united v city game (the strips)

[caley89]

who saw the game today and who thought the plain strips were smart?

i thought without the sponsorship and manufacture logos it made the shirts look much smarter, especially uniteds red with white v-neck.  :022:

anyone else agree, or do you think present day football strips are better?

[Kingsmills]

I agree entirely, sadly however, we're unlikely to see unadulterated strips in senior football ever again.

Instead teams wera stuff like this:

I really thought the strips looked so much better without all the ad's and icons. It'll never happen now though, not in these lets-make-as-much-money-we-can days of the game we love. And that's a shame.

I thought the strips looked far better and the Man City ones without the sponsors were quite good too.  It's shame though, that teams now seem to be more interested in making big bucks than anything else and I don't believe that it will be a long before all teams shirts everywhere are nothing but adverts like in the picture above.

city won......plain strips for life if we win with them!! :021: :021:

[Kingsmills]

Even at our level, our shirt sponsorship package pays the wages of two first team regulars on average wages.

No club is going to give that up for the sake of a more aesthetically pleasing top.

or what if the 1st team play in shirts that have sponsorships (like present day) and the club sell the shirts to fans without sponsorship on them  :024:

great win for City

I was at school last time we(City) beat that lot at Old Trafford, loads of scrapping in the school playground on the Monday......fantastic result (and performance)

Thought the kits looked good, as did the numbering 1-11. It'll never come back though
