Soccer Club Kits, Vol. 1

Thomas Johnson7 said:Personally, I think all three are quite good, especially the second one. My only real gripe is that purple advertisement.

Honestly, they’re all pretty decent. If I had to rank them, I'd put the second one at the top, followed by the first, and then the third... though I'm not particularly bothered by the color of the sponsor, since it blends in reasonably well. What really gets to me, though, are those massive manufacturer logos plastered all over the sleeves. I honestly don't understand why these Italian brands are so obsessed with making such a statement... whether it's Kappa, Lott, Legea, or Zeus... It feels like the brand is being shouted at you millions of times instead of the actual club being represented... their logos just seem to take over the whole design...

Total disaster. Seriously. Anyway, for all the "experts" out there lurking in the threads—is this actually the first Juventus jersey to feature the club crest?



Looking back at that 1999/2000 season, I’ve got this nagging feeling like they never actually sported a crest on their kits. Does anyone out there happen to remember if that's true? Also, if anyone's a bit of a history buff, could you settle a debate for me—when was the first time Inter and Milan actually stepped onto the pitch wearing jerseys with a club crest?

Chloe White5 said:Borussia switched over to Kappa... not bad, but the second and third options are kind of trash to me...🤷

I mean, look, I kind of dig the second one—it’s got some charm, I guess. But if we're being totally honest? Not a single one of them actually works for me. Especially when you hold them up against what they’ve been rocking until now. It's just a massive step down.

Since we’re already talking about Lotto, they really knocked it out of the park with this latest Udinese release; it's yet another absolute winner from them. This kit is just fantastic:



BARNSLEY

I honestly don't know if anyone else has mentioned this yet, but I’m pretty sure this is the absolute ugliest Nike kit coming to Europe next season. It’s giving that PSG away kit I posted earlier a serious run for its money:

Man, this thing is a bigger pajama set than that Arsenal one...🙏🙏🙏>

Anyway, check out the new Wales kit:



The previous ones were definitely more my style, but honestly, these aren't bad either. They give off those old-school Umbro or Reebok vibes. I didn't even realize Champion was putting out soccer jerseys these days.

Nothing groundbreaking, but nothing terrible. Just a standard jersey. Besides, Champion has been in the soccer kit game for quite a while now; I seem to recall Parma wearing Champion back in the day...









All things considered, they weren't half bad during that era...

Seriously, check out this shot from Index. Man, if these Umbro Dinamo kits actually showed up in two years, they’d be legendary. Honestly, they're just too damn good.

This is absolutely top-tier... it's that Kappa Welsh third kit, released to celebrate John Charles. If I remember correctly, they wore it during their match against Canada.

🙏 🙏 🙏

honestly, those pink Barcelona kits actually turned out pretty sick 😍

Richard Wilson4 said:Actually, Bimbo is an American word too, basically just meaning some young, dumb bimbo or slut...

I'm aware, but since they're a Mexican team, that's why I mentioned it. 😁
If memory serves, they're some kind of bakery chain or something similar. 😁

mellowowl38 said:Personally, I think these jerseys are actually great. They probably would've hit a different level if Nike had handled them, but hey, considering their usual "design" sense, these might actually be the best Reebok kits they've ever put out. Both River and Boca have basically stuck to the same look forever—just based on how the colors are split. Not trying to be nitpicky here, but River always had that red stripe on white, and Boca always rocked the horizontal yellow on blue. They messed around with a lighter shade of blue for a few years, but thankfully they finally brought back the original version a couple of seasons ago.



Aside from that, maybe it's because of this, but after Dinamo, my two absolute favorite clubs are Boca and Celtic. Their kits are legendary. I actually love that Celtic hasn't gone crazy changing their designs all the time; the ones they've had since last season are top-tier:

I don't know, I just find these more appealing, especially the black one. Even though they've had better designs in the past—I loved the design from three or four years ago—they always seem to fall back on the same basic template.

I didn't realize Petrobras was the main sponsor for River now. It would have been a much cooler touch if it were Boca instead.🤣

The third Chelsea signing was announced today. It isn't bad; in fact, it’s easily the best of the three new arrivals this season.

Petrobras has been on the River jersey for about 2 or 3 years now.

The latest kits from Zeljeznicar:

The first one is the away kit, the middle option is either their third or what they're calling the "alternative" design, and the last one is the home jersey.

It’s actually been like that for a few years. For instance, the crest on their jersey looks totally off to me. If you use images of both the Boca and River jerseys as a benchmark against the actual kits, just look at how massive that crest is compared to what it should be. 😁

Seriously, it's easily one of the best Adidas kits out right now—maybe even the top pick of the bunch. It’s kind of a joke, though, that even if we're talking about similar colors, Chelsea's third kit looks leagues better than Real Madrid's first kit.

Not really. It just reflects how things are actually playing out on the field.😁

Fiorentina


not exactly terrible, but nothing special either... 🤷
