Ben Reilly Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 People voting for generic, off the peg Nike crap are just proving why you shouldn't give everyone a vote. You really should pass some kind of intelligence test first before you are allowed to vote. -8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it’s a cup winning kit, not how it looks. To be honest I had to think about what one to vote for but went for the Nike one because there is more to look at, the hooped top wouldn’t have been a bespoke design back in the day either -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly. We did get highest league finish in the last 50 years in that kit. Although if the SC team had played in Plus Fours and big Wooly 1920s socks, it would have been undeniably less generic by 2020 standards! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A kit from Nike's catalogue is not a great Killie kit, it's a one size fits all market stall kit. But, each to their own. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far I’m concerned how a team performed in a kit doesn’t change how it great it looks. I’m able to form an opinion on my own and don’t just decide a kit looks better because of what the history books say. As you say each to their own 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skygod Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) It's difficult to compare two garments worn 100 years apart. Those who favour the older one might value the traditions and history of the club more highly and feel that the hoops should be represented, although the strip is undeniably plain and old fashioned. Those who prefer the newer kit might like that it has "more to look at" - badges, patches, logos, numeral etc - or just prefer more modern design. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. It just seems unfortunate, if inconsequential, that there might not be much variety going forward. Edited April 18, 2020 by skygod 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer most of the older kits, I just find it unfair for someone to question others’ intelligence simply because the vote isn’t going the way they’d like 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says the guy so upset by it he’s on here complaining and ranting twice (hours apart) on the vote on twitter hahaha I’m not that keen on any of them tbh and it’s only a meaningless vote but as I said above I’m not keen on people throwing their toys out the pram because the vote isn’t going their way 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casual observer Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Looks like it’s going to be a selection of relatively generic striped shirts versus our version of marmite - the 90’s light blue & claret mish mash away strip. If that comes out as our greatest ever kit it should generate some fairly opposite opinions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final will be that vs 97 Cup winning kit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really should pass some kind of intelligence test first before you are allowed to vote. Kit designs are almost always “off the peg”. Every manufacturer follows a basic design which is tweaked for clubs. here’s an example from 1997, the kits are the same as ours, with the same generic collar and chequered arm pattern... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
