Yes. Forever be my favourite kit.
When Adidas could actually design kits...
If you’re looking for United on the app they have a section with a lot of the classics. I got the black kung fu kit and the 99 champions league final shirt off there. Happy with the quality of both. They’re recreations rather than truly retro (produced at that time) but they look great in my opinion.Anyone know where I can get some good quality retros?
Yes let me knowAnyone know where I can get some good quality retros?
That's pretty much perfect, for me.
Excellent. And I love the 94 Italy top. I wanted one back then but I couldn't get hold of it.
It's a shame adidas can't do the three stripes all the way down the sleeve. Apparently the fans' WC kits will have them.That's pretty much perfect, for me.
I've always liked the white/black combo (with red stripes or whatever is appropriate for the particular kit thrown in too, depending on the maker) for the 2nd kit. And blue for the third is also pretty much ideal (but given it's a third kit, considerable freedom can be given to the designers here).
Yeah, I vaguely remember reading something about...that. Why can't they do it?It's a shame adidas can't do the three stripes all the way down the sleeve. Apparently the fans' WC kits will have them.
Would likely impact the placement of various badges and sponsor logos.Yeah, I vaguely remember reading something about...that. Why can't they do it?
Three stripes all the way down - that's the iconic thing. That's what people (at least if you count me as "people") want. They've fecked about with all sorts of crap over the years, but three stripes all the way down simply looks very cool. Everybody knows it.
Similarly, I don't buy a pair of Adidas shoes of any kind if they don't have /// on the side. Of course not - what the feck am I paying for? I pay for those three feckin' stripes done right.
UEFA rules. Apparently a 12x8cm space has to be left empty on the sleeves. Spoiling adidas kits!Yeah, I vaguely remember reading something about...that. Why can't they do it?

They could bring back the three stripes down one side of their shirts though (Spain/Argentina 94) or from the sides (Romania/Bulgaria/Sweden 94)?UEFA rules. Apparently a 12x8cm space has to be left empty on the sleeves. Spoiling adidas kits!
Ah, yes - it had to be something like that, of course.UEFA rules. Apparently a 12x8cm space has to be left empty on the sleeves. Spoiling adidas kits!
Ah, yes - it had to be something like that, of course.
But it really does spoil them. There's a reason someone came up with that thing in the first place - it's a very basic design that's never not satisfying to look at.
Looking at lines that don't go all the way down can be cool and satisfying, sure. Can. But also can not. Three parallel lines going all the way down, though - who doesn't like that?
Also - this:
Yeah, brilliant. A generic looking sneaker, trainer, shoeish sort of thing.
Feck that. Three stripes. Parallel. Going all the way down. To wherever it's natural to stop.
Yep, same. I finally realized some years ago that it wasn't a good idea to wear the same pair of shoes every day and replace them when they got so smelly and awful they just had to go, so I now rotate a bit. But I always have a pair of Gazelles in the rotation. And I always want to put on the Gazelles, but I know I have to restrain myself.Love adidas Gazelles
