It's a bit Brexity for my tastes. Hopefully we won't be wearing that very often.

Still I like two of the three kits and I only, really, care about the home one having claret shirt and blue sleeves so happy enough with the new manufacturers.
Brexity?  How is a map of Birmingham Brexity?

Not for me but it's the third kit, it's fine and a bit of thought's gone into it.

 ??? There'll be no deal on it after the season ends or there'll be queues of trucks trying to to deliver it such will be the demand??

I think it looks good.  At first I thought it was a nod to the one season where we had a piebaled shirt early 19 hundreds when opium must have been free flowing in the design office.  I notice now that that particular kit has been dropped from the historical kits web site.

Well done Kappa, three excellent kits.

I had my reservations when I heard it might be a cammo design, but never saw that coming  ;)

The kit is lovely. Great attention to detail and the colours really go well together. I love all three kits this season. As I said before if this is the kind of innovative stuff Kappa is going to come up sign them up again. I don’t need a ident-kit Puma or Nike design. And that Man U third kit is an abomination.

Brexity?  How is a map of Birmingham Brexity?

Was referring more to the camouflage effect.

You’re reading too much into it CD. The regional map is a nice and subtle touch.

Horrific, but third kits are there for a bit of experimentation aren't they.

May very well look nicer in the flesh and Kappa have done a better job this year overall.

I agree. I'm only guessing, but I reckon they were probably told that last season's shambles was not acceptable and to buck their ideas up sharpish.

Obviously I'm not part of the target audience for this, which is probably just as well because it looks like someone's been wearing it to lay concrete. Shocker

The third kit was the best last year, and probably the best one quality-wise.

Or at least it was from where I bought it out here in Japan.

When they are playing, just like the stripes on the home kit you were barely see the map design. I think it will look very sharp on TV and when we can finally see them live again.
