Last few years we have been falling over ourselves to get the retro shirts, fuelled by nostalgia. The club are trying to recreate this with our first team shirt by producing something similar to the Le Coq Sportif shirt. I reckon I am in the minority, but I like it. If it had a collar, I would really love it.
Agree. I think you are in the minority.
I think it looks cheap and nasty which is a supplier issue.
As for the design i'd say zero creativity. Pull out an old shirt and copy it. Badly.
Still hoping it's a wind up and the new shirt is still under wraps.

Appears to be a poor copy of the '97 shirt, in O'Neills unique style

If we get them in the Cup we might get a chance to see the candystripes this season.

If we win the league or cup then the kit will be fondly remembered for years to come.

Can't be that bad of a design if you bought it before.

It's a poor copy of an old shirt. A downgrade in appearance and quality.
Plus removing the white stripes is a serious an own goal.
Now we're just another team with a red jersey...

Just seen a fan's photoshop effort (on a facebook page) of how the 25yr anniversary jersey could look and its great.

A nod to the past and retaining our traditional red and white candystripes.
Hopefully there's still time (and those in change listen to the the fan opinion polls) to make some tweaks to the red jersey.
Think that horse has bolted. Reading the Manager's response to the leaking of the new strip and with him throwing his weight behind it I can't see it being changed.
