Much better design than ours but Umbro will be paying pennies rather than pounds so it's irrelevant unless they headhunt Umbro's designers....or just take on some fans!!!
Lots of stripes going on in the trim put me off these but overall, yes, they are a bit. This is the problem with shirt design I guess. Clubs want to make a statement and retro is fine (like these 70s/80s throwbacks) but it doesn't stay in the memory for the new fans they want to attract. I don't like our new offerings but at least they are different and they'll probably look fine after a while like other terrible designs. Plenty of retro shirts to choose from for those who don't want them.All a tad boring.
Just, nothing special....Doesn’t look as bad as feared. It’s not great but I’ve seen a lot worse.

Haha, yes I see what you mean. That shirt looks like a throwback to one we've previously had in the 80s or 90s.
I'm pissed off that I won't be as pissed off as I thought I was going to be.Doesn’t look as bad as feared. It’s not great but I’ve seen a lot worse.

It's actually not bad that. Maybe that's because it was such a low bar from the previously leaked pics, but I don't mind it now. It's the right shade at least.
My sons favourite shirt is his 125 shirt, but he wouldn't buy another plain one this year and really likes the leaked away shirt and will be buying that, but he likes the home one too. These will sell just as well as any of the Umbro ones would.Shows how far we’ve sunk and how Nike and Puma have managed our expectations. We are now grateful for a mere blue shirt and white shorts, the absence of purple or black etc. Personally I think all three shirts are abysmal and I wouldn’t be seen dead in any of them. Puma pay the club a substantial fee - so that makes up for it but I honestly think Kits of the standard Umbro produced around 2010/11 would sell so much better than this template tat. I’m at the age where I rarely wear football shirts but I’d like us to have a home kit that reflects our history, respects our traditions and is something to be proud of. That home kit ticks none of the boxes for me.
I missed umbro :(
Navy shorts???
