The Kit Thread - Season 2021/22

[Chimpy Glassman]

From The Urban Dictionary. A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from their own. Person extremely intolerant of others and irrespective of reasoning.

No, he's not making bigoted claims himself. He's saying this is what other people will do. He's using that excuse.

 

[Pabbers]

Its a stunner, and im shocked its took this long for a black watch kit.

For me we should keep it as an away kit, its proper stunning.

Joking apart, how is the sizing on Hummel's gear? If I'm straddling across a size range, do I need to go up or down to get a better fit?

I got a 4XL for this season’s home which fit but had a bit of snugness (not helped by lockdown), pre ordered this shirt in a 5XL just to be safe

He's basically Donald Trump.

"I'll say this ridiculous, inane thing today, but tomorrow I'll say something even more ridiculous and inane, and everyone will forget about today's"

Essentially, yes. It's a personality disorder. Although it might not be deliberate.

No, they dyed it black so it didn't show the stains as much. Previous kits were white.

This is the genius of the kit for me.

Black will cover up those pesky wee stains after we draw at home to Norwich on the opening day.

So, how's the harmless new kit going down?

So just to recap:

Everton have brought out a "Black Watch" kit that in fact isn't the red sash included in the "Black Watch" kit, but a "burnt orange" sash - and they're putting it on the backs of people from a sectarian scarred city like Liverpool...just when the Northern Ireland situation is getting out of hand again and could be adopted by bigoted and politically and religiously motivated elements.

Please, dont let anyone here say they cant or dont see the ramifications of this ridiculous and disgraceful choice for an Everton kit.

 

[Leylo]

Got to echo most opinions in here, they’ve absolutely smashed it with that kit, historic and stylish.

I haven’t bought a kit since the black puma one but could do with a new one for five a side... are they all horrible and skin tight now or do they have a bit of give for the more rotund gent?

Be tight, just put a girdle on for footy you'll look fine

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

He done it when we signed Digne,

“the minute he has a bad game, everyone will jump on THAT tattoo.”

Hasn’t been mentioned since.

Mate, if you go back I'm sure there are thousands of claims.

And one or two will be correct.

Last year they were tight shall we say.

That's not true. They dyed it black for uniformity.

“Some complaints WILL be false…”

5XL?!?!?!

I quite like it - especially when it became clear the sash was orange and not blue. One of our local teams here in Belfast played this season in a second strip which is purple with an orange sash (The colours of the UVF). The club is largely supported by Protestants so they were more than happy to wear it. Linfield said the colours were chosen for purely fashion reasons. I have seen flute bands with less gaudy attire. At one point no Roman Catholics played for Linfield but that has long since changed as our country catches up with normality.

Ah yes that famously fashionable combination of purple and orange.

He'll be saying the black on the kit is racist next...
