The problem I have with concept kits is that every now and then you get a corker. And then it's... 'Now what? I can't buy it, so...?'

This is one of those times. It's much nicer than the one on sale imo. This is not pleasing.

So the club have confirmed that the sleeve sponsor is mandatory, and aside from taking away fans choice, I can't help but think this might be a ploy to make it clear who is wearing the fake shirts next season.

Or just something the sponsors now insist on? If your company is sponsoring a football kit which is 1% worn by players with the logo on, and 99% worn by fans without it, then that's a huge missed opportunity for them.

If it’s any consolation to those logo haters my American Express iron-on-thingy on my 2015 shirt peeled off before last season’s Fulham away game. If anyone wants it you’ll find it at the Coat and Badge pub in Putney, so there! :thumbsup:

The fact the game and therefore the shirt sponsor will be broadcast all over the world is the main reason. Can't personally see them getting a much ROI because fans are wearing it but I see your point.

For those thay want the actual measurements. I messaged the club shop as getting the wrong size is a bit of a ball ache to return from New Zealand

so can anyone confirm that if this another "slim fit" shirt, or will it actually be OK for "normal" sized people?
I've just got back from the club superstore and saw the new shirts in person. I'm pleased to say that they seem to have moved away from the super slim shirts of the past few away kits where you need to size up and they are defintely looser, bigger and more what you would expect. For example my son is 15 and he bought the adult medium shirt last season. With this new shirt he can fit in the youth XL !!!

wtf is with the awful "styled by" videos and pictures- just take some pics of players in the kit, and a couple of videos of them running around and kicking a ball in it . The fake lounging around in designer trousers and jacket while wearing a football top is cringe inducing and so obviously fake

Not sure of the overall purpose of it, in terms of what either party gains, but it was a collaboration with clothing brand Percival. They did the shoot and styling.

As an effort to get me to buy the shirt, it has probably failed, but FWIW I absolutely love everyone's look in the video.

From the looks of it the sleeve sponsor will fall off after a couple of washes so not an issue

The creative director of Percival is a massive Albion fan, so that probably played a role in the colab.

Front fine; back just a white blob of shite. Wt least bring the stripes up another 6", and put a stripe the full height of the shirt on each side of the name and number bit. At the end of the day, it's just a fcukin' expensive T-shirt.

Haters at around 11% at the moment.

That seems to be the best reaction to a new shirt in years as most seem to be marmite.

I’d suggest that this shirt won’t be hanging around in the Albion stores for too long……

Apparently mine is due tomorrow, if that’s correct it’s a massive improvement over recent years 😎
