland that when Celtic unveiled that horror show above, the main headlines weren't "eeuuuuurrrgh that's a fucking minging shirt, what were they thinking?" but instead "oh my god, Celtic have got a tiny bit of blue on their shirts!" due to the Ford-punting sponsor...

To help us separate this year’s most fashionable from the biggest kit fails, we spoke to kit connoisseur and designer Marlon Feeney-Thompson, also known as Settpace.
The 24-year-old designs concept and real world kits for sportswear brands and video games, often integrating designer brands and elements from fashion to level-up a team’s look.
Although he is right about the Saints kit.

Leeds supporters' reaction to the new third kit has, eventually, been favourable after a few hours of "What... on... EARTH...".
One fan suggested the pattern reminded them of a famous photo of one of Yeboah's volleys. If you screwed your eyes up. Quite a bit.

Isn’t it a green third kit as opposed to the blue change? Or are the photos I’ve seen on the BBC site misleading?Last edited by Ray de Galles; 11-08-2018, 12:58.
