New kit
Forums:
So the new kit is upon us in a few hours time.
Over the years I've grown to attach more importance to the kit we wear. Our sponsor is usually a joke or a firm on the brink of insolvency so lets disregard that.
The kit design however can say much about a side. Have we let some snotty post grad design architect loose or have we thought about it?
The adverts today suggest the affiliation to 1904 (our first season at the Boleyn) and I worry.
I'm all for drawing on the past, but I cannot abide round necks and laces on the chest. I really hope it doesn't look like that. I remember Villa having something similar and they looked like refugee pirates.
Also lapels are horrid, so I hope we don't see that. We don't need anything flapping in our faces as we pursue total football.
A classic 60s design, ala Bobby Moore in his pomp would do me. Claret body, blue sleeves, white shorts, white socks.
Less is more and the fans will mop it up.
Look like clowns, play like.....
