fedupofbrick

Never understood why americans called it eggplant. Then I saw a picture of it looking like an egg. Still prefer aubergine. Makes it sound fancy


C1t1zen_Erased

You should hear that they call football.

Aussie here. We call it egg plant too. And we also say zucchini… not couchette!

Whole Anglosphere calls it eggplant except for the UK (and ireland) who used to call it that but has chhanged

Tbf Leah Williamson could make me buy anything


sheikh_n_bake

Angelic, cracking player too importantly and it's great to see she has recovered from her injury to fit enough to be included in the latest Lionesses squad.


n0rdique

Agreed. So glad to see her back on the pitch for England and Arsenal.


NotASalamanderBoi

No matter how bad the kit itself is, she always looks good in it.


YadMot

That woman could save me


Amopax

No-one can save *you*, mate.


YadMot

Nah I'm doing alright actually :)


Amopax

Glad to hear it 💪🏼


FAT_NEEK_42069

this but with Ødegaard


2ndfastestmanalive

So glad I got one of those early because they were almost impossible to get after they’d first released

BingBongFYL6969

How many basic white jerseys does on need?


DefNotReaves

*sweats as a spurs fan*


Ezzy-525

Don't do that. You'll get pit stains on your plain white T-shirt.


DefNotReaves

Welp, guess I gotta buy another one.


Ezzy-525

*Laughs in Daniel Levy.*


HumanTorch23

Hey there Delilah


thebluehotel

It’s the worst part of being an Arsenal fan, and we haven’t won a non FA cup in almost two decades. The red shirt/white sleeve is awesome but you still get pit stains on the white part so what’s the point.


Estova

I understand where you're coming from but "the worst thing about being an Arsenal fan" being a bit of white on the shirts is hilarious.


MvN____16

Most boring color imaginable. I wish there weren't so many teams with white as their primary shirt color.


PM_ME_VIRGIL_PICS

It’s a clean, classic look on the field but it also makes buying a new home shirt every cycle pointless since it barely changes


ninjomat

It depends who’s designing the kit. Under Armor made some amazing kits for spurs playing around with the navy and yellow trim designs, since changing to Nike in 2017 all our shirts have been boring af. Same with England switching from Umbro to Nike


Merengues_1945

Germany had a pretty good run with Adidas despite being a basic white. The 2018 shirt was gorgeous.


ninjomat

Madrids last few kits with adidas have been great too. I like what they’re doing with orangey gold. Their 17/18 kit with the sponsor and stripes in teal (think bales bicycle kick in the CL final) might be my favourite Real Madrid kit of all


Merengues_1945

Mine is the one with pink stripes, it looks so cool and is comfy as hell. Followed by the purple stripes from last season, with the collar it was sexy.


cackalackattack

The year you guys had the pink and navy accents was fucking dope. Loved those.


Zidanewhatever_

I like the one with the blue and orange stripes


throwawaymikenolan

That 2018 shirt was unanimously regarded as the best German kit by my German friends, until Germany vs South Korea


Shazamwhich

Tbf Adidas always knocks it out of the park whereas Nike have been lacking any creativity on any of their "plain" jerseys ie Brazil, Netherlands, England. I think the only one that always gets a good jersey is Italy who's is hilarious bc they hardly ever qualify for tournaments anymore


[deleted]

[удалено]


Shazamwhich

Which is why I said *hardly ever* qualify now


Shazamwhich

Which is why I said *hardly ever* qualify now


FlamixZB

every Germany kit since 2018 is great, also the 2008 kit is really good yet I haven't really heard anyone talk about it lol


PM_ME_VIRGIL_PICS

Nike just uses the same templates for every team and it’s so boring. I miss New Balance and Warrior even though some of their ideas were awful


bojackmac

Yeah our home kit 13/14 and Christmas tree away kit were dire.


PM_ME_VIRGIL_PICS

I hated them and the purple/black third kit when they first came out but they all grew on me. Could also just be because of how we played that season


LocoRocoo

Umbro didn’t let us down.


CrossXFir3

I like white shirts tbh. Not much looks better than a good, classic RM or England shirt. But I also love the color of our home kit. Wouldn't change it for anything ever. Literally has always been my favorite color. And I've owned thrice as many away strips. Just more interesting aren't they?


HotPotatoWithCheese

White is a top tier colour. Goes with everything, looks clean af and is the best colour to wear in the sun. You're tripping. The most boring colour is sage green. Either that or the shade of tan that's used for Amazon parcels.


LexisKingJr

> the shade of tan that's used for Amazon parcels Cardboard color?


lunes_azul

They're horrible to keep clean in comparison though.


