I love it. Good nod to our history, we will always be the Bicuitmen really.

Hound Like the fact we are so short of players, we’ve had to draft in Mrs Wing and his kid, as well as a load of randoms for the launch video


Yep this was filmed at the back end of last season when we had so few contracted players they had to draft them in alongside STAR members :D

Not sure...Swear I saw Ian Brown wearing the same shirt when I saw the Stone Roses in 89.

I think it's horrendous. But, life would be boring if we all had the same opinions.

The leaks have probably helped a bit with expectation management. Everyone was prepared to hate it and a lot of people don't. That's better than expecting a standard kit and everyone being surprised.

I think it's a nice idea, and far from the worst we've had, but the execution isn't there for me.

Meh, won't buy, not offended by it.

I’m sure QPR fans will be delighted with it.

It'll be iconic in a few years...

When's the away kit coming out?

I could deal with it if the shade matched the shorts. The pattern itself i'm easy with, and as said a good nod to our heritage.

But as it stands, it's a horrific kit

I really like the top, but it doesn't suit the shorts or socks at all.

Also, 58 oxf*rd £, lol :lol:

I think what they have done with the last few kits is great. When you try and do something different / unique you are inevitably going to divide opinion but then even in seasons when we just had template kits people moaned about something. It’s much better to have something that creates a reaction…..
I doubt I’ll buy it at £60, but I think it’s another decent effort to do something relevant and unusual.

Don't know its it a case of expecting to be much worse given what's been rumoured but I don't mind that at all.

Greatwesternline It will become an iconic kit in 10 years time, but not convinced the bands are dark enough.

I would have pushed for blue shirt where the white bands were made by a white floral pattern on top of the blue, rather than a blue pattern on top of white.

Doesn't it all just look a bit too white?


Nah, that would be too blue

I was honestly expecting a lot worse considering how people were reacting who had seen it early, don't like it right now but I can see it growing on me.

But already decided weeks ago I wouldn't day 1 any kit going forward, kinda sick of getting ripped off so will wait for a sale, case in point, last season's kit is £18 in clearance and I doubt anyone is gonna judge you for wearing last season's kit.

Worse Reading home shirt I've ever seen, The fact that it doesn't match the collar and cuffs nor the shorts and socks make sit worse.

I won't be buying it and I was really hoping to buy one this year

Thanks for that Madonna earworm. You can also have it too now.

I think it's great. A nod to our history. But white shorts would work better. The effect of the pattern is to lose to the vibrancy of the blue in the shirt - so the shorts look like they are a different shade.
