New Kit

[claretburns]

The shirts which have been leaked, if real, look a small size perhaps for kids? Then the adult version will have a different 18+ sponsor?

[BurnleyFC]

I’m not sure Alan is particularly averse to gambling.

He’s certainly gambling with our future as it is.

That’s a good point and would make sense - but they look adult sized to me.

[dandeclaret]

Ruled themselves out of having betting companies though haven't they....

I thought they’d played it with a straight bat, but not ruled it out totally:

The shirt IS real and that IS the Home sponsor.

[Goalposts]

Cant get any enthusiasm up for this shirt other than the no gambling sponsor angle, but then ive only bought 4 strips from the last 6 years and 2 of them where the away strips, wont be buying this home strip.

[Billy Balfour]

It looks utter pants.

[TickTock]

Disagree I love the new kit as do the majority of the fanbase based off several votes, its unique and different will defo be buying it.

[AlargeClaret]

Bit of a throwback ,and looks very “ low league” but I’ve seen worse .

[SirBob]

I absolutely love it.

I’ve not bought a shirt in 10 years but I’ll be getting this one

[Belial]

They've probably cottoned on to the popularity of the old birdsh1t shirt and attempted to revisit that one. I was only a kid at the time but I remember first impressions weren't great amongst everyone back then. This seems to be slightly more popular but for me I thought it was a joke when I first saw it, but the more times you look, with better images, it grows on you a bit. Be good to see it in person to judge it properly

[Jimmymaccer]

A friend worked for cloverbrook who manufactured the material back in 1992……..before that Ribero shirt came out he said wait till you see it……….it’s plum not Claret………..and he was right.

[Claret Till I Die]

I like it. Can't wait for the 3rd kit as well

[scouseclaret]

Hideous if it’s real. Looks like a kid designed it on Minecraft.

I hope your mate enjoyed working there more than me. Got two weeks work at Cloverbook one Summer. First morning I was greeted by a supervisor who was immediately asked if he knew there had been another accident. He said he did know, it was on the front page of that days Burnley Express. "Oh no, not that one boss' suchandsuch got covered in caustic soda last night"

Place was a living hell in my very brief experience. I broke my thumb whilst trying to complete an almost impossible job on the third day which meant I wasn't obligated to do another 7. I've rarely felt so relieved.

Looks like it's being worn by a Yeti

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Looks like a kids been left with potatoes and paint whilst mums done the shopping.

Looking forward to seeing the back of umbro shirts, we’ve had some shocking designs these last few years.

[what_no_pies]

If the away one is the same as Bourbemouths home but yellow and black that could be a cracker.

[UpTheClaretsFCBK]

I'm worried about the number of full grown men on this board that have played Minecraft enough to link it this kit.

literally had to ask my girlfriend “what is Minecraft, some kind of design app?”

I think your men that are concerned about how the teams dresses to play football are generally your Minecraft playing type

Takes me back to my days in retail when a young lad and his mum came in and asked for COD which I now know is short for a well known computer game, he was not impressed with my response of “The fresh fish counter is now closed but we do pre packed fish at the bottom of the produce aisle”

They must have thought you were taking the ****.

[Eli&Conroy]

Talking of fish, this could be a complete red herring. Its the womens team kit.

[Top Claret]

Not impressed by the new strip it looks cheap tat

[CharlieinNewMexico]

I reckon that’s the kit just with a different sponsor

[nyclaret]

This was posted on Instagram - maybe it is the women’s shirt sponsor? Don’t they have a deal with TikTok?

I think you could be correct

[ClaretinJapan]

Underwhelmed. Good to see the betting people are off the shirt. I was thinking of buying the next one without a betting company on, but unless a local disco opens, will wait.

I reckon you'll be right.

I know classic football shirts are a popular trend but I doubt they have the wedge to throw at a championship sponsorship, so womens kit sponsor would make sense tbh.

Given the drop off in valuation I doubt The Hut group are likely either now, sadly.

We may well still end up with a betting sponsor for the mens kit.

THG are still a £1bn market cap company (well, not quite actually). £2.7bn t/o this year. They were going to sponsor United’s training kit for £20m I think, but pulled out over the Super League scandal. I reckon they could squeeze a million out for sponsorship, particularly in the Championship? I assume Championship clubs don’t get any more than that?

The point about the away kit being a different sponsor is interesting. That would be rare, so maybe Classic are sponsoring the womens kits as you’d imagine that’s more in their sponsorship bracket? Plus the TikTok launch ties in…

[IanMcL]

That pic looks like a WHU blue with a BFC badge stuck on. Not our sky blue at all.

[forzagranata]

There is something fitting about the club being sponsored by a firm which makes its money from selling off Premier League products at a bargain price....

[Hipper]

Highly sophisticated camouflage I suspect. Defenders won’t notice McNeil lurking on the wing if he’s wearing that. A sort of dazzle ships for football.

This could work.

I got my mother to knit me the 'Tirpitz Scarf', a design based on the WW2 German battleship Tirpitz in Norway. It works!. When I wear it no-one has ever come up to me and said I look like the German battleship Tirpitz.

Must admit, it's occurred to me that kit looks like you're trying to play Tetris on a phone with a busted screen, and now I can't unsee it

[ArmchairDetective]

I asked someone down at the club today if they know when the new kit is announced. They said it was leaked yesterday. Confirmed that it's real.

Only word of mouth, mind. But they did work for the club.

[ClaretTony]

Hideous if it’s real. Looks like a kid designed it on Minecraft.

It's real I believe

[The Enclosure]

I think its looks awful.

[bobinho]

Gutted. If it IS real, I’ll be going nowhere near the club shop.

Absolutely minging. We’ve had some shockers in the past, we’ve had some that were groundbreaking, and we’ve had some that were quite boring, but I don’t remember one as bad as this.

[ArmchairDetective]

I think its looks awful.

Have to say I'm undecided, fine line between quirky and awful.

Got a feeling it might look better when being worn full kit on the official release.

[AwayClaret]

Couldn't give a shiny shite what it looks like as long as the players wearing it do the business.

[Rileybobs]

We haven’t even seen the new kit play yet. Let’s give it a chance before getting on it’s back eh?

[ClaretInLeeds]

I think it looks smart.

Makes you laugh how up in arms some get

You’re only ever going to wear it whilst surrounded by thousands of others wearing it so I wouldn’t worry too much

Someone describing some of our previous kits as "groundbreaking"

[Wembley09]

It looks like something you would expect Scunthorpe to be wearing in the Conference this season.. Cheap and tacky.

The sponsor, the yucky broken tetris design.
Even the Blue colour looks more like Scunthorpe.

Thankfully we only wear kits for one season these days, only 12 months to go..

[RVclaret]

Chris Boden did a poll on twitter for the kit, who’s in favour and not, 1000 votes now in and 71% in favour

One would imagine that the kit is more popular amongst the younger fans and that the proportion of our fans who use Twitter are in that category.

Even Hope Solo (Google if you don’t know) couldnt make this shirt look good.

Yes a poll on here might be the Other way round given the much older demographic
