The green shirt doesn't have an 'H'.

Thin stripes are definitely better than thick
Blue shorts and socks would be a huge upgrade
But it looks like it might be the worst of the four in this image
and none of them were good kits. Oh well, hardly going to upgrade on my old L1 home shirt so wait another two years and see if we ever move on from Nike.

‘Cos we press well and always score?
The stripes are not symmetrical.
Classic Nike detail
They got 2 colours right though so on their scale it’s a relative success.

Stick to the retro Bukta kit on sale in the club shop. Classic design, no sponsor name, and made of cotton so much nicer to wear.
The new one is almost OK but the solid blue shoulders seem pointless and spoil it. Worst part though is the back with that big white patch. Only kids should have a name and/or number. Adults look a bit silly with their name or the name of their top fave player on it.
I prefer the away kit though there's still a big blank patch on the back. I'm very surprised that there are two different stripe designs for the home and away shirts. Surely the stripes are a brand and should be the same except for different colours?
Oh well. I've never bought a current replica shirt and don't intend starting now so when all's said and done I'm not that bothered.

The problem is the centre stripe is off centre
You think the GREEN vertical stripes and BLACK horizontal stripe look like an H?
You sure about this?

All the comments about Nike being lazy jar somewhat. They presumably don’t dictate what the kit will look like, I presume. I would trust there is an element of briefing or communication and the club would agree the kit.
”can we have one without a collar this year”
”we don’t want anything too outrageous.”
”we like the idea of block colour on the shoulders.”
”we don’t like the stripe bang in the middle”
I really like it anyway, especially with blue socks and shorts!!!
This is a poor show from the club and Nike.
They should be considering people with green/black colour blindness.
Surely it's not a centre 'stripe' though. It's a centre 'line' between the white and blue stripes?

The "off-centre stripes" on the new shirt mean that the club badge now sits centred on the edge of two stripes.
I don't hate it. Would have preferred a blue back though.
Shame the Amex logo is floating in a huge empty space in the stripes, it's a lot tighter on the away shirt.

Bravery as in what ? I saw a fake mock-up with diagonal blue and white stripes last week, would that be considered "brave" ? I can just imagine the complete MELTDOWN on here if we went down that kind of route with something totally off-piste.
The main consensus seems to be thats its a bit dull, a bit meh. Well, its a blue and white striped shirt, there's not a whole lot you can do with that apart from arsing about with the width of the stripes, which has also been done plenty of times before.
My opinion - its fine. They've not done anything weird with it. Its just a standard average typical Albion blue and white striped shirt. What else do people want ??

How many more years do we have to suffer with Nike?

I love the yellow accents -- they make the blue pop. The design is off the beatem track, and a successful experiment, as far as I'm concerned. Slight variations on the same motif yeae after year get boring fast.
