New kit!

[Upton Rover]

Looks cheap, I’m sure is cheap, but not for fans @ £50. Blue “why that”

[jmt23]

I’m not sure, but I certainly don’t hate it either. I think It’s maybe hard to make red and white stripes look classy. Maybe that’s just me, I always think it’s an average football kit and never anything more. ( by the way, it’s my clubs colours and I’m proud of that!)

That’s the one thing the Black away kit we had a couple of years ago, had in spades, it just looked the part on the players and fans.

I really like the white keepers kit,( that does have a classy look to it)  but white on a keeper,? glad I’m not their parents washing that every Sunday and Wednesday.

[PDX_Rover]

Like it a lot. Pass Logistics sounds like a football stat. Score

[jmt23]

I’ve stumbled on a question for the more knowledgeable fans that lurk on here.

I have mentioned White kits on a keeper part in jest, but does anyone know why traditionally keepers have worn green - was it grass stains? I’ve had a few at this point and could be talking absolute rubbish.

[drfchound]

Nice kit.
Great video.

£40 for a shirt for a 6 year old always feels a lot. Tickets are 1/4 of the adult price and shirts 4/5 of the price.

It’s probably a contrast issue than a laundry one - kits usually red / white / blue back in the day so made the keeper stand out clearly - especially as they didn’t wear gloves back then

[IDM]

Yes, but for a tiny amount of clubs, no one really had green shirts (Plymouth.?) so to distinguish the goalie green made sense.

[Usher wide.]

Can’t help but feel that in all the club does for us as supporters with ticket prices etc., the one thing it knows will sell is the ‘new cub shirt’. & the rest of the first team kit regardless of ages.

It’s an ‘easy hit’ of course but c’mon, do the prices really reflect the cost of the garment or indeed the unnecessary mark up the club asks its supporters to pay?

[Herman Hessian]

It mentions that navy is back, but I'm trying to recall when we had navy trim in the past.

1999/2000

I have a memory of the Dutch keeper wearing white in the 74 World Cup. probably remember it for the novelty

[Chris Black come back]

Aside from the horrific apparition that was the hand drawn badge in 97/98, I couldn’t tell you one kit from the rest. Also maintain it is highly suspect to be wearing a replica shirt to the game if you are an adult.

[Metalmicky]

I like the "stripe" sizing, bar the bottom looks shitly thin,  especially with white shorts. The red boxed shoulders is too much. The extra micro "stripes" I like. The bold navy side panels are cool - would prefer black. But that back red panel is shite. Hoops please, even if broken by a thick side panel. 6/10

Bit harsh...

[Pancho Regan]

I like the kit, it's good to see something a bit different which distinguishes it from the previous one.

And the video is brilliant!

[philsky]

Not keen. But will be buying home and away as per

Surely £40 is nothing.
Introduce your 6 year old to Tennis, Raquet £150 +. All the kit, more than £40, shoes for hard court/carpet/clay etc…. Come on, who’s got kids with trainers less than £40?
Just have a few less pints in the next week or so or don’t have kids, now that’s really cheap!

Fair comment, it was. My first reaction was against that bottom thin stripe and how it sat on the white shorts, but the overall kit is growing on me. It does have some very good features. I'll up it to a 7/10

On the topic of kits, Vales is a thing of beauty.

[River Don]

It's okay. The application of the branding has a bit of the Kappa about it. It's not Kappa though.

[Danmckay456]

I must admit it looks better in person , bought it for my son yesterday £40 I know is a bit steep but he gets more than his moneys worth out of it practically sleeps in it , the blue looks nice on it but the toddler shirts have a round neck not collar and personally I think it looks better

[Spud]

I'm not a fan of collars on sports shirts, always puts me off tbh

Not really with The Rovers in mind .

Is there any news on when the away kit is due - any whispers on what it'll be?

[Alan Southstand]

Just been in the shop this morning and they’re not sure. They think it’ll not be long!

I had someone at work say that a picture got floated about of Sharp with a white and green shirt on but was swiftly taken down.

Not sure if was rubbish or not, but closest thing I've heard to anything at all on the away.

Yeah saw that, however the guy who put it on enjoys a good wind up so probably nothing in it.

[3b4eight]

Yes I saw that, assumed it was unofficial

So, like a kind of crop top then?
