It's time for another round of Kit Korner Internationale! What does this Wales kit have to do with AC Milan? Also, what does this Ecuador kit have to do with...AC MILAN?! And finally, what did the Socceroos actually wear at the 74 World Cup? Most importantly, are they flash🤩 or trash🤮?

BIG UPDATE: I heard from someone at PayPal and they have taken care of us. We love PayPal again! It's available at checkout along with Stripe for all your payment needs. Thanks all!

Guys it’s been a day. Let’s see: - Charlie Austin posted our podcast on his instagram - QPR posted our Purple for Lily Green shirt program - We were overwhelmed (in a good way) by the support and the generosity of the QPR family near and far - Our PayPal account was overwhelmed (in a bad way)

Oxford United are calling their 25/26 home shirt a "modern classic." It's (unsurprisingly) inspired by a series of collared shirts from the 90s and it is pretty sharp. The hoops on the sleever are a nice touch. And good on them for not having a betting sponsor. 4/5

Some catching up to do- Apart from a terrible sponsor, the 25/26 Sheffield Wednesday shirt is super nice. The sublimated SWFC in the stripes is a fun "fauxback" that feels very eary 90s. The sponsor, as we all know, sucks. Thankfully it's available sponsorless - that version is 5/5. But with? 4/5

When we read the Odyssey in school, for no real reason, we started calling this on kid in class Telemachus and we would kind of sing it to him to the tune of the jingle for The Animal. It went "Telemachus, Telemachus, can anything stop...Telemachus!" We still call him Telemachus to this day.

Here’s Cam Schlittler appearing to say “fuck Boston” on his way off the mound. Hook this took my veins.

We are all blown away and truly grateful for the responses and reactions we have had to the Purple for Lily appeal. From QPR fans, from QPR themselves, and from our New York supporter club community. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This is so special and overwhelming. Thank you x

My actual president

Happy to report that this is now my most liked Bluesky post

This one is what they used to call "a very special episode" in the 80s/90s. We cried, we laughed, we talked about how much Mayor Adams sucks. Give it a listen. #QPR

I stepped in to host this at 10 pm. We finished at about 11:30 but we somehow made something I’m really proud of. Hope you’ll all listen. #QPR

A very special episode dropping tomorrow

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

the history will continue until morale improves

Really proud of what we’re doing to support one of our own. QPR NYC is a family, and the same is true of The Football Factory. Within an hour of posting the shirts on our socials, we got orders from @newyorkfoxes.bsky.social and @fulhamnyc.bsky.social. Thank you all for your support. 💜💙

Cancer sucks. the QPR NYC family are sad to say that one of our own, Jimmy Green’s daughter Lily has been diagnosed aged 23 To support Lily & the Green family we have released a one-off T-shirt to support their medical expenses. All monies go towards the fund qprnyc.bigcartel.com/product/qpr-...

I missed the starting lineup but subbed on late for Ant's Kit Korner. This week on a special kit corner, we're joined by @tinglejk.bsky.social as we debate the merits of the NY Rangers Centennial Jersey & a Wednesday kit that I inexplicably own. And of course we determine: are they flash🤩 or trash🤮

You know who else was just following or…uh, never mind

First full day of Autumn. 16 year old Ant really lived his best life this Summer. Extremely grateful. Also grateful for the replica kit drawer.

In a real rare situation, Stoke city‘s home and away are a lot more interesting than their third shirt. The design itself is fine but, not to sound like a broken record, the gambling sponsor ruins everything. 2.5/5

One time on our customer service line at work, someone left a voicemail that was the entirety of New Slang. The message started, the song began playing. And when the song ended, they hung up.

“And Jesus wept.”

Surprise: no one can watch it!

I had a feeling you (and everyone else) would hate that kit! Here's a look at it for those playing along at home as well as the Milan Copa Centenario Belo Horizonte shirt I was wearing for the recording and of course the man Zvonimir Boban jump-kicking a cop.

Just catching up on highlights of QPR's thrashing of Wrexham after missing Saturday. The home shirt is a fairly uninteresting effort to honor the return to the Championship of the world's richest underdogs. Not a huge fan of centered badges and how ever did such a tiny club get that sponsor?🤔 3/5

If you see this, quote with the energy you bring to Bluesky.

Happy Birthday to the late #QPR legend Ray Wilkins who played in the Premier League while looking exactly like Frank Subotka from S2 of The Wire. An exemplar of the elite-professional-athletes-looking-like-your-high-school-shop-teacher period in sport, which ran from approximately 1972 to 1994.

This week on the Emmy Award winning segment Ant's Kit Korner, we go international as we take on the plucky underdogs from Wales (who spent £33 million this summer), UEFA minnows Andorra and South Korea. Are they flash🤩 or trash🤮?

Charlton’s home shirt is actually pretty decent considering they have one of the most boring kit histories in the league. It’s got a little pattern to it and the black accent is nice. A solid effort. 3.5/5

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social guy is like "Hey, who wants to do a fun thing?" and people are like "A fun thing? That sounds like a fun thing to do!" The media still can't figure out his popularity.

hug your QPR friends today 🫂

Coventry’s home shirt is a tribute to their proud history of kits. The kind of shirt that makes you want to go out & put 5 goals in 1 half past a team who look like they’ve never played a match together (or possibly at all). Bet there will be some fun new kits for me to review in League 1! 4.5/5

This week's Kit Korner featured two (and a half?) Coventry City kits. But are they flash🤩 or are they trash🤮? As always, use code KitKorner to save 10% at QPRNYC.bigcartel.com

Watford’s home kit isn’t terrible but it’s got that dumbass panel for name and numbers on the back and they’re still sponsored by Chinese boner pills and/or a Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn. Also why doesn’t Kelme put paws up the sleeve of shirts anymore. Bring that back. 2.5/5

@fifaworldcup26.bsky.social concept for World Cup 26 mascot: it's Striker the World Cup Pup from 94 but he's seen some shit in the last 30 years. The promise of the 90s has evaporated into the grim reality of the 2020s. He's grayer and grizzled (& also has an eyepatch and cybernetic arm and leg).

In this week's edition of Ant's Kit Korner, the segment the internet is talking about, we tackle the 1993-95 Watford away kit and learn why it's the Bigfoot of mid-90s kits. As always, Kit Korner is brought to you by QPRNYC.bigcartel.com - save 10% with coupon code KitKorner.

@dtvconnoisseur.bsky.social just got Night of the Sharks from Severin with your quote on the back. Very cool!

Me whenever Trump does anything:

Rating opponents’ kits again in 25-26. Preston’s third shirt is…well, it sucks. It looks terrible in the sun on tv, too. Credit for having a local business sponsor instead of gambling nonsense. 1.5/5

Furthest I’ve been: N: Edinburgh S: Curaçao E: Istanbul W: Kauai

On the inaugural installment of my new segment Ant’s Kit Korner- we decide if the 1994-95 Preston home kit (as worn by Sir. David Beckham himself) is Flash or Trash. What do you say?

@markfrost.bsky.social in 1990 is the vibe I’m going for all summer.

Me every time I have to tell a coworker their idea is terrible or their ai slop is trash and no one would buy it:
