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.