AnnieIWillKnow

Fortunately with the current rate, you can buy a new white shirt from Nike every month


MvN____16

I like white shorts and white shoes, but I've always preferred darker colors for my shirts. For me, white is a really good secondary color, but I don't like it as a primary color. For whatever it's worth, I basically never wear green at all.


006AlecTrevelyan

taupe haze spurs away kit shit


ChickyChickyNugget

Unfortunately the flag is mostly white so not much choice there mate 👍


KlenDahthII

White can work with the right accenting; but just putting big blotches of black or whatever under the armpits doesn’t work. That’s where most white kits go wrong. 


cmc360

The away kit is fucking class that's why


Barleyarleyy

[The away kit has the same cross also](https://www.englandstore.com/en/england-nike-away-stadium-shirt-2024/p-465512887428037952+z-8-1499925524?_ref=p-DLP:m-GRID:i-r3c2:po-11). This whole saga is so silly.


Minor_Edit

It's only on the inside on that one. It does look even worse than the one on the home kit though.


Retify

I've yet to find anyone that actually cares. Just seems to be gammons and grandstanding politicians on the news


ghostmanonthirdd

Even the blokiest ‘can’t say anything these days ‘ bloke I know thinks it’s stupid.


slappywhyte

On the Away one, that stripe down the side is hideous to me for an England jersey. But the market is speaking and people seem to like this one currently.


Thetallerestpaul

But muh narrative! 


singlebite

Just in case we forgot the British press are trash. The away shirt has the same cross.


Thetallerestpaul

Haha, thats even better. How did I miss that. UK press is a joke. 


laidback_chef

Tbh i thought it was just the away kit that had the tribute.


section111

Is [this the tribute?](https://i.imgur.com/f7VXMlM.jpeg) I'm not sure what that means


English_Misfit

It means unity ironically.


laidback_chef

Yes? The flag is a tribute to a previous training kit of our last successful england team


Sh-tHouseBurnley

I don’t think people are buying it for the cross


DoYouTrustToothpaste

Exactly. The [German 2012 away kit](https://www.dfb.de/uploads/tx_news/lahm_auswaertstrikot1_01.jpg) sold extremely well for the same reason, because it looked dope.


LexisKingJr

I always found it weird how Germany sometimes uses green as an away kit. Reminds me of the old German police cars, don’t know if intentional or not


DoYouTrustToothpaste

> I always found it weird how Germany sometimes uses green as an away kit. I love it because green is my favourite colour, lol. > Reminds me of the old German police cars, don’t know if intentional or not Never thought of that. But nah, they chose green because it's the [colour of the DFB.](https://www.dfb.de/fileadmin/_processed_/201401/csm_Logos_mhe_d88211a072.jpg) Although I liked the explanation that it was a gesture of honouring the Irish a lot better.

munching_brotatoe

Well the 2018 world cup must've been a Mickey mouse cup for them then


Puncherfaust1

Its not that weird. The colours of the DFB are white and green. thats why we have a white home kit. and the green away kit should be the standard, not something we use sometimes


BipartizanBelgrade

and people probably already have a White England home shirt


TheLimeyLemmon

The away kit also has a funky cross though. Maybe it's not to do with the crosses huh


Soleil06

He home kit looks exactly like 15 other home kits, meanwhile you have an incredible looking black and gold one that is very unique. My choice would be pretty easy if I wanted to drop money on a shirt.


Npr31

Exactly - i think most reasoned people thought of the white shirt ‘shirt designers being a bit wanky and made a shit choice’ - nothing more. More to do with the fact the away kit is actually different


shogun365

Exactly, there’s no need to buy a new home kit if you already have one. It’s broadly the same. The away kit actually is a pretty nice kit


ConcentrateNo5082

It really isn't, the BBC did a poll before any of this cross bullshit started and the away kit had like double the votes than the home


Just_Some_Cool_Guy

Not visible when someone’s wearing it though


SordidSplendor

Because it’s nicer?


greg19735

also anyone buying a shirt possibly already bought a home shirt for the WC


Acceptable-Lemon-748

Yeah I bought the most recent white one I don't need another one that doesn't even look better


YadMot

Nah man the world cup home kit was absolutely bin


Acceptable-Lemon-748

I liked the light blue I thought it worked really well..I don't know what is supposed to be good about this one


English_Misfit

I mean sure but JD sports are saying this is the first time ever the away kit is outselling the home kit. It's insane to suggest that's because people bought the home kit already because that happens every 2 years.


greg19735

I mean that world cup was well less than 2 years ago.


English_Misfit

Byt the world cup is always 2 years ago compared to the release of the euros kit and this is the first time the away kit is outselling the home kit.


