I mean, even the bloody tram lines are meandering all over the shop.
Could this maybe in someway be a homage to the South side City redevelopment transport link?

Don't st pauli play in brown? Not sure why it's passed off as fact that a football kit can't be brown.

It’s not about buying it, it has Monzo on the front which suggests we will wear it for at least 1 game. I’m guessing legends day.

They should have saved the brown kit for our away kit for next year.

The shorts should have yellow at the front, brown at the rear.

What is the point in this kit?

Is it 'commemorating' an anniversary of the original?

Is there a reason for it?

Seems stupid to release a new shirt about 3/4 of the way through a season

Will it be worn in a match, surely we have enough kits already.

We actually beat Leicester when we played in the original brown kit. It was televised so there is film of it out there somewhere. Roger Van Gool had his only good game for us, and a young Gary Linekar was playing for them.

And if you had one of the Originals today it would be worth hundreds of pounds.

I was there too, but prefer to remember its debut at Derby where we won 2-0 with Steve Hunt scoring on his debut (and obviously a goal from Ian Wallace).

Yeah I was at Derby the first time we wore the brown, and I seem to remember Hunt's goal was a screamer? Nobody could believe the kit, which was an outrageous departure from anything seen before.

Steve Hunt, Gerry Daly and Gary Gillespie if I'm not mistaken.

The opposition player with the impressive leap and flyaway hair looks so familiar, but I can't place him. It's Everton I think?

I'm not a fan and after a bit of deliberation I've decided it's because of the sponsor and a bit of the trim being in blue. They should be white. Even then it'd still be horrific, just not quite as horrific as it is.

I heard that it was based on the colour corresponding to Reda Johnson's piss. We will wear it on legends day and he'll come out wearing it hand in hand with Simon Gilbert.
(A few throwbacks there!)

I'm pro-brown in theory. No doubt this one polarizing. Might be just me but the shade of brown is rather dark, I might prefer a brighter shade.

But this clearly just an attempt to normalize 4th kits, leading to a dangerous slippery slope to the 5th kit, 6th kit, 7th kit, etc.

Ah, Gemmill of course. Diminutive but deceptively springy.

Maybe the best way to describe is that I'd prefer a milkier chocolate over a dark chocolate?

Just about to take my dog out for a walk and I think he will produce something out of his rear that’ll look better than that shirt.

Word on the street is that there were no plans for another kit but when this range came out it was just so popular they had to call the hummel designers in for an emergency meeting

It'll sell a load and generate a bunch of revenue for the club which is great

But it's not hit the tone for me, trying too hard to look ugly, the original was just a template in an odd choice of colour. Adding the Skyblue accents and the busy patterns just make it bad not so bad it's good. Also should have used the retro badge.

I'm all for it but won't buy one, I just have my fingers crossed that we don't secure the League wearing it and our trophy lift photos aren't the squad decked out in brown!

Income for club. You don’t have to buy if you don’t like it.
Again 5 years we had a shop (well a room with some stuff in it) which sold screw wash

Why do people get upset by this?!?
