A 'cult classic'...And 'unfinished business'....anyone any clues?!
I wonder when we'll see the away and third kits released?
I swear in recent years they have all been revealed together or withing a few days of eachother.
@calvertskans Last season home was revealed first, then away and third within a week of eachother
I find it odd that we keep doing third shirts that are the same as the previous season. People are less likely to buy another black kit considering we had one last season...
We had the same issue with the orange shirt a couple of seasons ago.
I am guessing OLBG have had an input RE another black and orange strip? Could be part of the contract agreement. I personally liked our previous orange kits from recent years but agree that they should mix up the colours of kits each year from a financial perspective so the number of shirts sold increases. Also worth noting that MW doesnt like us wearing black when its night games
The black / orange shirt was deffo because it was OLBG colours, there are even scarves in the same colours
Agree mixing it up more would boost sales, but OLBG put so much money it massively outweighs any shirt sales income
Marc is colour blind hence we used to go quite bright and garish in the past

Best home shirt design since 21-22 season. Absolutely superb.
New shirt presumably the away launches tonight at 6pm. Looks like its black and orange again
Really don't understand why they drag out the announcements like this.
People who buy one want to see all of them before they choose which one to buy.
People buying more than one will also wait for them all to be announced so they can do one order and combine postage.
Should just get on with it, nothing good came from making people wait!

No I agree, although a lot of clubs tend to do this. I suppose to keep fans interested for longer during the close season. It is like the 6 (or 7) new signings, drip feeding them over a few weeks rather than all at once despite a lot of the interviews probably already done.
I am hoping the kit release tonight will be mainly orange with black trim (but I expect it won't) as I don't like black kits and didn’t get round to buying one of the old orange kits. Won't be purchasing if it is another black one.
I am sure a lot of work went into the details but not different enough to last seasons black kit for me.

It is a lovely shirt but it is literally just last years with pinstripes. No way I'm spending £55 when I already have last seasons.
@dorking-eagle Agree its nice enough but far too similar to last seasons
I thought there was going to be more gold on it . It’s lovely but pretty much the same as last years

As you say just added pin stripes, and I can't see many fans buying it if they already have last year's black shirt.