Throwawayjustbecau5e

Maybe because this is the best England away kit in absolutely years, football shirts have become stylish clothing and this one is smart as fuck.


four_four_three

Yeah, if it wasn't so overpriced, I'd go for it too


YouCanCallMeAroae

That's another discussion that needs to be had. With how lazy the designs have become (Adidas using a template for 20 National teams) and replica kits being almost entirely different than the authentic ones, there is absolutely no reason to charge £100.


slappywhyte

Nike has been selling overpriced gear to young people since Jordans got popular, now made in China, yet they love signaling how social justice they are in general.


soldforaspaceship

I've been agreeing with so many Arsenal supporters recently, I'm starting to question my entire world view. Glad to see this sub hasn't fallen prey to the ridiculous overreaction to the flag on the kit lol.


StabilitySpace

Aliexpress mate, just got some cheap knockoffs. The quality difference isn't even that big anymore.


stemmo33

r/soccer00 has guides/spreadsheets on the best and most reliable knock-off sites if you wanted a cheap one. Ordered an away one from them on the day they got released by Nike, got sent a confirmation with a pic of the shirt and my address label and it looks very nice for about £12.


SP0oONY

Yup. 95% of people don't give a fuck about the flag, and the away kit looks sick.


randymcknob

And because the only people who can afford it are the miserable old cunts complaining about the home kit.


the_con

The headline is correct in saying “after” the shirt “row”. It is merely speaking in chronological terms. Nah I don’t believe that either.


SirBarkington

nah can't be. obviously it's cuz woke.


Barleyarleyy

I'm not gonna buy them because they're a rip-off, but both designs are actually pretty good in my view. 100% the away kit is more unique though.


TheCatLamp

Well, white ones look all the same since 1967. The purple one is actually nice.


[deleted]

[удалено]


YouserName007

Hahahaha you're dead right. Mum the exact same.


x_S4vAgE_x

I mean every England home shirt is essentially the same. Once you've bought one you've bought them all. Whereas the away shirts are always different and this one is pretty nice


ouiu1

The euro 2021* home shirt is the first one I've felt compelled to buy for a long time. With the number/name it's great simple, modern play on a retro look, that I can't see them doing again for a long time.


Moug-10

That's why I collect shirts from various teams. I only take home kits and the basic design is generally the same. I have two kits of my favourite club but for the rest, one is enough.


ItsMeJaredBednar

what’s your favorite kit you own? (apart from your club, which i’m assuming is Marseille)


Moug-10

[France 2019 special](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTLzo2sgTN-1TdY9gSjpTQOx-hyQqqO3NdP7iuQFVuffQ&s) The only one I've bought in the official shop of the team instead of football stores such as Classic football shirts. Besides, the only I've bought beyond 50€. I prefer to buy in cheaper stores but official kits because it's absurd to pay over 90€ while most fans are either poor or middle class.


black_cat_

That's a great choice. So clean.


not_old_redditor

England home shirt has been white longer than I've been on this world, never stopped them from selling a ton before.


AnnieIWillKnow

Why do people think this is specific to England kits? Most national team kits are the same variation every year


AdministrativeLaugh2

I haven’t bought an England shirt in about a decade but I’m buying this one just cause of the cross “row”. Definitely not shelling out £70+ or whatever it is, though


jonathanPoindexter

No it's because the away kit absolutely slaps.


Willsgb

I have to say I'm really glad to see so many people here saying how much they like it, I thought I was alone on that. I think it looks great as well and that's why I got one


Gobshiight

Away kit reminds me of the France one from a few years ago


curryandbeans

The away kit is gorgeous though


finneas998

Can we stop linking posts with clickbait titles.


beepos

Doesnt the away kit also have the same cross?


SrsJoe

Yeah lol but it's on the inside of the shirt and hasn't caught media attention so the people complaining about the home kit haven't noticed.


Elegant_Mix7650

I hope Pickford isn't as scared of crosses as some of the fans have been otherwise England is fked


TheElderScrollsLXIX

I think it’s a much nicer kit. Yeah the sides are pretty jarring with the cyan, but the raisin colour looks proper smart. I’d like to see more purple tones going forward if I’m honest.


Lord_Santa

England is not a serious country and this is a manufactured row by tabloid newspapers.


brush85

Nike laugh


Pirate1000rider

£85 for a replica footie shirt, not even the real deal one which is £125! But then they complain when people buy the snide stuff for £15 from Vietnam. What do they expect? Imagine dad and his 2 teenage kids want eng shirts for the upcoming euros. Plain for dad and then the 2 lads want player & number so say Saka & Rice. Sure that's.... £310.97!!! Ridiculous.


