Nice one. There has been a fair alot of changes through the years. I personally loved the Premier League winning one cause it was genuinely a lovely top. Have any of yous any favourites? Why did we have a light blue/white one randonly from 90-92?

KAPPA!

...but I don't think they went down too well with the larger Rover.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

I never had a Kappa top but I think I would have enjoyed having one since I'm a fortunate member of the Moobless brigade.

[ni_rover]

indeed the kappa one was class. have we got a page of the away ones?

[Clitherover]

This seasons away is rank, so will prolly get this home shirt.

As said by someone earlier, it's beyond me why they can't just use red text for the sponsor instead of the ridiculous black box.

[ni_rover]

So many people have told me they hate the away one. Personally I think it nice. On the other hand, it should maybe have been a different colour, something rather than blue or white!

From 1882/91 we wore light blue and white halves, again in 1894/95 so you could say they are part of our heritage.

Ok

Ok

As long we get the Red letters back, then i will be glad :-)

HEAR HEAR!!!

Red lettering & numbers back please! Hated the black of last season (& i don`t mean the manager!! )

Careful now, Oliver Holt reads these forums.

The only nice thing about the new home kit is that is't half blue & White. The second thing is the red stripe on the bottom front. Do not like the colar or black Crow logo.

Why can't the club Crow logo be the same as on the away kit. That would look much nicer.

What do you think would happen if

or

would like to user there own colours on ManU or Liverpools kits.

Don't think these clubs would accept that.

[Mc Love]

Would look very strange Maverick if Kop had green bit on their jersey

They'd probably pay less. We could do with the extra £££.

Crown's big black rectangle is a huge improvement on that bloody 24, the sun's out, transfer rumours are spreading so cheer up, soft lads!

(Not to single you out Maverick, your moan just happens to be the one I've replied to)

[Mc Love]

I think i would take bet24 over the crown logo at present

[AspRover]

I know for a fact that we will have red letters next season - I ordered one of this seasons shirts for my girlfriend (a newly converted rover...) with her name on the back, only to be told that they had run out of the black letters because we're going back to red ones.

Got them to put the red ones on it in the end- looks much better!

[Ewood and I Would]

They should have stuck with having the crown lettering as dark coloured with no black box around it like in the original promo shot when Crown signed the deal...

[Iceman]

The new home shirt, is rank bad!

How anybody can say that shirt is nice is beyond me. If the Crown logo cant be sorted out, then its a real pity. Its funny how the fans are the ones who buy the shirt, but are not allowed to give their input. The shirt should be 'for the fans,by the fans'

[martmitch]

really like the new home shirt (the pic where its on a manakin)... bar that awful sponsor box, gotta be a better way to make it work

[ni_rover]

The online poll that was used for the half red, half black away shirt was a great idea. We had a choice of three designs and the most popular one was chosen, no questions asked.

I think the BET24 logo looked really good on the home shirt but now it just looks really plain. I wont be buying the home one again until its considerably different. I agree that the red lettering and numbers make a huge difference.

As for now, im happy with the away one.

[bob fleming]

You might have a bit of a wait there ni.

[ni_rover]

Bob, your right there mate.

The comments on kits are totally subjective, and certainly people are more likely to post if they don't like a design than if they do.

Reading the few pages after the new away kit was revealed, you would think that it was going to be an unmitigated distaster for BRFC and Umbro. In fact the opposite is true - they have sold shedloads of the new white shirt.

What's more, driving around the area, people are actually wearing them. More than any other recent kit (including the red and black number) this shirt is being worn by people as an everyday item of clothing rather than something to wear to Ewood on matchday.

It'll be the same with the new home shirt, plenty will buy them and this thread will sink without trace, before there's a race to be the first to moan about the 2010-11 shirts.

[ni_rover]

I agree totally with Tris. Even during my short stay in Blackburn, I was surprised by how many people were wearing the new away shirt the day before and after the game too. At the same time, I had alot of people moaning that they didnt like it. You cant please everyone. I think the new away top has been a success.

I think that those who complained about the white kit (like me) saw it as a terrible KIT option, BUT it is an EXCELLENT shirt in itself. It looks fab, but I wudn't see it as a kit.

[roversmum]

I prefer to see it being worn, then can usually make a decision. However, I hated last season's away shirt when I first saw it, also the grey/black one from a few seasons back but they are my favourites to wear. I really like the new away kit now I have got used to the idea of it being white, and I don't like dark kits simply because the lighter ones are easier to see on the pitch! Hopefully will grow to love the new home kit, but last season's was a refreshing change after all the extra bits on the previous one, and it looks really smart imho. Still won't refuse the new one if anyone offers to buy it for me!
