I know around here we (the Revolution fanbase) were not particularly fond of the 2010 home kit when it came out because we felt they were trying to emulate the look of the Patriots, especially with the addition of silver which had never been a part of the primary kit color scheme at any point in their existence.

Conrad. Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Need to spread those stripes all the way across the front, imo. It's a downgrade from this season's kits, but it's not terrible. Red Goat Creations :: Graphic Design Solutions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 ^Yeah, I'm actually warming up to it quite a bit. Obviously this season's is considerably better, but I don't mind the direction they took for next season's at all. As far as experimental designs go for Barça's home kit, I'd say this is one of the better ones in recent memory. It's certainly better than the 2012/13 kit as well as last season's hooped kit. Plus they've generally alternated between experimental and traditional designs, so the 2018/19 kit will likely return to something more traditional and/or classy. I do agree about the stripes needing to be stretched across the entire front and back, but I'm not too bothered with it as is. Also, here's official photos of the Man City, PSG, Inter, and Roma kits: The photos of the Man City shirt are showing the authentic version, while the images of the PSG, Inter, and Roma shirts are all showing the replicas.

upperV03 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 The first real image of the Juve away shirt has surfaced (credit to Twitter user @DMJFC10). It's a really nice shirt overall, except the blue triangle insert on the collar is rather unnecessary. I wish Adidas wasn't using that detail on so many kits this season. But even with the triangle insert, the shirt should look absolutely gorgeous when paired with blue shorts and yellow socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upperV03 Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Also, here's the authentic version of the Barça kit, complete with shots of the shorts and socks as well: Unlike the first iteration of the Vapor Aeroswift template, it looks like Nike has figured out how to include the full Vapor Aeroswift technology on kits which include graphic elements. With the current iteration of the template, Nike was seemingly unable to implement the full knitted construction on the front and back for kits that had graphic elements in the same areas. That bodes well for the upcoming national team kits since Nike refrained from creating unique graphics for the current kits of their premier national teams so they could instead show off the full Vapor Aeroswift template. I also find it interesting that on this updated version of the template, the contrasting sleeves seem to be more noticeable on the back side since the front features more of a mesh pattern rather than the knitted construction of the back half of the raglan sleeves.

But they got an exclusive contract with Nike. So they'll get the new Aeroswift template. It amazes me how the Bundesliga got 4 clubs with exclusive Nike contracts, but none of them is a top club. (I don't count Leipzig as a top club yet) I'm a simple person, I have a pixelated David Beckham as profile photo since 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be Nike and adidas' MO. Make sure you see the tech in year one, dress it up in year two. Remember adidas' first Techfit kits?
