Any idiot could make the AIA blue and make a better looking kit, but AIA pay for their logo to be on the kit, and their logo is red. We just have to deal with it until 2019...
I wish people would get this through their thick skulls as it's really not difficult to understand.

I quite like the look of the home shirt - reminds me of the Kappa "Davids shirt".

Exactly. Why don't we just put Holsten on the front too and all like it??

Look let's just wait for official confirmation. No point whining about it. Not like we have any say in it anyway.

If nobody bought the shirt the club would look at the designs much more closely with supporters tastes in mind

I've got to admit, they're not the most creative designs I've ever seen..

It's amazing that we sign off these designs year after year.

Great kits are so few and far between nowadays for us

It'd be worth asking the question at the THST meetings would it not? Granted you can't choose a sponsor based on their logo colour but even though i've personally liked a lot of the Under Armour era kits.
It must be said though if there was that much outrage at the kits surely it'd be raised at one of these meetings no?

The only way to influence it is vote with your wallets, problem you'll have is opinions and arseholes; what many people won't like many people will like so i don't know how you win.
A case of "everybody gets what nobody wants"

Can we just sit back and appreciate that someone out there is being paid a full-time job to design the UA Tottenham kit. Like they spend an entire season thinking of the best possible design for a shirt and they come up with something I guarantee all of us on here could do in one day.

Where can I send my resume?

More like there's one person doing the designs for all of their sponsored kits, creating about 10 variations for each club on some kind of theme decided by someone else, who spends a week at most on concepts per club if they're lucky and nobody foists last minute changes on them.

I find it hard to believe they'd sign off on red kits when players aren't even allowed to buy red cars..
Really?! I'd not heard this before but I think it's ridiculous especially given that players have played for us wearing red boots.

In fact I'd go a bit further and say the whole 'never red' thing is a bit silly - looking back through the history of our kits we have had a red home jersey a couple of times before. In fact we were the first North London team to play in red, long before that lot down the road even left Woolwich.

Now I'm not for one second advocating we try to 'reclaim red' by going back to the colours we wore in the 1890s or the 1930s, the tradition of white has been set and will remain. It's just that for a club that prides itself on knowing its history, sometimes we can be a bit selective.

It's plain white.......how on earth can it be beautiful?

Did we turn into Leeds overnight or something?

I honestly despair at the love for these plain kits. What would be the point of ever changing the design of the kit EVER, if we went along with this clamour for plain kits each season?

UnderArmour really are the modern day Pony when it comes to kits. Appalling designs.

But but but.. They're the fastest growing sportswear brand amongst Americans (with no taste) so they say... That's one poorly turned out country.

It would be pretty impressive to come up with a kit that makes Chinese bootlegger's jobs easier by being worse than what they could come up with, and give us a red training kit. Top work!

America has been the worst dressed nation on Earth for decades. Just look at the legions of Jimbobs in small town America in their beige khakis, white trainers polo shits and chin goatees. Shocking scenes. There are goat herders in Yemen with more style!

So its wrong to insult a Jew or a person of african origin in england but its fine to insult Chinese?
