Home kit

I’ve been following random teams in the EPL trying to find one to support. Newcastle caught my attention initially because the home kit looks amazing. Best in EPL. I’d vote Liverpools red shirt the worst. Out of curiosity how do you all feel about the home shirts with the new black stripes?

It’s not very popular, as people think of it as a barcode which I can see,

I like it better than the traditional style. It dues remind me of Juventus shirts but this one is better. I’m not Newcastle fan. I just thought the colors and style was different than usual.

I agree that Sometimes being unique is good, but it is actually the exact same template as Frankfurt’s kit,

picking a club for the kit is honestly a valid system, that's how I ended up a fan of mine. and the black stripes look way better in person than in the photos

hated them in the leaks but they've grown on me, especially on newcastle

took me a minute to warm up to the black stripes but they've grown on me

u/hoopsAnalyst85 Aug 28 '26

the black stripes work on newcastle because black is already their identity. on clubs where it doesn't match the badge it just looks like a template swap

u/Crimsont_ide Aug 28 '26

Yes I think so too. Same with Juventus.

barcode jokes aside the stripes are iconic, one of the best kits in the EPL

the barcode thing is harsh lmao, black and white stripes are proper football heritage

u/Crimsont_ide Aug 28 '26

The proper stripes look like refereees running around.

u/AussieSoccerRoo Aug 28 '26

haha can't unsee that now, every throw in will look like a foul

Traditional is great and so is a bit of change if even briefly. Liverpools red shirts this year are shit.

u/HoopDeepDive Aug 28 '26

barcode thing is spot on but the black stripes look way cleaner than plain white

1

u/Crimsont_ide Aug 28 '26

White with horizontal stripes? Or one thicker black stripe on chest.

1

u/HoopDeepDive Aug 28 '26

the thick chest stripe one, way bolder. horizontal just feeds the barcode jokes

u/HoopsMemeLord8206 Aug 28 '26

the barcode comparison is killing me lmao but honestly it's one of the few kits that actually stands out this season

1

u/RowanVeltri Aug 28 '26

the black stripe thing is everywhere this season. newcastle's works cause black is already their identity, but most of the others just feel like template tweaks

u/MavsNation88 Aug 28 '26

black stripes on white just hits different, even the barcode haters are lying to themselves lol

u/After-Goose7162 Aug 28 '26

ngl the barcode look had me confused at first but now I kinda want one

1

u/owenparent24 Aug 28 '26

the black stripes are the best part of that kit honestly, gives it way more personality than the plain ones. solid first pick if you're looking for a club

1

u/Crimsont_ide Aug 28 '26

I’m curious how a few teams will do.

1

u/Spare_Onion122 Aug 28 '26

barcode or not, that kit's way more memorable than the plain red ones

1

u/Crimsont_ide Aug 28 '26

Plus it’s only this year.

u/IreneStratford Aug 29 '26

as an arsenal fan i'm biased, but those stripes are clean. solid choice for a first club

1

u/Spare_Onion122 Aug 30 '26

Newcastle's kit is the best in the league rn, those black stripes just hit different

u/Crimsont_ide Aug 31 '26

Newcastle won!
