Fulham revel in their status as ‘the people’s second team’. Craven Cottage, their home ground since 1896, retains much of the original charm of Archibald Leitch’s design.
Not even the ludicrous statue of Michael Jackson could dent their popularity with all but Chelsea supporters.
Relegation to the Championship in 2014 has not been reversed, sinking to 20th last season, eleven points clear of the drop into League One.
FULHAM 2016/17 HOME KIT
Made by Adidas, this is the strip Fulham will wear during home games in 2016/17.
It’s a straightforward design from the German manufacturer. The shirt is predominantly white, featuring a red band across the upper chest. This separates the sponsor, Visit Florida, logo from the other motifs on the shirt.
The collar is a curved V-shape with the rear and sides all in black. The front of the neckline is in white. Adidas’ trademark Three Stripes, their logo and the club crest are all in black.
The reverse of the shirt is plain white, without embellishment.
The shorts are black with three white stripes on the outside of each leg. Across each thigh is a thick white band.
Completing the kit is white socks with black trim on the turnover and shin.
It’s an admirably straightforward shirt design and one which is hard to find fault with.
