Knew it was a one word handle beginning with M (not Monty) but had to search and it's a poster called Marshall. Doesn't seem to post here the rest of the time.

Speaking of Kappa, almost every other club has revealed its kits for next season by now. Where's ours?
There was the little issue of which League knocking about I guess that delayed it?

Well hopefully they’re savvy enough to ride the current wave of euphoria amongst fans and get the kit launched and on sale sharpish. However...

Why would a kit design rely on what league we were in? The contract was negotiated for 3 seasons with Kappa last year so it's not like there was any manufacturer business to be done which relied on the result.

It didn't stop Bournemouth releasing their kit weeks ago either, in fact they've already played in the new one in their last few games. The league has nothing to do with it.

Looks like we're a bit behind the other PL teams (along with Brighton and Palace). Not even sneak "previews" out there.

https://www.footyheadlines.com/2019/10/2020-21-kit-overview-all-20-21-kit-leaks-info.html

Also Stoke have joined Celtic and possibly West Ham in offering the home kit without the sponsor's logo. This is something I'd pay a premium for if I was buying a shirt and indeed would make me much more likely to buy one for the first time in years. Thoughts? Maybe one for the FCG to raise as a suggestion?

Quite like West Ham’s. Home and away. Very classical.
Albions is flippin awful

Agree 100%. Liverpool, Brighton, Everton and Spurs home shirts are also awful. Think Chelsea home and Saints away are smart but the latter highlights an important rule. No matter how nice the shirt it will be ruined by Chinese script in the sponsor's logo (see also Newcastle).

Bournemouth/Brighton have not changed their shirt sponsor like we have

OK I stand corrected. I thought there was the issue of league sleeve badge.

Maybe Bournemouth's old shirt contract ran out in June

Like the away one. I could imagine that in pale blue with a claret sash.

For me Southampton are red and white stripes. Not the bar code type, but proper stripes.
Newcastle have gone to what I consider proper stripes and it looks so much better.

You may not like the new Inter kit then. Not 100% sure on the home one yet but like the other 2.

Also really like the new Dumbarton kit.

I think it was Benjamin Franklin who once wrote, “There are 3 certainties in life, death, taxes and Aston Villa to be the last team to release their new kit accompanied with the inevitable stock issues.”

We should launch our kits straight onto the discount rail, such is their persistent tardiness.
