theflakeband Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I've been bored for quite awhile, so I figured that I would use my new 2013/14 kit templates for a concept series.

theflakeband Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 The Away kit is based off of the 1982 European Cup winning side's kit. Aston Villa HomeAston Villa Away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkleton Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Solid shirts, all stay pretty true to each brand. I like Villas home kit. I'll definitely keep an eye out for your next EPL concepts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxColonels Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 That West Ham away strip is very interesting. Was there anything that specifically inspired the design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffa Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Always nice to see Palace with a sash.For the Hull City shirt, it would be nice to see us with a striped back — white numbering works fine for us, as the contrast between black and amber stripes and white is great enough for the number to be legible.On the socks too, rather than HCFC the full name should be HCAFC — we're very particular about our 'A'.

Fixed it up top. I added the stripes to the back, but I'm still not a big fan of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkleton Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Have West Ham & Palace switched suppliers for the upcoming season or have you just changed them for your concepts? I love the West Ham away kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflakeband Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Have West Ham & Palace switched suppliers for the upcoming season or have you just changed them for your concepts? I love the West Ham away kit!West Ham as well as Fulham, and Southampton have switched to Adidas for the upcoming season. Palace has been supplying their own kits, so maybe a move to the Premier League will allow them to have a real kit manufacturer. I figured that Kappa was a big enough brand that would want to stay in the Premier League. Umbro won't exist very soon, so there is no point in having a team wear Umbro.

Jaffa Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I believe Palace's kits are made by Avec, but are badged as the club's own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflakeband Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 I believe Palace's kits are made by Avec, but are badged as the club's own.Yea you're right, but it's still more worthless than making an Umbro kit. It's like when Blackpool wore Cabrini in the Prem, couldn't a better kit supplier have been found for a Premiership side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marble21 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I love all of these. I know you usually (or used to) spend the majority of your time recreating real life kits onto your templates, so it is nice to see some original concept ideas from you.My favourite aspects:Palace away. Very suitable for them and a nice nod to some of their former shirts.Southampton returning to their more traditional style.The bubbles on West Ham away. I don't think that would ever happen on a real shirt but it is a nice concept and is really well executed.Minor dislikes:Southampton home sponsor might be better off in black.I prefer the stripes on the back of the shirt for Hull.

Deion.Blackwell8 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 These are pretty cool...however I do agree with marble, the Southampton home sponsor should be in black. My opinion on the Hull home...the stripes should cut off where the name/number go like Newcastle's home shirt from this past yearThe only one I really don't care for is the West Ham away. I love the idea behind it....I just start thinking lava lamp every time I look at the shirt though.Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 My opinion on the Hull home...the stripes should cut off where the name/number go like Newcastle's home shirt from this past year.We've had sponsor logos in white reversed out of the stripes in recent years, works quite nice.And just to echo what everyone else is saying, theflakeband - fine work.
