Why do we have to cater for people with colour blindness and all this crap? If you support the club, you know who the players are from appearance not from the number of the shirt. Our shirt is red and white stripes front and back, that's what it should be. The white panel looks dreadful for those who casually buy shirts and don't pay the extra for the letters and numbers. I appreciate the club's hands were tied. So it's the regulation I'm moaning about rather than the club themselves. Sorry where did colour blindness come into it The tweet posted by Banksy above states the rule change is to help people who are colour blind distinguish name and numbers clearer. |

I appreciate the club's hands were tied. So it's the regulation I'm moaning about rather than the club themselves. Making football accessible for all is vitally important, denouncing this move from the EFL makes absolutely no sense, fans of our team might know every player but others may not. What if a commentator is colour blind, should they be excluded from a career due to ‘heritage’. The way to fix this would be a ‘match shirt’ and a ‘fan shirt’ so that the fans have a choice between full stripe and solid back panel. That way those that want to have the same shirt as the players potentially with a number etc on can, and those who are unhappy with the solid back can have their heritage option. This is a great change from the EFL that helps with inclusivity and access to football for all. We ‘have’ to cater for this because it is the right thing to do. Plain and simple. |

A plain white or red back of all of the shirt would be classier imo
I believe we were relegated at the end of the season when we had this design

That back panel will be a killer for sales. Ludicrous idea. The numbers just need a white border round them to make them clear as possible. Does it even matter if numbers can't be seen all the time? If you can't see the players, you won't see the ball, so there's no point watching football. What next, a big white panel on the front as well? If it’s a rule how come Sheffield Wednesday’s strip next season is stripes front and back? |

Shirts from Macron have been decent except for the panel aspect. The panel seems even more pronounced with the narrow stripes compared to previous ones: amp.footyheadlines.com/2330205363353578123/ |

Being contradictory I’m not a fan of these thinner stripes yet one of my favourite kits is the 80s pin stripes. That back panel will be a killer for sales. Ludicrous idea. The numbers just need a white border round them to make them clear as possible. Does it even matter if numbers can't be seen all the time? If you can't see the players, you won't see the ball, so there's no point watching football. What next, a big white panel on the front as well? If it’s a rule how come Sheffield Wednesday’s strip next season is stripes front and back? Seen the same question posed and no one has an answer. I’m a miserable cynic and think we’ve done it so that may see more people go for a name and number on the back. I can’t believe there’s no option to have the numbers in black with a big enough white border around to make them stand out against stripes? |

Quick word about the shorts. They don't look like they belong to the same kit. Apart from the colours they just seem wrong. A continuation of the sleeve, collar and sock trim should have been the choice. Very strange (and poor) decision in my opinion

But I suppose as it was showcased during a good season and our Wembley appearances it kind of became a grower on me & I ended up quite liking it. The full red back was certainly different but again it grew on me & when look back at footage from that era the full back block of colour certainly looks better than the half & half effort we've currently had pushed our way. |

Can we not be really subversive and have the tiniest panel around the numbers? I think we did that with a little red rectangle in the 90s.

Surely it can't be hard for the general sale shirts to have full stripes in just the same way kiddies shirts don't have the logos showing. Just laziness in my opinion. Then again nothing this club does on a PR level surprises me.

The only Red triangle 🔺 I can recall around that time , were the halcyon days of channel 4s red warning triangle 🔺 for late night 18+ cult films Rather bizarrely , the scheme was scrapped due to its popularity which helped boost viewing figures 🤪 |

Just have stripes with a white circle around Red numbers,or a red circle around White numbers,or black numbers if that is the rule.

The jacket looks OK if you like that style and will probably only be complained about by contrarians as it’s pretty inoffensive. |

Agree , on both counts channel 4 and choosing your targets to which to make your stand Personally I don’t tend to buy footie shirts .. ( don’t wear colours to the match ) so buying wise not an issue for me .. However , as a non buyer I see the importance of increasing / maximising all our revenue streams for FFP reasons .. if it genuinely puts people off that would otherwise buy then that’s a concern ( revenue wise ) Tho even if that’s the case I presume some would still divert their spend to other merchandise buys ( away shirt , t shirts etc ) |

amp.footyheadlines.com/5934280343211956447/Interesting little article here that may put to bed the idea of having a plain/solid coloured back of the shirt like we've had before. This ruling as strange as it appears, was from a few years ago but may still be in force & albeit refers specifically to uefa competitions, perhaps this ruling has been made football wide now?

This ruling as strange as it appears, was from a few years ago but may still be in force & albeit refers specifically to uefa competitions, perhaps this ruling has been made football wide now? People watched football up to the early 2000s on 20 inch terrestrial screens, often with static, without demanding huge number panels on shirts. If it's so badly needed for TV, they should put a graphic with the name and number above each player as they run around. But the fact is, number panels aren't needed. |

As for ours.
Front looks great.
Back….uuummmmm….I’ll come back you on that one. Understand though that we are best off following the relevant guidance even if it’s not mandatory.
I may be unusual but I’ve never really cared about the back, it’s the front that matters to me. That’s the visual image of the club. This one does that very well.

Apologies if it's already been pointed out but does anybody have any clue when the away will be released? Me and my two boys normally opt for the away shirt but havnt seen when it will be released.

A continuation of the sleeve, collar and sock trim should have been the choice. Very strange (and poor) decision in my opinion Thought the same. Look like a pair of shorts from a completely different kit. Don’t like to jump on the bandwagon and bash the club, but it’s a very poor effort all round tbh this time. Let’s hope the away kit is a banger (and pray to god it’s not got any stripes on it) |

Doubt many adults will be buying match shirts from now on if they’re going to go with the white panel every season.
