Leaked 2012-13 Shirt Photos?

Really hope that these are completely untrue because these kits look pretty horrendous in my opinion (although the last, if tidied up might look alright) and look like something from the early 2000s rather than a contemporary design but they are apparently leaked:

Very cheap of them to plaster their logo all over, they're at least a day late to the story.

 

Wrong sponsor.

 

They discount it in the story by claiming Puma haven't had time to add on the new sponsor. Which I think is bollocks. The complete difference in sponsor logo colour and design would obviously need the new logo so the shirts wouldn't look complete **** with the new one on.

 

Those look like cheap fakes to me! Anyone else notice how the club emblem looks really out of place/almost glued on, on the home and keeper shirts? Also wouldn't any new shirts have the Virgin logo on now.

 

Am I the only one who can see another shirt behind the home one? Look to the right of the shirt on the sleeve.

 

And I'd agree that they are likely fake. I just thought I'd post so people could see them

 

They most likely don't know **** and are just jumping on these seemingly unexplained pictures that someone else leaked the other day.

This is where they, as far as I'm aware, came from - http://s1260.photobucket.com/profile/rorykeegan1 - https://twitter.com/#!/rorykeegan1/status/161162363897253890

 

Seems he likes to make shirts.

 

Let's face it, the kits that have leaked look terrible and cheap. No way will they be genuine Premier League kits. If they are I can't wait until we say goodbye to Puma.

 

Possibly one is long sleeve and one is short sleeve by the looks of it.

In any case they are all horrible but I have thought that about the past 2/3 seasons kits since the championship winning seasons kit (even then i didnt like it at first) but I still buy them and grow to like them in the end. Wish the would stop putting a block in the middle (white or black section) for the sponcer, and would just have it black and white stripes all the way down with Virgin in the middle. Then have the numbers red on the back of black and white strips (similar to west broms attempt) to match the virgin money colour.

 

Not again...

 

...FFS!

 

We're going back to white with black stripes. Makes sense with the sponsor now being black I suppose...

And (with some work admittedly) I wouldn't actually mind that third kit.

 

The 'away' strip looks like a training one. The quality of the keeper shirts is shockingly bad. They HAVE to be fakes.

The third one seems rather pointless if we cant use our home kit :S

Whats the deal with the wierd crinkle black lines going diagonally through the white ones in the home shirt? BLEH, DO NOT WANT.

Other than that, i really like puma kits.

 

Has anyone mentioned they have the wrong sponsor on them?

 

The wrong sponsor thing means nothing to me... Theyd have to make prototypes WAY before we announced Virgin Money, especially since we were late in doing that deal.

 

I'm pretty sure every year when our kits are 'leaked' i discount them as fake and they turn out to be the real deal. It seems to have happened with all the Puma kits. However, looking at the middle one this MUST be fake. Look at the material and the ribbed collar? What sporting activity could that possibly be for? It honestly looks like a cheap T-shirt. Also as people have mentioned above, WHY even if it was to celebrate a milestone would they make a separate B/W shirt? There is no conceivable reason for it to be useful at all. Also, the design of the 'home' shirt is extremely out-dated. This look was fashionable in football in the early Noughties, with kits now going for a more minimalistic, 'old-school' style. If the style changed, it wouldn't go back to looking so much like 2003.

I'm calling huge, ripe, flea-ridden horse **** on this one.

 

I very much doubt that they're real. I also certainly hope not, they look cheap and **** as hell.

 

The previous two leaks have happened in April and May, hopefully that's around the time the kits are finalised and when we can expect to see next season's.
