The size bandings are not a Hummel issue. 38/40 (M) and 42/44 (L) is standard for almost every kit we've had in my lifetime (since mid-80s) apart from the classic 'jumbo' era Ribero!
The issue I do have with Hummel is the inconsistency of the sizings. The medium this year is way bigger than the medium from 22/23.
Wonder if there's anything in the stadium agreement about sponsors / advertisers. Can't imagine Frasers would be too impressed if we had Klarna as a shirt sponsor seeing as they've got Fraser Plus branding everywhere
I hate stripes. Always have. Always will.
What I hate about Hummel is the cheap plastic stick on bits. In this day and age just screen print the whole fabric.
Agree with this. I ordered a training top and the badge fell off after the first wash; it’s easiest the worst quality manufacturer we’ve had.
I usually like our striped kits (particularly the combination with navy shorts), but think there's just too much going on with this years home kit. And the v-neck looks off
The thing I dislike most about our kits this season is the mixed of stripe/checked front and plain back. I thought it was maybe some rule about name and numbers being visible but other teams have stripes all over so ours just looks a bit half arsed. Third kit the exception
Yep and CBS themselves.
to be fair as someone pointed out earlier, wiki has him as former chairman of Monzo but he’s still on there on companies house. And the box has it all over at arena so will be his.
Yeah but that Denmark kit is an all-timer so it's one of the few templates where I'm happy for us to join the ranks.
It's a shame we couldn't get a better manufacturer. Does anyone know when Hummel's contract is up ? I would of liked Adidas, I really liked their kits from this season
I can't even put into words how much I despise the XL motors logo on the sleeve, it looks so bad
Quite a bit of negativity on here about Hummel. Has everybody forgotten the Nike template years (2015-2019) and even worse the 9 years of shit we got served up by Puma before that?
This years aside, Hummels kits are good apart from the stick on badges. I don't get the abuse.
Agreed design wise but I do think the effort that Hummel put in on that side is let down by their crap production quality
I've personally not had an issue with the kits but the training wear is so bad. I've given up getting things like T-shirts and polos because the badges peel off instantly, even on cool washes. Its obvious there is a problem when the kit man is struggling to keep things looking good:
Yeah can't really fault the Hummel designs at all, although there are a few I personally wasn't a fan of.
It's the quality that would be my main complaint really
Ha I actually think that’s Callum’s fault - too much tumble drying at home. That’s the gear they turn up in on matchdays.
But yeah not great - part of the KoS logo on my daughter’s top has peeled away and it’s cos of us putting it in the dryer I think.
To be fair you should never be putting footy shirts in the dryer. Recipe for disaster.
The designs are decent but the quality is shit. Incredibly flimsy, the badges and logos are awful.
I bought an Ajax kit last summer, that was proper quality. Embroidered badge and adidas logo, plus stitched detailing and the material feels far sturdier.
If they didn’t insist on it being red I wouldn’t be too bothered by it. KoS to replace them on the sleeve maybe?
I never put my stuff in a dryer and always wash on cool still had 2 t-shirts peel away. The Kits have been fine so far but those badges applied to cotton have no chance
Yeah, a few seem to have had issues. I must have been very lucky. I've got every Hummel shirt since they've come back plus a few other tops incl the one in that picture and not had any issues whatsoever.
I've worn each of this year's shirts at least weekly as I run in them and they still look good as new.
It's fabric conditioner that kills them. My kids kits from 3 years ago were all pristine untill I moved in with my missus. The second she put them through a was with fabric conditioner in they went to shit.
