If your going to go vintage, why not do it right?!
Nicely done, Macron!
As it is now, the buttons are on what is traditionally the wrong side for men\'s shirts (ie the correct side for a womens blouse for example).
Excelent effort otherwise by Macron - I\'d love one of these in Newton Heath green and gold...
Maybe the Wesy Ham kit might not be bad after all if the go down this road.

bye bye from bologna :cheer:
And shirts are more \"fresh\" than football shirts, jaja....
You know what \'Anonymous\', there are reasons why kits don\'t look like this any more but the main ones are cold-hearted mass globalisation and the shamelessly pathetic, embarrassingly transparent, scarcely creative, profit orgy that football shirt design has become, and full credit to this kit for, just once, honouring the days when this was not the case with a touch of class and dignity.
Are you serious man? This is the TRUE story:
"...After long discussions, red and blue were chosen as team colours. However, the colours were not chosen because they correspond to the colours of the city, but following the proposal of Arrigo Gradi, who - having played with the Swiss college of Schoneberg Rossbach - had two red-and-blue team kits, one of which he was ready to offer to the club to save some money. However, these original shirts were different from the current kit: in fact, only the arm sleeves had alternated colours. In 1910/11, the traditional shirt with red and blue stripes was adopted".
