Kit supplier and sponsor from 21/22

It's better than the one we played in, against Fylde.

Nice kit. If it's not 50 quid I will get 1 or 2. Odd to get Armstrong to model it if he will leave before he actually wears it....

Think you may be disappointed there. It's guaranteed to be £50.

Just checked & the 21/22 Forest Home kit (also Macron) is £50 on their club shop website, so I can't see ours being any different.

I thought him, Nyambe and Dack were an odd trio to put forward.

Probably going, possibly going (but very likely next year if not this) and injured for the first half of the coming season.

Gorgeous. Different, some people won’t like, but very impressed. Can’t wait to see this in black and red 👀

Agreed, definitely buying and haven't said that in a few years

I don't get why anyone would care about reversed halves on the back 🤷 The correct blue colour, simple kit, will definitely be getting one 

I care…😉

[Herbie6590]

Interesting opinions on here. FWIW my take is that it is a lovely shirt & if I was on holiday in Zurich & saw it in a local sports shop, I’d probably buy it, in the same way I once bought a blue & white halved Nike FC Porto shirt.

I confidently predict it will be an outrageous commercial success, especially amongst younger fans but….

As some have already said, dispense with history & tradition at your peril. It looks more like a Grasshoppers shirt than a Rovers shirt. 
 

If I ever run the club this will never happen again*…😉

 

*except for the away kit…have some fun with that by all means…

It’s a fairly inoffensive kit. I don’t like disregarding tradition like this and some recent kits have done nor do I like the collar. But it’s no longer vile like that one we had where the logo looked like the top profile of a toilet That said I don’t like the lighter blue ones so the colour looks about right could still go darker for me (will reserve full judgment until see it in the flesh).

In terms of commercial success would I buy one. No not at any price as a bloke in his late 30s. So I’m not their target demographic.

to be fair, its proper halves though. Reversed means we should technically call it Blue and White Quarters and Not Blue and White Halves 

Traditionally the Rovers have worn blue and white quarters. The "reversed halves" on the back make the whole shirt quarters.

This will be only the second season where we have worn blue and white halves. It's not a traditional shirt. I hope this isn't the thin end of the wedge for permanently changing our design beyond recognition.

No doubt Jim and many others will like it though. I don't.

I agree. Bristol rovers would be blue and white quarters. Blackburn rovers are blue and white halves reversed. Or at least we used to be.

The Home Shirt looks very good and is something I will look is the sizing of the shirt. Not very keen on slim fit shirts at all

[AspRover]

Does anyone know what Macron's pricing is like?

I want more red in the kit. My very first Rovers scarf was red white and blue. Red on the v collar for me.

Shouldn't be ANY red in a Rovers strip imo

I know what you mean but the first time I saw us play the numbers on the back of the shirts were red.

We all like the shirt we grew with the best I suppose. The one I like best had the contrasting blue and white where the red vee is on that one.

Too many 'reverses' of colour on that shirt. Looks like a Rovers-themed jester top.
