MouldyRoyal Apparently the arms are baggy because it's an XXL home shirt used as demonstrator. Should be the same cut as away shirt (or so says the club). I was concerned by the sleeves too. Hopefully smaller sizes don't look so weird.


How did you find this out?

I like it a lot more than last season's shirt, definitely wasn't a fan of the collar.

I'll get it when my discount voucher arrives, but no name on the back. Last time i got a name on the back it was Seol ffs.

Not the best idea to use an XXL in the adverts then (as I've seen comments that people won't buy the home shirt as the sleeves are too baggy)or indeed TWO different sizes for the home and away shirt......Another balls up by the marketing department.....

Using the evidence of my own eyes, I'd say that the two biggest groups of people wering replica shirts are:

1) Kids

2) Overweight middle-aged men

So when they show the shirt as being 'on the large side' it suits me perfectly.

I'm disappointed..........in the poll. Should be more options like:

Strongly like

Like

Indifferent

Dislike

Strongly dislike

I would have voted "Like", personally, but don't have strong feelings there as not too sure about the sleeves but it is definitely an improvement on recent shirts and most importantly a lot better than the shirt we wore when we were last in the Premier League.

Now that I have seen the full jersey I can unequivocably say...I like it. Full hoops and the red numbers looks outstanding to my eye. 8)

Seems like a really weird thing to do, doesn't it. The XXL looks SO bad.

You might just want to wait until the end of January to be sure.

Would like to see more hoops, but it's the best home shirt we've had in a number of seasons. Also like the blue shorts despite the fact that our 'true' blue hooped kit goes with white shorts.

Would also like to see our old blue and yellow hooped away kit. That was unique.

I thought that kit was alright tbh, smarter than this one, which isn't the disaster it's been made out to be btw.. Once this kit is played in I think It'll look better than it does in the pics

Yeah, only the thing is the shorts in that picture is white. The new shorts is blue. Which is wrong.

alderdude I like it, definitely an improvement on last season.


:shock:


I'll join him. Last season was two kits rolled into one. Leeds one half, Reading the other.

Now we have full hoops, red lettering and numbering. Shame it's blue shorts again but as they've made the arms completely blue, it will work with the shorts. This will grow on people.

Last season's kit with hoops all the way round would have been a winner for me.

On reflection - last seasons kit looks nice compared to the next seasons....
