Re: 2013/14 Kit Thread Mk. I

[EarlyPrototype]

What do you lot think of these?

I reckon Vandeez is a fan lol.

[RedOranje]

They could use a bit more colour to break up the orange in places but otherwise I like them, to be honest.  They're bright enough to be eye-catching without being that blindingly ugly neon that is difficult to look at and the relative simplicity of the design gives them a subtle class.


EDIT: Those hair styles are absolutely atrocious though.

[RedOranje]

Plus orange is just an awesome colour in general.

[Art Morte]

Horrible kits and whoever was doing the photographing should have done some more encouragement, Marcelo Benz and Bale look like they just heard of a tax increase for La Liga footballers.

[Arquitecto]

I have a problem in the sense that the colour and hue of the orange isn't bright enough to stand out, thus looking more in tune of the jail-cell uniforms. Adidas have been rather lazy when it comes to Real Madrid designs lately with just adding pastel on a cut-out template, which is quite uninspiring.

Hairstyles? I don't think Marcelo's is bad in particular while Bale's is rather stylish.

Benzema, on the other hand.....

[RedOranje]

I like the darker, deeper orange. Going with a bright, neon colour would just make the kits look like lazy Dutch knock-offs while this burnt orange provides the kits with a unique feel.

And if Bale's hair style is the current fashion it only serves to strengthen my personal feelings on fashion and fads in general...

[Art Morte]

Hair's overrated anyway.

[RedOranje]

Not all of us can pull off the stately cue-ball look, unfortunately.

[Tomwin Lannister]

Yeah, definitely looks like a recycled prison jumpsuit.

[Raptorgunner]

Ugly shirts, they dont look happy.lol

[Arquitecto]

I can understand your point of view, Red. Maybe its just the cut-out template designs that have it look like another Real Madrid 3rd kit. Maybe something to compliment the jerseys would have been a better touch.

As for Bale's hairstyle, I am no index to follow for fashion, yet I can understand your distaste for the cut considering its overtly metrosexual approach.

[RedOranje]

It's nothing to do with sexuality... I wouldn't care if it was homo, hetero, metro or a-sexual. It's simply a rather ridiculous looking style that makes me think of a really bad comb-over job. It looks like Bale still has his bangs but is balding further back, and has decided to just grow the bangs out and use them to cover the rest of his head... absolutely atrocious.

loool, i am a fan. and considering the home kit looks awful this year imo, im going to go with the 3rd, though i do like the away as well- it looks too much like this one, which i have already

[Freeza]

Yeah, definitely looks like a recycled prison jumpsuit.

Well we're just embracing the 'thugdrid' nickname tbh, we're ready to watch some rugby now.
Anyways, the shirt is rather unique, and I think I'm going to get one when i gather the money

[Albiceleste]

away and third look terrible.

its hard to screw up white, and its clear they tried, dat comic sans-esque font

[McLewis]

Not sure what to think of that orange...reminds me of that dodgy-looking processed cheese/sauce-whatever you find in hot pockets.

Benz's hair though ...da hell is that?

[Rebaño Sagrado]

I like the 3rd. The away one is a bad shade of blue. Don't like that one at all.

[donttreadonred]

I must say, I am not a fan of the particular shade of orange. It's not the deep vibrant shade that Holland use, nor do I find it particularly eye-catching. In fact, it's a little earthy. There's certainly a clay tinge to it that prevents it from being truly vibrant. I can't imagine it looking particularly good, even under the lights. AS already mentioned, the prison uniform seems to be the best comparison.

This color has been done before, though. It's fairly reminiscent of Fulham's last few orange away shirts. Which is not a good thing, IMO.

Also, who did the photography. It looks like they set up that backdrop in someones garage. Seriously... I've seen better backdrops at high school dances.

[MaraVilla]

man wtf is up with benzema's hair cut?

[Kaladin]

benz wot the fudge

[Casciavit]

Okay, since all of the kits have been released, which kits rank in your top 5?

2014 Brazil and Argentina kits

[BarrileteCosmico]

It looks like the argentina kit has the logo in the middle, no stripes in the sleeves and a black collar  

Brazil's kit is very classy

[Yeezus]

New Germany Home shirt for 2013/14:



This would be okay if they wouldn't have decided to go with white shorts for that

[Arquitecto]

First time Germany aren't wearing black shorts.

Although the shirt is absolutely electric and very well designed.
