The West Ham white kit is horrendous. All whited out apart from the betting sponsor in bold black.

[Dim Glas]

Apparently that West Ham shirt is available to buy without the sponsor, so from a fan perspective, it’s probably a cool shirt to get!

But yeah, it look awful with that sponsor.

When I read this, it reminded me of Half a Shilling from Phoenix Nights.

West Ham's unsponsored shirt

Not sure if they've had a mention, but Bologna's new home and away shirts are things of beauty.

Yep these are fantastic.

Not sure if the link will work as I'm pretty useless at doing these things. It's the new Hearts 3rd strip to commemorate their founding 150 years ago in 1874.

Think the sponsorless West Ham jersey is fabulous

That is a fabulous kit! The video is so good too!

Seems reasonable. And Slavia’s idea seems great, although is also obviously open to corruption.

Just read this on the BBC feed.

Well played FC Copenhagen.  I hope every club follows suit.

Never mind the entitled daytrpper kids, I’ve seen more than my fair share of grown adults with these shitty signs at LFC games.

Worse than selfie sticks, Wanker Hats and half and half scarves IMO.

‘Unsponsored’ with a big fuck off JD sports logo on the side to ruin it. Nice.

I hope they're 100% cotton. Just like the Yankees in Seinfeld.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Now we're talking

Roma away kits are always great when they go with this colour. And the home kits are generally always great regardless.

Don't really get those "invisible" badge kits. Surely the badge is the most important part of the kit otherwise it's just a shirt with weird colours and design. Why would you want to make the badge in a way that it can barely be seen? Don't get it. It would make sense, if you're doing it as a one off for a reason like having a special sponsor that's for some good cause and you want to give them more attention and use that for PR. Could for example have seen barca doing it with unicef or something like that.

Love it

Those are atrocious kits.

Class that.

[red1977]

Got a mate here who works for a top sports brand, she says kits cost less than 10 usd a piece to make and sell at 90 usd. 80%, 85% margin on some shirts, Most probabbly know this already, but to hear the numbers from her, its disgusting really.

Its the same with any item of clothing, or any item of....anything, really. In the world we live in with high quality Chinese fakes to keep the kids happy I don't really see it as an issue. The only people buying the real thing these days are those with the cash to afford luxuries like a football shirt.

Margins don't work that way.

Cant say i'm up on my margins, but she said 80, 85% margin on some shirts.

Last season saw a grown man having a meltdown down because his precious sign for after the game  had mysteriously disappeared.

It's scandalous. I was at Anfield the other week and the new shirts were going for £75 for a fan version and £115 for a replica of the player version. That's before those who are interested in such things get names, numbers and patches applied to it. It's beyond crazy for what is essentially a cheap product often made from old recycled plastic bottles.

I really can see why so many now buy fakes. Kits are throwaway products these days. Current for a single season only, yet going for premium prices.

A baby Liverpool kit for 3-6 months is best part of £60 when you get name number etc. That's just something they can use for 3 months if lucky.

I think we often become desensitised to the rip-off world we live in, but walking into a football club store (any club) really brings it home to you.

I don't mind getting it - but you'd think as its not even for a year they can wear it. They'd take that into account

Anyone paying full price for a footy top is a mug, especially when that top will only be "in fashion" for a year.

Yeah, especially if the money from the purchase of legitimate gear ends up in the hands of our owners to spend on a midfielder.

My son just bought the home shirt from 2 seasons ago for a tenner. He still wears any old ones he can still fit in so I don’t begrudge buying one a season because he does wear them to death. He’s gutted that he’s outgrown our title winning home shirt.
