it’s actually pretty close to their home kit
It’s a goalkeeper kit.
The third kit symbolises the pathways from the academy to the first team (and presumably to other clubs when they bring in one of avid’s clients to replace you)

They can wear their black and red third strip when they have a clash with their red and black home strip. Genius.

their kits this season are really good. UA sucks
Reebok jerseys and merch range is shit, I can’t wait to change.
(Switch to Adidas)
Adidas jerseys and merch are amazing. I’m so glad we changed.
(A few years go by, merch and jerseys remain about the same)

Is it just “grass is always greener on the other side”?

Reebok jerseys were FANTASTIC.
I didn’t leave that one out by accident 
I thought Puma were pretty good for us

Do you mean: the grass is always bluer on the other side?
Out of the 4 kit manufacturers we’ve had.
- Puma
- Under Armour
- Reebok
- Adidas.
Controversial, I know, but I hated our Adidas kit with the collar.
Reebok’s best kit (2009-11) was better than Adidas’s worst (2013-14, probably our worst ever), but I think the other two Adidas kits (2012-13, 2014-15) were better the second-best Reebok kit (2007-09) - and also IMO better than the last UA kit (I hate the horizontal line).
Adidas were pretty ordinary for us - but the league kit-wise is streets ahead now than it was when we had them. Think they’d do a great job if they rejoined us.
It’s them or Umbro if we punt UA for mine.
I think the range of non-playing shirt merch this year is just about the best we’ve ever had. Though there’s still no beanie without a fuckin’ pom-pom on top…
If they had one I would buy one in a heartbeat. I’m so annoyed I lost the reversible beanie they had years ago.
I suspect I had the same one, and also lost it. By far the worst thing that has ever happened to anyone.

Cut it off?
Why the pom pom hate? Love a good chunky knit beanie with a pom pom.

Agreed, my barber (i know right) has merch and the beanie he got is awesome with it’s big pompom.

I’m a fan of the pom pom on top as I sometimes wear it while skiing as it’s warm and makes it easy for mates to spot me on the mountain.
