    In fairness the shoulders aren't grey, they just give that impression :) They're a heathered/marl design made up of black and yellow, so from a distance the effect of the blending is a lightening in the black, suggesting a greyness.

    I do myself also find it odd, but not because I dislike the shoulders; I think they're the best part. I just don't understand why, if you're going to do that with the main black areas of the top, you wouldn't repeat it for the main black of the shorts and socks too to establish a theme. As it is, the effect is a bit of a jumble, and the balance is thrown off by the fact of that shoulder-greyness-appearance.

    I hated it when I saw the leaked stuff but now I've seen it properly I really like it. I thought it looked cheap and tacky but now Im thinking it's really great. Maybe partly cos the rumours of our top young talents staying at the club are making me really excited. Don't break my heart Gino, out with the old in with the new!

    Shocked to say it but that's a brilliant kit. Will be a classic in a few years.

    If we released a version without the betting sponsor like West Ham and Celtic have done I'd be buying it.

    I reckon if the new shirt fails to precipitate forum member teen-style gun rampage it’s job done.

    Hornet on the back as well, like the 18/19 shirt.

    It is rather snazzy. A classic kit for Toffs to treasure.

    So, if you excuse me saying so, it is her that you feel that way about, not the shirt...

    Her in the shirt, yes. Separate the two, and one remains sexy to you...and I assume it’s not the shirt!

    So you're officially making a play for the title of this forum's 'Wife Guy'. Fairplay, looks like it's yours if you want it.

    It enhances her sexiness while wearing it.

    Now if we make the away kit white with red sunburst lines, we can tap into the massive Japanese market.
    The Rising Sun design and colours will fill them with nostalgia.
    We will be as Alphaville once sang 'Big in Japan'.

    True. The Chinese and Koreans hate the Japanese. Not surprising given how the Japanese treated them.
    Still, white with red would look good

    They got Holebas to design the shorts. Asda could have done it better.

    I'll reserve full judgement until I see it in a live game, but I quite like what I've seen of it so far.
