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.

Cardiff City & Wales I've always thought Forest Whitaker would do well. As I get older I am returning to the Custard Cream 3 Bits of Fry & Laurie - The Complete Scripts Jaded Axe Attack Location: East Molesey - it's paradise Birthdate: 1968-12-11

Oh dear;



"Eighties - I'm living in the Eighties"

They seem to have taken relegation out on their kit in the same mournful way Birmingham have.

What I like about that Bordeaux kit is that it literally looks like a stick-man on there screaming at the horror of it

From Doncaster Rovers in the Bundesliga, to AC Milan in the Champions League:



And the away kit:

Can't really argue with that.

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.

But still, it's nice.

Yeah, the design's good, I'll give them that.

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.

Wasn't there a time (80s?) when Puma had half the teams in the Bundesliga playing in white? Or am I imagining things?

The home shirt is getting a cautious thumbs up from me at the moment. White shorts and socks will take a bit of getting used to.

The "mulberry" change kit at least means we should wear the blue first kit in most away games, unlike last season.
