Ebbsfleet kit

Post by E10quence »

Very reminiscent of our 96/97(?) Acclaim kit.

Wouldn't mind Meyba doing a modern version of that. Expect it'll be chevron or braces for the home kit though.

I'm hopeful for the new Meyba kits, fingers crossed for something unique and perhaps retro inspired

It's either that or 97/98. Pretty sure you have it correct though. I think the 97/98 kit was the one with the white vertical stripe with black boarder down the middle. First season of Marchpole Group sponsoring us I think.

In terms of our new Meyba kit, I'm hoping we get something more imaginative rather than another rehash.

I imagine they'll want to play it safe with the home shirt, since the fanbase tend to get very conservative over that, but expecting something a bit more creative/imaginative for away/third.

Lovely shirt.

I remember their Middlesbrough kits from the 90s. Iconic.

Can't say I like that. Looks childish and lacks class.
I'm sure our owners will choose something a lot more classy.
That's really old fashioned as well
Not for me im afraid

Pretty sure Ebbsfleet United didn’t exist in 1998

Yeah I think they reinvented themselves as the Eurostar station that trains never stop at

Not a fan myself.

Or maybe a rework of the block pattern Acclaim kit.

Do we reckon this blank Meyba kit is a hint of what is to come from the new home shirts? Looks worrying like the Woolwich Arse.
