WRERE Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Wycombe's new goalkeeper shirts have been made to try and distract the opposing strikers by implementing an kaleidoscope design http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2017/07/06/wycombe-wanderers-unveil-kaleidoscope-goalkeeper-kit-designed/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Umm.... think City decided, against all scientific evidence, that dressing our players up in the naffest possible training wear will not impact on performance. As Cotts used to say, it's all about the 0.1% differences at the top of professional sport. LJ clearly has a different take on things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange is almost instant to see, whilst patterns tend to "blend" with the background meaning a striker is less pressured when shooting. So, either O'Neills have done better studies than the majority of in-depth researchers as well as companies like Nike and Adidas or they're just making s*** up to sell shirts.

The dastardly red Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I think that for each game we should choose someone from the opposing team and have our boys have a photo of that player covering the whole shirt. Every time that player got the ball we could sing "you're shirt and you know you are" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 What the **** is the problem with just a normal goalkeeper shirt, why does it have to be 8 different fluorescent colours with retractable under arm wingsuit features? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AppyDAZE Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I heard on Talksport them saying that it is designed to make the forward think that the goalkeeper looks "imposing" nah, I'd think how could i not score against this knob.. tap 1-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they thought about it differently. Situations where the head is up for longer it may be more distracting. But if, as you say, orange is the most distinctive and easily seen, the player will have a rough idea where the 'keeper is from it catching his eye. A pattern blending in means he won't see/will delay the shot so he can see where the goalkeeper is and aim away. That extra little time could be vital. In all likelyhood, the difference either way is probably so small as to mean nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderMB Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 I don't know about you guys, but I love the wacky goalkeeper shirt designs, and I love the new Wycombe one! My personal favourite is the England Euro 96 keepers kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all likelyhood, the difference either way is probably so small as to mean nothing. Im of the same mindset. I think if the GK blends into the crowd then the attacking playermay for a split second not instantly know where the GK is. However depending on the type of player they may see it as a open goal and may give them a little boost. As you say the difference is so tiny whatever way you look at it it's not really likely to make too much difference. If it did give the defending team an advantage as a manager id have my own GK playing in that same shirt it training for the week to get used to it.
