Footy kits

Green isn’t really a Liverpool colour is it? Wasn’t it allegedly supposed to have been introduced as part of the Carlsberg sponsorship in 92 (though they played one season before with a green Candy away kit)?

Not 100% sure that’s true but still. All red with white or yellow trim at home. Yellow or white away.

Always preferred the more traditional/simple kits for Warrington too. The current one isn’t bad for a modern rugby kit.

Amps It doesn’t look right to me for Liverpool. Reminds me too much of those awful Souness years.

Rugby league loves a giant V or chevron.

It’s an intentional optical illusion - makes the players look fucking hard with massive chests/shoulders.

Green is literally on the club crest and has been for many years.

Dutch 88 kit was a smasher. There’s also an old ussr one. Can’t remember the year. Will take a look now. Class also.

An attempt to imitate the mighty reds.

Echo And like I said - introduced during the Souness era and a reminder of it.

This was the badge on the first Liverpool kit I had…

86 Dave?

-si- 87 I think. The last Crown Paints one before Candy.

My first one was the red 86 kit, got it for my 8th b’day in may that year. I think it’s the same kit over those two seasons. They moved to candy in 88 didn’t they?

Bolton’s kit has been dire for years now. I know clubs have greater margins on shit kit like Macron, but surely they get less sales than if it was Nike or Adidas - it’s just better for the fans.

-si- There was this one, maybe for a year, inbetween the ones you’re talking about.

White and grey trim and stripes the full length of the sleeve, unlike the 86 one which was white and yellow trim and stripes only on the shoulder.

Apologies, dave, you are right mate. Different collar and the yellow trim on the 86 top.

A footy shirt made from a Peter Stringfellow g-string. Nice

He needs to give Ed his shorts back

Good match for my trabs

If you’ve got it, flaunt it.

New Chelsea shirt boring as fuck

Borussia Dortmund fairly minging. Looks like an early 90s effort from the lower English leagues, one that was made by a shite brand like Matchwinner or Ribero, you know the ones…

The new Chelsea kit is boss.

Pared back and stylish.

A bit like me in some regards.

Smallman1 It suits you because there’s a nice round, simple unadorned collar to accentuate the neck.

Amps Looks like a snide Everton kit you’d get off Greaty.

Yeah, nasty isn’t it? Just doesn’t work.

Pete Doherty once said “there are fewer more distressing sights than that of an Englishman in a baseball cap”. I feel a bit like that about grown men in replica football shirts.

alistair The only time I ever wear one is when your on holiday and head to a bar to watch the football on a Saturday. You get some decent bants if there’re are a few in. I regrettably wore a Bolton shirt the season we got relegated from the Prem in 2012 - took some awful stick that day.
