Surely the league realises how bad their badge looks on every kit.

Probably waiting for Hyundai's sponsorship to run out, then look at a new deal with shiny new logos.

Huh. I guess it's happening. New Victory kit. I really don't want the notion of changing every season to become a trend in the A-League.

InB4 they put a gradient around or instead of the V

I'm a fan of it. It was depressing that we were stuck with the horrendous rashie skivvies from Kappa for two years...I couldn't update my ISC jersey until Nike came around.

Well don't update then, no one's forcing you to. I'm not a fan of clubs swindling the fans for money every single year because they know people will buy it. Victory fans are the worst for it, that stupid Archie commemorative jersey released the other day sold out in hours. They will buy anything.
The A-League has always been good in enforcing a two-year rule for home kits (and usually away kits as well) and we can all remember a time when the Premier League did the same. In fact it was Arsenal who was the last team to uphold the two year tradition I believe.
I was personally waiting for a decent kit to buy, Reebok, ISC, and Kappa all failed. Nike delivered with last season's away kit so I'm good for a few years now.

How good would it be without a sponsor... the difference is incredible, so much cleaner.
I still don't get this though and this kit will frustrate me. Why didn't they use the actual template that is based on? Every other third Adidas club has it. The higher chevron will look less bothersome than this – this shirt will have three stacks; logos, v, sponsor, instead of the logo and v being merged into one as is on the usual template. Plus the stripes down the side would have made the top half way less busy.
Maybe the club released this as it knew Essien was coming a while ago, and wanted to capitalise on that?
Overall, the shirt is clean looking but this sort of gradient v is a bit naff. The old fat chevron looked really strong and full and it was a bold look, this just looks pointless – seriously you could actually get rid of it.
(I will say though, the Victory V is a really unique element in world soccer, and although it will never hold the prestige of these other ones, it reminds me of other clubs with weird elements who are uniquely identifiable: The Boca Juniors' yellow hoop, River Plate's sash, Monaco's half and half sash, Blackburn's halves...)

It's like the guys on the sides are pointing and the guy in the middle can't decide which finger to look at.IGA's away kit for the 2016/17 season.

The fat chevron was terrible. Went waaaay too deep which meant the sponsor ended up way down on the belly. Looked like crap. Adidas' second effort (13-15 seasons) was the best one we've had. The chevron was thinner and shallower (but still not as good as it could be), but there was still a bit too much white trimmings for my liking.
I reckon this current one, but with a full white chevron instead of the gradient, would be my ideal kit. All navy, no excess white bits, and an almost perfectly sized chevron.

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!
If they are selling this without a sponsor then this is the one to get for Victory fans. I like the way they have done the chevron, it is there but it doesn't dominate the kits which is basically all navy, but then I prefer their first all navy kit so I might be in the minority.

Chevrons and sashes aren't great on the modern templates that cut off early at the shoulders
Victory would benefit from having the latest Adidas template with the stripes on the side. Give room for there to be elements like a chevron higher up.
Of course they should have just used the Middlesborough away template. Side stripes and a gradient chevron that is higher up and thicker and the gradient looks better than the faded out one they are using.

I'm confused... the design isn't the same as yours, and adidas have been using gradient chevrons in many of their kits over the last couple of seasons. Why are you taking it so personally?

On another note, really liking under armour's effort with spurs' home kit this season. Though we lost yesterday the (almost) all-white looked sensational, with the navy on the shoulders ensuring that "spurs" look.
