If I (probably like most other HTAFC fans) like to check out and assess and then form an opinion - Good, Bad or Indifferent - of all the new kits coming out from all other clubs in Britain and beyond and not wanting to derail Tom the Terrier’s thread about Town’s new kits - I’ve started this thread for other clubs new kits ! And so without any further ado - Here’s the first opinion and it’s on The Newcastle United Home top ! A very slick top - but my goodness the sponsor doesn’t fit their new club ethos for sure ! - SELA ? - Given that they’re the richest club in the universe now and will purchase the best players on the planet from here on in - Would ‘BUYA’ not be a more apt sponsor for The Magpies ! 😊 Attachment Deleted

The next one I’ve seen is The Arsenal home kit... Not too bad either but with a z’y (zeddy) zigzag type pattern through it - The big question is will The Gunners cannon their was through defensive lines with military precision and shoot anything in sight on their way to winning the war with their enemies in 2023/24... Or after their close but no cigar efforts last season will the hangover season kick in and the Footy be - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ! 😬 Attachment Deleted

Found another one here which is very smart (I’ve always liked light blue - Maybe it’s being a Town fanatic) ! - But it’s Manchester City’s effort for 2023/24 and it’s also slick - just like their well oiled machine on the field of play - although I detest in a ‘sporting’ context the way they’ve done it ☹️ 😬 Now - it’s gonna be the shirt of The Premier League Champions - It’s gonna be the strip of The FA Cup winners - but will it be the jersey of The European Cup Winners and ultimately The European Champions ! - Not too long to find out now - and despite the way they’ve done it should they prevail - I hope they do it tonight as it’s nice to see a new name on any trophy, and if they didn’t win (purchase) it in that horrible way football is going then I guess someone else would... Good Luck to them tonight though - But ABSOLOUTLY NOT in The Premier League next season as they try to (and sadly probably will) buy 4-in-a-row League titles ! Attachment Deleted

Scandalous prices for The Man City tops - (and probably other ‘massive’ club’s as well)...
£75 - plain top... £100 - plain top with name and number... £120 - Authentic top - whatever the hell that is !
All I can say is - Thank God that I fell for Huddersfield Town ! 😊 😊 😊

£75 for a shirt?!?! I won’t pay £50 for a Town one, mind you I don’t buy the shirts anymore anyway. So I guess my stance is a moot point but it’s silly prices; the kids wanting new shirts and the parents feeling pressured to purchase them.
Moral of the story is don’t have kids. 😉

Both of the women's shirts look nicer than the mens ones.

Not had a Newcastle top since around 2010/11, a blue away kit, mainly to have a kick about in, not had a black and white top for about 20 years as a lad, but think I will buy this one. It'll shift huge numbers because I think a lot of people were holding off until Fun88 were gone. I think it looks good.
I'll hold off a couple of weeks though, because this was the queue before 8am today. Reminds me of the Keegan days in the 90s, ha.

I know with black and white stripes as with our blue and white stripes it’s difficult to do something new/different. But both look great. Simple and clean

Celtic could do worse than use The Left and Centre top as an away or third top (not that they need one with their unique Green & White Hoops - but money, turnover, profits, greed and all that)... The one on The Right would make a nice Dumbarton FC top for 2023/24 ! 😊

Moral of the story is don’t have kids. 😉 What gets me is when clubs bring out unnecessary third kits, some clubs wont 'need' to wear it all season but will wear it a small number of times to justify its existence and then charge people £50 upwards for the privelage, shirt prices are pretty disgusting tbh, also the new town shorts are going to be £30 for an adult, and socks are going to be £12, no thanks.

Celtic certainly don’t need an away kit far less a third one... But profits and all that - and it’s no doubt a good reason why they’ve net bank assets of £59 million at their last accounts - And their tops are everywhere in Scotland and probably Ireland too - Home, and the unrequired away and third ones as well - and they’ll no doubt be at Man City & Co. prices as well !

One would love a Town shirt (I did get the pink away one for them this season) but the other prefers Town hoodies etc. I’ll just have a Town pin badge or keyring and make do 😅

Be a bit of a struggle when they go to Easter Road. This is something that irkes me massively Porroh as it did ma late wee Gran who was a Hibernian supporter ! The Hi-Bees top is broadly Green with the white yolks on the upper arms - Aye they both play in White shorts but so do lots of teams and Celtic have white socks and Hibs have Green ones - It’s honestly not too bad a clash and was played like this at both clubs’ stadium’s until The mid 90’s... Attachment Deleted Attachment Deleted Attachment DeletedA lot of fans of both teams are apoletic with rage and say it is a deliberate SFA policy to devalue ‘The Battle of The Greens’ - Up here where football governance is toxic, petty and full of skullduggery it could easily be the case - but I suspect both clubs will be quietly content - as it’s another excuse to sell ‘more kits’ that they wouldn’t normally have to unlike say - Rangers, St. Johnstone, Ross County, Dundee, Inverness Caley Thistle, Raith Rovers, Queen of the South, Falkirk, Peterhead and Stranraer who all wear a common blue top and would need a change of strip v each other !

Don’t get the foootball shirt as a fashion item to be worn on a night out..
There needs to be rules enforced by the fashion police imo..
Ok to wear your team’s colours to a game but nowhere else..
But only if you’re under 40..
40 years or older..
There are no circumstances where it’s ok to wear a football shirt..
Custodial sentences for repeat offenders..
🍻🍻

Absolute melts. Get in the sea. It's got absolutely nothing to do with betting, it could have previously been 'Sports Direct', 'Flannels', 'House of Fraser' or whatever else plastered across the front and it would have been exactly the same, likewise the new sponsor (hypothetically) could have been Bet365 or whatever and the sheer demand for shirts would have exactly been the same. Fun88 and the stingy £6m a year was more a permanent reminder of the Ashley era, the fallen stock as a club, the relegations, Steve Bruce, and the whole apathy, whereas now, regardless of anyone's thoughts on Saudi Arabia, and the obvious controversial nature of it, the whole club and city is buzzing again, and there's a feel good factor not felt for 20+ years, and that's far more important to me, the club, and the region than the thoughts of a random forum poster called Tiro. Get in the sea yourself pal

Normally buy mine in the sale at either the season mid point or end of season sale. After all apart from one disastrous period in the late 60's when we went to an all blue shirt it's always been blue & white stripes in my lifetime.
