New Kit 2014-15

[IGSpur]

Completly different in the States. Wear an American football team shirt with a name on the back and no one bats an eylid and most are obese and balding. This country sucks when you wear your teams colours in support of them.

Ye in the States when I went I've seen celebrities walking around with their team's shirt on with names on the back. Heck I've seen famous athletes wear other sports tops with names on the back. I actually went out in Cleveland once and saw an American walking through a club with a Spurs polo shirt on, that you'd see in the Spurs shop. Had to shake his hand.

I think in England wearing them to a game is cool and playing football but I think when people see them being worn on the street they associate it with hooliganism and consequently the person wearing it gets judged negatively

Interesting cross reference.

Yeah, here in the States it's perfectly acceptable to wear "jerseys" in a casual setting. People wear them out n about all the time. Even see football (association) kits all over the place nowadays, and seen far and away my fair share of Spurs kits. Not really okay for purely social situations, and only really acceptable in sports bars/grills, but they are still extremely common here.

Personally, I'll only wear them on gamedays and even then, not very often. Hence why I'll only buy them at the end of the season if I really like them, when they cost nearly half the original price and I can have it shipped to the US for free.

Anyone know if we have a 'cup sponsor' next season?

That was the first home kit I didn't own in the best part of 20 years. The yellow stripes were horrific, the grey patchy detail above it was something indescribable...

Same and now I regret not getting it..,,

I don't know about that - in England if you want to get up to no good then you purposely don't wear your team's colours so that should you get arrested or something you can't get banned from seeing your team play as they can't make the association. I think it's probably considered more chavvy than anything, (although so are most sports clothes which people wear casually) rather than being associated with hooliganism

Hooligans never wear the shirts, never have done.

Ahh the old debate about wearing your teams colours. I wear a spurs shirt sometimes. They are useful if you want to pop to the shops etc and can't be arsed to iron a top. I do wear a small gold badge like the one levy wears, on my black trench coat. It's nice and subtle.

I never understand why especially Americans going to Italy would say "mind you they really dress so nice so dress smarter than you would at home or what not". I literally couldn't grasp what was SO elegant with an everyday Italian. Then I married an American and lived in Denver for a year, and now I totally understand why American remind each other how "nice" they must dress in Italy.
Anyway, I'm digressing.

Haha it's true, our casual wear is almost equivalent to lounge wear. So that's certainly a fair point.

As of the end of June, I will have to wear pants and closed-toed shoes on weekdays for the rest of my working life, and I am not looking forward to it. I would be completely lying if I said wearing scrubs to work didn't factor in heavily into my intended fields in the future. Thank Christ they're already getting rid of ties in health care.

Apologies if posted but....

 

[sheringmann]

I really like it, but the red is a drawback.

And dear mods: Can we have up to date threads please? Its getting to be a trend to reply to a thread that started with something else a year ago..

What a nightmare for you to have to change from your usual!

Right?! These legs were made to be out n about.

I don't understand the love of a plain white kit, our colours are blue and white. The plainer kits we've had are the ones ice least liked in recent years. I like this years kit actually, unfortunate about the red but for the amount these companies pay they'd want their actual brand design regardless of how Inkeeping with the clubs traditions.

Maybe because our shirt is originially plain white

As a stand alone kit I really like it. Although as said, it doesn't look like a spurs kit.
Better than this seasons not as good as the HP sponsored UA kit.
The most interesting thing about it is how early it has been released. We normally have to wait ages before the official release.
I may buy the shorts or socks. Not the shirt though.

The shorts remind me a bit of the Pony '95 season shorts, that little white/silver trim at the back on the bottom is the same.

This is our 4th UA kit now right? So only one more home kit from them after this one and we'll be changing supplier again. 4 more seasons of AIA tho so 4 more seasons of "ffs why red" posts

Our absolutely very first kit was navy blue shirt with white shorts.

I don't at all dislike plain white and completely get the sentiment and nostalgia from fans who want plain white, but feel nowadays they are determined by how horrendous the Sponsor looks at the end of the day, so therefore prefer a bit of design. Plus my era was early 90's so there were hardly any plain white shirts other than the more recent puma one that springs to mind for me....Plus A plain white shirt with big bright red AIA is not gonna be as nice as people think/hope

That's where the idea came from
