Don't like them at all. The black is too much IMO...it clashes and just looks bad and I don't like the black and white crest either. The color of the away kit is decent but the design isn't. The combination of color and design makes it look like an 80's Russian gymnast kit (first thing I thought of after seeing it
)
Can't we just keep the black and red kit from this season or the white with the diagonal line......those are excellent.
The black and red kit is liable to be our third kit - that's what happened last year. Home shirt looks OK in my view - crest would maybe be better if the white was just sky blue (i.e. the black section is the only part stitched on). There is a precedent for the dark collar - 1989:
I've seen enough photos of that design (including worn by Kolorov) to believe it is legit. The best thing about recent kits (I'm thinking back to the first could of Umbro home shirts in particular) was the material and the fit - those features appear to be maintained. The shirt is pretty much just sky blue with not much by the way of artistic 'flourish' - that's fine by me.
I'll reserve judgement on the away kit until I see someone wearing it. You can see from the seams that it's another 'tailored' fit so it should look decent worn. The purple/gold contrast is nice.
the black and red kit is reduced to £15 so not sure it will be the third kit tbf, would be an odd move to reduce by that much if that were the third kit.
also did't like the blue shorts. we're not coventry.
these kits look nice. misgivings about the black collar and monochrome badge, but like the away kit.
