Slacker Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 35 minutes ago, alexukhc said: Players generally cut holes in their socks in order to reduce pressure on the calf muscles, which are often restricted by the form-fitting, snug nature of the garment. For players who have bulging leg muscles, socks can prove particularly restrictive, causing difficulties with effective bloodflow and circulation, as well as breathability. Therefore, players will often move to cut up their socks, in order to remove the problem and help improve their game. Thanks for the insight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted March 19, 2023 Report Share Posted March 19, 2023 Some will actually cut the whole foot off the sock, and just leave from the ankle up. And wear a thinner shorter sock on the foot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have small rubber parts on the sole and heal which stops the players feet moving around in their boots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've worn them in the past when playing golf. They really do make a difference. They are thinner than a football sock. https://www.amazon.co.uk/grip-socks-football/s?k=grip+socks+football Edited March 20, 2023 by spudski 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to regularly have “supply issues”. Wonder whether the club aren’t helping things? Hedging their bets and not ordering enough to make them important to the supplier? Just a thought. By the way those Aberdeen “templates” look great. So much better than ours and somehow just do not look cheap. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do prefer the hummer adidas kits but if more people can get their hands on the kit all year old round with O neils then I see this as a better deal for the fan, although we are yet to see the away kit and training gear .

There was supply issuers with Hummel & adidas . There won’t be for the latest kits because not many will be buying them . Especially that yellow debacle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRock Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 8 hours ago, Bris Red said: ******* embarrassing Abysmal isn’t it. Really does look like they’ve gone to a Poundland shop, then ironed on a badge transfer. You’d think that having won a contract a company would initially try an impress their client with their wares. OK when you’re running a contract down with no chance of re-engagement take the p*ss, but this is just shocking at this stage of a client relationship. I’ll just give them the benefit of doubt that they just aren’t geared up to supply quality clothing - which makes you wonder why we engaged them in the first place - but come the Summer and retail sales time they will significantly raise their game (and product quality). It has been a totally underwhelming start though and if I had entered a contract with them, I’d already be reading the riot act. In all this mess, I do wonder where our new CEO is and why he hasn’t issued a statement about the (lack of) quality of their products. Could it be he’s a bit embarrassed about how this relationship is working out I wonder? Not a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laner Posted March 25, 2023 Report Share Posted March 25, 2023 Watching National League football, they all have proper recognised branded kit. Why then do we have this rubbish from an unknown supplier? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
