It’s always an exciting moment when a new kit is revealed and we were the latest side to unveil our instalment for next season last night.
The Bhoys, in my view, have got one of the most signature kits in the world game and so, naturally, whoever makes it has to get it right.
It’s New Balance once again this season and, to be honest, I think it’s one that may have to grow on me.
Let’s take a look at what some of our other fans are saying about the launch on Twitter though:

Never mind the new top, Announce McGinn on a 5 year contract. And Kasper Dolberg from Ajax while you are at it.

Is the badge embroidered or an iron on shambles again?

Two questions, Why is the child socks all green unlike the adults socks which are green and white hooped? And how can you justify £97.00 for a full adult kit?

Have to ask what does it actually look like. Did @newbalance make a mistake? @Dafabet in 2 different places. Which will it be? pic.twitter.com/cn7UA4PWIc

Why break up the hoops?? Make no sense

The Verdict
Don’t get me wrong, it’s by no means a terrible kit but I do think that it will take a bit of time for me personally to get used too.
I think that there should be slightly more green – it seems to have more white than usual – and that will take some time getting acclimatised to it.
Even so, as long as we’re winning in it I don’t care too much.
Thoughts, Bhoys? Let me know!
