officeglenn Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 We're starting to see leaks of next season's kits for European soccer leagues, so it's probably time to start up a new thread for 2020-21. Β Probably the biggest change will be Liverpool switching to Nike after a protracted legal battle where New Balance sought to keep the contract, but ultimately failed. No leaks from Nike yet, but I'm sure something is in the works given Liverpool's status. Β Also, there are a few details floating around about Arsenal's kits. It appears the home kit will feature a darker red than this year's, possibly with a chevron pattern. Β Β The away kit is rumoured to be "cloud white" with red trim. It's not unprecedented for Arsenal to wear white away kits, but as Arseblog points out, it might be uncomfortably close to our North London rivals. Β The third kit is where things get really interesting. Images have surfaced online of merchandise in a highlighter yellow-navy blue-pink colour scheme (see below). How these will be arranged to make an aesthetically pleasing kit, I do not know.Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andregunts Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 so non European club teams (MLS, South Americans. etc) will have a different thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gothamite Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Yeah, this does seem to be a very bad idea. Β Β If they want to go different to celebrate 1905, why not wear the 1905 color?

Digby Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Chelsea wore red away through the 70s and 80s, so there's some precedent here. But it's been so long that it seems likely to be a headscratcher to most people at this point.

Jaffa Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Word is that Serie A is consideringΒ a standardised name and numbers font from next season... Β EDIT: Ah, this is interesting as well - an Italian journalist has noted that there's set to be a ban on coloured backgrounds forΒ sponsor logos, such as the horrid red block on the Napoli shirt. I don't know how reliable his sources are, mind. Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I guess this should technically go in a yet-to-be-created 2020/21 megathread, butΒ according to FootyHeadlines, this will be Tottenham's home kit next year: Β It's not good! I guess when we were granted our wish to break free of Nike's templates, it was one of those monkey's paw scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroCree Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I just like that Nike's bringing back normal collars instead of those trapezoids they were using for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waffles Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 And now a leak of Tottenham's fourth (!?) kit: Β I'm not crazy aboutΒ the centered logo and swoosh, but besides that I don't hate the design. Β What I DO viscerally hate is that this is inspired by a Nike shoe. Not byΒ Tottenham's club heritage or by the culture or features of theΒ surrounding area, but a shoe once made by theΒ company that currently makes the uniform, a shoe which has no unique relationship to the team as far as I can tell. It really sucksΒ when uniform manufacturers put their identity ahead of that of the club's like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digby Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 The revival of godawful chunky 90s sneakers is the worst trend going right now, and it's awful that Nike is forcing that on unrelated football clubs.

The collar is OK, but the shoulders/sleeves and lightning bolts suuuuuuuck. Β Β I, too, like that gray kit save for the centered swoosh and crest. Why??
