Someday, someone will explain exactly why Nike are so bad at designing kits. But until that day comes, we'll just have to find ourselves asking the question every year 'why?'
Another season, another rubbish kit. Only this time, it's supposed to be a tribute to the 1909 FA Cup final kit. Nike, in fine tradition, ballsed this right up, and produced something that bears only a vague resemblance to that kit. In that it's got a V on it, and has sleeves and a hole for your neck.
Although the pictures have been doing the rounds for a while, we can now officially deride the kit, which will no doubt go on to sell billions. Why people feel they must own the latest kit even when it looks awful bemuses this writer, but own it they will.
Fortunatly though, this monstrosity appears to be just a one year kit, which ordinarily would be a bad thing, but anything that gets rid of it sooner rather than later is good in my view. Unlike when Umbro did a 1 year kit though, I doubt this will be discounted.

I like the shirt and fuck off to anyone who thinks they have a superior taste than me.
ReplyDeletePutting it politely.
You are free to like the shirt, but many fans, this writer included do not. I've heard plenty of 'It looks rubbish, but I'll buy it anyway' comments.
ReplyDeleteAt least you are buying it because you like it, as odd as I find it.
