kit out
"kit out" doesn't belong here. Derived phrases including phrasal verbs like this get their own pages. &mdash; Hippietrail 11:24, 28 May 2004 (UTC)
 * The verb sense has reappeared...not sure you can kit something or that something can be kitted without adding another word such as out making a phrase? trunkie 10:15, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I think "black armbands, complete with stitched-in poppies" is covered by sense 4 ("any collection of items needed for a specific purpose"). It may not be a "collection" for the players, but the manufacturer had to stitch the poppies into the armbands. --80.114.178.7 21:05, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Or sense 6, clothing. It seems to me like I've seen a more specialized sense, like costume or uniform, as in the set of special things one wears for an occasion- but that's a pretty vague recollection. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:42, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Now you say costume/uniform, I remember w:en:template:football kit, because it gave us fixed names like commons:file:kit left arm fcgroningen1213home.png, forcing (US?) English names on football teams in other countries. I don't know which discussion enforced the word kit, but it probably is a bountiful source of durable archived uses of "kit" in your proposed sense. --80.114.178.7 01:05, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I've now added the sense, moved the quote from the rfdefed sense, and deleted that sense. Chuck Entz (talk) 06:52, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

The adjective. DonnanZ (talk) 11:34, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
 * This is a question of attributive use of nouns, right? Sort of the silk problem mentioned down the list, but without the etymological complication.  If so, I would agree with delete. --SanctMinimalicen (talk) 02:06, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete, it's not an adjective. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 11:22, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

Possible missing sense
Chambers 1908 has this noun sense: "a family, in phrase 'the whole kit'"; they derive it from. If they mean something like a collection, or, then our ety disagrees. It's not clear whether they are suggesting it could refer to a family of people. Equinox ◑ 00:22, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

Link named "tankard" refers to entry on Dutch "kit"
A link named "tankard" refers to Dutch "kit", not e.g. Dutch "tankard", which, by the way, I cannot even find in http://gtb.inl.nl/search/?Redav (talk) 11:47, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
