Could have given them clean boots
New Hummel Northampton kits out now, not mind-blowing but quite like the away design

Football fans are going to have become a lot slimmer to fit in those topsNew Hummel Northampton kits out now, not mind-blowing but quite like the away design
Some of these definitely work better than others, btw… I think maybe my favourite is the mid-sky blue with lighter sky blue stripes, navy cuffs and collar. I’m sure I’m way off the mark compared to the real deal by now though.
Was just going to say they’re all decent. Think I prefer the white collar / cuffs but not too fussed either way.I'll take them all, cheers!
Will go great with my Geordie jeans - ooosh
Still no new kit announcement? I’m really starting to get impatient! I guess that means I can throw out a few random combinations of shades for some more concepts?

I wonder how much business Hummell got after our kits did so well?
Interesting that as of this season, Nike have officially said they are no longer doing template kits – finally the penny has dropped, after all the bad press, and maybe the fact that Hummel are doing a massive disruptive grab on lower league teams, that's gotta have hurt.Probably influenced a lot of lower league clubs. The trend seems to be that the bespoke designs are attracting clubs to sign with them. Looking at our Nike kits, and the lack of effort put into Pompey, PNE’s and Peterborough’s kits would put me off using them. Very lazy, basic templates.

“We’re ditching the templates,” Heidi Burgett tweeted (Nike’s senior director of global communications). “For the 2020 kits, Nike designers had 65 chassis options available to them across varying necklines, sleeves, cuffs, badge placement, etc.
“From hand-drawn prints to custom fonts, each team’s look will be its own.”
Sounds like we're entering a golden era of kit designs, lots of bespoke stuff going on from sport brands.

Personally I think Portsmouth’s kit this season is a cracker, it’s very reminiscent of their early 90s Asics kit:
They've moved away from templates to "Chassis options" surely that's just another fancy phrase for a template
I would argue ours are fully bespokeLet’s be real here: no team outside the top-tier sides in the Champions League are going to get fully-bespoke kits, and even then there’s brand value for those manufacturers in them having some sort of thematic consistency. There is always going to be some template basis to them, but what matters most is how the elements combine to create something distinct. I think Nike recognises they went too far towards a system where there weren’t enough variables to create something distinct, so you ended up with kits where they were essentially identical to off-the-shelf team wear, with the addition of a badge and sponsor. If you look at a lot of Hummel’s kits this year the same is true: there’s only a limited number of patterns, and the uniqueness generally stems from the colour scheme, club badge and sponsor.
Still, there is value in having a big brand make the kit even if it is mostly template-driven, since they have access to the best manufacturing chain and the quality of the final garments is usually exceptionally high.

The pattern isn’t, though; it was shared by several teams last season. What made it properly unique was the printed design, but that’s the easiest part to change.
What other teams used the same pattern?The pattern isn’t, though; it was shared by several teams last season. What made it properly unique was the printed design, but that’s the easiest part to change.
