It does look very nice.

Although I don't buy football shirts any more, I've just noticed it costs fifty of the Queen's English pounds. That's a bit steep.
Only time I wear a BW top now is when playing football. I might buy the recently-unveiled home one at the end of the season when it goes on offer. I wouldn't pay £40/50 for any other shirt so it would be financially daft for me to do so for one I can only wear one night a week – but if that's what the board have decided the market can bear, then good luck to all who wear and sell them.

Have to say, after that horrific first shirt under FV - the dotty-background "Established 1877" one - they've been looking much better. IMO the new home one's the best since 2005, and possibly even 1993.

A most generous offer from Her Majesty to buy it for you...

She's good like that, Liz.

I'm not an admirer of Macron's designs generally but I agree the last couple have been an improvement.

That 93-97 period really was a golden age for our kits, both home and away, as far as I'm concerned. Keeping it simple seems to be the key.

I take it that these are for those of us who now look like darts throwers rather than footballers? :D

I don't know whether anyone's been to Dubai recently, but I was there for work last week and saw quite a lot of, very large, adverts for Service My Car down Sheikh Zayed Road (main road through Dubai and into Abu Dhabi). It made me think they actually must be a reasonably big deal out there, so perhaps not quite the risk I thought they might be as a partner when the deal was announced.

It's definitely a service that would thrive out there. Whether it would work in the UK I'm less sure. Anyway, hype is the way in that part of the world. A lot of it often amounts to nowt very much.
