We've got a fancy dress party coming up soon eighties style themed, it was recommended to me that I get myself a shell suit to go in, to which I replied "where the fcuk where would you find one this day and age"
Well done Stoke you've answered my question.
I wouldn't be seen dead in that crappy looking shite, as said tatty.

I was looking forward to the training kit but have to say I am disappointed. Like an earlier poster I don't get the blue at all when we are using green in the away kit. And there is not an inch of red anywhere!
I don't like the contamination of the badge either but that's just my own view on branding. I accept the colour debate but then I think we should always look to design kit where our colours are incorporated in some way. The argument about needing to continually change the colours of the away kit don't stack up commercially either. Teams who stick with a formula don't seem to have trouble selling shirts. I dislike Arsenal as much as the next Stokie but the yellow on show in the cup final was impressive and when you look closely there were many generations of yellow. There is a clear identity there. You can design a shirt that makes it feel different whilst retaining the identity.
If we compare our NB training kit to Liverpool it is a poor effort which makes me think we are a poor relation. Finally, NB clearly can produce exactly what a club wants. Seville like a plain kit and that's what they get. Perhaps we need to talk to supporters about what we'd like. It's called market research. And that includes the badge if people are not happy with it.

Been to look at them today. Design wise they are very smart. Good colours and very modern.
However, like the kits they are very cheap in quality with iron on badges.
It just isn't acceptable against the cost.

How many of you are actually going to "train" in it?
I bought two of last season's training tops to train in and they're both still as good as new after loads of washes.
Moan for moaning sake some folk.

Apart from the fact that suppliers have there own designers! Truth is I've seen better efforts by some of the guys on here. Referring mainly to home and away shirt here. Much much better.

It just isn't acceptable against the cost. I'm not usually one to argue over pricing but the cost for a top for me with name and badges plus kits for 2 kids is bloody expensive. I'll obviously get them but I'm not too happy about it. With that kind of money they could at least fill in a fucking corner

I think the training wear design is better than liverpools as its nice and simple. The iron on badge is average nornally falls off, all these teams look for alternatives but nothing beats embroiding the badge. When your paying 30 40 quid should be getting good quality,embroiding a badge wouldnt cost more than a couple of quid.

Out of curiosity, badge aside, how is the quality of the stitching, fit, and material?

My lad's had a few bits of the training gear and the Walk Out Jacket has an embroidered badge, it looks fantastic, the quality is top drawer and he loves it. £40 mind.

the best tops are the ones with the embroidered badge (£45). They are really smart, well made and will be getting the kids one

For people complaining about badges falling off, stop washing your clothes at 80 degrees, they'll be fine.

Apart from the price, what's the difference between the presentation jacket and rain jacket?
