Kit (association football)


Self nomination - I only discovered this article just over a week ago and was surprised to find out poor it was. I spent last week working on it and it's now approximately ten times longer and, I feel, now up to FA standard.... ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:58, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comments from


 * Support. Stuff what I said weren't right is now.  Innit.  Great work as always, a pleasure to work with you Chris, keep churning these FA's out and keep involving the community.  It's great to be a part of it.  The Rambling Man (talk) 19:56, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Support now. All my comments dealt with quickly. Sorry for the late reply! Woody (talk) 21:57, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Meant to chip in at the peer review but missed the opportunity. A very good article, but I have a concern about Anglocentrism. It is insufficient to merit an oppose, but I have left comments about this and a couple of other things on the talk page. Oldelpaso (talk) 19:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment Again sorry for not seeing this at PR. One omission springs to mind re:sponsorship, particularly national sides not having sponsorship and also was it Barca who have refused to have sponsors logo destroy their famous shirts? Peanut4 (talk) 00:05, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Bilbao too, right? indopug (talk) 06:13, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Response to the last two comments (three if you include the bit about Bilbao :-) ): All good points which I will endeavour to address shortly.... ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:47, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I've been through and removed what I perceived to be the most glaring Anglocentrisms (is that the correct word? is it even a word at all? :-) ), I'll address the other points you raised shortly..... ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * PS That'll teach me for rushing it to FAC ;-) ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, I think/hope I've now addressed all the comments raised above and on the talk page with the exception of national teams not having sponsored shirts - I haven't as yet found a source that discusses this concept..... ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:08, 25 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Please resolve problematic external links. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 01:20, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * All external links show as OK ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:50, 29 January 2008 (UTC)


 *  Part support I really like it. It's got some great images to support the work, well referenced, and well-written. I just think there will always be some omissions. Whether they're so trivial that they don't need including, I'm not sure. Some examples would include:
 * Support all issues addressed. Peanut4 (talk) 14:35, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment. Just from having a quick look at it, I think it would be a good idea to find a few different images. In the current state, it appears extremely UK-centric, imho. EnemyOfTheState (talk) 20:16, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I have significantly revised the images used, hopefully it is an improvement...... ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:51, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Please review the punctuation on sentence fragments vs. full sentences in image captions per WP:MOS. Sandy Georgia  (Talk) 23:16, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
