Kits 23/24

That's a template kit.

I think the Fulham one is a bit piss poor. Very boring and the different colour stripes on the shoulders look rubbish.

Are we getting a one off design then? That would be cool

I think it's a very good template but wouldn't be good enough if it was custom kit.

Of their custom stuff I really like the Bayern CL kit - https://fcbayern.com/store/en-aa/p/champions-league-jersey-23-24-28550?adword=google%2FEN%2F02_EN_Shopping_Trikots_Herren

It depends what category they've put us in. As I understand it, you have to be elite or B category to get custom stuff.

As we have our 150th year next season and they seem keen to celebrate that with a special kit, either for all season or a one off, you'd think this means they are doing custom shirts for us.

Nice. Can only imagine the price that'll be in the club shop

I quite like this one, and have been trying to imagine how it would work with claret and blue.

We'll definitely get a one-off custom design for at least 1 kit as part of the anniversary and as a premier league club that is in Europe this season and likely to be in Europe next I suspect we'd be considered at least b category even without anything else. Add Nas into the mix and I'd be amazed if that isn't the case.

If Newcastle are elite, we will be.

I'd hope so, but I don't think Leicester got into the B category, and they won things.

I don't think that would work as the home kit but as an away with white and ivory stripes and then a 'feature' colour in place of the light blue piping I think you'd have something pretty stunning.

If Newcastle are elite, we will be.

Not necessarily. They negotiated their deal last summer, when they were top 4 and in the CL. We've negotiated ours from Conference League and nothing else guaranteed. They also sell twice as many jerseys as us.

I'd hope so, but I don't think Leicester got into the B category, and they won things. 

but didn't have their owner as a major shareholder at Adidas and weren't going into a anniversary year where they'll expect a huge uptick in merch sales.

Although, a small thing, I would just have the adidas stripes in blue & remove that blue bar across the shoulders...

Small, picky issue, granted, bit still, both of those kits are beautiful.

Again very much nit-picking, but wouldn’t the blue shoulder bar being replaced with the same claret as the shirt, and use a different shade of claret for the adidas stripes would work better as per the black design? This would keep the kit traditional full body claret with blue sleeves whilst retaining adidas branding. Gold logos (as per black version) might also work better than the blue on the claret background.

Yeah, I think that would look decent too.

Or gold, as its our 150th year?

I know it's not traditional but I like when we wear claret shorts with the home shirt and socks.

Me too.

Im not a fan of the different coloured adidas stripes, but I have always been a bit of a sucker for a white shirt with black sleeves.

Same with yellow shirt & black sleeves.

Reminds me of the days I used to do career modes on sensible world of soccer with Derby County or Borussia Dortmund, lol...

My mate had Sensible Soccer on his Megadrive at uni, and they subtley changed the names of the players. Paul Ince became P.Once, which was nice.
