    And now it looks like Southampton's away shirt will be the inverse of what we will have.

    On the plus side, it does look sharp, but a BIG possible minus..Does this mean there are going to be a few teams w/the identical look?? :angry-banghead:

    Yes, I like that look. But would it be all that different from MLS, where everyone gets an Adidas kit?

    Yes, it's different. MLS has almost no repeated color combos between teams and their separate Adidas jersey designs are all pretty unique. Some a little too unique like the argyle version of Sporting's kit. About the only thing they all have in common is the three stripes. Would be interesting to know the details of the Adidas-MLS deal and whether jersey variation was stipulated.

    That's what I was trying to say. Everyone in the MLS is sponsored with Adidas and they only have so many templates--but they don't look like each other. I imagine since MLS is run in a league dominate and not team dominate system, and that every team was assigned/limited to(?) different colors has something to do with it. But it's not like the teams in the Premier League, who have teams coming and going each year (thus may have similar team colors) have to choose the same exact template--even if they do, there seems to be some tampering the teams can do to a particular template. I do wonder if Adidas informs other clubs they sponsor in the same league that another team selected the same kit as them. Would seem to be the smart thing to do.

    Meh, guess I'll be waiting to see what the away jersey looks like. I am just not really digging the sponsor logo on that shirt.

    Why aren't the 3 stripes going to the end of the sleeve? Add the font for our sponsor kind of clashing w/our shield and while it's better than Kappa have to agree w/DCH.

    Not impressed at all with the new kits. Pretty disappointed by the sponsor logo as well. Had high hopes for adidas but now it's kinda meh. Love the Puma kits Heather posted. I guess I'll have to wait a few more years for another change.

    I also don't like the Adidas logo in the middle. Would look more evenly if it was opposite the badge over the left side rather in the middle.

    I didn't realize the FxPro deal was up this year. Did anybody else? Kinda wish they had stayed. Their logo looks a darn sight better than this one. So did LG's Oh, well, I'll try to reserve some judgment until I actually see them on the pitch. The shorts are decent. I'm sure they'll be out of my price range anyway.

    Gonna start hitting ebay for some old Deuce stuff, maybe. NOT Kappa.

    what a godawful, pukey design for a home kit. I've waited three seasons to be rid of the pedophile Kappa logo and finally buy a new Fulham shirt, and they give us this abomination?

    :doh: forgot about the patches. Hard to make any sponsor logo look good on a jersey, but the outlined box around the title is going to take some getting used to. Wish we could do better than a betting service. Wasn't this sponsor available?

    Sorry to ruin it for any of you who like this jersey, but move the armband to the chest, reverse the colors and it's eerily similar, but maybe I'm being too picky. I assume the club is not aware that some people refer to our badge/logo as a Nazi Christmas tree.

    I think you are being too picky.

    This, on the other hand, looks pretty darn good compared to our recent efforts. Even the logo isn't too awful.

    It looks better than ours, but not digging the logo on that either.

    I usually think Adidas is pretty blah but this time they out did themselves. There is not one thing I like about this shirt. Worse than being ugly it is just plain boring. There is not one single pleasant, eye-catching element to the shirt.