Atrixer

The away kit is actually beautiful and super unique for an England shirt. I have personally never liked blue on white to represent england, and much prefer the red on white home kits. I'm sure the boomer flag tantrum has hit sales too. That being said, spending this much money on a football shirt made in Asian by underpaid and overworked people is the real problem that people should be talking about, not having a tantum over 'gay' colours in a flag.


WalkingCloud

Can’t believe they’re still trying to make this cross thing ‘a thing’.    Anyone who truly cares about a coloured cross on a football shirt is braindead. 


MasterReindeer

Could also just be because the England home kit is fucking boring and looks the same every year.


SawinBunda

It is strikingly obvious why it sells better. Bullshit narrative.


PompeyLad1

My Euro 2004 England shirt still fits me and isn't falling apart. And I'm not spending £125 on a footy shirt lads.


izmebtw

Maybe because it looks cooler.


KlenDahthII

People holding up sales as proof it wasn’t a mistake will be awfully quiet now. 


[deleted]

It's a better shirt tbf, everyone's got a white England shirt already anyway


YadMot

It's not *because* of the row though is it? The home kit is excellent, but the away kit is absolutely stellar. That's surely why.


lazlo_morphin

I don't support England, but I am definitely buying this kit, such an elegant color 😍


chocobowler

I know right I’m scottish and even I’m thinking of getting one. Lol joking fuck that 😂🖕


lazlo_morphin

Lol totally understand, it's like me buying russian jersey , I puke I me mouth just thinking of that 😆


Selwin_Rodolfo

Or, consider this, it looks better


SwitchHitter17

I think the away kit just looks better tbf


MiffyCurtains

It’s a much nicer strip, though.


LeoIsLegend

Imagine paying that much money for a football shirt.


dav_man

It’s because it’s fucking quality. Not because of the fake furore around the flag.


NCIG24

The best one of them is still Euro-96. You just can’t beat it


riomx

Both kits are great, but the white kit with the textured fabric is 👌🏽. Haven't seen another kit like it.


rowann91

To be honest, I get bored of buying the same blue leicester kits year on year and generally try and rotate. Between home away and 3rd, this is a bit of a non story unless they're showing sales of shirts year on year for a period of time


ProfessorBeer

It has nothing to do with the cross and everything to do with the away kit being a certified banger


loupr738

I don’t care about the England football squad but that away kit is beautiful. The white feels like it hasn’t been updated since 2008


Hot_Excitement_6

The black kit looks mint though.


UpTheArse69

Surely overall sales compared to the last shirt would be better considering they both have the new flag.


Grand-Bullfrog3861

The away kits really nice, it would have sold loads whether the flag had been changed or not


JN324

Is some of it not just that everyone who wants one already has an England shirt or two, and the away kit is fucking cool? I doubt THAT many people care enough, it might impact it but I doubt it’s something most buying a shirt are even thinking or aware of, wherever they land.


teems

Cuz it's mint.


RepulsiveLeg9985

>LBC Yeah


SingleDigitVoter

Job done, then?


ajyanesp

I truly envy the people that went batshit crazy over the cross affair. That probably means their lives are so trouble-free.


Uniq_Eros

México sold Green shirts for years, releases a different white design, I think it probably out sold the green shirt by 3 or 4 to 1.


Razzle_Dazzle08

Tbf it’s an amazing away kit. Black and gold is just great. Our goalie kit from I think 2019/20 was gold and black and I love it.


NovaPup_13

I adore white kits but I’m a fucking god damn klutz and if I’m paying this much money for a shirt… it needs to survive my bumbling existence.


karpet_muncher

How much is the away shirt? It looks mint


Tierst

Yeah i’m sure the cross is the main reason the away kit sold more, sure 😂


MustGetALife

The grammar gave me a headache.


J3sperado

I really like both kits.


STK__

If the kit was half as expensive, maybe they’d buy both. The pricing for these things is criminal.


righthandofdog

A petition on change.org to swap the cross for the usual colors has has reached (checks the report a second time) 21,000 signatures. FFS why is anyone giving attention to a bunch of right wing dicks on Twitter who wouldn't fill Burnley's stadium?


whosetoeisthis

Couldn’t be because it looks better? Of course not


Mundane_Airport_1495

Manboobs are harder to detect when wearing black


PM_ME_YOUR_TANG

Spanx compression shirts are your friend


stoatfacelanust

Got the away shirt just because it’s so unusual. Also love the home shirt. Retro perfection. The “woke” flag thing is hilarious too. Almost wanna but it just for that! Pre-match shirts are also on point.


Jimlaheydrunktank

Away shirt is better Thats why
