Nuff said.

 

Arsenal

Two variations on familiar themes and one... whatever that is meant to be.

 

Southampton Home

Quite right, too.

 

West Ham Home

Horrible.  A real West Ham kit has blue sleeves.  You might wear this shirt to sit around eating your breckie in, but you wouldn't play football in it.

 

QPR 3rd

Joey Barton dressed like something from 1960s/70s Leeds.  Appropriate.

 

Palace Home and Away.

It's probably best that these two are standing at a respectable distance.  There'd be a serious risk of eye-AIDS if all those colours blended together.

Where did this trend for skin tight football shirts come from?

 

Sure it looks fine on a toned professional athlete, but do sports companies not understand that the replica shirt buying demographic is more Haystacks than Hercules?

yeah, even those Arsenal players look like they've been tied round the middle to fit in

West Ham home shirt is nice, but probably not so much for the older generations. Arsenal shirts are also better now with Puma then Nike, imo..

That West Ham shirt is reminiscent of their 1985-86 season shirt (West Ham's highest ever top division finish) , so I imagine it will prove popular with fans in their 30's, 40's etc.

What I meant with older fans has more to do with the design of any kitmaker - tighter, slimfit, "weird" designs, etc.

Leicester City home kit. Basically it's Italy's kit but with gold details whereas Italy's has green, white and red details. One of the best kits in the Premier League this season for me.

Even the second guy from the left is holding his gut in.

Because these shirts are so tight, you can't see the letters "F, U, C" at the beginning or "L, E, S, S" at the end.

I think they looked at fans wearing shirts and assumed they preferred skin tight.

Little did they realise it wasn't skin tight by choice!
