Good thread Sean...
BUT Please, please tell me you are joking?

The shirts when you look though have, by and large, shown a decent progression.
This shirt looks like something straight out of Best and Less imo.

Though the pie eating Hernadez mannequin doesn't do it any favours.
Bloody hilarious!

You can see the reasoning of the execs I guess...

* Exec Presenting to the board*

"Look, really, think about it, only 23 odd people with Athletic bodies are guaranteed to wear these... Whereas, if you think we'll probably sell a hundred thousand odd to supporters who look something a lot more like this!!

Looking through at them again, this kit would be in my bottom five.
And to compare it to shirts of 20 odd years ago is not exactly unfair.

I like how the mannequin has love handles, looking after the modern football fan.

Let's just pray its a bloody prototype.

 

[serious14]

I proper, PROPER hope those prototypes are fake.

Man I love that '05 jersey....

they used scott mcdonald as the dummy for it

 

[dibo]

Tell me your first reaction to the 05 jersey wasn't the same?

For mine, it's fugly but I love it because of what we achieved in it.

If we achieve something magic in it then I'm sure you'll think no ill of it.

 

[serious14]

Nah man, I really like the design.  I obviously love the '06 one for the reasons you stated, but it's just a _bit_ bare.

 

[kevrenor]

I've had the word that Nike are working on classic designs:

Chunder down under

Tragedy strip

Retro

 

[~Floss~]

IMO I dislike all except '74 & '06.

I would love 2010 to keep this tradition alive, but if that's our strip for this WC I'll buy a '74 instead

 

[dru]

If it has a proper crest on it I'll consider buying it, 05 is my favourite for that reason. Regret buying the 06 one for the printed on crest and it has only ever been used for indoor.

98-99 reminds me of a certain strip though.

 

[LFCMariners]

It's a pity that the '06 one has the Nike logo embroidered but the crest is printed. I'm not sure if I'm the only one who has found that, with a few washes, the silver drained from the emu and it is now a white bird instead?

My fav is the 03 jersy.
The one we beat England 3-1 in.
Was a great material too.

If they are the new jersys, I think they've just made it a lot harder for fans to seperate with money to get one.
In saying that, I will probably get one with WC badges etc on it.

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Those pics look vastly better than the others.
Colours especially but the stripe no longer looks flat etc...
Not unhappy with those at all, especially after seeing the fat dodgy mannequin ones first.

06 and 95 own the first, id kill for the second
