i like it, i think its a grower. i think most peoples problem with it is the home strip really has not changed much for a number of years but now they have changed it quite a bit, but have done a good job at keeping it traditional.

on a side note i am glad they have a more royal blue but still similar to last years!!

Dangerous Is it just me or does the front of it look false, there's just something not right about it, I can't put my finger on it.


Your just pissed off you'll have to change your avatar...( you and many others actually)

Don Finch I like it, a bit different, stripes down the arms will look better on short sleeves too I reckon. As long as they don't have that print - copy - scan - fax shoite down the back I'll be buying it.


The Prem doesn't allow advertising on the back of the shirts so thankfully the 'print - copy - scan - fax' has had to go...

I have to say it is growing on me...

SWLR Re all the negative comments - I seem to recall similar outbursts last year (sleeves, tone of blue, blue shorts etc..). They've had a go at addressing the first two points, but the off-set style is obviously too trendy/ challenging for the average inhabitant of this site.

£5 discount is at least a nodd to the fact this is the third shirt in 3 years.


There's nothing "trendy" about it. It's just a mess.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the whole point of overlock stitching was that it was doen on the seams on the inside of a garment!!

RFCFAN13's DIY mockup with the amateur stitching wasn't that far off the mark! Perhaps RFCFAN13 should sue them for pinching the design.

Indeed, it is just so cutting edge to have an asymmetric kit like nearly every other Championship club did last season.

Its really doing my head in looking at it for some reason.

If the white sleeve was blue (or vice versa) I think it would be an excellent kit! It would look better on the back too.

It just doesnt look right. Why did they do that?

Every season there are more moaning minnies than happy campers when the new kit comes out, even though it's generally pretty much the same as every other year.

It's really no big deal. Get a life guys! :lol:

Oh dear o dear.

The white collar thing looks awful. It reminds me of the Italy goalkeeping shirt fiasco. It looks like there's a white t-shirt underneath the shirt which is a poor look.

The hoop/stripe arm combo just looks a mess, coupled with the plain blue back (which I appreciate we can't do much about).

Someone get Adidas in and sort it out.

Good call, however if you've seen the new Real Madrid kit, you might not be so keen.
More trim than you could shake a stick at.

If it had plain sleeves and a normal collar it would be a brilliant kit. I think the hoops on the sleeves are just awful.

No wonder theres a £5 discount.

I think I'm gonna buy the away shirt this year.

Newman was Waiting Really like it..does look a bit like Ipswich from the back.. but I think Puma have done well.


I was about to post exactly the same. I'll probably buy it having got the away one yesterday.
