Pink kits are quite marmite aren't they. No middle ground with them. I like it personally, it's very trendy but can see it aging badly.

Its a kit designed for the teenage fans who will love it and sell loads so cant blame the club for that  :scarf: personally a no from me though

Are you Dick Emery.??

I’m on the fence with this one..  other than for sales, I can’t see a reason for this one - when will we have such a kit clash that neither the hoops nor blue would work with.?

My 8 year old son loves it.  Not for me, I don't like the mint green at all.

It's absolutely atrocious. I love it.

Those mint green shorts are coming with me on holiday.

That black keeper's top might also be an essential purchase. So elegant.

I bought the white keeper top, doubting I'd see Timmy in it much, but it's a pub shirt, am sure the pink will get bought for holidays.
Even I think the mint shorts are horrendous though lol.

Opinions eh? I think they're a great brand, we've had some cracking stuff from them.

I have just been down to the shop, on my way home to Coventry.


It's an interesting shirt and colour combination.  Particularly as I am colour blind.

It's a maybe at the the end of the season for me.    The green is nice

  because the shop person said it was green and pink.

I ask a stranger or an assistant when I go clothes shopping

Maybe what Coventry sees is the real mint & the rest of us see?????

A lad that I knew was colour blind but there were only two colours that he couldn’t pick up on. One was pink.

A lad I play with can’t differentiate between pink and grey.

That I think is a reasonably common  trait. Personally I'm 50/50 although some friends like it

I once knew a sparky that was colour blind, although I don't know which colours he was unable to differentiate.

Juventus original shirt was pink, of course Beckhams Miami has gone for it too, so it’s a fashion thing now.

I quite like it but pink and green hoops would be more Rovers. Or even Violet and green hoops!

My 7 year old daughter chose this top today, despite me desperately nudging her towards the red and white. It's her first Rovers shirt and she loves it.  Put it on as soon as we left the club shop.

Being a modern, woke , metrosexual kind of guy, I’m quite happy to sport a pink t-shirt or maybe a pink pullover, tossed casually over the shoulders. When I saw the new third kit on the net I thought it looked quite groovy, however after seeing it in the flesh today, it looked horrendous. Maybe it looks better in electric light than daylight, saw loads in it today, must be selling like hot cakes,  so what do I know.
