Our kit for next season has been revealed and to be honest I quite like it. It’s the first one made for us by Warrior in their first venture into Premier League football kits and they’ve done well, at least they have done if it looks as good for real as it does in the pictures. It’s quite plain and I like that, it’s just plain red with a simple new badge and our sponsor in yellow. There is a small flame and a small number ‘96’ on the back in a respectful gesture to the Hillsborough victims though the club and the Hillsborough Justice Campaign disagree on just how much consultation there was between the manufacturers and the families of the bereaved.
I’m a fan of proper green goalkeeper’s kits and I’m pleased to see we have one for next season, ‘keeper’s tops should be green, it’s just the way it is and there is no other colour that could go with the retro style of the new design.
The kit is a big contrast to another one unveiled this week at the other end of the East Lancs with a pretty chavvy gingham pattern and ‘forged in industry, striving for glory’ written on the inside. But this is from a club who have one of the most famous stadiums in world football and still choose to give it a cheesy nickname…….
I don't think Warrior could have got the kit anymore right. Still won't buy one though!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit weird with no white on it but I quite like it, been saying for years we should have just a plain kit and now we have one.
