Why does every sportswear manufacturer today seem to be of the belief that the yoof of today want really flashy football kits? Look at American sports. You might get bonkers designs on trainers/trainees/sneakers etc, but the team kits themselves are very conservative and traditional in design, year in year out. And kids are still buying them. These companies are still making fortunes out there. I don't think US kids' tastes are all that different to kids from places that love (proper) football.

I used to have a beautiful Adidas polo from the LFC golf range. 
 

Was a proper, good quality, cotton polo. 

Navy, small red Adidas logo and just a small red liver bird. Nothing else, not even LFC on it. Just simple and gorgeous.
 

It cost a fucking fortune for what it was but I’d by another 3 tomorrow if there was anything remotely like it.

The club merchandise or sports wear isnt aimed at anyone over 30. Why's anyone surprised. The US stuff can be better but it has a bigger market with the older white audience that isn't looking to buy the flashy stuff. Thats why the nfl has all the plainer stuff and the camo gear it has.

I had similar from Reebok days. We had a store that got trial clothing and stuff that never got release. I had a dark navy blue polo, small round badge(under 2 inches) that was red trimmed white oval with a red liver bird. A red collar. Nothing else.

Not all of it. 
 

When they did the simplistic, classic kits they were fine. 
 

The rest is such fucking eye aids I still repped you. 

I liked last year's"anthem jacket" (although the concept of an "anthem jacket" is one for the Shitness thread).
