I like it, though the part I was fascinating about - the chevrons, are a bit too much like a Zebra crossing at first look...I was expecting light/dark blue chevrons. Love the blues, and though we all hate the commercialization of the sport, we do tend to get great sponsors who don't ruin a shirt!
I’m going to need to see it in the flesh I think. On first view I’m not keen on what appear to be lighter shades - last year’s was perfect in my opinion. And the chevrons just look as if they have been added on as some sort of warning sign. As I say will need to see it but won’t be rushing to pre-order
I was definitely expecting something a little more experimental. Perhaps like the kit below - it is a little known Coventry kit from a few years back that has really flown under the radar.
Ah yes, I see where you were heading with your original post.
Like them or hate them, nobody can deny that the Couhig’s have worked wonders in the local business community. They just need to concentrate on the local residential community next (including a presence in the town).
Looks like a stitched badge too. Remember the season under O’Neills when the first batch had stitched and the second batch printed, for the same product. I think it was two seasons ago maybe.
The new shirt looks good on Josh. But isn’t it more than usually clinging? I’d be a bit wary of the outline of the statistical data bra showing through it.

When pre ordering you can have a name and number of a squad player and noticed Wakely and Orbita are on the list.

Loans.co.uk the only shirt-tarnishing sponsor we've ever really had
Looking at the chevrons when Josh is wearing them, they definitely look better than hanging on a rack. Definitely planning to buy this one.
The change from Cherry Red to Dreams on the red quarters was pretty awful too.
'Tis a thing of beauty
Aesthetically, yeah, but at least Dreams aren't a morally dubious company. Good to see we've steered clear of betting sponsors.
They’ve got the colours right at last! Praise the Lord!
They’ve also got them the right way round. Cough!
What a beautiful shirt. I’ll definitely be buying one if I can get it to fit around my Bayo-esque physique. Cough, cough!
That's a superb kit. Hats (shirts?) off to all involved!
Very tempted to wear that on Jeff’s Football March. Really decent shirt.
When I've looked on the club's site to pre-order, it starts with Josh wearing the next kit and then goes to the O'Neil kit. I'm a little confused?
Does this also mean that we have new away & 3rd choice kits this summer?
We've changed kit manufacturer, so yes (at least an away, and then a third if they do one).
I didn't like them at all when I first saw the hanger shot, but yeah, they look pretty great when the shirt is on.
I like it . Clean lines, classic style and the sponsor’s name is not too intrusive. If the material quality is good then we have a winner.
Oh yes: ‘86 & ‘92 inspired……..

Oh, and Nick Freeman.
It's just so nice to have a kit manufactured by a proper brand and not the tinpot rubbish we've had for years
And thankfully nothing like that insipid tennis shirt that keeps getting posted on this thread.
I liked the swan shirt, but every O'Neills kit was essentially the same - until the last one, which was just thoroughly meh imo

Looks neat enough.
Liked that little spell we had of doing something different with the Swan and the 2 sets of quarters, but this is fairly safe enough.
I imagine from the wording that this will be kept for one season. Would have been a brave move to upset fans with their first kit.
Played it safe and another 4 seasons to "experiment".
If only.

How the hell did Scowen's kick only just clear Gate 2 and end up at Origin? At least make the video believable.
I like the new kit.
Best kit since 90/91, perfect.
They should have hired Danny Hylton for the video.
Oh it'll test some of the builds of some of our finest fans for sure.
