NUFC kits & merchandise

13/14 with the obnoxious Wonga-blue pinstripe is my stinker. 15/16 was obviously horrendous too for similar reasons. Spikes one was stupid but I quite liked the collar.

 

17/18 home was a beaut.

 

Agree 100%. Spikes one collar was class - actually fit really well too. Decided to keep it. The 17/18 home kit was awesome too tbh, and last season's grew on me too tbh. Champo home kit has special memories to me because how much joy i had following Rafa's team.

Without doubt, the worst one they've given us was this:

Just needed a binbag taped to the back and we could have been the arch rivals of the Brown Bottle.

Let’s not forget the beaver tooth effort.

 

Load of shite.

To look at puma have done a couple of ok-ish designs, but the quality of kits is so bad they're un wearable.

 

Yep. Quality is extremely poor.

 

Compared a fake £8 one from China with a real £40 one from the club shop, and the only noticeable difference was the fake one had a nicely embroidered Puma logo on it, while the real one had a shit plastic sticker.

Footy Headlines reckons our third kit will be "prism violet" and has made some mockups based on that

2011-12 was when I started following NUFC in earnest so I’ve got a soft spot in my heart for that year’s kit.

 

2012-13 was meh, but you got used to the spikes. Also liked the collar.

 

Whoever designed the 2013-14 kit should be drawn and quartered.

 

2014-15 would’ve been one of the best kits we’ve had in 20 years if not for the inexplicable decision to tack on a black bib.

 

2015-16 was decent and I liked the third kit with the sash.

 

2016-17 effort was pretty poor but we were good so it didn’t matter. Away kit ala Boca was lush that year.

 

2017-18 was superb. The all-black third kit was great, too.

 

2018-19 was again excellent. And the best away kit we’ve had since the kit it paid homage to.

 

This season’s is garbage. Patches should never again be centered on the chest.

I think our current one looks really nice from the back but weirdly misshapen from the front, worsened by the Fun88 which really jars against the thick stripes.

 

For me it's:

 

17/18 home

18/19 home

11/12 home

16/17 home

12/13 home

10/11 home

19/20 home

14/15 home

15/16 home

13/14 home

 

Aways

18/19 red-blue hoops

17/18 two-tone black

11/12 orange and white

12/13 all maroon

19/20 all orange

16/17 Boca-style

18/19 electric blue

17/18 sky blue n dark blue

11/12 all black

19/20 all dark green

16/17 white n purple

12/13 luminous green

10/11 all white

10/11 all light blue

14/15 all silver n wonga

13/14 yellow n wonga blue

15/16 pink-white wonga sash

13/14 dark blue n wonga blue

15/16 white n wonga blue

14/15 green-blue halves n wonga

 

Sorry. Seems I needed to do that.

Our banana kit is perhaps my favourite of the recent era.

NV 2010-11

I genuinely  had no idea before they started to make our kits now terrible puma are ? For a massive name in the sports industry every thing  from the materials  to the designs of our kits are fucking dreadful

10/11 was a basic design but the material was fucking shocking  and the sponsor came off in the wash....

11/12 people look back with in rose  tinted goggles because we had a good season.... the design was fucking naff .... I liked the kit to cus of the memories.... but it looked like a waist coat and tie and the material was shite

12/13 was fine bar spikes

Then from 2013 till 2016 was fucking ridiculous.... big fuck off capes and beaver  teeth and splashes of blue ....

16/17-18/19 were good

And this year was actually  not as bad as people made out.

 

As for the away/3rd kits they've all been meh bar 11/12 3rd and last seasons hooped  effort....

 

I think puma and there jerseys  completely suit and sun up the Ashley era, horrible, cheap and tacky....  I mind when I was a kid I couldn't sleep when ever  we where releasing  a new kit out of pure excitement....I think if/when the new takeover  takes place and they get a new kit supplier  itll help kick off a new era

No surprise the kits looked good under Rafa. Am certain he’d have told PUMA exactly how he felt about the designs presented.

Rafa is renowned for his wavy garms, for sure.

I think the problem isn't necessarily with puma, it's the club who specify stickers and iron on patches. If you look at shirts puma have done for the likes of Dortmund and Arsenal over the last few years they're nowhere near as shit.

Rafa is renowned for his wavy garms, for sure.

 

Aye, that's a bit of a stretch mind.

 

Most of the zany shit Puma pumped out was consistent with what they chucked out for other clubs (spike kit was definitely shared with Dortmund for one). Likewise, most their output in recent seasons has been more simple, with the exception of some trippy away kits.

heard on a podcast somewhere that the process of even as zany as kits was under heavier scrutiny over rafa versus it being very 1 way with Puma prior....the process usually is brand sends a few designs over, there's back and forth feedback until its agreed and in the past the club didn't give a single fuck.

Tbf they saved a bit of time just ccing the Puma rep on their ‘Whichever one is the cheapest’ emails to Graham Carr.

I assumed we just chose whatever was the cheapest template, material, badge option etc.

 

Imagine if we needed more than 2 colours, we'd probably have stopped making replica kits.

 

:frantic: :frantic:

That's ace 

Seen something  on fb on Saturday... tried to post it on here but dont know how to put up pics .... was a prototype  for the 125 season away kit.... was the maroon  hooped Jersey with  the coat of arms as the Crest was class looking

 

:frantic: :frantic:

 

Pure sex

has anyone bought one of those football town shirts?  just wondering about quality etc as they're lush

Think HTT[/member] got one?

Wrong colours for that dirty turncoat.  He prefers his butchers apron these days.
