    Horrific bet that took ages to design, whoever signed that off needs to give their head a shake, I didn't like last seasons but at least there was some effort and individuality went in to it.
    This one is utter s***e tbh training gear look and red shorts again ffs

    I thought the red shorts were a different shade of red to the shirt... glad it's not just my eyes.

    Don't mind them other than that, although they do just look like training tops.

    I was involved in semi pro football as Secretary and General Manager and one of my jobs was sourcing kit manufacturers and design choice. What I learned over that time is no matter what design or colour you choose, some supporters will hate it and some will love it. It's very easy to pick fault and supporters who say I would have chosen different because your different would have the same result!

    Home shirt: After last season's abomination, I'm ok with this one. No problem with All Red either. However, I am assuming the shade of Red is the same for the shirt and the shorts. A different shade of Red would just make us look us look cheap. Like extras from Kes - but without meaning it. Hopefully it's just my eyes not focusing properly.

    Away Shirt: Excellent. Classy. Like it a lot.

    Third Shirt: I assumed it was the Goalkeepers shirt because they seem not to mind looking like a pratt. If it's to be worn by the outfield players I can only assume it was designed by Stevie Wonder in his lunch hour, when he'd had a few. Totally horrendous.

    Fully appreciate this BUT we have got this wrong on so many levels.
    The stars - apropos of nothing. Could potentially be an Isreal star. Why are we putting this on our shirts again?
    Abandoning the white shorts. Why? We play in red and white. This is the thing that grates more than anything. We are not f’ckin Liverpool. All red looks dull and all red polyester looks cheap.
    The actual cut and material. The photos show professional athletes modelling them. They look like they are hanging off them. The players actually look embarrassed. Heaven help when some 18 stone bloke with a beer belly puts one on.

    Round necks flatter no one. Even a small v neck looks better on most people.

    It matters not in terms of me buying a shirt - I rarely do these days. But messing with the historical club colours matters a huge amount to me.

    There's an explanation for the stars here. It seems it's a part of a past design they've picked up on and run with. They've now linked it to our record breaking away run from last season. I don't think it's fair to link it to Israel, it's not even the same colour, and obviously isn't what the club is trying to do. I also don't think it looks anything like a Liverpool kit. They use a lot of yellow for one. But the article does say they've taken fan feedback onboard from last season. So it sounds like they've tried to listen. As the poster you replied to above has said, you can't please everyone.

    I actually think the 'all red' looks smart. Not a fan of the other two kits though.
