I trust that for added authenticity they will be marketing these as jerseys, knickers and stockings (with a plain green shirt for the custodian).Does it come with wooden studs
It’s BALLY’S and ADIDAS (again!) and not KAIYUN SPORTS not MACRON, not BOXT, or UNHCR

In my early days I remember the studs were leather, hammered into the sole of the boot. Unfortunately the leather had the tendency to wear around the nail heads. And inside the boot, if you were too enthusiastic, the nails would work through the sole into the boot and cause very uncomfortable holes in your feet.

It will be replaced by "prediction markets" like they have done in the US, until that also gets banned.
Crypto is losing it's vogue.

Interesting. You're more on top of this stuff than I am. Is that the stuff like Polymarket?

We did have white shirts and red shorts as our official away colours at one point. It predated the changing of both / all three kits every year so I expect we would’ve used that combination for a couple of years.

I always really liked that combo. The white socks made it

In the 70s Walsall had white shirts and red shorts. A lad at our school was the chairman’s nephew and had a white shirt, probably with a red trim, though I don’t recall if it had the club badge. I do recall other kids asking why he had it and being told the chairman was his uncle. When they later changed to red shirts I thought they were abandoning what I assumed was their proper kit but for all I know the white shirt itself might have been a break from tradition.I always really liked that combo. The white socks made it

My first shirt was a Barnsley one owing to the fact my Dad is from there and my grandad played for them. Obviously in the 1980s there was absolutely no 7 year old kid from Nottingham that had heard of Barnsley. That shirt quickly got binned off and I demanded a Forest one. Great decision

Yes, that’s it. Gambling is illegal in most US states, somehow they get around that by “predicting futures”, such as predicting the outcome of a football match. It’s not gambling though, just predicting the future.
I am pretty amazed they have been allowed to get away with it yet at the same time I am not, especially with the absurd amount of insider trading involved.

Yeah it appears like an even easier market to manipulate or create the outcome yourself in certain situations

Didn't we play a couple of games this season with red shorts? I thought the combo looked really sweet with the white shirt. They didn't seem to be available for sale either.
Except that the kitman’s wife complained that the white socks were a bugger to get cleanI always really liked that combo. The white socks made it
Yes, just get them in the store

We were supposed to have white-red-white in the 86-87 season and it was in all the promo pictures at start of the season (Brian Rice was picked to model it for some reason) but as far as I can remember we never (or rarely) actually wore it. We started wearing black shorts instead - at Charlton, Man U, Arsenal etc.
maybe West Ham or Villa away we wore red shorts but I can’t really remember.

I was right it was West Ham away early in the season in a 2-1 win. Looked good. Never wore it again.
Christ Franzie Carr tore full backs to pieces that season.
Lovely blend of experience and youth with Birtles, Bowyer & Metgod and Clough, Webb, Walker, Psycho & Carr.

We had a white-red-white away kit under Platt 2000-2002. Was an inverse of the home kit similar to the late eighties.

That’s the one I was remembering. Thanks!

I went to see Forest at West Ham, again, in an early season game, a rusty memory says it might have been one of David McGoldrick's first games for us, and on the way to the game I was asked what our away colours were that season. I, of course, had no clear idea, but said it was white shirt and black shorts. We actually turned out in white shirt and red shorts, a combination which stood in my mind because of that pre-game discussion.

In Taiwos 100th appearance video on YouTube - it definitely looks as though he's wearing some new Adidas clobber, going off those chunky white stripes that are the new thing for this season.

That'll be a gym tshirt or training shirt surely? Would be sick though, not trying to get my hopes up (and sounding like my kids).
