Hold on.
You said "Why does anyone care what the kit looks like".
Now you're getting into the politics of the sport, international marketing and relations etc.
That's got nothing to do with it from a fans perspective.
It's simply - this is our team, we play in a sport where the shirts are purchased and worn by fans, and we want a shirt that looks as good as possible. For me it's literally that simple. It can change dramatically from last season's - that's fine - just make it look decent still.
I think the leaked pic looks horrible because it appears to be like an XXL in that photo. I'm sure it will look better on the players in full kit. If it looks like that mock up on Alli with the dark socks it would actually be gorgeous. The one in the leaked photo looks awkwardly like a hockey jersey.
The Under Armour kits have been pretty good. Nothing special but nothing terrible. I actually really like the sash kit.
Please can I have my rep back
I think the reason that Kits seem to matter, is that they represent a club and, more importantly (if we're going there) the club's colours... which if we're really going there harks back to Times of Battle and Heraldry and Flags etc.
Any flag or 'Colour' (as in 'Trooping the...) representing an army Battalions' colours were vital in the heat and frenzy of battle, because it allowed each army to be recognized by not only the enemy, but by its' own Soldiers... you'd know what side you were aiming to shoot at or avoid...
Imagine if The Roundheads had suddenly had a marketing re-brand mid-
...the Cavaliers would've had a field day!
...and that's why it (still) matters!
'colours innit?
The worst kit I've ever seen in my living memory.
I wonder if ugly kits have any psychological impact on player's performance on the pitch. If that's the case then we afre trully fucked next season.

s'all startin' ta look very 'Murrican if y'all ask me!Not mine, but this kit will look sharp.
no place for red in my book,
can't wait to be wearing the new shirt on holiday as champions this summer
Bring it on
I don't mind how that new kit looks. That said, that's all I feel about it. 'Don't mind'.
Think I'll see what the away/3rd looks like and get one of them if they're nice enough.

I think the thing with the new kit, is they always look good in the pre-season sunshine, with the players all tanned and fresh... (not that they will be that fresh this pre-season, coming just 48 hours or so after Euros finish, especially for our lot, if it's an England v Belgium Final - as I fully expect it to be!!)
...it's just when you get to the drudgery of the winter months that the reality begins to seep in!
Something that looks like it should be worn in the NFL has no place at (cliche alert); "Stoke on a wet Wednesday"
...meh, it seems this year's and next year's (potentially) both have a bit of the LA Galaxy about them!

I've been happy with UA on the whole - red sponsor aside, the kits have looked good and the cut & quality is great (100% better than Puma, that was like wearing a potato sack).
Thing is with leaked pictures of kits hanging up in shops is without exception they all look crap.
It's not until you actually see it on the players, or in person that you can really decide - and I think this new one will look good when actually viewed properly.

I love my £40 drawer liners.
