Folk over on Toffeeweb are saying the hatch markings are in some way related to Goodison and Archie Leitch. Any one here think it's just the Umbro logo styled ?

Definitely, and consistent with the warm-up tops.

Most people that hate it are fat men envious they’ll never fit in one again.

Fam they even do 4xl this year, that must be like an actual tent.

Just out of some sort of curiosity i wanted to see how hard it is to design a kit. Gotta say, it is pretty tricky...
Took most of the design ques from old kits.

any similarity to other kits is a total coincidence. I just rushed this out without doing much research. I could do better(ish) with some time/effort/will.

Nice to see the return of plausible deniability.

Amazing that the backlash to that kit was so bad that next season they just went “f*** it” and gave us the plainest, most boring kit imaginable.

i think the kit is very quick, but just isn't fast.

But does it help the velocity of pass

I think it's 'ok' but I'm getting a pajamas vibe off it. It's been years since we had a really really good kit and I think this will only happen once we jump ship to Nike/UA/Adidas.

New kit looks alright. Like the bullens road crosses in it.

Feel like it's being said a lot lately, but again... the things people choose to have a problem with are so weird...

Doesn't bode well for the new stadium design release does it?

I don't think Dan Meis was involved with the kit design like

The two disciplines are quite distinct.

Interesting point, hadn't thought of that, but you are right

Why have they got Naismith back in to model the kit?

You're probably right as he'd be all over twitter leaving cryptic clues if he was.

Was referring more to the fan fume over something simple as a kit design rather than the more complex and longstanding stadium design than the fact the two processes might be linked.
