Macron Palace kit, possible clue to our template if not the details of the design 

Seems like reversed halves on the back. Hopefully they will fix that for us as well.

We haven't had a proper nice kit since 1997. 

The uhlsport one was close but they put the badges in the middle for some unknown reason. 

Wasn't a huge fan of the kappa ones but they were ok. The crown paint ones were not too bad. Every one of the asics ones were absolutely magnificent. 

I wasn't joking when I said that the BRFCS ones were the best I've ever had. 

If we do have a sponsor then I really hope it isn't totally wicked wank. Anything else other than promoting the next public health crisis. 

[Mattyblue]

Were the kits themselves ‘magnificent’ or were they just by association due to a great team and memories?

[Upside Down]

Both.

The team was the best we've ever seen and the deaign of the kits was superb. Very very simple. 

[Mattyblue]

Of course I love the Asics shirts, but I reckon if we’d have had the Kappa kits in the 90s instead it would be them that’d now be seen as sacred.

[Upside Down]

Maybe by some. 

The asics ones were just so right though. A perfect example of less is more. Every single one was an absolute belter with the one exception of the orange away shirt.

The uhlsport ones would have been good had the badges not been in the middle, but that was a very 90s thing to do. 

For a lot of clubs they had some absolute howlers during that period, some of thoe shirts looked like a clown had just been sick all over them.

[Mattyblue]

Hmm, not sure I agree on the Uhlsport one, but then I suppose we did get relegated in it, so maybe that’s clouded me. Early/mid 90s Asics, great, but the later away shirts were a bit naff too - the luminous yellow one, that orange one.

Whereas I thought all the Kappa home shirts in particular were great. But it’s all a personal thing.

[Upside Down]

Nah the luminous yellow one was amazing. 

The years when we wore uhlsport were pretty shit so I can understand not having that much fondness for it.

The kappa away shirts were fantastic though.

Looks like the background pattern (from the Stanley game photo) will be the embedded pattern for the shirt next season. They’ve always used the shirts pattern last season and have only switched to this one for next seasons posts.

[laughatthedingles]

Any talented individual able to mock up the palace kit, white and red trim, blue and white obviously with the Rovers F.C. pattern on the front?

[rog of the rovers]

New Stoke City kit released today, should give us some clues. Expect these but with blue for the home shorts and even a Rovers 'Letterman/Varsity Jacket' on its way?

Don't get your hopes up. Rovers are already out of stock.

[Gordon Gekko]

The Stoke shirt looks pretty decent. Hope we also get a collar as well this season. 

[Cuppliance]

We are getting a new sponsor by the looks of things. Richard Sharpe has posted about it on twitter although it's not confirmed to be a new sponsor.

[laughatthedingles]

Just quoting the forum where it was said that the sponsor is close to being finalised. At no point was it stated it would be a new one. 

Based on rumoured information about the new home shirt @brfccody has mocked this up… 

thoughts everyone?

Bloody hell, I thought the Kappa shirts were a snug fit! Definitely not one for the dad bod that one! 😅

Shit.

Why are both sleeve white?

Not sure, likely one will be blue. As this year had a full ‘half’ design I’d expect a quartered this year too.

[JacknOry]

looks a bit tight to me

Away black & grey, third yellow. Apparently. Could be wrong though just heard from a pal

[Ghost7]

Hope that's true! Wanted a black away kit for years.

[Polky]

Something like this would be lovely! 😀

Loved the orange one and the luminous one, but I am prone to controversial viewpoints on our kit.

Also always liked blue shorts with the home kit, or white shorts, but all red socks.

I stand by it, you can tell me I’m wrong but I don’t care.

I’d buy a Rovers varsity jacket like that in an instant!

Black and grey would be great. Reminds me of the year of THAT Reidy thunderbolt.
