Any decent full size pictures of both kits? And are we not bothering with socks this season? Grealish's "shinpads" were bad enough.

The video is clearly aimed at a much, much younger audience but I couldn’t catch what it looked like and it was all a bit scruffy. My abiding memory is of the totally stunning black lady. Which made it OK.

I think I like the kits, but they are being presented in such a naff, Chavvy, way that it's hard to be sure.

Just get some players to wear a kit and take some photos of them. Is it really that difficult?

I wanted to straighten out the creases 😀

Yeah. I do find it ironic that the 'regular' replica kit (as distinct from the Elite version) is not what the models are wearing. Despite the try-hard urban/street tone of the photo shoots, they're wearing the more expensive/exclusive version of the shirt, which is being marketed as the players' version..........

Via the aforementioned Pravda. For anyone who's concerned the blue is too pale, I have been reassured by the Official Site's description of the shirt as "vista blue"...............


I like the overall design, but those shoulders and sleeves are terrible.  Looks like it's been stitched together in the dark.

Why do we call the website Pravda.  Yes I'm aware of the Russian news agency.  Is that it, is that the joke?

I believe it means 'truth'.

Both home and away look very, very cheap.

Whoever came up with the idea to launch these kits needs be fired. Crap and tacky. The kits themselves and the training gear looks good but they missed the mark by a long way in how they have been presented.

Yep. The kits look like they should be a tenner each at Sports Direct and have been presented as such. Pretty much what I expected from a brand like Kappa to be honest, nasty chav shite.

I agree TV - bloody awful marketing - all very amateurish  - we seem to constantly screw up our kit launch  - oh well let's hope the players wearing the kit show a bit more class on the pitch
Incidentally what was the "surprise at  the kit launch?
No further player announcements by Tom Hanks I guess:)
