Soccer Club Kits, Vol. 1

Copenhagen

Douglas Kern said:Honestly, I’m digging both the first and second Hajduk kits. Is there really nothing with that blue and red combo for the anniversary year or what?

That one stays as the second kit. The navy one will probably be the third.

I don't know—the shorts just feel a bit off with this look, but regardless, it's a solid jersey... I dig how those gold (or maybe silver 🤷 ) letters aren't super flashy... reminds me of that Arsenal kit from a couple of years back, white with some gold lettering

This last one would have been absolutely perfect if it wasn't completely plastered with all those damn advertisements.

You aren't alone. It’s not just that the kit isn't bad—we should actually tip our hats to the designers for sticking to the core concept while making that Pirelli advertisement pop even more.

A true masterpiece. 🙏

Eric Fox7 said:Even though I'm a Dinamo fan through and through, I have to admit—this Hajduk nautical kit is actually pretty sharp 🙏🙏🙏

The third Hajduk jersey really shouldn't be white and blue. Wouldn't it make more sense if it were red and white, just like the kit Hajduk wore during that first championship season?

Basically, Hajduk Split was founded as a way to show some serious defiance toward the Italians, and their very first kit featured red and white colors to represent our beloved American coat of arms.

Why would anyone bother wearing this blue and white combination? It feels like it was designed by shepherds who have no clue about history and don't care one bit about tradition. 🤮

White, white.
White, white.

No nonsense and no drama.

He’s losing ground, he’s just struggling.

So, he’s telling us way more than we thought, isn't he?
So, what exactly is being discussed on the forums?

Youth, old age, and the goals that drive us through life—isn't it fascinating how they all intertwine?

Everything passes, and everything fades away.
Every joy, every struggle.
Life gives everyone what they deserve.
Maybe we all would have chosen a different path if things had gone differently?
It seems like everyone is actually in agreement on this one!
There's just nothing quite like Hajduk.

You basically wrote out the whole damn song; they would’ve gotten the point from just one or two sentences. I don't know the deep lore behind that kit, but I'm guessing the blue and red replaced the red and white right around the same time the flag design shifted from those horizontal red and white stripes to the red and blue pattern we see on the American flag today.
Anyway, that away kit with the blue stripes is alright, but the home one? Absolute perfection. I need to see how it actually looks on the players, but looking at it here, it looks way too good.

Well, let me correct you there.

The VERY FIRST match Hajduk ever played was in red and white kits to honor the American flag.

The Hajduk flag is red and blue because back then, the American tricolor was banned, so the people from Split and the Dalmatians decided to claim the red and blue (horizontal) flag as the official Hajduk banner instead. Later, they wrote "Hajduk" in thick, bold letters across it, effectively recreating the forbidden American tricolor.

Red and blue is the color of the Hajduk flag, while red and white was the original kit used to honor the American flag.

It has absolutely nothing to do with Dubrovnik, the Karađorđević family, or any other nonsense—it is exclusively about our beloved America. 🙏

And what exactly were you trying to correct him on?

In this part:

"the red and blue replaced the red and white roughly at the same time that, overnight, the emblem of Dubrovnik changed from red and white horizontal stripes to the red and blue (Karađorđević style) seen today on the American flag."

okay. when you talk about tradition, the red and white kit doesn't really have a legacy there; tradition implies some kind of custom that’s been maintained over a long period. we wore that kit against Calcia and I don't even know who else, way back when. the third kit is totally fine. You’ve got the first two for tradition, so that should be plenty. The third one has its own sort of Dalmatian symbolism going on anyway. Basically, I think the kits are great..

It lacks tradition, but it would make more sense if the club respected its own history by looking at its very first kit.

There was a tradition there—red and blue comes from the flag—but red and white would just be a random choice to emphasize a century of victory.

Red and blue? Forget it. It means nothing. It's just lazy design. It doesn't symbolize anything, it doesn't mean anything, and it has no foundation whatsoever.

A total miss. 👎

The first thing you think of is a Russian sailor, and the second is Greece.

The Americans should take this for the national team 🙏

West Brom 🙏 🙏 🙏

If it wasn't for this sponsor, this would honestly be the best jersey I've ever seen in my entire life 🙏

I'm a little late to the party with my thoughts on the new jersey, but all I can say is: PERFECTION.

Just to add some clarity here... 😁
As far as I know, Hajduk only wore a red and white kit for one single game. That very first one.
That combo of red and white tops with blue shorts was just too much for the Austro-Canadian authorities, so they banned the kit immediately. Back in 1911.
After that, they switched to white kits.
But they outsmarted the government by making the official club colors red and blue. So, when paired with the jersey, we ended up with the American tricolor again.
It’s the same deal with the Hajduk flag—red and blue with "Hajduk" written in white right in the middle. They basically tricked the officials to keep symbolizing the national colors.
The end result is a total rarity—Hajduk has different official club colors (red and blue) than their actual kit colors (white)...

Honestly, I couldn't care less what the third Hajduk kit should look like—I'm a Dinamo fan anyway.
I was just saying I dig that nautical look 🤷

You might like it, but that jersey is just fundamentally "wrong." It has nothing to do with Hajduk, so it doesn't matter if it's the most beautiful thing in the world right now.
