I do like it... but I've been wearing my old, blue collar, 'Skint' shirt for the last 2 seasons and we've done quite well since wearing it... I shall contemplate purchasing one.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
So, do you like the new shirt

Quite.
Do some bespoke bits and pieces - yellow trim, pinstriped sleeves = "Waaaah waaah wahhh, busy, don't like it, why can't it be simple?"
Keep it simple = "Waaaah, waaah, waaah, shitty template kit out of a catalogue. Why won't they design us our own?"

No it looks like a patchwork quilt - 2 blue colours ? Also the stripes don't meet the collar and it should have stripes all over the back ! Not for me ...

Yep, like the fact it is more blue than white.
Hopfully shorts are blue and socks a colour other than white(yellow).

so the club seem to have nailed it then with between 75 and 80% of fans really liking the shirt and only 5% dont like it. Last years was more like 50/50
Yep - seems that way.
I'm one of the 5% that doesn't like it, for all it's needless fussiness and lack of cohesion. Still - it won't detract from my enjoyment of next season one bit, so no problem.

I said the same on another thread. Once you see it you can't unsee it.

I like it and I think it will sell in record numbers.
Had it looked like this, but with American Express sponsorship, we would have had a modern CLASSIC on our hands...
The correct vibe is exactly that - age at least 40, good old beer gut (or in my case, wine gut), and lashings of 'don't give a ****'. The thought of some slim, young, fit looking handsome dude in a BHA shirt makes me queasy. Especially if he's wearing super-hero tights that accentuate his muscular calves and thighs, and generous clutter region. Shadow boxing, and flicking his luxuriant hair . . . . no that's just wrong

80% approval, that's pretty good.
Interesting that it doesn't match with the comments on this thread which are mostly negative. I dare say most of the naysayers are off a demographic that isn't "down with the kids"!

Regarding the shirt, I'm glad its not an amazing classic (like a blue and white Croatia style shirt - something I have always coveted) in our first season back . . . . just in case. Step by step. Will I buy it? I have more than 30 of our shirts. Probably over 50. So it is a 'yes' for me - but it would have been, even if it had been nylon and highly flammable
People are asked the question, they answer it. Deal with it.

It's a blue and white striped sports kit for professional athletes.

Not really. It is also a massive revenue stream for the clubs and the manufacturers and distributors.
Based on this poll, it seems to have achieved both goals - notwithstanding the fact that I still think it looks like something knocked up at ten to five on a Friday afternoon using bits found on the floor.

I would use 'massive' in the context of Real Madrid or Barca, BHA shirts whatever their appearance will have limited appeal both nationally and globally.
And Sheffield Wednesday.
