Let's just be thankful we don't have AIG on the kits anymore
Yes, it would have looked better (slightly) but it would have cost a lot more to produce that fabric than to print a pattern onto their normal stuff.Thankfully the kit will just look red from any distance. What they should have done is repeat the process they used on the 2007-8 shirt, where the 'stripes' were made with a sheen. Not sure if that's from the stitch pattern or what, but if they used that technique to make a sheen checker pattern I think it would look much much better.
Surely these Nike bozos run these kits by an audience like movies are with test screenings, to see if everyone hates them before they roll them out in production.
I own that shirt in black and red, and have never once realised that pattern!Thankfully the kit will just look red from any distance.

Would make sense. The profit on shirt sales would be enormous if it cost a quid to make 100 quid to sell. There has to be well over a million shirts sold every season? Or is that being unrealistic..I think most companies are capable of making excellent kits - Nike included. They don't always put the effort in though. Nike's policy for our kits seems to be to make them as cheaply and as quickly as possible. No effort has been put into next season's kit at all.
i'll bet they don't run them past anyone but United officials. what we see is United's decision.Surely these Nike bozos run these kits by an audience like movies are with test screenings, to see if everyone hates them before they roll them out in production.
