Today we bring you yet another new Umbro kit which, in this instance, belongs to Blackburn Rovers. This is what they'll be wearing at home (if not away) during the 2007/08 season:
Regular followers of this feature will know the drill by now when it comes to Umbro shirts. The diamond logo is high up on the shoulder, there's a diamond pattern running along the top of the shoulders and a bit of fancy business under the arms and down the sides which appears to be made from left-over pyjama fabric.
Unfortunately the new shirt won't be officially launched until August 23rd so those of you wanting to properly worship Mark Hughes' band of merry men will have a little longer to wait. Meantime, let's give the shirt a quick once over...
If I'm honest, it doesn't look too bad, but at the same time it doesn't look wildly different from other recent Blackburn 'home' shirts. Perhaps that's what'll appeal to a considerable section of the shirt-buying public, but what do you think? Is it the height of fashion or simply crap apparel?

I don't like Blackburn's kit to begin with, but the Umbro crap makes it worse. Is Umbro conducting scientific experiments? How many different paterns can we put on a shirt before people's eyes bleed?
ReplyDeleteCeltic's are simple and classic, I like it. Ranger's kit is laughable. Seriously, are they going to the discoteque straight from the match? I hear Sly and the Family Stone will be there.
ReplyDeleteCan't argue with that, Chris B.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Chris B, on being the first to use disco references when judging a new football shirt!!
ReplyDeleteI've seen worse than the new Rangers shirt, but it does have that air of abject averageness about it that Umbro are keen to purvey this season.
Apart from the new Man City Home and Away shirts, I dont recall seeing anything worse than that Rangers kit.
