Would look better if the badge was in maroon. A subtle nod to the old kit. 

 

I highly doubt it would be that though.

Wondering if we'll get a special keeper kit to go along with the 3rd?

 

Surely can't have the team walking out in some lovingly crafted heritage number and Gordon in highlighter yellow head to toe?

 

@dannymack blink twice.

Beautiful but wrong crest

I like that crest, makes it look like the original from the 1870s but aye I'm pretty sure the "special" third kit will use the 150th badge.

Yeh I really liked how it was done. Fusing the two badges together, past and present.

The more I see our new home kit the more I hate it. Those white lines on the arms really bug me more than they should. Training top at best

 

Hope this 3rd kit helps make up for it slightly as our 2 kits so far have been the worst I've for a long time, very disappointing being the 150 year anniversary.

That will be next season, but the 3rd kit is for 2 Seasons, so i am hoping for great things...

I don’t like it either.  It’s lazy, the bricks look shite imo and the material makes the colour look off.  
 

it’s nearly brown it sucks in so much light.

When you see it next to last season’s strip it looks cheap and nasty. Last season’s strip was a thing of beauty.

All about opinions tbh. I think last seasons kit had one of the worst collar designs we've ever had. That's maybe a bit of an exaggeration, but why couldn't they just make it a plain round neck?

Why the little vicars collar cutout?

I think Umbro are running out of ideas and inspiration for travel, warm up and training wear. I see Burnley and Luton Town amongst others having more or less the same colourways this season as they have given us. No doubt West Ham and maybe Brentford will get other options as they will have bigger sales no doubt.

Umbro are getting worse. They done well last season, this season has been utter shite and pretty much every top before last season by them has been poor to mediocre at best

Hopefully. Mate is a huge Burnley fan, their tops have been pure pump as well. They just stick the club crest on stock designs and sell £10 tops for £50 it's shocking.

Did you see earlier in the thread that they are trying to sell tops where you can still see the old gazprom sponsor under the new one? 

So so poor.

The black top was a cracker to be fair and a few of the earlier home efforts were very nice, other than that though I have to agree

I'm a big fan of black tops, it was decent. Not a huge fan of the collar but did look good overall. Would love if we had more in the future.

Umbro across the board just seem poor, reusing the same designs for different clubs. The quality is good but that's it.

I dont think Umbro can be accused of issuing 'template' playing kits. Most clubs will get 3 unique playing kits every season. All the other non playing kit is very similar, with the exception of their larger club partners.

To be fair, what's the alternative? Chuck a couple of million tops into landfill and start again? 

 

At least they're reusing them!  And the link that was posted was for an old top that would have been hastily covered up, and reduced to clear.

Not true at all. Burnley have had bespoke designs every season as have all major Umbro teams.

 

Are you talking about their training gear?

That's not an Umbro problem, that's a Schalke problem. Umbro produced the kits for Schalke with the Gazprom logo.

Schalke ended their deal with Gazprom due to events involving Russia.

It was late Feb/March when they cancelled the partnership, far too late in the season to produce blank kits.

 

Schalke were left with a batch of Gazprom sponsored kits.

They printed the new sponsor hastily over them, not Umbro.

M&M Direct picked them up on the clearance market.

 

If you're going to criticise Umbro at least criticise them for something within their control.

That's absolutely class. Barca have been releasing some rotters in recent years but they're bang on with that one.

 

I wonder if their fans are happy with the rather Real Madrid-like shirt though. Also, they're charging 100 euros for the shirt, 80 euros for a kid's shirt. To hell with that!

Well unless we sign a new deal with Umbro this is the last year.

They're absolutely crap. Upside down badges obviously grab the headlines but the general quality is just poor.

They're absolutely rotten. There's about 30 Castore kits I can think of and only about 3 are half decent looking. The few I've seen in real life are made of really shoddy material you'd expect on a ProStar kit.

They might as well say Lonsdale on them.

 

I understand they're still fairly new to the game and they've been making incremental improvements each season but until they sort out their quality and production issues and find a cohesive design style that isn't all over the place, I'd steer clear.
