Ask @Madon ...?

...perhaps Britt Assombalonga will launch it ?

Yup I have also heard that it is Grey and Yellow.

It won't be a custom kit, it will be one of their off the shelve ones, currently Umbro have 2 templates that offer a combination of colours, so it could be a variation of the ones below:

Why Grey & Yellow tho not really Rovers Colours

It’s all about marketing. By using a fundamentally different colour palette it means that the club can offer a lot of other products in the new palette & hopefully increase sales. The argument runs that if you have the same colour scheme every season sales drop off, hence also mucking about with the shades of blue & position of the halves etc.

The jade green a few years ago was another example. 

Personally alternating with yellow/blue & red/black would be my preference & always royal blue for the home kit ?‍♂️

[Herbie6590]

What about these....? ?

 

The 50/50 one is obviously the boy but the Stadion one I’ve seen on a few foreign kits for next season...

[Herbie6590]

PSV are using Stadion...

[blackburn bhoy]

The stadion one would be a really nice template for the away shirt I reckon

Juventus went to halves because stripes weren't selling in the American market as it is to similar to an NFL referee kit.

A whole clubs history and tradition changed because a country who has no interest in football thinks it's to similar to another sports referee kit 

Can you imagine rovers ditching there blue and white halves ( or quarters ?) for say Brighton style stripes so it sells better in India 

It's just little things like this that keep chipping away at what makes the game our beautiful game, the pride we can take in our local teams etc. It really irks me things like this. How long before the soul of the game is completely destroyed.

Some clubs here have tried it. Cardiff ditching blue and turning red on the whim of their owner and his superstitions being the prime example. Eventually he had to back down and revert to blue. WBA and Southampton both went close to ditching their traditional stripes. WBA had a season wearing almost only white shirts with a small amount of blue and Southampton purely red home shirts but both were ditched.

'Fortunately' for us our owners don't give a stuff about our image or how many shirts we sell abroad so are incapable of making such a cut throat business decision. They're more likely to see us without shirts at all rather than a controversial new design to try and sell more.

I wouldn't be totally against yellow, as long as the home kit is darker blue. I actually really liked the yellow away kit with the crest all over the side. Possibly late 90s. Asics I think

Would be surprised if we use a Teamwear kit, even as an away shirt, because it would be so easy to fake.

Usually the designs stay the same, but the colours are unique to the specific teams, that said, the PSV shirt does seem to suggest I'm wrong.

10Bet.co.uk leaked the kit before Rovers did last year, albeit only by a few hours. That was 18th July last year.

With the club keeping Umbro and 10 Bet this season, the unveiling/release should be well before 18th July.

New fixtures are out on 20th June, which is almost the unofficial start of the next season, so would make sense to show off the new home kit around that time.

 

[Gumbi]

That PSV shirt is a one off shirt which will only be worn in the last game of the season. They did a similar thing last year and also used a teamwear design for that too. The only way I can see us having a teamwear shirt is if it's a third kit.

[Stuart]

Grey and yellow sounds like a really rubbish training kit.

It like we have to put up with a cycle of good, rubbish, mediocre, rubbish, mediocre... just so we appreciate the rare good ones.

[old darwen blue]

So the best we can do is pick from stock shirts?

That kind of thing but dark grey instead of the black, and also a yellow pattern like the Stadion Jersey? 

If they do it right it could look good - although the pattern down the side could go very wrong.

Give me the yellow kits of the 70's and 80's over anything there's been since.
