As long as it doesn't end up looking like that ugly ass Waikato jersey we had a few years back

Are Huawei the front of shirt sponsor again this season? The prominence of the Sky Sports logo in this shirt makes me wonder if they are taking over

Last season's training kits alluded to the smaller thin stripes on our home kit. Noticed this swirling pattern on Bally's shoulder, wonder if our home kit will have something similar on them. Would be pretty out there but I'd vibe it

Seems like we might be having a black kit

I would be surprised if we did, considering the heat etc

I'm guessing a half-half kit. They've given us nothing from that left side.

the new black Team Welly kit has these swirls on the shoulders, and looks mint - wonder if we might see a similar sort of pattern

Sorry, it doesn't do anything for me. Reminds me of a rejected CCM kit.

I just can't not see a cars racing stripes.  Now matter how hard I try that's all I see.

My biggest problem is that it's very, very, plain. Two stripes... The end. They had a good opportunity to do some cool stuff with that pattern in the stripes. Fill in the side panels with the black pattern for instance. Maybe it will look better in full.

Go-faster stripes? I can dig it.

Also the topography of Mt Vic is an epic touch.

Personally think the stripes are too long. Not a huge fan but if it had a sponsor logo over half to break up the stripes then maybe a bit better

If they had the normal sized stripes but with that cool topographical pattern on it it would look pretty cool. Even if they used it again on the collar and/or sleeve trim, without it just looks unfinished. I think if they away kit is the inverse, with a black body and yellow stripes that would be a lot better. But as a home kit, pretty sharkhouse considering we waiting so long for that

I think a yellow shirt with the black topography over the top of it would have looked quite nice - Front and back. A bit like when they did that shirt with players names all over it.
