Boooo it was Brentford 

 

maybe we are next next 

I'm generally not too much bothered about strips but it is weird how Rovers are always behind everyone else with new shirts, even in the halcyon days of the 90s. I'll stick with my Toffs 1975 replica.

That Brentford one is very good btw. The less the more.

These look pretty minging to me....but Ive never bought a training top so cant see many people being that fussed. 

Hoping the home or away kits are an improvement on last year!

They would have to really excel themselves to get any worse.

How difficult is it for Umbro to release a Blue n White shirt when their own team catalogue has one on the cover?

One of the marketing guys at Umbro is a Rovers fan, may have something to do. I'll ask the question

So why are we always last then?

Have to say I’m really liking the retro look Hull, West Ham and Hearts etc efforts from Umbro.

Getting excited, bloody love football shirts.

GET ON WITH IT

[JHRover]

Think the West Ham and Hull shirts are smart and a nod to shirts from the 80s or 90s. Will be interesting to see if we do similar. Doesn't stack up with rumours of dark blue though.

You first shirt always stays with you. Mine was the 1960 Cup final style, short sleeves and vee neck.

The frustrating thing is they sell a half and half red/black kit, which is what so many people want, but we won't get. Would be so easy.

If a bunch of us went out and bought this and applied Rovers badges to them and kept wearing them at away match after away match, season after season, then maybe they'd get the ****ing hint.

Umbro get the best of both world then. People buying that kit and possibly buying the offical away kit as well

No, no, no......That would defeat the purpose.  You buy the red/black halves & you keep wearing ONLY them at the away matches until they get the message.

If that’s not the away kit (assuming I won’t like whatever it ends up being), I’d just buy that. And the home version, frankly.

The other funny bit is that it’s £20. They could slap a Blackburn badge and a 10Bet logo on that and they’ve got themselves a £60 kit somehow.

Point taken, but as Joe points out below, they lose considerable markup.

Is it Umbro's markup or Rovers'?

[Herbie6590]

Each deal is different but the manufacturer usually pays a fee to licence the kit & takes the lion’s share of the mark up...I dare say Rovers negotiating power is somewhat lower than Man Utd’s !
