i'm a fan of simple designs tbh, i think that's what i don't mind it. my only issue is how iconic their last badge was.

i don't really have any favourite badges, but in terms of kits there's a few i love.

Roma's last three have been immense. The one with the collars was the best, I had to buy it even though I don't support them.

There was even an article about it

I've always liked the Roma kits, I'm an Everton fan. We've had our fare share of terrible strips throughout the years haha

yeah, the white roma kits are beautiful as well. i've got 3 united kits but i'll still need to snatch one of the new ones regardless because i love the design so much

seattle sounders white xbox kit was always class as well.

Am I right in thinking that the Roma kits are all indie sponsored too? Make and sponsor themselves?

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard · 01-17-2017, 12:17 PM

pretty sure they're sponsored by nike, aren't they?

pauldoon · 01-17-2017, 12:19 PM

I meant in terms of the kit sponsorship sorry - they removed the sponsor a couple of years ago and just have the blank kit?

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard · 01-17-2017, 12:21 PM

all they have is a tiny nike check on the left side, but tbh it's done so tastefully that it just like regular polo shirt.

Yeah, before the contract with Nike they made their own kit as well, for one season.

It wasn't very good.

Btw thoughts on Ross Barkley and how he is doing? I try to keep my eye on young English players but haven't seen much this season outside the Championship, Barkley is one I was quite excited about.

I think he shows a lot of promise but really needs to work on his consistency. The game against City was the best I've seen him play this season - if Koeman can keep him on his toes and keep the performances I think he'll be back in the England squad by the summer.

Just hope he doesn't turn out to be another Huddlestone though ha
