Well FIFA apparently suddenly think it is in issue. Those official FIFA rules may not be clear on the rules regarding short colour but I've seen it mentioned a lot recently that we're heading towards all-one-colour/shade/tone kits at the WC next year. That's shirts, shorts, socks, everything. The fact that all the WC kits we've seen so far have conformed to this new rule seems to back it up, but I'm still yet to find anything definitive regarding the new rules other than a few mentions here and there.

I play ultimate frisbee fairly regularly. Every ultimate player knows when you go to an ultimate game, bring a light & dark shirt. Light usually means white, light grey, light blue, yellow, etc & dark means most colours.

FIFA aren't attempting to head for all one colour strips. Having dark shorts is not an issue. Pretty sure FIFA law dictates that shorts are actually allowed to clash, but shirts & socks aren't.

The scenario FIFA is trying to avoid is what Juventus and Newcastle United have - a light & dark two-toned jersey. It's neither light nor dark, and it's what they want to eradicate from the game.

Maybe it'll look more clear for you irl

The fact that i only just noticed there was yellow after you said this means there's not enough yellow :P If the yellow was more clear it might look better.

It is yellow black and red. There's just more red

Not a massive fan of that Germany kit tbh. Should've made the V yellow black and red #bracesforbacklash

Well obviously you have two have two kits that are different - the likes of WSW and Heart are just ridiculous, but FIFA are going one further for this WC in saying that kits don't just simply have to be different colours, they also have to be different shades - one 'dark' and one 'light' and you can't have a kit with both light and dark colours.

No idea how they class 'light' and 'dark' colours though. I'd have thought Spain may possibly be alright with a red top and blue shorts but obviously not. Also Sweden's leaked kit has blue shorts, maybe if they actually qualify for the WC they'll have to wear another colour :? It's all really quite ridiculous.

New Russia kit is amazing



Adidas are finally getting back to decent kits!!!!

My interpretation is basically, you cant be like WSW. Have a red and black home top and then have a red and white away top. You must have different colour kits as has always been the case.

Just did a bit of research, http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/tournament/competition/01/47/38/17/regulationsfwcbrazil2014_en.pdf - see point no. 2 under 'Equipment'.

So if I've interpreted that correctly they only have trouble with teams like Germany who have a predominantly light top and predominantly dark shorts, but are fine with teams like Colombia who have a yellow top and white shorts as both colours are classed as 'light'.

So I suppose that means Australia will likely have an all yellow kit. So many teams that are going to look terrible without their traditional coloured shorts, Brazil, Argentina and Spain spring to mind.

Don't think it's a rule as such, I think they're just really trying to push teams to wear all-one-colour kits, god only knows why.

First im hearing of it. Once again its a really stupid rule by FIFA if true. Sometimes it looks ok like when Holland go all Orange or England with the all red kit. But germany have always been White shirt and black short, its their tradition.

Germany are going to look really weird in white shorts.

Does anyone know the full story regarding this thing about FIFA wanting teams to have all-one-colour kits at the WC now?

Shutup and take my money

In my defence it wasn't looking likely at that time iirc :(

Fuck you Benjo :lol:

This bad boy has just arrived. Love it. Eintracht Frankfurt 2012/13 Home kit.

I think I just jizzed a little!

Like that Everton kit

Part of me likes it, but most of me hates it.

This :lol: Its funny, I actually really like it.

My clubs new kits, love the home kit, hoping the away grows on me though, Red and Gold is out of left field.

So who is making these unbranded kits, and who is distributing them?

Gah what's with the collars this season, they're ruining a lot of kits.

:lol: didn't notice the 'e' and 'l' at first.

But he's not leaving. :p

Fuck I love that navy trim on our home kit.

Not going to lie, did laugh (even though he wont go).

Is it wierd that my favourite part of this kit is that we have hooped socks again. Now just to get them back in the home kit and I'll be really happy, although I'd be happy enough just getting red socks back and getting rid of the white ones.

There was the maroon home one year too. The year Vieira left in preseason.

Like I said - happy for the yellow to have meaning, and like the idea that it isn't a random colour, but I'm yet to be impressed with the yellow kits they've put out. Did like the O2 Invincibles one though
