Not for me, there's something about the sleeves that doesn't sit right.
I'll buy it anyway, and hope it grows on me. I'm surprised that most people sound positive about it.

I really like it, best shirt in a long while. Shame about the shorts/socks though.

Very nice kit. Looks neat and clean-cut. Similar vibes to the 2017/18 kit with the shirt pattern and blue shorts.

Thumbs up from me.

Best home kit in years. Amazing how much a clean sponsor like this helps as opposed to Chinese characters and that ridiculous giant poker chip we had at one point.

Fantastic kit. Kept nice and simple in the main as you would expect, but a lovely retro touch to the sleeves which is as daring as our kits have been for a long time. I also prefer white shorts and socks but think that in this instance the blue possibly works better.

I don’t like it. Last year’s was much better. And the logo on the front sounds extremely rude.

I think it’s a really nice kit overall!

They’ve been sitting on these for awhile. Vyds, Woody, and McNeil without his right arm tattooed all give it away. The folks saying the shirt had been done for awhile were right!
The kit will have been agreed and some delivered months ago. The sponsor was recent so I guess has been superimposed.

The sleeves remind me of this 1988 away kit.

No prices mentioned on the website article. In comparison to other Umbro clubs, ours have been much cheaper so a possible price increase could be on the way.

Best kit since 2009. Like an amalgamation of kits from 85-92. Hopefully we don’t play like that.
That's what I thought. Neat shirt, reminded me of the late 80's, early 90's in some ways but thought the exact same thing. Hope we don't play like that :lol:

Don't mind the blue shorts and socks.

Sleeves are horrific. Young lad likes them though, which is the main thing.

If it was being sold at M and S it would be on the “fitted”rather than “regular” rail, I will end up buying an xxl size !! I like it though.

By the time the Premier League badge and sponsor has gone on the sleeves you probably won’t see much of them anyway.

Really like this. Has a look of the 1980s POCO?? Shirt but with a modern twist with the sleeves.
I also like the badge on the back of the collar. Nice touch.
Might be the first shirt I end up buying after a few years of not bothering.

I'd heard that BFC in the circle was going on the back of one shirt. Maybe they have been using samples and it won't be on the actual home shirt.

A club tweet then being removed is becoming quite common.

Also surprised at the positive comments. I think it looks like a right dog’s breakfast. The sleeves are a wishy washy mess , don’t chime at all well with the claret.
The socks and shorts look like whites that have gone through the coloured wash cycle.
It’s a big thumbs down from me.

It still mentions a ‘bespoke back neck sign off’ on the club website (who writes this stuff?)

I’m in agreement with you chekhov. Arms look like they’ve been cut from a thirty year old bedspread. Too much going on down the left with the logo and crest making it out of balance. Awful.

The club bring out a home kit with a shirt that is claret, blue and white (the club's colours!) and people moan it is too different/jazzy/horrible. I will use my white shorts from last season at walking football training sessions with this shirt. I like it, clean looking but distinctive at the same time.

It’s the sort of shirt that Poundland would design - tacky sleeves, wrong colours for the shirt and shorts but at least the logo isn’t too large - even though it sounds like a crappy butter substitute.

Like it, thank goodness there are no Chinese symbols on it which I never liked and detracted from the badge etc IMHO. Sleeves ok and I'm sure they'll grow on me when I see it in real life.
I'll be buying one.

Agree with this. I do like it, but if I had one small moan it would be with the sleeves. Looks a bit…generic.

Having said that, I’ll still buy the top as I always do.

Overall I like it, the sponsor logo spread, like amy have said is not ideal for me, would have preferred plain but maybe it will appeal to the younger ones, just maybe. I like the shorts and socks, so overall a vast improvement from previous for quite awhile.

Does anyone know who has the final approval of the new kits every season, single person, committee? Whomever, well done.

Was always the chairman so, given they are approved a significant time ahead, it will probably have been given the final approval by Garlick.

Sorry not for me
I buy one every year to wear on the turf but I will be giving this one a miss. The sleeves look horrible 1980’s
It doesn’t have a wow factor

The sleeve colour of blue doesn't seem to match the badge.

Not into blue shorts either.

Verdict: not sure yet.
Damn - I didn't notice that initially, but now that I do, that drives me mad.

interesting how people are saying the sleeves are pretty retro 1980's - if you look at a lot of "pop" music these days it's very much that, add to that the whole tik-tok thing with the women's team I can see a pattern emerging

Could have been worse - I’m not overly enamoured with the sleeves, though I can see why they’ve tried something a little different and it does nod to the old Ribero shirt.

Why we’ve gone with blue shorts and socks, I don’t know.
The home shorts being white should be a given.

The home socks should be either white with claret and blue trim or ideally, claret and blue hoops, which I’d happily have every year. They’re not that common and it could be a bit of an easy identifier to the foreign fan if we were known to always wear hooped socks).

Not a Fan of blue shorts. It means there is more blue then claret. We are not the Blues, we are the clarets, and I prefer it when the percentage of claret is higher on the whole kit then any other colour. Ruins an OK kit for me. White shorts would have 100% been the way to go.
