Whites Advice please
« on: June 11, 2021, 01:27:53 PM »
Hey all, strange question but, I need to buy a new 2nd set of whites (non club colours) for Sunday games etc. I've been using my old Newbury kit from c.2005 but it's really starting to get tired, it was great quality material (non of this horrible synthetic or heavy cotton) and I have no idea who is doing top quality whites anymore.
Any advice or pointers as to where I can look?

I suggest you try the more expensive Adidas whites or the GN whites.

Agreed about Adidas, the more expensive trousers are great. The cheaper version are horrendous so worth paying the extra

Highly advise on the SS or Shrey trousers. Get in touch for some really great prices.

I have found NB pants excellent the last 3 seasons, bit pricey but light and tough wearing.

The Adidas mentioned above are great quality I had a pair for a couple of seasons then one of the press studs on the bottom gave up.
Now using the Pro performance GN trousers. Pricey but great quality.

Playing Devil’s advocate about the more expensive Adidas trousers, I’ve had 2 pairs and though I agree they’re very comfortable, the material seems to be extremely fragile and I got big tears in the knee from diving (well with my athleticism more like falling  ;)) in the field which ruined them. The first time this happened I thought I’d just been unlucky but when the 2nd pair went in the same way just a few weeks later I had my doubts. Never had this happen with any other trousers.

Thanks for the input all, gone with the Adidas for now and I'll see how I get on. Always revert back to the NB or GN pro's.
