Next seasons kit

[Vegas Claret]

it looks a bit better in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It3wdygcCyo but I still think it's bang average

[ClaretTony]

Would it not have been Saturday 1st CT?

No - was always the first Saturday after the first Thursday in July, so earliest it could be was Saturday 3rd and latest Saturday 9th July. Don't ask why it was done like that.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Prefer that

I prefer this

More traditional, which I prefer.

It’s just a shame that the collar appears to be so large.

A smaller collar and smaller sponsor logo it’d have been fine.

[whiffa]

I actually don't mind the new kit, however I'm not a fan of the gold sponsor - like others have said a different colour for that would have helped. The gold is far to reminiscent or Aston Villa for me. It's specifically that gold colour that makes me find that connection too I think.

[Rileybobs]

The kit is ok, doesn’t offend me. I’m not a big fan of having a gambling firm on the shirt but unlike others I don’t actually mind the logo and think the gold goes contrasts well with the claret. As for shorts and socks, we rotate the colours of these regularly so it’s not a surprise that they’re not white.

The big shame for me is the awful-looking sponsor on the kids kit which is what I will have to look at on a daily basis for the majority of the next year. Hopefully this has just been mocked up and they can look to reduce the size at least.

[Colburn_Claret]

I like it, just pleased they've stuck with the traditional badge, and not succumbed to their new logo.

Honestly, when I first saw last seasons kit, I hated it, thought it was someone's joke. It grew to be one of my favourites. Nothing to do with results, it just looked so much better in reality.

[Carwin261]

Each to their own,but if that’s the best we can do I think we should be looking for a new designer,last year’s strip was much nicer.

JJ Watt is already on social media showing off his kids’ new shirts - the DP logos are not reduced in the slightest (proportionally)

[dermotdermot]

I, like most people, don’t like the collar one bit. Is it too late to redesign?

Looking at the shirts JJ is holding up, I think the shirt has more in common with with the second Mitre kit (minus the yellow trim) than the 93/94 shirt.

[TheFamilyCat]

Tradition doesn’t mean old, it means established/habitual. There’s no real tradition of us wearing blue and white stripes. However white shorts are traditional, as are white socks.

Maybe it's time to change our nickname to The White Shorts

[bobinho]

Each to their own but it knocks last years into a cocked hat.

Blue shorts and claret socks you can keep…

White shorts, hooped socks. Marvellous.

[Wokingclaret]

I actually liked the blue powder on the shoulder

[timshorts]

Lookin forward to Plymouth v West Bromwich.

[bobinho]

It'll be white in the CFS...

[jetblackcat]

I quite like the shirt. Blue shorts never look good. White shorts are more traditional.

[ClaretinJapan]

It's alright, quite traditional, then you look at that abomination of a sponsor and it blows.

Surely it's possible to come to some agreement that it can be bought by fans without the sponsor? I for one, and I'm sure many others would buy it if the sponsor was off.

......................ALL IS DROSS!!.....................

[Roosterbooster]

My wife is delighted that the kids won't be wearing white shorts or socks

[clarethomer]

Need to see it in person.

Said previously that the shirt won’t please everyone.

I’m not a massive fan of it and won’t be buying one this year having bought last years (1st shirt I have bought in a decade).

Maybe the away/third kit will be better.

For those who like a more traditional shirt, I can see this being liked.

[Rick_Muller]

My initial response was "meh". After almost 24 hours after seeing more details I think it's a shirt that will become a "classic". Not sure if I'll get one (apparently 50+ supporters shouldn't wear team shirts) but I may do depending on how it looks in the flesh

[Foshiznik]

Personally, i like it. I liked last season's kit too. It's clean, traditional and classic. The sponsor is probably the main gripe for most.

Only other complaint i would have was not having white shorts. I do like having claret socks though as i'd prefer claret or blue socks over the more traditional white. Never beat the 2009-10 hooped socks mind!

[CnBtruntru]

And deposit some sort of blue dust on your head when you put it on judging by the video!

That's fairy dust, gives us loads of good luck this coming season, you just watch us beat City with a Wout hat-trick

LOL that's exactly what the kids told me when I said I may get one if it looks better in the flesh

[thehistorylecturer62]

Well I like it - a combination as worn in a couple of 66/7 Fairs Cup ties and some late sixties away games . I didn’t like last season’s kit one bit or the Ribero original for that matter. At the end of the day we all have different tastes and it will be consigned to the bargain rack next summer .

Respect your opinion Rick but theres no chance it will become a classic,most boring design of a shirt i have ever seen, horrible big bland man city blue collar, Embarrasingly bad now ive had 24 hours to digest it (in my opinion).

Man City blue collar ? as opposed to the Aston Villa blue and claret that we’ve been copying almost every season since … oh yes 1910 ?

Just had to log in to like that. Made me chuckle. Does make me wonder if people do actually know that. I'm
sure many do but just occasionally I do think twice..

My tuppeny bits worth is that 'I like it'. I don't love it, but I do like it. However, my kids love the dudeperfect little people kit. Thats enough for me.

[Longsider]

Maybe it's time to change our nickname to The White Shorts

[RammyClaret61]

The women's team will be glad of the blue shorts for sure. Are white shorts more important than comfort? Not for me

If that’s a reason, then the blue won’t make a difference. They’d probably prefer Claret shorts.

[gwills18]

Will the club print on the back of the shirts if they are ordered direct from Umbro?

[CoolClaret]

Take the sponsor off and it’s actually decent tbh.

Would be a corker if we had white shorts and hopped socks but beggars can’t be choosers…

Seems to have gone down well outside of Burnley fans as well - neutrals are liking it

Think you hit the nail on the head there. They've gone retro with the shirt and should have done the same with the shorts (white) and socks (hooped)

[thehistorylecturer62]

Claret shorts and Sky socks as worn at Wembley would have been good

Thanks for the history lesson.

This kit is supposedly modelled on the 94 Burnley kit from Wembley. They just got the blue colour totally wrong if that’s the case. Takes a one minute google search to find that shirt and the colour it is.

Maybe we took the colours from Villa back in the day so what , no excuse to then make a really bad job of something so simple in the present day.

I honestly can’t remember the last decent looking home shirt quite frustrating really.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

If you think this colour matches the present one you need to go to specsavers:



That to me is what we should be changing the blue colour back to, too many ex Man City hankering after their team of cheats

I never said it matched the 93/5 kit .. the point being any shade of blue we might or might not have harks back to Villa not City . Last year people’s were whinging about our City style away kit as though we’d never played in Sky blue before . Our first kit was Sky blue and white .

Choose the right colour next time

[thehistorylecturer62]

Different manufacturer thirty years apart different shades of colour …

That’s why you employ a professional designer not the tea boy on his lunch break

Who designed last season’s Jackson Pollock or Timothy Leary ?

My all time favourite shirt! (Just saying)

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

I know a few numbers if you need them

I think the designer was Martha in year 2

[HahaYeah]

Colours have a hex number, for instance sky blue is #87CEEB. The colour of blue on the 93-5 kit is clearly darker and looks much better than the usual sky blues imo.

I would prefer if we had that colour permanently and it might set us apart a bit from West Ham and Villa.

Proper geek post this.

That’s my point just really lazy designing

Seems no one cares if the colours or the badge are totally wrong these days! Not keeping the traditions alive.

I reckon we should go with #2488dd

[HahaYeah]

Yes, so do I.

It's much more vibrant than the regular sky blue.

For reference the two kits at 93-96 at the link. (superjohnnyfrancis posted above)

Certainly better than sky blue
