It seems to be the new badge for me again after being the old one earlier when Tom posted it had changed.

If the Betano announcement background is a clue to the new shirt, is it going to be stripes. Does anyone believe Heck would change the shirt design to make us different from West Ham/Burnley. It would be easier for his rebrand if our shirt was different to any other team.

Did we originally play in stripes? Could be an anniversary thing.

Chocolate & blue stripes. Just prior to The Great Laundry Mishap of 1888 that came out claret.

We're the boys in royal blue, shame there isn't a song about that

The team's first colours were described as "scarlet and royal blue stripes" (i.e. hoops - vertical stripes did not appear until the 1880s)

It’s been interesting to see just how much advertising Betano have been doing at the Euros. Been watching Copa America they have a huge presence there too.

Yep, increased profile by association for us. (though I really don't like it)
