Birmingham City’s 08/09 away kit is a cross between last season’s 3 kits - a white top (away) with a red vertical panel in the middle (color: third, style: home).

It makes for a decent-looking kit but when taken in conjunction with the home kit and comparing the two with last year’s kits you can’t help but get the feeling that they saved money on the creative process this season and churned out average looking shirts.

Birmingham City’s 08/09 home kit sees Umbro make a return to all blue, with an imposing white collar added along with white-rimmed sleeves and splashes on the side.

It’s less impressive than last season’s kit but is a solid shirt nevertheless.

Club teams seem to have a third kit that is outrageous and has nothing to do with the color scheme of crest or badge and are often too busy. Birmingham City has created a third kit for the 2007-08 Premiership Campaign that is a different color scheme, but has none of the other traits that are typically associated with third kits. This top is a solid field of red with white and blue touches around the collar.

The sponsor logo and the Birmingham City badge really set off a nice looking third kit for this club. Sure to become a fan favorite, do not be surprised to see this kit often during this season.

When the “Blues” from Birmingham City travel to other destinations they will be wearing a simple yet classic white top from Umbro. This kit is placed on a solid field of white and has touches of blue and grey around the collar. Compliment that with two Umbro logos on the right collar bone and right sleve, and the Birmingham City Badge on the left chest and you have an extremely great looking jersey.

Unlike the home kit, the sponsor logo blends really well with this top due to the simplicity of the design. Many teams have tried to have an away kit that has a retro feel to them, and Birmingham City has done this and succeeded by making it something to see.

Umbro has long been known for their kits. From sponsoring countries such as England and Sweden, to other clubs around the world, quality has never been compromised. It is no different when it comes to the kits that Birmingham City will wear for the current campaign at home. This beautiful top is blue on the sides and white down the middle, matching the color scheme of the badge perfectly. Add an Umbro logo on each of the sleeves and top it off with the perfect amount of white around the collar and you have one nice kit.

However this kit does border being “too” busy. The sponsor logo is close to being too large, but that should not reflect the kit itself, but Umbro is very close to having too much going on. Call me a purist, but I like the classic solid kits. But you can make that call yourself.
