Missus just kept up her annual tradition of secretly ordering me one. I say secretly....

For really obvious reasons. It's unbelievably chavvy imo. If you're going to a social occasion and are older than 15, wear a shirt, or a smart t-shirt. Football shirts do not look smart. You can not look smart wearing anything that can be bought at Sports Direct.

I'll get a few negs for this maybe, but they'll be from people who would wear football shirts out and about so I don't care.

You must care as you had to make a comment about how people dress. It is up to the individual. I am not a chav yet I wear retro football shirts. So in your eyes that makes me chavvy. Far from it. Maybe stop generalising on how people dress just because you would not do it. Maybe you wear your wifes underwear at weekends but that would be up to you. Like it is up to the choice of someone to wear a football shirt.

The new shirt is so much better than this years, and last years Y-front collared abomination.

I meant I don't care about the rep. I'm not saying wearing the shirt makes you a chav, I'm saying if you're rocking up at a box social in a pair of corduroys and a Spurs shirt c2009, it doesn't look smart.

I don't have a wife, but if I did - I'd rather leave the house wearing her drawers than a Kappa Spurs shirt.

It depends on what social occasion though. You are making a sweeping statement that all events are social occasions. Walking around a town centre shopping is that a crime to wear a football shirt? Obviously no one would turn up to a wedding in a football shirt unless it's themed but you are making out that happens all the time.

Just checked it out on the OS, it looks really good on the players.
I think it's the best Home Kit UA have done for us so far. And despite the logo being red, it's better than any of the Mansion or Thomson sponsored home shirts (but not as good as any of the Holsten shirts)

Sp just for confirmation, we have decided to become the LA Galaxy, yeah? Sheesh. Whoever is approving these designs at the club should be fired. Cant approve a decent home kit for shit.

Yeah, man. I'm making out that happens all the time. I'm making a hyperbolic statement which connotes how I feel about the smartness of football shirts. If you take it literally, that's not my problem. I wouldn't wear a football shirt anywhere.

Even if I'm going to play football, I'll wear something else there and get changed when I get there. That's me, what other people do is their business, but it's not going to stop me thinking it doesn't look smart.

I agree to a point, I wouldnt wear any sports wear to a social gathering or even if I was going out for the day, thats just not me. But for nipping to the local shop or louging about the house I love it. I recently bought ...

And It looks great with a pair of Diesel's, yeah sports wear can look chavvy but its all in how you wear it and how you pair it up, like a full kit with socks and all is just for the bedroom ;P. Also i run abit and play indoor once a week so its handy for that.

You don't work in advertising do you?

No one pays to advertise their company so it blends in seemlessly with its surroundings.

Not directly but I have to dabble.

If something is big and brash and doesn't fit in order to stand out it's typically positioned wrong - appearing desperate/ill-mannered/annoying. Some people will lap it up of course - others turn away and just get on with things that matter.

The red is awful and nearly ruins it. But it's not just the colour. The logo itself is a problem. I mean, someone probably got paid thousands to design a logo for AIA and it's three great big trundling awkward letters.

The kit I like, but as long as AIA remain our sponsor, the kits will always have a whiff of the shits about them.

Good for you but calling anyone who wears a football shirt a chav just because you would not be seen dead in one makes you very up your own arse.

They're logo on the poster there, the mountains and the letters arranged in a sphere, would look really smart in blue on that kit.

We want a nice kit? Get rid of the "sash", change the sponor logo to navy and we have a nice shirt.
