The goalie shirt is absolutely mint. Having one of those.

It's quite literally plain black with the badges on.

Yea, that's what's good about it.

The home shirt would look better with a light blue trim on the collar and a claret trim on the sleeves - it looks unfinished at present....

The home shirt would look better if it was made by another company.

In almost every picture of this kit I've seen the shirt looks really creased and crumpled round the shoulders, particularly at the join of the sleeves to the body.  I know it sounds picky, but it just seems to be a really of odd fit.

The Tunisia Kappa shirts have the same slightly rucked join between shoulder and sleeve, so maybe a fashion thing. Search me why though.

Up close the kits looked quite decent. Still not as good as the Luke kits for quality or the Acorns Nike ones.

I recall someone saying they'd pay 20 quid extra for a no sponsor shirt.  Fill yer boots...

"Size and fit: No"
Had me laughing out loud. No indeed.
"Colour: Dark Red" is less amusing.

Home shirt arrived today. The claret's less reddish than previous years, and the blue is a whole lot lighter.
The sleeves are a bit weird – even on the players, the top goes a bit puffy at the top of the shoulder which just seems like a basic thing to get wrong in the cut.

Overall, not hideous. Don't think it'll become a cult classic though.

Maybe they're just shit at making sports garments.

This image of the third kit has appeared on Historical Kits:



It does state it's unconfirmed; any idea if there's any truth behind it?

Oh no, not an emoji! Sap.

So it was a hoax after all.

Oh that's nice. That's top notch. Well done Unbro, please make our kits after Kappa, please and thank you.

It is.

No surprise it's a hoax, but interesting they're prepared to pay for shirt sponsorship and not have their name on the shirts at all.  Guess they think the initial publicity was worth it.

Very nice shirt though.  Probably one of my favourites after ours.

I've just seen the Hearts 3rd kit on the Umbro Twitter feed.

You can get ours directly from Kappa without the sponsor, but it'll set you back about £100.
