gordie_delini Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 So I have been envisioning what next years' kits might look like from Nike. I created a new template style, similar to what's being used this season, but with a few changes - a standard collar (which I may change), slightly different side gussets (that go under the arm as well) and shoulder gussets. C&C Welcome, and I'll also take requests.ARSENAL:CELTIC:INTERNAZIONALE DI MILANO:PARIS-SAINT-GERMAIN:PSV EINDHOVEN: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzzaf Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I dare say you wouldn't be too far off the mark with what you have here. In my opinion Nike will ride the simplicity wave as long as they can/want. It got them a good reception in the world cup and subsequently the team kits they have released.Now, onto the kits. I known people here don't care for the template look but they way you have made these means that the template is not the primary feature of the concept. You've been able to integrate the template into a tradtional design seamlessly so you have no overall complaints on my behalf.I'd prefer to see those shoulder gussets extended to the bottom of the sleeve though. It just looks a little odd to have them stop so abruptly where the sleeve begins, especially on the designs where you have the gussets recoloured. Also, I know you are going for consistency but the numbers on PSV are difficult to read. I'd consider changing the number font to one with a solid outline so the number stands out more.But overall these are solid progressions of current kits and it would not surprise me one bit to see at least one of the kits looking like this next time the new ones are rolled out. Outstanding work as per usual, Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmered Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Are they responsible for the crazy socks that a few teams are starting to wear?Like BarcelonaI think we'll be seeing more of this in the near future.

Moser316 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Awesome look for Celtic, but why change the style of the current away kit? I don't know if I've ever seen Celtic wear yellow as an away strip (not that I've paid attention to much other than the hoops), but I do know that the current away kit references something worn in the 1960's-1970's.

koizim Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Awesome job! My one problem is with the yellow Arsenal kit. Maybe you change the blue to green (like when they were sponsored by O2). Blue makes it look too much like a Ukraine jersey. Also can you do some national teams with this template? That'd look pretty cool. Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back on the scene, crispy and clean, You can try, but then why, 'cause you can't intervene. We be the outcast, down for the settle. Won't play the rock, won't play the pebble.

Arsenal rotates between a yellow/blue one year and then all blue the next. No green. Period.And sure, I can do some nationals - which ones would you like to see?

Gazzzaf Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I'm pretty sure they used a green kit for a short while in the 80's. I can't find any evidnce of this at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telemundo219 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Is there a uniform template??? College sports as we know them are just about dead. The lid is off on all the corruption that taints just about every major program and every decision that the schools or the NCAA make is only about money, money, and more money. We'll have three 16+ team super-conferences sooner rather than later, killing much of the regional flair and traditional rivalries that make college sports unique and showing the door to any school that doesn't bring money to the table in the process. Pretty soon the smaller schools are going to have to consider forming their own sanctioning body to keep the true spirit of college sports alive because the NCAA will only get worse in it's excess from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the national teams, I'd love to see France because the new logo deserves a new jersey, but ohterwise its up to you.

scottysprings Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 As a big soccer fan I have to say I love these. The template is great and execution of the design is flawless. Where did you get all of the sponsor vectors? Koizim, France is currently sponsored by Adidas but it would still be nice to see them in Nike.

However, I'm open to other Nike national squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koizim Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 In a more perfect world Adidas would cut ties with France after the Zidane incedent and Nike would swoop in and get rid of the awful France home kit. Oh well, we can still dream.How about new kits for Portugal or Brazil? Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up!

scottysprings Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 If you have the time, I'd say a Holland and Mexico kit are of need. I detest the new Holland kit and the Mexico kit looks great but it has a lot more potential. One more thing, where did you get the jersey font?

I can't find any evidnce of this at the moment.That's correct, Arsenal did wear a green away kit for a short time in the mid 80s. I did manage to find one picture on the Toffs (retro shirt sales) website at http://www.toffs.com/invt/1403, but that's the best I can do. They certainly haven't worn green in the O2 days though.Good luck tracking down a genuine green Arsenal shirt these days - it would be worth a lot of money.
