Next seasons kit choice?

[Pepe the Horseman]

Last week I saw a picture of a Reading shirt on Twitter that was just those climate change stripes top to bottom. I thought it was a joke at the time but now it seems not. That it looked a strange mix of light blue and pinkish reds, rather than a defined colour would make a third kit seem necessary.

Like this?

No, horizontal. Like mini hoops.

I could get on board with that.

Kudos to the club for partnering with the university to incorporate the climate stripes in the kit.

Don't care if its a bit ugly. I'm behind that all the way.

Yeah, good message and it's nice the club are making a point to try and become more sustainable.

I actually like the shirt, although the sleeves would probably work better on a shirt with a block colour and not the hoops. I'm interested to see how/if they will incorporate it into the away (and possibly third) kit.

Could have been worse, could have gone for a swastika design:

I mean, without anyone saying it, I wouldn't have seen it myself.

But now you have said it, I can see where they are coming from.

That’s definitely a swastika

Our new keeper kit out and disappointingly bland

Yeah the top one is the one I saw.

Sentiments and ‘statements’ aside

The new kit looks like a a Reading shirt with my nans (god rest her soul) knitting stitched on.

Not that I would be ever be buying, but I hated my nans knitting

And ultimately, combined, it looks even shitter.

It's grown on me very quickly. I like the message. I like that you can see the same stripes around Reading, including on buses. It's a shame we're sponsored by a car leasing company, in retrospect, but there we go.

Looking forward to seeing the away kit, if indeed it is as 'controversial'. When is it due? Have we ever started a season waiting for a kit launch?

Actually really like that home concept kit; should have gone with that

[AthleticoSpizz]

…..and much better looking than what we have been left with.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess

Not usually one to really care about this but it's the day before the first away game and they haven't announced the kit, that must be a record?

I'd be fine if they kept last seasons away kit for the rest of time.

Someone posted a The Athletic article a few pages ago, really did seem like a lot of clubs haven't confirmed/released their kits yet.

Supply issues innit

We can wear the home one tomorrow anyway

Hi guys, Blackburn fan here and football kit collector.
Hope no one minds me posting here. I’d just like to stay I was very impressed with the Reading kit for last season. Even more so when I came to the SCL stadium and saw the players in it. Was hoping for something similar again this year as I missed out in being able to buy one but I don’t think I will get this new one. It feels like a miss-match with those sleeves unfortunately.

This kit actually looks class with the red numbers on the back!
