But agree on those Newcastle socks! Incidentally, only 4 released in the Championship so far... Puts to shame the bleating on here from certain posters that are always the last to release a kit, like its some sort of weird race. Some people just want any stick they can get hold of the beat the club with, no matter how ridiculous they sound. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's fine if you're fairly trim but if you're sporting a beer belly its going to show every crevice. Its quite a poor decision commercially I feel, to sell tight fitting tops when the majority of their customer base are overweight. I wonder whether baggy kits will ever come back into fashion, late 90's style? Guessing not as they probably care about aerodynamics and millimetres saved per sprint or something?

Il Pirata 249 Posted August 7, 2020 Palace kits look great... That Lincoln kit looks like a Sunday league shirt from the 90's! Awful! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Wynless Jones 161 Posted August 7, 2020 Got to be honest I think they're great kits, especially the white version which is one of the best kits I've seen for years. Sorry though Mason, that Lincoln one is dreadful and would look even more dreadful in yellow and green Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I actually meant to say: "Its quite a poor decision commercially I feel, for clubs to sell tight fitting tops when the majority of their customer base are overweight" You'll note that the person I was replying to was referring to skin tight football shirts in general, not specifically skin tight Crystal Palace tops, but then I'm not surprised that you don't understand the importance of context as you are far from the brightest crayon in the box. If by 'fag packet' you mean the UK Government's 'The Health Survey' which found that 28.7% of adults in England are obese and a further 35.6%% are overweight but not obese, then yes that fag packet. Just in case you are mathematically challenged as well as constantly constipated, then 28.7% + 35.6% = Most English people are fat.

Gordon Bennett 783 Posted August 8, 2020 I like the palace ones. I like the fact they are all the same design with a different main colour, like changed strips used to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rotund could always put some effort into not being quite so rotund. Eat better, move more. Its about the only thing Katie Hopkins and I agree on. Having been a couple of stone overweight for a couple of years , can speak from personal experience , you dont have to psychotic about it , just get a move on and eat regular balanced portion appropriate meals. Don't see Putin flaunting the flab . Of course there are people who do have clinical issues but mostly it's down to eating/ drinking too much of the wrong things and not getting enough exercise. What I dont get is the desire to wear those nylon nightmare shirts anyway, maybe fan friendly cotton versions that dont make casual wearers stink after a couple of hours... they are designed for short term wear during strenuous physical activity, after which both wearer and garment are cleaned, not putting on in the morning, going to the pub, then match , then pub again. Seeing the crowd in club colours is great but the shirts should be user friendly. Christ, even I'd buy one if they weren't made in such god awful material. Ajax did a really nice cotton classic shirt for the fans a few years back, sold really well. The drawback being the revenue that these cheap to produce, high retail garments bring to the club. In these straightened times, maybe a locally made natural fibre shirt could provide a few jobs and if the club was the driving force behind it , make a few quid into the bargain.

Unhinged Canary 375 Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) How spooky. Just listening to Jonny Vaughn talking to the guy who designed them.

Surfer 1,547 Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Check out Bristol Rovers - now there is. club that's had a few design changes http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Bristol_Rovers/Bristol_Rovers.htm 2015 looks "right" to me along with 1958 for a "old stye" kit 2001 - 02 are just OTT, and what happened at the club in 1962?

Surfer 1,547 Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) And Bradford who have a "unique color palette" - have had some wonderful and awful kits http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Bradford_City/Bradford_City.htm 1975 (just like the Palace kit referenced) 1983, 1996 (both version) and 2017 all pretty good. But what you can say about 1987, 1991, 2006 - 2008 and 2106 I really don't know I do love the "this is us, go fook yourself" attitude though.

Mello Yello 2,293 Posted August 9, 2020 These new shirt designs over the last few seasons are for the svelte.....certainly not for the Pilsbury Doughboy/Michelin Man type torso..... Regarding the current Palace home and away shirts they look ok to me..... Anyway, if our next home/away shirt goes with jeans and trainers, it'll do for me.....

A bit harsh Corkio. You don’t know people’s personal circumstances and the resources they have to change them. I always interpret the “I did this, so you can too” argument (normally it’s lecturing people for not being more ‘successful’) as “I have no empathy or imagination”. The fact you cite Hopkins and Putin doesn’t help! Edited August 11, 2020 by Nuff Said Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
