I noticed the Arsenal fans posted their new kits in their thread but thought this would be a good way to keep track of all new kits and colors.

Here's United home kit:

Arsneal FC 2011 home kit:

I hope United dumps that black chevron third kit, i hate it

AC Milan:



Ireland home:



Northern Ireland away kit:



Looks class to me.

Lyon:



Liverpool away:



Bayern Munich:



Chelsea FC;

Looks like Umbro is sticking to the same theme for National Teams. Here is Canada's kit.

*Bleh* Chelsea kit looks like crap.

Bayern's one looks pretty decent though.

Liverpool away looks awesome, too bad some scumbag is going to wear it.

Eh, Milan's jersey looks awful, just like Chelsea's.

I like the looks of ManU's socks for some odd reason.

What in the world is going on at Nike?





I hope these "leaked" photos aren't actually real.

Juventus one is the worst one I've ever seen

I hope for their case its for breast cancer awareness.

Man, nike kits are usually dope, that Juve one better be a joke or something

Juventus' original colors were pink (with a black tie) so that's understandable.

What is not understandable is the hideous giant star. Reminds me of the time MLB and some of its teams tried (and horribly failed) to project what the jerseys might look like in the future in their Turn Ahead the Clock games.

Examples like:

If it wasn't for the pink color I'd like Juve's new jersey

Eindhoven's jersey, however, is so damn awful.

Nike have absolute terrible kits. I can;t wait for NIKE's contract with United to get over and hopefully Umbro picks it up. They make the best kits followed by Puma and adidas.

I would be shocked if Juve's backups looked like that next year lol. Nike is on crack

I do like all of the adidas ones though, aside from Milan's which may grow on me?

New Barca kit for next season



Slightly better than those atrocities that I posted on the last page, but still looks ugly. The windmill-panel like stripes create a diagonal effect on the kit and add the fact that the Qatar Foundation's logo just doesn't fit in at all makes it look very cluttered and pretty ugly.

Puma makes pretty ugly kits, IMO. The top contracts that they hold are usually so ugly. The lesser teams that they have on sponsorship are much better looking for some reason, IMO.

Nike is usually the best at these. They're able to mostly keep to traditional looks while adding a little bit of their modern take/flair to it. They might not have done it well for Man U, but for other clubs, they've done it fairly well. I don't know why this year they decided to throw it all out the window and look to the kitschy 80s/90s look as inspiration.

Adidas does a nice job usually but I hate their 3 stripe shoulder piping. It absolutely ruins the flow of the kit design because they tack it on unnecessarily. The new AC Milan kit is a fine example of that. There's just too much going on in the entire kit with the narrow black and red stripes and the adidas 3-stripe shoulder piping.

I agree with Umbro, them and Nike are two of the best kit manufacturers, IMO.

I don't know Puma kits always looked fine to me:





I'm not sure about other leagues though.

Kappa is another underrated kit manufacturer.

Recently, they've taken a fascination with the bib-style (Triangular designs adorning the neck areas). I don't like it at all.
