What does everyone want?

I know it’s not the most popular opinion on here, but I like collars…and I don’t mind stripes. Homages to either the “Robert Rosario” 91/92 kit or the “Eoin Jess” 96/97 effort would do fine for me. As for away/ 3rd kits, I don’t mind the current hot coral and would love for the green and black stripes to return in some form.

Its sky blue and white stripes, 40 years since the cup final win so a modern take on that apparently

Sounds ok to me!

So with sponsorship supposedly lined up already, a prime opportunity to get the shirts out early!

There couldn't possibly be a problem with that now could there!?!

We wore stripes in 2001 when we were relegated too. Frankly, since they brought in the rule with the back of the jersey, I’d never back to stripes.

The back panel of the shirt needs to plain, it’s ruined a lot designs and frankly, I’d be fuming if our colours were traditionally striped.

Ah, thanks. Our 98/99 kit was hampered by that too. This didn’t look good without a name/ number on the back.

Ffs the cup final kit is our worst kit of alltime other than the 16/17 monstrosity. What a shit way to mark our return to the top flight.

Plus we were relegated last time out from the PL in shitty stripes.

Rubbish!

On that note, I wonder if they will end up following through with the St Mirren anniversary friendly that was mooted - Or now they are a Prem side will they see themselves as above playing them

The plain back tends to be more used but it's not a rule, West Brom are one who use the full stripes

Correct me if I’m wrong, it’s a PL/UEFA specific rule to do with visibility.

Sunderland fans discussing it here:

Premier league rule. Back of striped shirts solid colour?

That can't be the proper design ffs. :lol:

Ah yeah could be, I'm thinking general EFL.

I'll get used to having to look at the Premier League again at some point!

Looking at Sunderland they sell the kit with stripes, but when playing in it they've got the ugly plain panel. No thanks to that

I generally hate stripes, think they're wank.

I wonder if we're doing from a marketing POV to distinguish us from Citeh.

That kit Rosario is wearing was my 2nd ever kit but my favourite in my 'kid' years.

Not a fan of stripes but…

I did like the Puma 2012/13 version for the 25th anniversary. Plus can use the golden elephant badge (we are champions* after all).

*Should be at least

Always liked the darker shade of Sky Blue and with black shorts. We wore this design in the early 70s.

I've heard this too, and have to say I'm not a fan. Wouldn't mind something closer to the actual FA Cup kit as a third kit, but wish we'd stop with striped home kits. The FA Cup wasn't even sky blue.

Yes, this one is good and has aged really well. Even better that it wasn't a home kit for the season.

Pay homage to the 1967 kit, it’s a no brainer.
