Im an old fat bastard so stopped buying kits yonks ago, but for Blues with young kids who want the latest kit all the time, its really starting to take the piss. This and the £50 pemium on the Platinum tickets is starting to add up.


I know it was...but what do you want me to do, I don't have kids yet. Maybe I'll feel differently when I do.

However, mate, I'm not being funny but when I was a kid I can remember wanting the latest kits, and the latest star wars toys, or the latest bmx.....I very rarely got them. Just because kids want stuff doesn't automatically mean that they have to be given it.


Correct my young apprentice, they certainly wont getting all these new kits, unless that money tree in our back garden starts to grow, but thanks for the parenting insight all the same.

I have to say that I love the excitement of the new kits, I often buy them and i'd be a bit peeved if we had to keep them all for a couple of seasons. I equally don't think I'm alone in that

Here's a novel idea, tell the kids no. Works on mine, although I am a bast*rd of a father! ;0)

Have to agree mate, as I did back then when it was mentioned. If the club take the piss, there will be a natural market in counterfeits. If there is a market, someone in China will plug the gap.

Looks like a bad blag but I don't actually mind it.

I wouldn't mind us having a one-tone shirt with a collar for once, like the Lazio and Villareal tops (but Umbro rather than Puma). I reckon it'd look top with white shorts and sky blue socks.

nah, we are always pushing the boundaries now as a club, I expect us to have a neon shirt that strobes next season and the player with the ball to have an arrow pointer above his head.

Kin ell, never thought of that! Always do tell em no, which makes me the bad guy but hey ho.

Point is the club should bear this in mind and not take the piss with a kit change, home and away, every 12 months. Then they might sell a few more anyway.

Not sure about that if it's the real deal... nowhere near as classy as the last two Umbro home kits, or as nice as our new away!

Given the line Umbro have taken, the shirts will be fitted for a start. I remember some of the fakes knocking around last summer, horrible designs

No info, cribbed the photo from BM (flipped it because the mirror image was confusing the BM folk, they thought it was witchcraft or something)

The oddball collar leads me to believe it's genuine, why would someone fake a collar that strange?

So the original mirror image I flipped has now been flipped on BM, someone is now querying that...

'If this was took in the mirror, how can the sponsor read the right way around?

Amazing!...
