Not sure about the look of our kit from the back: http://www.foxsports.com.au/video/?v=282897
Don't worry, you won't see heskey or bridges running away from too many defenders.
Jeez, I had worries about it and now they've been confirmed.
The shirt doesn't flow with the shorts at all.
I've never understood having the stripes for the bottom part of a kit, then one block colour for the rest of the back. Either continue the stripes the entire back, or have the entire back one colour (ie see our last years kit for stripes everywhere, or Wellingtons last year for entirely one block colour on back). The wide red strip on the shorts is unnecessarily wide. Have also never understood why socks need a big patch of a different colour on the calf - it's like a target or something!
In summary - home kit fail. Let's just enjoy the away days!
OK
You've ruined it for me pv4, thanks pal
I actually really liked it til I read your post
I agree, would look much better if the back was all solid blue. Still an improvement on last years though I think

It's really odd what they've done - the front looks predominately red, whereas the back is mostly blue.
They should have went away from the stripes, and done something different.
OK
I asked a media commentator from another sport once and I assume it carries over to football, media dislike stripes and therefore via their contacts in the sports codes they push for the area where the number is displayed to be a block of colour which contracts the number easily. So they can pick it up as easily as possible in a fast moving environment. In AFL Hawthorn are a good example of this, brown and yellow stripes but a large white box for the black number to be easily seen.
Have to agree on the socks... that is just an odd design with little meaning or visual design quality.
Stripes at base of back of shirt will not be an issue if the playing roster show ******* respect and tuck their shirts in.
Yellow card if not. Best rule ever.
+1 to tucking in your shirt, having draw string from the pants hanging out the front.
Is it my eyesight or is the emerald hard to pick up in the distance, especially if your playing the game.Maybe shirts more white with the E&C stripes (cue rampage )
I hope he likes prison food.......and penis
The Green looks a lot better than I thought it would.
Would like to see our supporters adopt this colour enmasse.
A sea of Green would look awesome.
Our support looks like a ****ing rainbow at present.
We have blue/red gold black/white and now the green.
Looks like some **** through up everywhere
I thought it felt weird and unauthentic watching us in green.
Bring back the gold
