Unfortunately Premier League rules regarding number legibility forbid stripes on the back, so the plain back is here to stay.

100% wrong.
No rule like that whatsoever.

One thing the Premier League has allowed from next season is sleeve sponsors. Can almost guarantee most clubs will have them.

No!!!! I hated the shirt we had the last time we played in the top division. Lets stick to our blue and white stripes that stand us out from the rest!

Agreed. We went from climbing through the divisions wearing our classic stripes to playing in The 1st Division wearing solid blue with pin stripes & I didn't like it at all.

Doh! Stupid Flanders.

Sorry, I got duped by the internet again. Took my duff info from the following statement found at footyheadlines.com

"As the Premier League are looking to introduce a rule to enforce squad number visibility to complement UEFA’s rules for clubs playing in European competition, we have incorporated a white panel on the reverse of the shirt." - Stoke City statement

So just to clarify and sorry if this makes me sound a bit thick but are we due a new shirt design for the 17/18 campaign or will it just be this seasons shirt with Premier League badges on it?

Probably more like stoke trying to palm off using an off the peg design shirt rather than a custom made one. UEFA have had a rule like this, it's not been consistent, and it's never been implemented in the U.K.. Southampton did once produce both a striped back and plain white back kit one year when they had European games. Other teams just put a solid patch on their shirts when the need has raised. The manufacturers like Nike hedge their bets when they design their tramwear kits ( like ours) and use solid backs so as whatever teams use them comply with whatever local rules apply in whatever country they play.

From what I can see Nike are the least imaginative, creative or exciting of the major kit suppliers. Puma, Adidas, Kappa, Bukta and even little ol Errea all produce more individualised products tailored to the specification of the the clubs concerned as opposed to the uni-kit approach of Nike. Im not holding my breath that any of our kit next year will be something to covet.

I am not sure how the kit deal is set up. Have we any chance of getting a kit that is not some hideous template next season?
