Not maroon, but claret, brown, plenty similar shades are all over English football.

Claret is completely different to maroon. And there's one club that where maroon that I can think of, Northampton. And maybe 4 that wear claret, Villa, Burnley, West Ham and Scunthorpe. It hardly all over English football.

I don’t get what everyone sees in this kit. The sides look like they were taken from a completely different shirt, it’s got strange white armpit patches; it’s plain (which I usually like) but there’s nothing classic about it. I don’t see the point of introducing maroon and then not doing something that makes the shirt stand out for being bold, classic, or memorable in any way.

Does anyone actually know the answer to this

The Thailand Smiles With You sponsor is for PL games, not UEL. Why put Europa League sponsors on this shirt?

Also, what is it about football shirts that turn all of into fashion designers? 😂

The bold, classic or memorable bit about the shirt is surely this new colour?

Not when you're colourblind, like 8% of the population. If we use the third kit when there's plenty of contrast with the opponent's kit I'll be happy.

Love the new kit. Don’t usually buy a replica shirt, but may be tempted to buy the maroon version.

So it’s completely different to the 92% of the population who aren’t colourblind. 
 

Plus, this will only affect the ‘red-green’ affected which is again, a percentage of colourblind people, so it’ll be lower than 8%. 
 

Back to the kits... I just love a round neck and hate the v-necks.

And somehow the shirt still manages to be none of that. 

 

Oh, well, as long as we win in it, I won’t care!

Disagree.  I think the fact it is a new colour certainly does that - a bit like the pink kit did last year.

I guess you simply don’t like the kit?

My point being Claret and Maroon are completely different colours. Colour blind on not, they are different, regardless of how someone interprets them.

They may be different. Not everyone sees them as different.

I'd suggest in theory maroon is more of a brown tone whilst claret a red tone. 

 

In practice however there appears to be very little difference!

[Jimothy]

OK, even if we lump maroon and claret together because 8% of people have colour blindness 🙄,  that's still only 5 teams out of the 96. In comparison there are 11* teams who have white or mainly white shirts (Fulham, Leeds, Spurs, Derby, Preston, Swansea, MK Dons, Bolton, Newport, Port Vale, Tranmere). Seeing as @Nicolo Barella was complaining the maroon kit was too common whilst liking the white one, its obviously bull.

 

*That doesn't include all the teams that have large amounts of white on their shirt, in stripes or quarters like Newcastle, Sunderland, Blackburn, Sheff Utd, Sheff Wed, and many more. And again I'm not even considering the ones who have white away shirts, whilst I doubt there's another maroon/claret away kit out there.

The pink kit was executed much better all around which much better touches, and a nicer looking badge, IMO. This one is awkward and has strange elements (armpits, sides, badge, mismatched stripes to the shorts, etc.).

Claret vs Maroon. I love the pointless arguments we have on foxestalk. It reminds me of rose vs cinquefoil all over again.

I feel silly getting involved now. I just wasn’t having it that because some people can’t see the difference, that it means they aren’t different. 

[copunk]

Some on here moaning about our 3rd kit, take a look at the Wolves away kit, will make you feel better about the maroon

Cinquefoil, a rose by any other name?

[Blue ROI]

The maroon kit looks alright.We had one of those admiral retro tracksuits in maroon a couple of years ago too. Fairly decent.

 

Wish the home kit had the same collar.

Ok point taken. I will retract my previous argument. Maroon is a stinky colour and there's a reason it's never used in kits 

[HighPeakFox]

I suppose this is slightly preferable to getting upset about players we won't ever sign.
