Now is the time when Chairmen start rubbing their hands. Although there are no more gate recepits until August (except Play-Off sides), new season tickets and new kits are approacing.

There has been no mention on Forest's website of the new home kit, but one is definately due. Hopefully I can scrape enough pennies together to buy one.

I bet there are going to be some crazy designs coming out. Hopefully some as bad as Liverpool's salmon pink kit!!

Is Liverpool's as ghastly as this?

The new Liverpool home kit that they wore yesterday is Ok if unremarkable

I am really sad the old board doesn't work when we talk about kits. That old thread was pretty special.

The previous board kit thread was absolutely spectacular, although the 'bad kit' threads were better...

I had the, erm, 'pleasure' of seeing Sevilla play in that kit at Camp Nou in September. It burned your retina even from the back of the third tier. Still better than the just plain boring Sevilla home kit, though.

That Sevilla kit is by some distance the worst kit I've ever seen, and that's saying something.

Seriously, Reed? Have you not seen this thread?

I'll clarify. I'd say it's the worst idea for kit ever.

As I said in another thread (how is this coming up twice?) neon colors were briefly in vogue among teenage girls in the mid-1980s. For a football team to be trotting them out now - and not just any neon color, but neon pink - just defies all explanation.

Those other abominations came out in an era when horribly garish sweaters and tennis clothes were in vogue.

The Caribous shirts were not that outrageous for the time. It was the late 1970's, after all and NASL needed every gimmick it could devise to draw in fans (using the ABA as a model).

It's one thing to get swept up in a horribly-misguided-and-soon-to-be-widely-regretted fashion movement. It's quite another to pay homage to such a movement 20 years after it went into the dustbin of history.

Plus, the inclusion of red with the pink makes it look like a bad valentine, plus the black socks don't go very well. The inclusion of a gambling website as a shirt sponsor just adds just the right touch of class[/sarcasm] to the whole thing.

The combination of pink and black worn by Palermo over the years has always struck me as looking pretty damn cool.

That Sevilla kit is class. I'd snap one up like a shot if they did the shirt in a skinnier cut.

The new Spurs kits are being unveiled tonight, if a rumoured version is true it will have navy blue side panels going diagonally down the back. Hopefully this means the shorts will go back to being navy blue.

It goes on sale on Saturday night at midnight, with some strange incentives like a stadium tour and stroll out onto the pitch.

I presume it will be worn for the Liverpool game

How do "side panels" go "diagonally down the back"?

I hate to say this but the Chelea kit looks OK from the little I have seen of it.

When I was last in the Liverpool shop, there was loads of pink stuff so they were obviously softening up the public.

Is it really neon pink? Class

Harry, they go down the sides then kind of bend round the back, diagonally.

Hmmm. I might be able to stomach that if they bring back the navy shorts.

Puma do seem to be much less slavishly dedicated to their "templates" than their primary competitors, though, at least as far as club sides are concerned (the cookie-cutter similarity of their national team shirts (especially the African ones) mandating use of the qualifier).
