That's pretty good, Bignutz. My only quibbles would be the usual wish that the vertical stripe wasn't interupted by the sponsor logo (see also Barca's away for this season) and the winglets on the collar. But still a fine effort.
To pick up on Harry's comment, the club colours of FC Istres (east of Marseille, one season in Ligue 1) are purple and black, and they used to play in stripes before selling out recently for a Toulouse-like lilac.
Well, they've had white home kits before. Yeah, I'd prefer it if that was the away shirt, and the home kit (in all competitions) was an inverted version.
Lots of German teams have a more relaxed attitude to kit design, using their club colours as a basis for riffing on, rather than fixed shirt/short/sock colours. A team's colours might be blue and white (Hertha are a good example), which means they'll play in white with a blue trim one year, blue with white shorts the next, stripes the next, hoops the year after and so on. I think it's crap, but there you go. The fans don't seem all that bothered by it.
Funnily enough, two of the teams who don't mess with their kits - HSV and Hannover - have got completely different club colours to kit colours.
Are Bayern playing in red in the Bundesliga and white in Europe? That's wank.
Yeah, I was thinking tnat myself the other day - most clubs seem to switch between plain/stripes/hoops/sleeves/sashes/complete inversion, although I don't see it as a bad thing, just a way in which their culture is different to ours. Schalke are an exception.
Bayern will be wearing white in the CL. In the past few years it's been navy blue and maroon before that. It's strange, really - I can understand the point of a European kit, but on the biggest stage, you'd want to be represented in your own colours.
