Re: 2012-13 Kit Rumour Thread

[Madvillain]

That homekit was bad enough, but the away one is on a whole new level of crap.

[The Sanchez]

Looks like these will be our kits next season What crap, could have saved it with red sleeves on the home kit, but honestly both are just absolutely awful imo.

This looked like they are photoshop These can't be it...

[Zealous]

Kits always start looking better as the season goes on.

Decent kits imo, not mind blowing but I think they will grow on you guys.

[The Franchise]

Not buying.

I was and still am, in love with the black one. Great kit in terms of look.

I like the home one too, it grew on me.

I dislike both of these and not sure that will change. Lets see.

[Zealous]

Well count your blessings, our away kit for next season will feature neon effing green.

[CBarca]

Terrible kit. Won't buy. Still waiting on a good home kit. Should have gotten it in 10-11, really regretting that. I do have that black kit and I must agree with The Franchise- I love it. Home one this year is still meh for me.

That's got to be one of the worst kits of the year and the worst Barca kits I've ever seen.

That away kit is easily one of the worst I've seen. Terrible. Just awful.

[BarcaKizz]

Simply heinous... This years ones are great and always thought they were. I love my black kit.

These ones are an abomination and it will effect our income lol

[windkick]

I decided to boycut buying our kits while they have the Qatar Foundation in front. I will hold off till that's off and it's only Unicef.

That said, next years kids are amongst our ugliest and I wouldn't of bought em anyway. This years black away kit would of looked sweet with Unicef on it

[danyjr]

They will never go back to Unicef alone. Once you're tainted you're tainted forever. The difficult bit was getting the fans to accept it but the revenue from shirt sponsors is massive and very unlikely to be stopped, especially now that the fans have more or less accepted it.

[FCBarça]

Until there's a new Prez, that is

I've felt similar about the Qatar logo and refusing to buy a kit with it...I was thinking, with all these Southeast Asian vendors on ebay etc., why wouldn't they just try and put together a kit without the Qatar?...I'm sure they'd sell boatloads

Trying to find an old centenary kit to get #4 Guardiola on it, no luck so far...Found one on ebay but expensive

Last year they had loads of these at the Barca Store. I bought one myself with Rivaldo 11 on the back. I'm not sure if they still have them, or if they sell them online but yeah... Otherwise there's a shop called retro jerseys or something which is quite good.

The botiga by Camp Nou?...And you chose the player & number or had it already there with Rivaldo?...That would be fantastic if you could buy an old kit like that

[danyjr]

You can remove some kit printings by ironing on top of them. It makes the printings come loose but it leaves a trail around the edges of the prints which you can't get rid of but for constant washing it for years.

Yeah, Barça Botiga did a reissue of the centenary shirt (all gone now, try Segundamano). I personally really like that shirt especially the crest which is placed in the middle. I remember having my uncle buying it for me back in 99 unfortunately it is a tad small for me now considering I was 11 when I got it

[FCBarça]

Thanks for the tip, I will scour this summer when I visit

The horror is a reality

[free_cat]

Well....
I think I like the first better than last season, but is one of the worst.
The second kit is quite nice.

[eelir]

I think they will look better on players and if they are not that tight. The colors are not bad and the gradient is not a real gradient (pointilist style gradient??), so they might appear better up close.

The away kit looks bad though, would never buy such thing ever.

[FCBarça]

I could warm to the home kit, there is a close up kit with the Iniesta kit that looks decent - interesting numbers...Although darker blue than we're accustomed to perhaps...I think the shorts should've had a bit more red in it otherwise the entire kit looks awfully navy blue

But the away kit, what were they thinking?...Isn't the objective to actually sell these shirts?....No one is going to buy that, even a knockoff

[windkick]

I can warm up to the home kit for sure.

That away kit is a disaster though

[the xcx]

Its incredibly hard to play against barcelona now if the sun shines, the away kit gives an clever camouflage which makes it harder to see the opposition.

[BarrileteCosmico]

I remember how last season Madrid fans were bitching about Adidas... lol. Adidas and Puma would be much better kit designers for us, never been a fan of Nike.

Yea but Nike makes the best footy boots and balls imho.

[BarcaKizz]

Hmmm... they actually look quite alright in the flesh... I don't mind either and considering they normally grow on me I'll probably quite like them. Wouldn't buy them yet (last season I ordered first day ), but I might be tempted later.

They just look less shoddy than the prototypes.

[The Franchise]

Nike make the best boots lol no

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Puma? they are our designers and i think they are doing a good job but the templates for a Newcastle kit and Barca kit would obviously be quite different..

For example this is our away kit....

Spoiler:

If you were to use that template how would a Barca kit look?

In any case as iam sure you are aware for Barca its not about getting the best shirt designers its about what company will give you the most money lol.

[windkick]

The lining on the sleeves should be thinner. It's a big massive RED going across. besides that it's not bad at all.

The away one is still yuck to me. Will have to see it on the players and in action

[Mr Nick09]

you guys should fire whoever is in charge of marketing in your team because there is no way Nike could impose a jersey on Barcelona. I seriously doubt it, you guys probably approved the design, that's your fault, not Nike

The 1st is nice, the second is the ugliest color i have ever seen on a shirt.
