I made my views about ‘concept kits’ very clear a few months ago.
“Either the club is doing incredibly well, so fans aren’t being bogged down by the thought of relegation and can afford to have some fun, or the person designing it just has nothing better to do.”
Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not totally against the idea of them, some of the designs that people put out are incredible. My only issue is that what the club ends up getting is usually so poor in comparison, that you sort of feel deflated when the actual kit comes out.
But with the news on Friday coming out that the club has announced a new deal with Nike to become the kit supplier, it has sparked @JustAnotherKit1 into action to come up with what they think or hope the kit will look like in 2020/21.
And it certainly sparked a bit of a response from the Blues fans on social media, with many different view points thrown around for the options provided.
Like the Blue & White shirts but that red would be a no.

All I see is badly lined up wallpaper.

I like the first and second, but the third is hideous.

The one they have chosen is awful it’s not the correct blue (Royal Blue) it’s tacky and not for me , the blue one looks fine with white one as alternate

What about you? What do you make of these kits, and the idea of concept kits in general?
