I think they’re alright personally.
I like an all black. I don’t buy the ****ers anyway.
Agreed that the sponsors logo is grim mind.

Bugger . . . . the back doesn't look right 
Sunderland A.F.C. released their new home and away kits yesterday, with both being favourably received, apart from the plain red back on the home shirt.
The decision to have a plain back was not a club decision, though, and neither was it due to any league ruling . . . it was solely down to Adidas.
In a statement ahead of their home kit release, Championship outfit Brentford confirmed that Adidas had decided that all of their partner clubs in the UK who wear stripes will have plain backs as a design choice:
"There will be one difference to the kit this year - a plain red reverse. Our technical partner, Adidas’ design direction for the new season is to provide a plain reverse shirt treatment for all partner clubs in the UK who have stripes within their identity. In combination with more tailored and bespoke detailing throughout the kit, Adidas believe that this will allow them to create more standout designs for clubs in the UK."

If that's what Adidas have told Brentford, I do believe it's a load of rubbish. Adidas do very limited bespoke detailing on any of their kits other than the most high profile ones (see the Adidas kits at the World Cup). The only way that solid backs on striped shirts makes for a more standout design is because the natural reaction to it is "well, doesn't that look stupid".Bugger . . . . the back doesn't look rightYou must log in or register to see images

Fingers crossed for Macron next season.

F*ck Adidas.....who owns the strip? We should right? Like the front but don't like the red shorts....want normality back....
I don't like the solid back but that won't stop me getting one! Always buy the shirts - but it does feel like we're being ****ed over by Adidas
Heard that the lass at the club who was responsible for agreeing on these shirt designs is a Boro fan - she agreed all of this last year (along with last years' strip) - a number think it's a piss take
Buying that. Button up collar, what I've been waiting for, right smart. Shame it's banded but I can live with it. I like it.
