Modern jerseys are crap

The advertising on shirts is hideous. Who wants to be a billboard? It demeans the human that bears it and dilutes the pride of what the shirt represents. It is the fog horn of consumerism, detestable and ugly.

Never buy anything advertised is my mantra. If it were any good it would sell on reputation. If enough people realised this it would stop working and we could rid our environment of this visual litter.

That is all.

I take it you haven't got a GOT mug then. :)
 
I don’t know how accurate the colour reproduction is, but the 1969-70 Royal Blue is my absolute favourite, both colour and overall design (and the similar blue in late 70s shirts). The ‘blue’ in shirts seems to have wandered all over the place in the last few decades.

You are a visionary.
 
Do they still have them sports jerseys for schools that have a stripe on them when you turn it inside out?
 

Everton’s shirts are particularly bad. I don’t know why we try our best to produce training tips, inside out kits, Wigan kits, or something that looks like a rugby league kit. I hate to say it but that lot over the park have turned out some decent kits recently under New Balance. Our Angry Birds logo is far too big and we can never seem to resist a stupid collar or pattern or bit of neon on the sleeve. Wouldn’t be hard to create a really classy looking royal blue Everton kit but it seems to be beyond Umbro these days.
 
The problem is the need to produce a new shirt every season. There are only so many versions of blue and white you can produce.

Same for every club really.

Except Watford. They should never have done away with yellow shirts and red shorts

Ah we have had a few beauties over the years , it depends on the maker and the deal I reckon. Midnineties and early 00’s if we had the same supplier as Chelsea it would be same jersey identical except crest abd sponsor. I miss the days of getting excited over the fade or the in print design , subtle additions. You get good ones and bad ones . Just like lawnmowers and kebabs
