How cripplingly insecure is that? My guess - zero would be the number who had the fear in the first place, then you'd need to take into acount the 0% of that 0% who would actively post something they don't believe in order to publicly allay suspicions that no-one had in the first place, instead of just saying nothing.

Shite - surprised that there's anyone around that's that old. Who knows - if any of our younger fan base live to be that old, they might be in with a chance of getting to watch us win that fookin' thing all over again. Imagine that!

A pink shirt is a pink shirt, love it or hate it because you don't like the color or because you don't like being charged more for a slightly pimped template. That's fine. Everything else is just conjecture. Once you come up with these socio-political connotations, let me remind you that there have been pink kits at other clubs before - Everton had one, Partick Thistle did ten years ago, or do US Palermo as a whole suddenly qualify as "gay" because pink is their prominent club color? That's Edinson Cavani btw, a guy who wears his Christian faith on his sleeve. I personally like our pink shirt. Something different in the world that is PL football kits this season. I think Juve used to play in pink, as well, before they copied Nott's County's kit. Not a joke. I may be wrong.

The pink kit kept fading so one of the players, who was english, had a mate who was a notts county supporter and he got him to ship a load of their shirts over.

Nalis Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 On a side note, I used to love the Germany 1990 kit style but the nostalgic trend of it being used everywhere in the last 5 years is getting boring.

I had heard the stripes / Notts Co story before ... ..... but what I've only just realised is that their away kit seems to have been a continuation of that tradition. As of quite recently, and for a few years, it has been pink! Although not this season it seems.
simpmeister Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 All of this nonsense over a bloody kit Some people need to get a grip. For what its worth, I love it.
ARM1968 Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 Who doesn’t like a bit of Pink? Get the party started.

As previous stated this is kind of my issue with it. Can't we try to come up with our design which is unique and classic to Leicester. Palermo and Juventus have had some lovely pink shirts. It winds me up our ever changing away colours. Football shirts are predominantly bought for identity I think, so get an away colour fixed and play with make a good original design
Legend_in_blue Posted 23 August 2019 Posted 23 August 2019 I wouldn't buy it and don't particularly like it for the simple reason I wouldn't buy a pink shirt to wear at work either.
HybridFox Posted 13 October 2019 Posted 13 October 2019 Anyone else seen the update from the club that this is the final batch of pink shirts on sale? Seems quite absurd that there won't be anymore produced in the second half of the season. (I usually get mine half price later hence I'm a little concerned )
AyewJoking Posted 13 October 2019 Posted 13 October 2019 Probably botched and want to flog as many as possible.
Jattdogg Posted 13 October 2019 Posted 13 October 2019 After this years sad showing, the club need a statement kit next season and not something based on a template.

After years of Le Coq Sportif, JJB, Joma and Fox Leisure, i wont lose any sleep over another Adidas template.

Lol true but i wont be paying top dollar for a glorified training top with KP and city badge on it when i can get the same thing for half price without the badges etc. Perhaps its "plasticky" but i just want something original that nobody else has or has had kit wise.

Wait until we are champions league for next season, and we might be MASSIVE enough for that.

Le coq sportif did some belting shirts for us and they've put some corkers out for teams on the continent in recent seasons

Maybe i just have bad memories of that LG shirt because Thurmaston Co-op printed premier league numbers on the back of my Division One shirt and my dads response was to shout at the poor bloke behind the desk. Co-op stopped doing shirt printing soon after...
