Home - I'm ok with gold trim but it doesn't work with that red. Should be a darker red or even a throwback to the old maroon & gold. Not a huge fan of the white shoulders but I could get over that if the red/gold match was better (ie darker red) Away - Like the yellow color/pattern, though I think it is too close to last year's yellow. Hate the red accent stripe. Would greatly prefer a blue vs black accent. One option... change the yellow to a gold (like the home accent) and then the black accent makes much more sense and it is kind of an inverse to our 22/23 away.
I also vote against the gold, especially on the shoulders. But even moreso if the back panel is largely gold as it sort of seems. Seriously why do you need any other colors than red & white?
The away kit was always set up to fail after how well this black kit has been received so why not go for a more vibrant yellow and blue like the one we had with Nike;
100% That's a beautiful away kit! And like I said above about red & white, I see no reason why our away kits have to be anything other than yellow & blue. Notwithstanding the need for a totally different 3rd kit.
Not a fan of either kit for next year. Adidas need to knock it out of the park with the 3rd kit, or I won't be buying any next season.
So they got the new adidas logo correct but I think these are fakes because of the insides of the collar just don't look right, what's with the block of fabric?
Thank God I got the black away kit early when I did lol Definitely NOT buying home or away next season Hopefully some more nice hoodies or training tops arrive..
Based on the leak that new home kit is as bad as the strip we wore in 2015-16.....YIKES!!! Those home unis were horrid with that gold trim, it just DOES NOT go good with Red & White whatsoever!!! The away one looks worse than the wreck over in East Palestine!!! IMO I will be narrowing down my Adidas kits to just either this year's home and away kits, the third kit from last season, and also the snazzy 2020-21 white away strip, and either this or last season's goalkeeper's kits, what Matt Turner and Aaron Ramsdale are wearing/wore the past two years are awesome patterns, it's just that both the away and GK kits for this year are always sold out everytime I try to get them. When it comes to anything else Adidas, I'm not getting any more after this season due to the logo change (no "adidas" wordmark below the "A" on the logo as of the World Cup) As for my Nike kits, those, were etched in stone and bought and paid for in my collection a few years before I became a full-time Gooner 10 seasons ago, clearly the 4 outfield kits our beloved Invincibles wore from 2002-04, sponsored by the fine folks over at O2, were the best ever, as were some of the legends who donned them. They're also the only Nike kits I currently own even to this day as if I had to narrow it down to only 4.
New PL font and patch https://uni-watch.com/2023/03/14/premier-league-announces-new-font-sleeve-patch-for-2023-24/
I agree that it reminds too much of our old Puma kit. Not a big fan of the white sleeve going all the way up to the neck.
My biggest issue... the shades of red & gold just don't look good together. Either need a darker red (05/06 home) or stick with black or navy for the accent and use the gold for the away kit (gold with black accent inverse of this year's away).
Absolutely agree with going for the Highbury Farewell kit colour. The gold on red doesn't look great, and the gold on white on the sleeves looks poor.
Yeah, like how the MLB team that won the World Series wears gold trim the next year. Something like that would be cool.
Both are nice but I miss the felt material! That stuff lasted forever with regular washes. I don't dry any newer jerseys in the dryer, gotta hang dry them all.
I don't know if this true now but next year the league winners will have a golden lion in place of the purple one
Ignoring the gold trim... I actually like the look of the back. Had they done that same shape on the front (rather than rounded edges) I don't think people would be hating on the sleeves as much. Maybe that would fit weird though?
Looks aside, the pick of the shoulders makes it seem like this is a textured shirt. As a player, that would drive me crazy. As a fan, that would snag on just about anything you brush up against. I don't like the textured aspect at all.
