Personally, I like the all white kit. Makes us look really elite and strong IMO.

And the modern kit started as a tribute to Preston NE.
General colour, yes, it's important.
I'm not a fan of all white either.
But my word the whining over kit design every fucking year drives me bananas.
Having to explain to them, every time, that we get this weird shit every year because Nike pay us a lot of money and they have to make it back. You can't just sell 1 plain white shirt for 10 years and keep making money.
So just GTF over it.

- actually I’m wrong, forgot our very first recorded kit was “dark blue”. The club was formed before this but this was the first one recorded.
Also:
Hmm. One of those bits of trivia I always took at face value.
Also:
Apparently it was reported in a paper that we wore a kit “like Preston North End” but it seems that was twisted over the years to be that it was in tribute to them.
I don't mind a bit like that, but the AIA logo is HUGE and takes up so much space on the front. I also hate it when the stadium goes all red when they put up the AIA advertising - what's wrong with white??I fully understand and get your pathological hatred of all things red, so I've often wondered how you feel about our old club badge.
Personally, I see the red as yet another thing they've tried to steal from us, out of envy. Always our scummy, poor, unwelcome cousins, who've moved in down the road.
Agreed. A white AIA logo on a white shirt gets my vote.
That's interesting, because it reinforces the idea that beauty (or in this case, strength) is in the eye of the beholder - because I see the blue shorts/white shirt combo as a much stronger look than all white, which I see as a bit weak & lily-livered. As a player, I'd hate to be in an all white strip.
However, the taupe jim-jams seem to be bucking the trend pretty much every time they're worn. I've gone from hating them to loving them.
The best away team in the PL wears taupeYou'll change your mind when we clinch the Premier League title wearing them.
I'm a luddite, I liked the sky blue version, can not work out how to add the picture!!!Our colours should essentially always be…
I've bought that shirt recently, so smart, I love it.
But you're absolutely right, should never be seen in public with white shorts.
I'm torn now, because I'd want this to be assigned to the dustbin after this season, but of course I want us to win.You'll change your mind when we clinch the Premier League title wearing them.
I have generally hated the majority of out away kits ,especially the "grey/pink /brown" thing we currently have.
I am happy with all white kits for Europe only as its a statement. I do like the traditional blue shorts , white top combo.

I see your point, but I don't think the choice is just plain white shirt versus Nike kit. I think having variety in kits is fine as long as they are not embarrassing. In many cases across the league it looks like the designers ran out of ideas and looked into air sickness bags for inspiration. Keep the alternative kits, just don't make players wear kit that has no discernable connection to team history or good taste.
Taste is subjective........ The fact is our most garish kit ever was a big seller.
Personally; I think our 1st and 2nd kits should be trad. colours and the 3rd should be fun and something that is a bit more varied from year to year.
I also think the all white this season looks pucka.
I like all 3 kits this season.
