2013-14 Soccer kits

[Edubdesign]

Bayern Munich have already unveiled a special Oktoberfest kit, now it's the turn of TSV 1860 Munich to get in on the stein quaffing fun with their own themed kit...

Can't say I'm a fan, to be honest.

Should be a keeper kit, since that jersey looks like great net camouflage.

You'll never see the keeper coming if he's wearing that.

[TorinK92]

I actually quite like that kit. Looks sort of how I'd imagine an old-fashioned German kit to look.

[Digby]

Shorts don't seem to match the shirt though!

[Saintsfan]

I think there will be less monochrome than some Internet rumours suggest. Although if I remember correctly the World Cup is one place where any clashes in kit colours means a change, so monochrome happens more than is really necessary. (Does it really matter if teams are wearing the same colour shorts? Really?)

I don't know but it bugs me to no end whenever two teams' shorts are the same colour.

The Arsenal/Swansea matchups with both teams in white shorts the last couple of years have been brutal.

However, the FA Cup tie last year was much more watchable with Swans in black shorts.

Villa used to wear claret shorts when visiting a blue-on-white team (i.e. Everton) and while I don't think we do anymore, claret and blue shorts have both been made the last couple of years. I just hate shorts being the same colour—it's an unnecessary strain IMO.

Some teams suit switching just a piece of kit better than others. It never looks right when Arsenal do it, or any team in stripes, but Man United for instance do it resonably often and look ok, I suppose.

Not sure if I like the blue houndstooth thing going on, but hey. Not bad overall.

Yep, Under Armour have done well for Tottenham this year. I think the Spurs home kit might just be my favourite premier league kit this season, and both change kits are fine.

I got linked the USMNT "leak" and knew it was a fake. Those looked awful, and a leak would be an actual picture.

Plus, red and white hoops are the best.

Holland WC14 Away:

If legit, I rather like it (other than the border around the lion).

Is this the first Nike WC14 leak?

Not if the previously leaked Portugal kit is legit.

Oh yeah, forgot about that one.

Here is a pic:

Side vents, neck line, inside of neck, inside of sleeves and tags look the same. Could be legit and I really like both.

Man I really like those holland kits if legit.

Still dont buy the Portugal ones, looks like a training shirt. Hopefully that's the case. They've been very simple and classy recently.

It might not be legit, but it is not a training shirt. Nike training shirts have rounded necks and don't have shoulder tape.

That 1860 kit is awesome for a special kit. I really like the shirt pattern.

This 3rd kit is so damn sexy. I'm definitely grabbing this shirt this year.

Swansea wore plain white numbers that looked like stripped down Premier League numbers in their Europa League match today.

Perth Glory - macron

I don't mind it, but that collar really doesn't do it for me. Would prefer it to be solid purple. Then again it does tie into the sock stripes. I just don't like the unfinished look it has at all.

[TorinK92]

So why did Warrior get chosen over Macron for bigger name teams again?

[RyanMcD29]

I'm gonna have a hard time choosing between Spurs' away and third jerseys this Christmas. Same with Dortmund and their twenty different yellow kits, but that's another story for another day

[nas1787]

I thought the A-League was all adidas? Can clubs choose their manufacturer?

[-kj]

Yeah, they went away from the exclusive deal quite a few years ago. They were all-Reebok early on; not sure if they switched to adidas before the change of policy. Perth were outfitted by Blades prior to this switch to Macron.

adidas: Sydney, Melbourne V, Wellington

ISC: Newcastle

Kappa: Adelaide, Central Coast, Melbourne H

Macron: Perth

Nike: Western Sydney

That's not bad for Perth, aside from the collar. Perth is generally one team that just can't manage to look good.

Barcelona has unveiled this black third that they'll wear this year. I'm predicting that it will be in the running for best-selling shirt worldwide. It's both Barça and oh-so-cool BFBS. Tell me I'm wrong.

I would disagree. I bet their other shirts sell more than this one. BFBS in the consumer realm is running its course and Barca have done a black shirt recently, have they not?

True enough.

Kit manufacturers bid on the contracts. Liverpool was getting £12 million a year from Adidas under their old contract, and then Warrior came in and blew them away with £25 million a year guaranteed. Pretty easy choice for Liverpool.
