Depends what sponsor we get...

Sure, if the logo is tidy like Sony's it will look good. If it's a huge, ugly logo then not so much.

Not usually a fan of stripes as I think they are cliched but having seen today's pic the home one looks good. Not so sure about the away one.

I hope we do get a nice clean sponsor too. But when they do have sponsors, they will look awesome.

TV news tonight will have them, stripes is same at back with a black square.  Shoulders on white have more black than those images show and the back is all white.

How's my driving? - Whine here

You beat me to it.

We were trying to be responsible and not throw the ball at his head.

"It's stripey".

Geez, maybe I should have done it.

Best thing about the kit - the second O in SOLO is a football.

Agreed.

That big yellow looks bad.

If they were going to have a yellow stripe on it, at least make diagonal like some South American strips. . . .That I could live with.

The criticism of the black box is unwarranted.

Obviously it's where the players' numbers go and the fans should see it as an opportunity. You could get anything printed in there...

How about "Property of Air France"

I'm liking the away one, but both are very similar templates to the last Reebok HAL one.

Don't even have to wear the thing, just get it down to Champs and stick something on the back.

whoever does numbers should do the option of yellow stripes to eliminate the box.....

Got mine today, black box doesn't really bother me. But I might look at numbers at a later date.
