    I don't know why but I've always hated the red black combo attempts for our kits.

    It just doesn't look good and well.


    And that away kit is just so low effort blah. I'm a about keeping it simple but when u compare Nikes efforts with their bread and butter teams, you get the sense we got the b-team designers

    I have player issue jerseys from 2002, 2010, and 2014 (missing the 2006). Am really hoping to find one for this year too but I've always run into difficulty because theyre mostly only available through third parties

    I think I read the jersey serves dual purpose as the Nike contract states the players are supposed to do a lion-dance complete with firecrackers if a goal is scored at any stage of the tournament

    The pattern in that china jersey is pretty dope...

    ...the problem is the designer who placed it on the jersey is a moron... he should've used a black on black treatment so that the pattern didn't stand out as much.

    And yes, Korea gets the short end of the stick since their team is rightfully a B-tier team.

    If Korea start producing good results, maybe, just maybe they'll get a decent jersey.

    In the case of China, they get more priority due to their incredibly large market. So in that same regard, if Korea multiplies their population by 100, then maybe that's another scenario where they'll get a better jersey...

    As it currently stands, Korea is on par with Saudi Arabia in terms of how shit the team is... and the jersey is a good reflection of that.

    Not a huge fan of red-black, but that Chinese shirt is incredibly tacky.

    Real Madrid also had their "dragon" jersey which was tacky as hell.

    this is more what the actual kit will look like apparently, not a fan either way but Nike should honestly focus on WC teams like us more than non-WC teams

    it all comes down to commercial opportunity. If Korea is a footballing loving country, we would be getting better kits.

    That's without a doubt haha. but I just think Nike should put a little more effort on teams at the WC because their products are showcased more than those that are not. As someone with a marketing background I just think they missed out on an opportunity to sell more shirts since all I hear about our home kit is complaints about the 빨간내복 feel lol.

    People are starting to get their kits with printing in Korea. Not a big fan of the home kit, even with printing:

    This is allegedly official Nike printing, but it's interesting to note that the WNT has been using a different font and number set in their recent matches (note the thicker, curved font and no line through the middle of the numbers below). I bet that's right and that the WNT is using a placeholder 16-18 set because the official one wasn't released in time for their matches.

    No signs of away kits with printing yet, but the kit looks nice in person:

    Oh, and some guy in California found the new home kit at a Nike Outlet for $40 USD. Has to be a price error, but you may want to check it out if you're nearby:

    Away kit official printing, really nice. It looks like the main difference between replica printing and official PVC printing is the subtle texture in the back numbers:

    For those of you in / who have relatives travelling to Korea, Nike Gangnam is including the printing and sleeve flag patch for free when you purchase a jersey, reportedly until sometime in June. They have all the materials, so you can get any name or number:

    As for me, I ordered my away kit from Replicaroom, which cost me a painful $203 USD for the Stadium kit ($135 kit + $35 printing/flag patch + $33 EMS shipping) to Canada, because Replicaroom converts the KRW values straight to USD. They have both kits and Ki / Son namesets in stock, because my jersey's being shipped out tomorrow.

    Hey everyone, can anyone please share a URL/link to order this zip-up jacket/hoodie? I've searched everywhere online, and cannot find this. Thanks![​IMG] [​IMG]

    That jacket's not available outside of Korea at the moment. Replicaroom had stock and can ship overseas, but they're sold out. Your best bet is to have a friend or relative buy it there and ship it to you.

    The hardest items to find in the collection are the training jacket and training top with neon green accents, which are so popular in Korea that scalpers are reselling them at a higher price and others are selling bootleg versions where they've screen printed the KFA emblem on a Chinese fake of the generic jacket.
