It’s like, a fig leaf of responsibility from an entire industry which revolves around preying on vulnerable, impressionable young people (mostly men) and nudging them into an unhealthy addiction to profit from them. Pretty sickening, frankly.

Middlesbrough have unveiled their new kit, a throwback to their Errea kit in 1996. I like the collar here, seems to be a more constructed variant of the same collar shape as on some other kits, but without it looking like an afterthought. Would be very happy with something like this (well...

On £100k a week? With an £18m salary cap that’s nearly 1/3rd their budget on one player. To say nothing to being able to afford it, and whether he wants to stay.

That’d be 12th of August then? Only a couple of weeks to go!

£10 says it’s an online betting company.

I tried, but I need a high-resolution scan of the pattern to make it work. A year or so back I had a go at reproducing the pattern from scratch but it’s incredibly fiddly. I actually ended up buying a second-hand Norwich kit on eBay (from the same season) with the intention of getting it scanned...

Yeah it’s a bit busy. We got around it back then by having the sponsor blocked out (and the Le Coq Sportif badge was black on a white border, to make it stand out too).

In case this is of interest to anyone, in the process of making these I had to clean up the club badge that’s available as SVG on wikipedia, so if anybody wants a monochrome version for their own messing around just give me a shout.

A throwback to that purple and yellow Pony shirt from the late 90s:

I’ve said before I’d love to see a pink kit:

A green and black away kit:

Here we go, 96-98 marmite edition:

I’d love to, but sadly the template I’m using doesn’t have a decent collar equivalent to that era :( I may email the guy who builds them and suggest some collars be added to the standard set. I can certainly try a variant which is navy for the stripes though.

As I recall the rules on keeping each kit for 2 seasons were dropped at the end of the 90s, after that teams would produce at least two new kits every season. Personally I don’t see a problem with it; for those who really want to (and can afford it), you can buy all the kits, or you can just buy...

I obviously can’t resist tweaking, so here’s a different collar design too.

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, so I had a go at creating a speculative design, largely based around the stripes with chevron lines on the new Cambridge home shirt. And since we’re probably going to have a betting sponsor, why not go with Granada Bingo in the interim?

Could we all chip in on a bid to push the price up a bit?

That is very nice.

Couple more new kits unveiled from Hummel, with two unique collar designs I’ve not seen elsewhere before. I particularly like the home one here.
