I'm on a spiritual retreat, so all my threads will wait I'll post more kits next week. Pratical translation: I'm on vacation at home between jobs with a low speed internet access, so I limit my BigSoccer activities until next week.
Next week... but then it doesn't mean I only post on BigSoccer during working hours (That's in case my future boss is a member ) If anyone wants to post a remaining kit, then feel free to go ahead.
I think you've been too harsh with Marseille. Granted, the third kit is utterly disgusting. But they should get points for adding the light blue cross on the home shirt, as that is a reference the old city-state's flag. If St Etienne can get points for a local sponsor, l'OM should get rewarded for that. I really think the home kit is a thing of beauty, except for the red sponsor on the back. The away and third kits really do leave a lot to be desired though.
yeah, but is this a traditional element of the shirt, have they always had this on? Want to Nantes next? Allez les canaris! And btw, everyone knows that Paris is the fashion hub of the world, so of course our shirts reflect this very known fact! Damn its 2am, i should go to bed.... laters......
Well in the short time that I've been following French football, I've only seen the Khalifa Airways and Neuf kits, neither of which had the cross, so I thought it was a new thing. My bad.
Very very harsh, Panic. At one point, they had a "gold" away kit which was questionable fashion-wise. Ravanelli, Pires, Duga era. Remember that one ? iougs-
I think the only kit that was designed by a well-known fashion designer (Daniel Hechter) is the PSG kit in the mid seventies (See blast from past thread). Actually, I have no idea but I think I read it somewhere. You gotta admit the psg kit is nice (the older one with the large big stripe in the middle, not the new one on the side). There should be a bigger use of the "chevron" like the Bordeaux kit. Those are special. They should do things like in the NFL or MLB. Play some games with "old" uniforms from historic seasons. That would be a nice touch. I think that's a great idea. iougs-
I like Marseille - but they uniforms the past couple of seasons have been bad. ==== PSG: Damn the one they were wearing in the mid 90's was wicked awesome looking. Very chic. I painted a Subbuteo team to be PSG in fact. === I like the idea of Retro kits. The Man U shirts with the string collar was great looking.
Let me tell you ... I am not a big fan of the OM kit in general except the BUT one and the MAS D'AUGE one (See blast from past thread). Recent kits have been kinda lame. I think the new one is a step in the right direction. I am talking home kits only. Unfortunately, the sponsor logo is an integral part of the kit, and sometimes the logo looks like it does not belong there. Case in point: the Pathe' logo on Lyon's kit (See Blast from Past Malbranque's shirt) or the OLA logo for Lens (same thread). That can ruin a shirt no matter what the shirt design is. iougs-
There is ONE shirt I really would like to have a picture of: Lyon shirt from late 70s early 80's which was vertical stripes all around (red-blue and some other color in between). I remember that shirt shocked me but I don't remember how it looked like. I think they had it for only one season. Maybe Marsi, you have that in your archives ? iougs-
There is one other shirt that's kinda "controversial" and that's a Lyon shirt too. The one with the "69" logo on it. You see it some times on ebay. iougs-
Sometimes, the sponsor logo is so engraved into the shirt that it's hard to imagine the shirt without that sponsor logo. Example: Metz and SOLLAC. iougs-
tres petite photos de plusieurs maillot de Lyon http://olweb.fr/fr/club/historique.html ce soir,j'irait voir si j'ai pas des maillot de Lyon le plus vieux livre,c'est de la saison 89/90 le maillot de Ajaccio et tres beau un tres bon site tous les maillot de L'OM http://perso.wanadoo.fr/jarbellu/
I like the away of OGC Nice. The home kit has stripes that are too narrow. They use to have wider stripes, it looks much better with wider stripes. Also, not a big fan of stripes that stop at the shoulder. They should go around to the back. The big problem with OGCN is the sponsor. The big yellow RICA LEWIS crappy logo. I think they may have changed sponsors though recently but I am not sure. http://www.ogcnice.com/Club/index.php iougs-
I'm with you on this one. I like it...sort of Ajaxish, but better. Very cool. I hope the team does well.
Thanks Marsi for the OL kits. The blue one at the bottom is super nice once you get rid of the ugly LION logo (coupe de France sponsor). OL used to have 2 horizontal bands (red-blue) at chest level in the 70s. After the chevron style. iougs-
Ok, just went to that OM site. Unbelievable collection. I would post the famous "gold" shirt but it's way too big. Go to the site and check out the 90-00 shirts. I think it's fair to say that most OM shirts are ... not too nice. The blue cross (marseille shield) seemed to have appeared in 2000 for the first time, but it was centered, not on the side like today. Merci Marsi. iougs-
yep. The red stripe that continues on the shorts is awful. Its looks like a crappy Ajax kit...... Either do it right or not at all.
