Shadow Puppets

Happy for them to be honest 👍🏻

I can’t really comment on where the info comes from I’m afraid. Just happy to share what I hear.

You know what, I don't know. I've only seen a long sleeve version of the 3rd strip so far.

The general gist of the colours are right. From memory (I don't have a photo of it to hand)... Blue shirt (exact shade I can't remember but KIs guess is close). Orange Sela logo. Trefoil. Crest in a shield. Orange stripes on shoulder. Green trim. So yeah, that KI design is close. Might not be absolutely bang on, but close.

Yes, pretty much. The blue is very slightly different, but close.

At the end of the day, Gordon and Barnes are going to get plenty of game time next year, whether we're in Champions League or Europa. There's no need at all to sell either.

Closest leak/mockup of the 3rd kit I've seen so far is this. Not bang on, but close. We also get a long sleeve version of that one this year, which looks cool.

I'm sure this is a whoosh, but just in case it isn't, this kit is absolutely 100% the kit (or a really really close fake). I have photos of the official authentic kit on my phone (not the standard one, granted), but all the features align correctly. The trefoil is a feature of the 3rd kit this year.

I've been told, categorically, that Barnes is NOT FOR SALE and DOESN'T want to leave. They're trying to build a squad here. Obviously that could change, so don't shoot the messenger, but that's how it stands today.

May have already been mentioned but the home kit is launching 29th or 30th May.

no. 3 more points does it (getting us to 69 points), because only Chelsea and Villa can reach 69, and Villas goal difference is woeful.

I don’t have too much of an issue with a slight change. I’d prefer not too, but if it’s just a slight freshen up, then I don’t really care too much.

Not close at all.

This is pretty close but from memory there are more stripes.

Like a McDonalds uniform

I don’t know, sorry.

Yes the stripes ignore the collar. And the badge looks clean to mean. Not sure what you mean on that one.

I know my opinion means largely nothing to anyone, but I’m looking at a picture right now of the authentic one and I think it looks mint 🤷‍♂️

Well I did say it’d be controversial 😁

I haven’t seen the standard version (only seen the authentic), but yeah, I reckon that’s legit. For what it’s worth, the authentic version is a chunk nicer to my eyes. The collar is different… the black ring at the bottom isn’t there… and the bubble texture gives it a more premium look. And it looks mint (to me) on the players.

Aye, you’re pretty much there 👍🏻

It’s incredibly subtle, and really lovely in person.

Close. The black stripe on the shoulder should extend down the arm. And the side panels have a mixture of black and white stripes on them that follow the body contour. And make the bubbles less obvious. They’re extremely subtle. Then it’s pretty much there.

Yep, that’s the bubble pattern I’m referring to. That’s on our home shirt (at least definitely on the authentic version). I guess there’s a small chance there’s a different pattern on the standard shirt.

I have photos, aye, but I can’t post them for obvious reasons.
