Gothamite 22,657 Posted August 2 I don’t love their cup font, but Arsenal’s new kit is gorgeous. I’m so glad they bought their way out of the Puma contract. I especially love the red socks, which preserve the perfect balance between the two colors. I thought that might just be something for facing Chelsea, but their online shop only has red socks for sale. Beautiful. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bayne 925 Posted August 2 I don't like the pattern. In general, I just think patterns usually cheapen the integrity of a kit. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GFB 2,000 Posted August 2 I prefer last year’s Arsenal kit because of the brighter red and the absence of the ugly white paneling on the back of the shoulders, but Adidas is running laps around Puma at this point. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see Arsenal wanted to bring in the 'bruised banana 2.0' away kit and applied to home. I see what Adidas is trying to do but it feels gaudy to even when worn on the pitch. Also, their cup font feels medieval for a club inspired by an arms factory founded way before the middle ages. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JayMac 3,338 Posted August 5 I'm sure it may have been mentioned in this thread but I didn't know Everton went with Hummel. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
90reds 28 Posted August 5 I'm sure I've said it before, but I'm really not a fan of teams changing their iconic crest colors to fit one-off alternate kits 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Digby 5,284 Posted August 5 I don't have a problem with it broadly speaking, it's the nature of designing wacky change kits in odd color schemes, but it doesn't seem necessary on that Everton kit? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-kj 2,215 Posted August 5 I like the Everton version; given that the home crest really ends up looking like white lines on the blue kit, this is just blue lines on a yellow kit. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think it works there, I feel like without being the standard blue/white of Everton, it tips that kit's color balance too far yellow. I feel like the shirt needs a hair more blue. And as an Oxford United fan, I am definitely pro yellow football shirts. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wouldn't hurt if the crest is either all blue or white with blue outlines. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-kj 2,215 Posted August 6 This happened back in June, but I didn't see it on the boards anywhere. Looks like a new crest for Stade de Reims: 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
