“While our replicas have red and stripes across the back, the authentic kit features a red block to show player names and numbers clearly, in line with new Premier League regulations. “

If this is the new norm then us as fans need to demand striped-back shirts are made available to purchase just like Brentford have.

The rule itself can go in the bin with VAR.

Oh, look! A fucking striped back!!!

Also £60 is far too overpriced and I would only buy it if it was reduced at that price. It's an easy decision to avoid because the kit is crap regardless.

Is it not just going rate for a football shirt?

They’ll be amending this for the shirt the players use in the same way Brentford are doing.

The on-field shirt worn during Premier League matches features a solid panel to accommodate player numbers, in line with league requirements. However, after holding detailed discussions with the Premier League throughout the summer, the Club will only retail a fully striped-back version for supporters, preserving the traditional look of our home shirt. This decision was reviewed recently with representatives of our fan groups and agreed that in future seasons we will open up dialogue to understand fan sentiment towards what is worn on field and sold at retail.

Well spotted TJ.
Can you get the WHU goalie and the feller behind Billy Dearden.
I can't but I know a man who can.
Yes, not Everton, the photo was on the front of that seasons Everton programme. A 1-1 draw, Blades drawing level with a Woodward penalty.
What a great photo, apart from West's expression, the Everton player far right, his win bonus darrrn the drain, there'll be no new car, that week, what's he going to tell his misses.

IS that Alan Ball creased up on the 18 yard line?!?

 

[blAdes96]

Oh, look! A fucking striped back!!!

You know what, it's a lovely shirt that. I've wanted us to have a centralised badge and manufacture logo kit for a while.

The only thing that lets it down is whatever the block pattern is in the white & also that sponsor!

Sound like Sunderland consult fans on stuff they care about. We just offer answers as to what we already did as a club when fans wonder about it afterwards.

Such a shame they’re going get there backdoor smashed in every week.

 

[Booker4]

Is it not just going rate for a football shirt?

Probably mate. There's a lot wrong with modern day football sadly. This is an example!

 

[Booker4]

Oh, look! A fucking striped back!!!

There's must be no visually impaired people in Sunderland or colour blind.

 

[Foxy]

Is anyone in the Premier League playing with a Red and White striped back next season?

 

[Cappy]

Reverse slavery FC?

 

[Chimpan-A]

Oh, look! A fucking striped back!!!

Lovely shirt. I hope to see these shirts surrounding Premier League refs after the tenth consecutive dodgy VAR decision to go against the jammy bastards every week on Match of the Day.

 

[mattbianco1]

Oh, look! A fucking striped back!!!

A red and white stripey back .. in the Premier League? But wait. That's not allowed

Edit.
Just read Sunderland's statement... See, I told you it wasn't allowed

FFS.

So we're not only going to have to check the shirts for a straight badge, were going to have to check the rear stripe lengths too?
