The Mexican strip

Great win against Germany and playing in the sort of proper plain green shirt that Argyle used to have before the club and Puma forgot the traditional kit and colour. Now we're not so strapped for cash can we have Adidas back again?

Can we have some of the Mexican players as well ?

The first Argyle team I saw play back in the seventies played in green and black stripes very similar to the new home shirt and the original club lottery was called the ‘Green and Black’. For me it isn’t a proper Argyle strip unless it’s got green, black and white in it, in that order.

Every time anyone says “can we have Adidas back” I do wonder whether they actually remember the two seasons we did have with Adidas at the turn of the decade. Hands down two of the worst shirts we’ve ever have in not only design but cut and the contentious issue of colour. Not to mention the size of the red blob and the change of logo to the New World Order abomination. I can’t understand why anyone would ever consider the brand again after those years.

Mexico’s kit is still too dark for me.

What actually is "Argyle Green"?

Is there a colour the club recognise as the real green or is it just subjective and each fan picks a green from throughout the ages that to them signifies real Argyle Green - either because they liked that kit or because it corresponded to a particularly successful point in the club's history?

I agree with the association but you cannot beat Adidas quality. By far the best quality shirts I can remember. Having said that I like Puma and this seasons strips look good.

Can we bring in Slaven Bilic's thoughts on this thread. I have a feeling I may agree with him. zzzzzzzz

Mexico's away kit is lush though.

In my humble opinion & 40 years following Argyle, it should be somewhere as close to Pantone 3501 C as we can get.

Just checked out Pantone 3501 C. Spot on! And, yes, Adam R, I'm sure that a lot of it is due to whichever era you personally associate with from an Argyle point of view. My 'Argyle Green' is from my first season - 1966-67.

So Leeds United white with a green and black band? Still trying to forget those days!
