New Kit

[maccavennie]

I can't make my mind up which Hummel kit is my favourite

Either the Spurs 86, Villa 87 or Southampton 87

Deffo one of them or the 86 Denmark kit.

One thing they all had in common? Chevrons all over the gaff compared to our crap 2-3 Chevrons.

Should be a motorways worth of Chevrons, not a bloody side roads worth

Blame sleeve badges and kit regulations. Adidas have been hit by it too as the 3 stripes can’t go all the way down now.

On your other point, has to be Denmark 86 for me. Spurs 86 second

Who’s the jarg company because it damn sure isn’t Hummel, they have done some of the best kit designs going, far better than the cookie cutter styles of Nike and Adidas

You're in denial, the ones you've mentioned make such better kits.

Weird

Do you know any one who would go the shop and buy Hummel? How's that's weird.

I like Adidas - good styles but they're common as muck. Nike are just a joke and produce 1 nice template kit in around 30 attempts. Lazy, unimaginative and certainly never stylish. I'd have Nike down as the worst by a long way.

But yanno ... the power of marketing, emperor's new clothes and that.

There's a reason they're ahead of the game in sportswear.

The global population actually like the clothes they produce.

Don't forget that half of any population are below average in the smarts department. That's a lot of people. That's who advertisers and politicians target.

Hummel make great kits.

Will never buyva shirt while we're advertising gambling though.

Bet you would

The big brands do have the unlimited budgets in marketing, but that's irrelevant because they design the best modern kits.

Didn't we have people lining down the street during our first kit launch with Nike?

No one apart from the people on here wants a kit that looks like it was dragged from the 80's.

Every kit they've done for spurs for example looks class and I hate to say it but the kits they've made for them have been smart.

Have a word with yourself no one cares about a traditional mark on a kit, if it's made from the likes of Hummel Umbro or admiral it looks awful.

I'm not able to comprehend what point you're making here?

 

[BullensRoad]

Call me old fashioned, but I'd take this.
Love the old badge. Classic and simple. Just ignore the spanish fraud wearing it.View attachment 211176

Yep a classic baggy kit with an awful badge, would have sold millions

 

[BullensRoad]

Absolute head banging stuff this, it's like when esk said they should make a stand at the new stadium a replica of the original goodison road stand.

 

[BullensRoad]

'Jarg'? They've produced great kits & training wear over the last couple years..

No they haven't

I appreciate you have.a different view, but' Id rather wear this out and about than a standard football shirt.

I think you're trying to assert your aesthetic opinion as fact here, based on marketing success. Its just your opinion. My opinion is that Nike mainly make god awful stuff, but somehow ... based on weight if marketing, which the cystomer pays for, ... are popular. The spurs kits have been specially dreadful - more juvenile in style than elegant to my eyes.

There - our opinions differ. The ones you deride - from the 80s are some of my favourite kits of all time ... all thIs when Nike were still stuck in the US and hadn't noticed football yet nor the potential to charge £80 for an ununspired template t-shirt that cost them less than a fiver to make in a sweat shop - which most of the manufacturers do, but Nike have perfected their art by only paying one designer to come up with a couple of ideas that'll do many teams for a season.

I suspect that if Admiral spent Nike's advertising budget on popularity then you'd find you love their stuff too because lots of other people would too.

Mad what’s going on here @BullensRoad

Would I ever dream of going out in public wearing anything Hummel? No. It’s a brand thing, the designs aren’t as nice.

But would I be seen wearing Everton items? Yeah cause I’m a blue and I’m proud to show everyone that. Don’t think my kids gonna turn round and go “Dad I don’t want this Everton kit, it’s Hummel”, they’re gonna be buzzing because it’s an Everton kit or whatever.

There’s a difference between every day casual clothing and sports merchandise. The majority won’t give a toss who makes the clothing providing its Everton, which is why you see so much Source Lab and Score draw items knocking round whenever you’re in town.

Who ever gives us the most dough, I’m down for. Personally, I’d much rather have the effort Hummel give, than the generic ident-a-kit that Nike roll out for their non “elite” clubs.
