No idea if this is real or AI.

Pros: lice neck, no sash, relatively simple.

Cons: that fade. I'd prefer a coloured badge.

Overall, I'd rate it 68.4%, a slight improvement on this season.

Photo nicked off Ginger Wigs FB page.

If that is true.....it's a big thumbs up from me as it's the nearest to how our 'old school' kits used to be.

If I had to put money on it, I'd say the pics are AI. I'm not convinced by the 'Airways' on Foden's shirt, nor his calf, nor the writing on the sock. In addition, some of the Puma badge on the shoulders in the players' pics should be visible in the 'flat' pic, the seams aren't visible on Foden's shirt, and the white underarm trim on Doku's is a totally different shape to the 'flat'. However, that's not to say it isn't a mock-up of the actual design.

Oh, and Doku's and Foden's neck trim is only on the front half of the shirt, while it's all-round on Haaland and the flat one....

It's already being sold overseas so i'd say that will be close to what it looks like.

It looks smart

I like it, reminds me of the top notch umbro ones from a year or two after the takeover which I think are the best we've had in decades.

The chinese store I use sell all sorts of shit long before it's official, most of it is taken from drawings or initial samples, and very often the ones they release at this time of year quietly disappear when the correct one comes out.

In the case of Barcelona or Real the sites typically leave them on sale as "special editions" - but some of them are really cool shirts, I often get some of the more obscure club ones for my son for fucking about in the park.

Don't like the white arm pits, but it's ok. A bit meh.

Stop bringing them out earlier n earlier be november next ffs

When I lived in Newcastle in the 90s I had to preorder a city top but was only 1 change a year home one year away next, now it’s just a fan rip off 3 shirts and training tops at top dollar

Don't forget the Chinese New Year limited edition one, too...

We only buy the home kit for me and the missus, but even that feels like a bit much.

On the shirt itself, very nice if real. Big fan of the fade.

Keeps showing up on my Facebook feed in an unbagging reel. Looks better on that than in the pictures.

Year of the horse shirt, shoot me now
