First of all....Calm down.
Second, its not that bad we have had many way worse kits, But i do agree its a bit of a mish mash kit not really deciding on what colour the kit should be.
I think lose the tangerine shorts replace them with black and white and its not a bad kit.
Done.

With a pair of black shorts, it would be smart. The orange shorts are ridiculous.
a bit of a mish mash
--------------------------------------------
Classic understatement.
It's totally random and looks absolutely fricken awful!
At least they got the logo colours amended this year. A step in the right direction. Pity that this 'positive' has been swamped by a million negatives in the away strip.
A real shame, since they did reasonably well with the 'home' top this year.
That iznae...naw it canny be...ahhhh it is...Willo Floods a model...
Dundee, where the Floodster is a looker!
But it is more flattering than the strip he wore at Parkhead Hector
Its definetely the shorts thats the problem. The top isnt that bad.
colin
Theres no accounting for taste matey, bet you had the Gers barberpole strip...Ye did didn't ye...
cybershed are you the old kit designer you are really taking this to heart!!!!
Its just the away kit!
:'-(
Worse strip so far for next season.
Celtic 3rd kit followed by Dundee Away kit
It's terrible, the shirt and shorts were designed by two people that never met. Probably fine on their own but together... agh!
It could be worse though, this has got to be the worst strip I've ever seen: http://www.sportsdirect.com/umbro-england-away-shirt-2011-2012-goalkeeper-short-sleeve-371202
For the first time ever, I feel sorry for an England goalkeeper.
Hahaha that England Keeper strip is horrific, have a look at the Dundee Utd and Celtic fans might make you feel better about your disasterous tops
Talking of strips... have you seen the new Everton goalie top?...

No.
It's just that I know how hard it is for the club to generate money from merchandise sales - and a popular replica strips can generate a substantial sum as the mark-up is considerable.
The first Nike one (with the centenery badge on it) was a simple design and was bought and worn by a lot of fans.
When the financial climate is tough, the club should be making doubly sure that they do their research and get their merchandise products right; to encourage sales and revenue.
Our chairman comes from a retail background and should be well on top of this.
I only want what's best for the club.
I remember reading a comment from the Commercial Manager at Man City in a marketing magazine and he said something like 'when I look around the stands on match day and see around 80% of our supporters wearing the sky blue replica top I know I have done my job well.'
Do you get my drift?
The Everton one is weird, I thought goalkeepers were supposed to wear bright scary colours to make themselves look bigger, not camoflague themselves!
The new United one though... honestly the people that designed it thought it looked good? Idiots. If I hear Houston was involved...
The picture quality is terrible too. Dillon looks a shade away from being Buaben's brother, the shadows are placed all wrong, the white in the strip looks dirty, the socks are all at different heights and the lighting is just generally awful. Did they hire a blind photographer? It's PC gone maaad!

You wee fairy
It's a little thing called "style" - look it up sometime.
Camouflage . If a striker is running through on goal I think he is anticipating a goalkeeper. I can see a controversy if he handles outside the box and the referee misses it!
They look like they got dressed in the dark, might look better with black shorts and socks.
Just had a look and its not great, the shorts look terrible. Maybe its designed to put the other teams off or startle them even, if we wear it in poland and come away undefeated then it might have just done its job. I was hoping for an all black strip with white or tangerine chevron, the opposite of the home strip. Now i'd have bought one of them.
I've just brought up my dinner!! Why the tangerine shorts? The actual top is OK and would be fine with black shorts. Are these people actually being paid for this?
i actually quite like the top but the shorts are shocking
that england top is terrible
i feel a bit sorry for the boys being forced to wear it that could stop us signing players who would want to come to a club and wear that to be ridiculed every time you go out onto the pitch
with black shorts it would be aa good strip
