Hummel

[BedfordShrimper]

Both kits are absolutely class. I know I’m going to like the 3rd shirt as well as the training kit.
Don’t forget there will be retro shirts in the club shop next season also.
I’m seriously worried how much I’ll end up spending!
Loving Leo modelling the shirt. He looks in great health.

Ok, I’m going to be critical. I like the shirt, but can’t stand the collar. If it had been a V-neck, it would have been outstanding.

Black shorts and socks have no business being matched with that shirt though. It should have been white shorts, and blue socks.

Overall, I’d say Hummel are two-for-two so far.

Looking forward to the yellow one being released.

I like the mix of blue with black as it harks back to our kits in our early years (albeit we had white shorts back then).

I thought it was a dark blue for the shorts and socjs.

not a fan of tght round necks so hopefully it isnt too tight

Both kits are brilliant

The shirts do look great, I just hope they last and wash OK. an awful lot of printed stuff on them.

Also as a side note, does anyone know what sort of fit Hummel are? I fluctuate between a medium and large depending on brand.

Finally, sorry @GBJ feel like I'm disagreeing with you a lot today, I like the collar

Ok, here's my thoughts for what it's worth (not much BTW)

• The home kit is really nice and I had already decided to buy it
• The away is even nicer and I've now changed my mind
• My eldest son has also changed his mind
• The whole away kit looks stunning
• I'm trying to persuade my eldest to buy the whole kit because I like it so much
• He's not really keen on the whole kit so I'll wait for my youngest to get back from football camp today (in 35 degrees - good luck him!) and try and persuade him
• As with @GBJ, my eldest isn't 100% keen on the collar because he wants the white all the way around, but that is being hyper critical
• It looks like Hummel have made a real effort with the kits which Nike simply never did and I for one really appreciate that
• The 95/96 season was a pretty nondescript mid-table finish in Division 1, which doesn't really inspire, so I'm not really sure why they chose that season to base the kit on

All kits last (including the printed bits) so long as you follow the washing and drying instructions. It's mainly a case of not using a tumble dryer as the heat degrades the transfers. It's not really necessary anyway since they hang dry in no time.

BTW, I'm a medium but I always buy a large so I can get extra layers underneath in the middle of winter...

So did I but I saw a few comments with black so assumed I was incorrect.

I want to hear @Mark Stevart ’s thoughts!

95/96 was actually a really great season until we fell away at the very end. Believe we were in the automatics at one point. Also we haven’t finished that high up the pyramid since.

 

[Austin the Shrimper]

I love the new Kit. Will make my choice soon, will be getting Home and then choose between away kits.

 

[GBJ]

I bloody LOVE that shirt. Kelman’s name going on the back of mine (if he stays).

I’d hold off on that, personally.

?

Don’t worry, the third one will be yellow, which is a completely different colour

95/96 was actually a really great season

Certainly was for me, as it was when I first started going

Maybe, but we've had much better seasons they could have based the kit on. It just seems like an odd one. Don't get me wrong, I really like the kit, I just think they could have chosen a better season.

"We play in blue so we will need another kit to avoid colour clashes with other teams.

I know, let's have one in blue!"

Third kit will be released soon

 

[Mad Cyril]

The away kit is really smart - it has an early 90s look about it,

I'm with you on this one, Mark.

But realistically, I don't buy replica shirts anyway and I have better things to worry or get excited about.

 

[Richard Hearn]

Third kit will be released soon

Will that be in French blue, do you think?

 

[Ricey]

Meh?

The combination of the two shirts is stunning! And no doubt the yellow third kit will be beautiful too.

What colour would you have like to have seen?
