so from what I and others have heard, the club have been having a back and forth with the PL. The club had all the home shirts delivered and then found out the PL from the 25/26 season want a blank panel for the names and numbers. Club had kits delivered with stripes and due to time are having to slap a white box on the back of the player kits. Kits being sold will have stripes but it's going to look naff for the players
I'm gutted about this as I always (completely irrationally) equate how good our kit looks to how good we play Hopefully its something they can tweak throughout the season to make it less obvious it's been "patched up"?
You'd think we could get this as a priority to be fixed and just play in the Away and Third kit until done
sadly from what I've heard it's a white square because we didn't have enough time to redesign it with a panel back
We’ve had a white panel on match day kits before haven’t we? Didn’t we have that on the first year of Hummel in 88?
Panel yes but this isn't a panel, I've been told it's a white square because we haven't had the time to redesign it with a panel. Player kits will have the white square and ones on sale to fans are fully striped I actually don't mind having a panel with the stripes halfway up. From next season onwards, if we stay up we will likely sell replica and authentic versions like Brentford. One with the panel like the matchday kits and one with the striped back
