Future
As to the future, he points to an innovativereversible shirt, now sported by Manchester United away from home. White on one side, gold on the other, it offers two kits for the price of one. He also believes we could soon see all-in-one kits, based on the figure-hugging Lycra suits now common in athletics. These might not catch onamongst fans, but they would cut out shirt-tugging at a stroke.
Most fans fancy themselves as a kit designer. When Umbro ran a competition with the Sunday Mirror newspaper for a new Manchester United design, they were swamped by 50,000 entries. So does Darran have any tips for any would-be designers?
'Above all, some colours just don't work in football,' he advises. 'Silver is difficult, pastels are tough, but brown is a shocker! The best shirt is one that is striking, modern and refreshing.' |
