New Kits...Old Kits

One of the things I really love about the new football season, is the fact that the new club kits have been heavily influenced by the kits used in the 70's and 80's. You need look no further than the new Manchester United home kit.

And the new Blackburn rovers kit designed by umbro (who designed the new England kit) seems to have taken its inspiration from the past with their new kit and collar. Blackburn have always kept a very traditional blue and white kit since the beginning of the club, something which is unique in the footballing kit world with teams changing their colours and stripes quite often.
