22/23 Kit

[WoodyFox]

Is that white stripes, white collar but gold sleeves and badge? WTF 

[FoyleFox]

It's just astonishing that Ash (and others) manage to design some absolutely blinding concept kits, presumably from their spare bedrooms. But the people we actually pay millions of pound notes to professionally design us a kit, come up with such uninspired dross. With a tea bag stained badge FFS!

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Fans of other clubs will no doubt call us the teabaggers, someone high up has a lot to answer for because truly we have been done dirty

I reckon the only way that changes is to go with a smaller manufacturer, or we'll just keep getting the same template dross with small imputs frorm the club

Only thing that salvages this is a blue sash/black away or third strip.

1. Just in case anyone doubts it, that is the shirt
 

2. Never second guess @Ashley

 

3. Collars on v-neck shirts never look good

 

4. Don’t change the badge on a home shirt

Amazed people hate it more than last season's. We looked like Ipswich or Birmingham last season - the shirt should be solid blue, not some wishy washy crap pattern

 

Looks good to me

Can we find the little **** tease who suggested this pattern was on our home kit this season

Make the collar and cuffs blue (with maybe a small white trim on the collar), the Adidas badge white, use the normal Leicester badge and add subtle pattern to the shirt and it could have been a classic.

 

It's so obvious with our kits that we get an choice of templates and then someone at the club decides what colour each element should be. There is no way anyone in a design profession go with the choices we have over the last few years.

The marketing manager needs to do a bit of customer research before picking the kit next year. It’s literally the marketing manager who picks the kits.

Ok. If you say so. It’s the marketing department who choose the kits based on what they think will sell.

I mean it'll be a commity of people, and the people who sign off such an important thing will be director level, likely a commercial director.... you know what with it being the commercial director who has a target attached to sell the ****ing thing  

 

Your edit isn't correct either. I'm speaking from knowledge not just flippently dismissing you

 it has nothing to do with a marketing manager at all. They will just be told what the kit is and then to market it! 

 

People at saying that gold is because of the owners? if this is true why wouldnt they have an gold on their Jockey Silks for KP racing? they literally picked their silks (blue and white) to match Leicester's colours.

We had a pink kit the other year because the marketing department thought it would sell well. You lot are giving way too much credit to the commercial side of the club. We are nowhere near as organised as people think. 

[lcfcsnow]

We have some wrong uns employed at our club, whoevers signed this off and all the match day goal music claptrap it’s just embarrassing.

 I'm not saying they don't have a say in it, if they're savvy (which they're not) they'd be on here every day, it's a goldmine, you could make a fortune off the insight we generate! 

 

I'm just saying decisions/sign off come from much higher. 

[MonkeyTennis?]

If this is our last year with Adidas, then its a pretty fitting culmination of their kits for us - in that its the most basic template kit imaginable. 

 

That said, I don't know what I think about it: Is it simple and kind-of retro in a good way, or simple in a lazy, boring way? Not sure.

They might have a choice, but it’s a bog standard limited choice presented by adidas.

I mean, yeah, I thought that was obvious. Its only the clubs in Adidas' A-tier who get access to custom designs. We're in their B-tier so we get the choice of a bunch of templates with some small added extras like detailing/ patterns compared to the C-tier

My point being that it’s someone at the club deciding what aspects of the kit are which colour, rather than a designer at Adidas. No designer would go for that colour combination.

[Craig]

I can’t get over how bad this is  

 

 

[Samilktray]

I know most of the people in this thread are right and know that it’s a crap shirt, but I can imagine it being quite a popular kit due to people loving anything remotely retro looking.
