Never heard they're based on the FA colours. Having said that though. I actually think that makes it worse not better. Who gives a **** about the FA? National shirts should mean national colours. I can't think of any other country in the world that adopted the colour of their football governing body.. Really? Italy for one. Several teams wear colours different to their flag… Italy, Germany (both colours of their FA), Netherlands, Japan, Australia, New Zealand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they keep their legs crossed while they are sat on the sofa watching the proper teams ( and Wales) compete. I suppose they could always arrange a friendly kick about against Italy..!

Mad Cyril Posted September 19, 2022 Report Share Posted September 19, 2022 Money making farce. Why can't teams play in skins for their second kit? It will be warm enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs more white though, to symbolise that many of the team are actually English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She'd be pissed about the prices nowadays then!! It will never go back to it, or become the norm again, but it wasn't so long ago that a lot of clubs changed the away kits every 2 years. Wouldn't make as much money though would they.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selred Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 It's a great story from Denmark / Hummel, but let's also be honest it's partly due to commercials. Black out kits are very "in" right now, the all black shirt is very very nice. I love the City black out hoodie, also by Hummel. Can see them shifting a lot of these kits, the story just adds to the attraction in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not want your brand to be associated with Qatar then either don’t supply kits at all or don’t have your logo/name/chevrons on there. Regardless of the colour Hummel’s logo will be visible at the World Cup, in Qatar. As an aside, it’s a really, really nice kit that would look great for us next season!
