The club’s new home kit will be released on 23rd April, but that hasn’t stopped fans speculating on what the potential new strip will look like.
One mock up that has been doing the rounds on Twitter over the last 24 hours has received some good feedback:

Here is some of the Twitter reaction to the kit:

No to black socks. Didn't work in 2012…so let's not mess with it. Bright white. Top is class though

Verdict:
Considering our shirts are made from New Balance, we can expect there to be some similarities with the newly released Liverpool home shirt, although we will have to wait and see on this one.
The new Reds jersey has a collar which may also crop up on ours, with manufacturers usually going with broadly similar design choices across the clubs they make kits for.
However, the one mocked up on Twitter does look pretty good, although I don’t see us going back to black socks again. Far more likely, we’ll stick with white I think.
