is it similar in colour to an away strip back around 1984 ish?
 
Also worth pointing out that he said absolutely nothing of substance about the shirt, same as every year. iirc it was meaningless platitudes like "blast from the past" and "no one has predicted it... yet", which of course could be applied to absolutely any design.

Give over man. If you look back through the thread I was able to pinpoint the exact old kit design it is based on from the "meaningless platitudes" he gave and when I did he stopped posting. From every single away shirt we have ever had I was able to narrow it down to one which looks uncannily similar.

I don't know why you're on some sort of crusade to prove he's is not in the know, but at least in this instance it looks pretty desperate. He got it right, albeit he was vague and offered clues rather than just outright told us what looked like.
 
Mags are already making hay over it being black and white. I won't be buying the fucker if it isn't navy.... :evil:

His predictions are only "absolutely spot on" if you retrospectively conjure them up in your fevered imagination after the fact. I can say "I've seen the home shirt, and it's going to divide opinion. Especially the neck" - meaningless, unless viewed with the credulity of a child in a Santa's grotto.

It's all pretty interesting from a cod-psychology point of view.
he said it was blue, and gave tons of details, was spot on. Defo ITK, even in a minor way
 
I really like it, would even consider buying it. Generally don't like our royal blue tops, always look like Rangers, so the colour and design gets a thumbs up from me.
 
Why is everyone so concerned with it having black and white on it? The obsession with the thought of the mags laughing at us is absurd. We have battered them the last three times we have played, if they want to gloat about petty little things just remember its because they've got nothing else.
 
Who the hell gives these kits the go ahead? They always have bits added like the orange last season. This would be all right without the lance corporals stripes.

Far better designs from the SMB folk, the black and red from here last season was a classic.
 
So whos buying it
I always buy the away tops - even the naff ones. Not only that but it will be worn at most aways again next season. Even our lass is thinking of buying it and she's strictly a home shirt wearer. It's not perfect my any means but I would wager the perfect kit to keep everyone happy isn't achievable....

Also, where is the black coming from? - according to SAFC.COM the colours are gray and white.

"Gus Poyet’s side will play in a new ‘sharp blue’ kit away next season, manufactured by adidas and sponsored by principal club partners, Bidvest. Dark grey pinstripes lend a retro feel, while grey and white trims complement the iconic white adidas stripes. The shorts and socks are also ‘sharp blue’, set off by a white trim and adidas detailing."

Anyway just like away days, count me in:cool:
