Does sponsor (AMEX) get to dictate which blue (which Pantone number, IIRC Pantone 307..) gets used?
Corporate goes nuts over consistency on things like that.

As a fan not old enough to have seen the widest range of shirts but this is my FAVOURITE shirt.

Not sure about the lighter blue on the arms. But doesn't look like an ironed on sponsor logo, trying to upload it now.

not bad, looks like the blue on the shoulders and back differs from that on the stripes at the front :/

This is the one that was 'leaked' a while ago on here I think.
The different shade of blue on sleeves / shoulder still ruin it for me.
Maybe the shorts and socks will rescue it...and FKWs will rejoice.

Vile, presumably Nike werent willing to offer us a better colour on the shoulders. It'd be good otherwise

So it is just the Nike Striped Segment III jersey template. Great....Why can't we get a manufacturer who can make a proper bespoke kit instead of one that everyone has? Also WTF is going on with the different shades of blue and the bizarre solid back again?
Nike truly are shit.

I think the shade of blue is the same on the arms, it's just that it's diluted and therefore appears lighter than the blue elsewhere to to fine white pinstripes.

Looks like 2 shirts sewn together ???

I agree, but I will buy the shirt as I haven't bought one for a few seasons and didn't last year due to the sponsorship sticker.

As a web dev I have had to put up with those aholes for years, and yes they are very concise.

Possibly aholes because their web developers use words like "concise" when in fact the mean "precise."

FYI, I just googled concise, you sorry little man: giving a lot of information clearly and in a few words; brief but comprehensive. I was not incorrect.
