My ex thought it was too "busy" wtf that's supposed to mean I have no clue...

But the Ecuadorians are getting a real treat...


p.s. Still has the Football League logo, so as far as I am concerned, a "proper" bit of gear..especially for those who thought football started with Sky and the EPL

We practically never wore this shirt. Nor did we wear the other one I had, the white with claret arms one. :cry:

Well my main reason is that primarily they make underwear! I don't think they will make interesting football shirts based on this... Infact, I have been looking up some of their designs & if this one ( http://www.prodirectsoccer.com/prod_ima ... 040001.jpg ) is anything to go by then the Spurs shirt will be laughable... that effort looks likes a hockey shirt... it has horrible features like the triangle at the collar, the wide trim on the sleeves... I might sound fussy but football shirts should be kept simple & smart... our home shirt this year is quality because of those reasons. I'm not impressed by Nike or Adidas & I would have been happy with Umbro if they had given us the 'Manchester City' treatment if you get my drift...

Under Armour shirts may last longer but then that just prolongs the agony... Bad designs are all I have seen from them... Although all they have to do for spurs is put a navy cock & ball on a white shirt so surely they can't mess that up!

Macron did a great job with our shirts this season imo, I think many of our fans were surprised... I'm looking forward to what they make next... but it's all opinions aint it so there we have you NC :think:

Like the Spuds unis this season are awesome anyway. The players look like they are missing a baguette, a Gauloise cigarette, and a beret with that kit they got on.

I'd give my left bollock for that '86 home shirt to make a comeback. A thing of pure pornagraphic beauty.

I couldn't find a photo of it anywhere, it was apparently our third strip (2nd away) the other one had vertical blue stripes I think.

Love this one, it looks just like the one in the picture, no fading, colours still vibrant and the little velvety type badge although faded is still attached.

Love it...

UA are paying a minimum of £50 million over 5 years (plus bonuses). For that amount I'm not too bothered what it looks like. I'm sure the kids will still buy it no matter what it looks like - and surely no grown man should ever wear a football shirt (unless playing of course)

This, for me, will be shirt of 2011 - 2012. Not usually a big fan of Umbro creations but think this is on the money!

I think the 89/90 kit takes some beating. That that and the 01/02 Dr Martens Home Kit.
