Quite neutral on this year's kits, although I really like the blue GK shirt. I can see the idea of tweaking the quarters but still retaining them, just not sure I'm that keen on this design, like others have said, maybe too white, glad we have white shorts though. Away kit, does look a bit like that Newcastle away strip of a few years ago, but not as bad. Impressed at the price though, compared to many it is reasonable. Sadly I won't be buying one though, at the bottom it says Macron come in 1 or 2 sizes smaller than other manufacturers 😱. That said, I wouldn't be seen dead in a football shirt as I already look like a Zeppelin in a condom in my 5xl rovers shirt from a few years back ☹️

I am greatly looking forward to the first player to score who runs to the Rovers faithful and ‘pops his collar’ to reveal UTG!!! A stroke of marketing genius 👏🏻

It's not quarters though is it. It's a white shirt with a small splash if blue swept in from either side. It's a no from me, they have broken the golden rule. Never ever ever ever fck about with the quarters. See above. if I played tennis I would probably buy one, Apart from all the times we have swapped them round etc I wonder what social media would have made of the 1990 kit with all blue back

Just seen the front properly. Worse kit since the carrier bag. Good job we don't all feel the same as you then, I think it looks nice!

They made us wait this long to see the kit so we can get all excited about it to buy it at the fun day but the home shirt wont be available until the 1st home game of the season. What the actual f? Why cant we get the kit supplied on time? We had issues last season too. Well done to UTG12 for telling us ages ago the away kit will be 2 tone yellow stripes. You were spot on. Maybe Football index was a bit slow paying us the money..... so manufacture was at bottom of Macron list....

Well, we've finally done it, we've gone from a blue and white kit to a white and blue kit, at least keep the majority of the total kit blue, whether that be blue shorts or blue back. I can see us being all white with blue trim next year! Not for me this kit I fear!

At last!
A Rovers home shirt with the quarters the right way round!
Definitely an improvement that way, and I think the white invasion of the blue is an acquired taste. Maybe it'll grow on us if we get in playoffs or above?!

Quite possibly my favourite shirt in 20 odd years of following Rovers. Collar is much nicer than the v neck or that horrible thing we had a few years ago with the red sponsor.

I'm not convinced by the new home shirt, not enough emphasis on the quarters. Love the away though, yellllooooowwwwwssss!!

Video of the shirts on Twitter
I can't understand why on the home shirt "Index" is shown in a sky blue colour but a dark blue on the away shirt, thought it would have stood out more if it was dark blue on both, rather than the washed out look.

Ugh. On first glanve, worat kit since the Tesco bag.
Where are the quarters? That's what we're known for, so why mess with them. It may be that it still looks like quarters from a distance, but on the close up views, not for me.
Don't like the fact that the white meets white and blue meets blue. Don't like that there's too much white and not enough blue. Don't like that the sponsor logo seems to have too much space.
Like every single kit ever produced, it would probably be better if it didn't have a sponsor logo plastered over the front of it, but of course the commercial benefits outweigh this. I couldn't care less who sponsors us, however on the plus side credit to Tom Gorringe for pulling off what seems likely to be a major coup on this front.
Oh well, come on you whites...

Love the Home Shirt. Away Shirt is a bit safe.

Too.....white for me,Quarters not distinctive enough,but if it makes us a few bob and makes it easier to 'find .players with a defence splitting pass and Tom feels so 'cool' in it he will bang in 20 plus then they can wear anything they like!

It looks similar to a recent Sadabel shirt in my opinion, got to say I do rather like what I have seen to be honest. UTG

Now it is rare for me to be negative about our cub as I can see improvements on and off the pitch for the last few seasons. Yeah maybe communication could be a lot better but really I think our club are currently in its best place for decades. We own our own ground and its in Bristol, we have owners will to spend to improve facilities at the ground, we have a brilliant manager who thankfully looks like he is being overlooked by clubs higher up the food chain than us, we have a strong squad (just need a couple more signings), lush pitch, talks of a redeveloped/new stadium and new training ground and now record levels of sponsorship money received for this coming season. Things look very good. So I don't have a thing to be negative about, apart from posters who seems to enjoy posting rumours about negative things without actually saying who, what, when and why and expect us to be worried or angry with the club when we have no idea what on earth they are talking about as they speak in riddles or are intent in just winding people up. Just no need for it.
Years ago, I used to get a new shirt for my birthday and could wear it with pride on my holidays. Now in recent seasons, I still get it for my birthday but as a late present and too late for holiday. And now unfortunately this time, I will be getting it over a month late and most likely not in time for the first home game of the season. What the hell! I think our club should be getting this sorted earlier. Before this season, we were all aware of who was sponsoring us from the raffle draw by April. Why do we have to wait until the end of July? This season, if its a case of waiting for the money as you say could be a possibility, then we need to learn from this and put deadlines on for next season so we can get shirts in early so people don't have to miss out. The club I feel are missing out on funds that I have no doubt that they would be getting throughout the summer. Me and the kids want the new home shirt and that was the reason why we were going to go to the fun day tomorrow but as it wont be available tomorrow, the kids don't want to go (not out of principal but we had other plans that we were breaking especially for the fun day and now they cant get their shirts, they rather do what we originally had planned) so thats extra funds now that the club could be losing where we wont be spending elsewhere at the ground during the day.
Just frustrating.

Saw it this morning and decided I don’t like it. Then stated it will at least save me £39 this year.......
4 hours later and I think I’m starting to like it......

You moan about posters spreading rumours w/o naming a source but then sem to accept HG's suggestion then FI may have been late paying up, when in truth nobody on here really as a clue why the shirts won't be available for a couple more weeks. Although I can't really see having to wait a couple of more weeks is really the end of the world, just as long as they are ready for the first home league game is really the main thing.
