Finnegan Posted 7 July 2013 Posted 7 July 2013 I'd have voted indifferently if that was an option, it's just a fairly standard Leicester kit. I don't know what all the fuss is about. It's not the best we've had it's not the worst. It's okay, i don't mind it.
CKB Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 I don't have a problem with it at all, infact i quite like it... It's much better than last seasons imo!
lavrentis Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 Much prefer last seasons imo, cleaner without the silly gold bits. It looks something a bit like recent past Leicester kits
HoustonFox Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 Do people not remember the Fox Leisure kits where the sleeves went over your elbows they were so long? Yet i've seen plent of people pine after those kits while complaining about the length of the Puma kit's sleeves. Not aimed at you just a general observation. No worries dude. My FL shirt sleeves weren't that long actually. 94-95 shirt still pretty nice fit.
ozleicester Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 not the best, not the worst... just glad its the last one we will wear in the championship
An Away Move Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 I was so disappointed by it. I was up in Leicester this weekend with the full intention of buying it. I hate the gold. For me it is totally chav bling. Maybe it's because I'm over 40? I bought the dark training top instead and a Tigers shirt. Both of which are far classier. I was so dissapointed.
MC Prussian Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 Dislike it because it isn't our kit. Just another cloned template, no different to several other clubs. No uniqueness, no identity, nothing exclusive to Leicester City. What makes you think we as Leicester City are entitled to something "different" or unique? Looking at this kit and others in the league, I'd say we've come out of this deal with our heads held up high. The gold bit and the badge's position might be debatable, but it's a more than decent shirt in my opinion.
An Away Move Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 I'd love to buy the retro 70's top, but the alsation dog on the badge puts me off. Why can't they put a fox on it?!

Leicester_Numan Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 We haven't had a decent Leicester City kit since 2004 By Leicester Mercury Monday, July 08, 2013 FOLLOW Somehow, a long, long time ago, Leicester City acquired my e-mail address. I don’t know if I gave it to them in a misplaced “please tell me only positive news about my football club†way, or if they acquired it by other means. All I know is it was a mistake. Ever since, Leicester City have carpet-bombed me with tedious information. Do I want an expensive season ticket? Dining opportunities at Banks’ Bar Grill, or the Fosse Club Bistro? Insipid club-approved news on their hard-to-fathom, randomly-punctuated website? ​ No thanks. I don’t want any of that. The one thing I did like – when they used to e-mail me a few weeks before my birthday and offer me cut-price tickets for an up-and-coming home game, like they cared about me, as if we were mates who went back a long way and they wanted to see me right – has sadly come to an end. It was the one thing that made the rest of the hoopla worthwhile. They e-mailed me the other day to tell me they were bringing out a new kit for next season. A new kit!? Another one, I hear you say – but didn’t they have a new kit last year? And, indeed, the year before that? When did this new-kit-every-year routine begin again? I remember when they tried that a few years ago and there were nearly riots in the West End. People were, quite rightly, aghast. There was such a storm of protest they quietly went back to the two-year kit cycle and everything was once again right with the world. Yet now, in the teeth of the worst recession for 80 years, it’s apparently fine to ask fans and hard-up parents to shell out for a new kit every year once again. Crazy. It’s at times like this you want the senior members of the Foxes Trust, the Leicester City supporters’ group, to rise from their complimentary King Power seats and champion the rights of City’s hard-up fans, demanding to know why this is happening. Did they do that? I didn’t hear about it if they did. I rarely hear about anything they do these days. In fact, are they still around? I wonder how many members they have now? I checked on their website, just in case they’d been waging a worthy and steadfast battle on our behalf. If they had, they were keeping quiet about it. There was one mention of the new kit. It would be out on July 6, they said. That was it. Cheers for that, chaps. Maybe they fought their valiant battle before that. I don’t know. I know very little about them these days. I suspect this though – seeing as I’ve had the temerity to mention them here in less than glowing terms, I am fairly sure they will write in and say I’m wrong. They did last time I mentioned them. Anyway, a new kit. Another one. I am not so devoid of boyish enthusiasm that I can’t still muster a little bit of excitement about a new City kit. I hope it’s nice. We’re due a decent one. We’ve had two decent ones, by my reckoning, in the past 25 years – the Bukta three-legged fox kit circa 1991, and the simple Le Coq Sportif Alliance and Leicester kit circa 2004. The rest have been underwhelming, if expensive. Predictably expensive. This is the rub, isn’t it, with a new kit every year – the soul-destroying expense of it. I have two kids. I know, given the choice, they would like nothing more than for Dad to arrive home tonight with two new City kits. Unfortunately, this won’t happen. Instead, I took them down the club shop last week and we got two kits from last year for the much more reasonable price of £7.50 each. Bosh. Sorted. Like their father with his Christmas TK Maxx voucher, they’re a year behind the times. They’re not quite old enough to realise the significance of this, the footballing fashion faux pas that’s happening here, but I think as long as Leicester City are launching a new kit every year, then I’ll continue to buy last year’s shirt for 70 per cent of the cost. I’d advise you to do the same. And then, maybe one day, when we all do this, the grey suits that run clubs like Leicester City will sit up and take notice. They’ll come to regards us as fans again, rather than customers to be milked at every available opportunity.
Father Ted Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 It would be interesting to do like/dislike polls on other recent home kits to compare.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 It would be interesting to do like/dislike polls on other recent home kits to compare.I prefer this new one to last seasons shirt personally
Harry - LCFC Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 What makes you think we as Leicester City are entitled to something "different" or unique? Looking at this kit and others in the league, I'd say we've come out of this deal with our heads held up high. The gold bit and the badge's position might be debatable, but it's a more than decent shirt in my opinion. Every club is entitled to something different, not just us. What I hate so much about templates is that they take away a bit of identity IMO. Fans all over the country go to watch a club that they identify as their own, special to them. Having the same template as someone else blurs the boundaries between clubs by making them look alike. I know this is an exaggerated analogy but it's a bit like wearing coloured bibs for a match, just used to distinguish one team from the other rather than one club from another (did that make sense?). The design itself doesn't bother me particularly but honestly I'd rather have a bad kit than a template, just so we can have a kit that is ours and only ours. I don't feel that the shirt on sale at the club shop is ours unfortunately, it's Puma's.
GorlestonFox Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 Dislike it because it isn't our kit. Just another cloned template, no different to several other clubs. No uniqueness, no identity, nothing exclusive to Leicester City. The badge?
Bayfox Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 I like it, better than last years. We shal be mostly wearing it in Torquay next week at their friendly v Yeovil. whens that. like to get to plainmoor.
Harry - LCFC Posted 8 July 2013 Posted 8 July 2013 The badge? Well yeah of course But you know, a kit's more than just the badge. I just don't like the idea of wearing the same stuff as someone else, everyone should be different.
Head Honcho Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Awful kit. Got to be in the three bad kits of all time...if not the worst.
Guest MattP Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 wtf is the gold about? Nothing to do with this football club.
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Hoping for an illuminous orange or green away stripOr illuminous yellow similar to Borrussia Dortmund would be good
wakeyfox01 Posted 9 July 2013 Posted 9 July 2013 Looks much better when it's worn by someone than seeing it hanging in the shop
keech Posted 9 September 2013 Posted 9 September 2013 Same color football kit Aston Villa shirts West Ham United shirt Which is your favorite?
Fox in the North Posted 9 September 2013 Posted 9 September 2013 I really like west hams. It's nice and smart and Adidas haven't tried to be clever.
