I remember back in the 60’s and 70’s the strip almost looked black under the floodlights. The days of shades of pink and red are thankfully gone for good! See I disagree here I think the 70s strips are FAR closer to the 2012 maroon than the current purplish one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taffin Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Love it. Will buy it. It's a cracker, proper maroon too. Badge still a different shade though...and not mad on the MND logo, but it's a great cause so happy days.

PhoenixHearts Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) As far as the goalkeeper kit is concerned, it's not bespoke or anything. We'll have just picked that white one out of a few different colours ad it best contrasts our dark home kit. Umbro produce about 4 maybe 5 colourways each year for their keeper kits. So far they've released our white one and the dark bottle green one for West Ham... can't see us picking that as one of our 3 keeper kits. Hoping for a black one with the away myself. Edit: did some digging on the Dynamo Dresden shop and found a 3rd colour. Reckon we'll definitely use that as one of our 3.

If you’re slim I’d say the L is closer than last year though. This is the one thing I hate about the shirts every year, they constantly change the size and fit, and it's never consistent. Guranteee the away shirt will be a different fit to the home. When you're spending £50+ on them, the size gamble is one I don't like taking.

Pasquale for King Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Like the GK strip and the home strip even though it’s not exactly “new”. I thought the 2012 kit might’ve been one of the replica strips they've been selling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Home is what I always want - proper maroon and plain so happy with shelling out on that for Zico Junior. Keeper strip is crap but nothing compared to the monstrosities Henry got foisted on him in the early nineties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkDevriesScores4 Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I like the new home kit. The collar ain’t great imo but overall I’m pleased. Agree, a reverse for the away would be my choice. Bored of baby blue away kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Once again Umbro deliver the goods. I have ordered mine already. I don't like this top quite as much as last season's but that's a high bar because I really liked last season's strip. This strip is really nice too though. Thumbs up from me.

Shooter McGavin Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 I like the too, just wish the collar was the same size all the way around. Has anybody been keeping an eye on the 12 months of retro tops the club are releasing? Would love a retro top for the European trips, but the current one is a howler!
