[Albion] The new kit

[matski_98]

Its all a bit meh IMHO, indistinguishable from many of our recent kits. Just another template Nike kit with a bit of yellow thrown in

However I thought it was a nice touch to show the kit off in the final home game of the season without any fan fare or build up.

Nice from the front, like the v neck collar, but yet again the back is just awful.

 

[brighton_tom]

Love it. Best we’ve had in a while

Nice from the front.
The back is too Ipswich for my liking.

 

[Change at Barnham]

Love that we are back in stripes, even though the stripes should continue on the back as well.

100% winning record as well, whats there to hate!!!!

It's a Premier League rule that you have to have the number on the back of the shirt over a solid area.

Until we get Adidas we’re screwed basically. Nike always manage to balls something up - cant they tell the blind Sri Lankan orphans who stitch this stuff to use some artistic licence ffs! At least Adidas water their orphans every couple of hours (every little helps).

 

[Mellotron]

Any pictures of the back? Barely seen it.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

From the back I it looks like a waistcoat over an untucked stripy shirt. Horrible.

Obviously designed to attract the England manager

Reminds me of an old withdean kit mixed with the kit of two seasons ago, really rate it, will definitely buy

It gets a sevennnn on the JCFG kit rating metric [emoji106]

Definitely the best of the Nike kits we've had. If we are going to build a brand identity with the global Premier League audience we need to stick with the stripes and stop buggering about...

Doesn't Newcastle's shirt have stripes on the back, with no solid panel for numbers and names

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

I really like this kit.
I'm happy we are back in stripes and I like the solid blue panel on the back rather than the white panel we had before.
The blue panel makes it easier to see the player numbers during the match but also doesn't look as bad if fans are wearing them without any printing on the back.
The yellow down the sides is a nice touch.
I would prefer a round collar but as modern collars go this one is ok.
But the main thing is we are back in blue and white stripes and it looked fantastic.

Exactly! - we should have copied this idea

So happy to be back in stripes.

Wonder what a kit would like with stripes on the front, and solid blue on the back. Maybe wouldn't work, but what we have now feels like it's struggling to be both.

 

[blue-shifted]

I quite like it when we have no stripes on the back at all.

Can't make up my mind if I prefer blue or white though. I think White

I've always though it would look good if the stripes faded from front to back (so strong stripes near the sponsor, weaker at the sides and you can't see them when you get to the back

I mean, it's basically the kit we had in our 1st season in the Prem but without the all blue sleeves. It's "fine", but I preferred this year's kit. All about individual taste though

They should make to whole of the back solid then, bit like Watford did a couple of seasons ago:

 

[dadams2k11]

The Stripes are back. Nuff zed.

 

[Bry Nylon]

Nice from the front.
There has to be a better way of putting numbers on a striped shirt.

I don't see a lot wrong with how it was done in the past.

I suppose the 'game changer' was the need to accommodate player names (another pointless affectation from US sports).
