  • Abysmal as the Bolton shirt is (and don't get me wrong, it is abysmal), the two Liverpool shirts are worse. Really, I can't imagine what they were thinking.
  • I actually like the Liverpool away kit...the away white kits were boring I think this is a step up. Though I loved the black away kits they wore in the CL last year and would have liked that as an away kit.

    I think the green is also supposed to be a "throwback" of sorts but it is really, really awful.
  • There are a lot of ugly looking shirts this year. You would think that with the big TV money the clubs would want their products to look good :)
  • I'd actually say the Arsenal kits are pretty awful this year. And the Man U Away kit.

    It seems that clubs are trying to do too much or using colors that are not even in their schemes.

    Cheers to Spurs, Fulham, Middlesbrough, and Hull for pretty sleek and classic looking kits.
  • How was the Arsenal away kit left off of this list? I like the Liverpool Grey kit, even more so after it showed up at my front door last week.
  • Portmouth kit is very classy imo...and what kind of shirt do you expect to "strike fear into opponents".
  • I hate the Bolton kit but do enjoy the vintage Reebok logo as opposed to the RBK one they have used recently. Besides that absolutely the worst kit ever.

    I don't mind the Liverpool away kit.. Gray isn't the best choice but sure beats out the Highlighter Yellow Chelsea jerseys from last year..
  • Seeing as the Liverpool third shirt hasnt been unveiled officially yet you may be jumping the gun somewhat. As for the review of grey, its a great kit which most LFC fans are happy with.
  • ...and lets hope Newscastle (no2) do better in 2008 than Northern Rock!
  • As much as I hate to admit it, the Arsenal kits suck this year. And don't forget the Everton away kit.
  • Wow, its bad enough they'll probably go down this year, but to go down in a training bra is 10x worse.
  • Here is a poll on my site asking if fans like the new shirt of not, pretty comprehensive:

    How hard would it have been to the club/Reebok to do a quick survey like that?
  • Call me biased, but I think the Portsmouth jersey is an improvement over the kit worn the past two years, with that beige patch high up the back (was it supposed to be a sailor's kerchief?) And there's nothing wrong with the collar -- maybe Pompey is starting a trend by bringing it back.
  • The liverpool third shirt is real:

    The official Liverpool site has a photo of Gerrard and Torres in the third kit, and it looks better in that picture. Not good, mind you, but better.
  • i think liverpools grey kit is nice as is newcastles away, it is the same as chelsea's man u kit is horrible worse than any kit on there and how is hull's and middlesbourgh's nicer than liverpool's home kit, you don't know what you are doing
  • portsmouth's kit is nicer than man ushiteds
  • IM A MAN CITY FAN AND OUR AWAY KIT ISNT UP TO MUCH, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SEEN THE BOLTON KIT ITS A POOR DESIGN BUT SOMETIMES THEY LOOK DIFFERENT WHEN BEING WORN SO ILL WAIT TO SEE IT BEING WORN BEFORE GIVING MY VERDICT. AS FOR THE GREY LIVERPOOL KIT I HAVE SEEN THAT BEING WORN ITS A DISGRACEFUL KIT IT IS PROBABLY THE MOST UGLY KIT I HAVE SEEN, ONE GUY WROTE MOST LIVERPOOL FANS ARE HAPPY WITH IT THATS BULL PULL THE OTHER ONE I HEARD THE BLIND LIVERPOOL FANS ARE COMPLAINING ITS THAT UGLY. AS FOR THE POMPEY SHIRT I THINK THATS QUITE SMART.
  • What's wrong with the Pompey shirt??? I think it's fine personally ...
