The mosaic swirls are currently being added to the Holte steps. Trying to add a photo but it’s having a funny turn

Long sleeves you say?!

I wasn't going to buy a shirt, but that would change my mind.

Our shirt always looks better with long sleeves. It’s how a claret body with sky blue sleeves was meant to look.

In the 80/81 Championship year the players with the long sleeves always look the best!

I think the Premier League are committed to no gambling advertising from the start of next season so this is their last campaign, unless we get relegated...

The long sleeve version doesn't have the gold swirls on the cuffs.

sweet jesus, longsleeves are back! I always opted for the longsleeve version when available, I'm thrilled.
Long sleeves surely aren't required anymore now we have global boiling . Wild fires etc.
I did always prefer a long sleeve as a kid , felt like better value for money .

I love a long-sleeved shirt, the last home shirt I bought (before last season) was the 2002-03 Rover kit.

BUT I have some initial doubts about this one.
- The inside half of the sleeve appears to be claret, rather than being light blue all the way around.
- I don't think the white stripes work as well as on the normal version, especially leading down to the thick all-claret cuff.
- The break for the sleeve sponsor is unavoidable, but there then appears to be a visible seam as if the rest of the sleeve was stuck on.

In fairness, the gold detail on the body looks good. I just think a long-sleeved version of last year's shirt with claret stripes and and all-blue sleeve would have worked better. Hopefully, I'll be more impressed when it's unveiled tomorrow.

I think it's shit. Would have been OK without the sleeve cuffs.

3/10.

Agreed

Last long sleeve I bought was 07-08 5-1 shirt. A thing of beauty. This new one just feels a lazy retread of last years.
