You’re right, Stanley.
On Umbro website, we learn that we discover the new shirts on 30th June, at 6 pm (french hour, of course). That’s a monday, right after the Euro final, if I remember well.

btw, the garment in the bag in the official umbro pic is definitely an Ol garment (red herring) but looks more like a sweatshirt than a jersey to me.

except for the white one with just a pair of pinstripes on each side i’d already seen these (and lots more). when it’s just a question of rehueing an existing pic, photoshopping is easy so a lot of these look authentic.

the gold jersey actually grew on me despite having “free bowl of soup” as a sponsor. but in warm weather it’s not technically very good, the white really takes the heat and perspiration away much better and it’s not the color, it’s the fabric. the black is not so nice to wear either.

the white/yellow/turquoise rumor did come from “le progrès” who generally dig up news as opposed to making it up. but my son who drops into the OLstore every day after school has a set opinion that the new CL jersey will be silver/gray, and that would be good news for me, my all-time (non-white) favorite jersey was the gray one from 2001/2002. in any case i can’t see OL going for anything too far out, they need to keep a serious image in europe.

our away shirts generally have a 1 year lifespan, that plus the arrival of a silver one would mean the gold is gone. to be replaced by just about anything, the light blue (not turquoise) that is going around on olweb looks very convincing.

finally, white at home is a no-brainer, the only question is where they’ll put the stripes. i have an idea they’ll be horizontal.

i’m surprised they didn’t unveil the new kits in dubai, but the official unveiling is in 4 weeks.

Good news for Lloris, i want the black jersey back. These ones are awful.

I almost did faint from sheer happiness. You have no idea how stressful the last few days were, especially because I kept on reading goal.com against my better judgment, and they had Lloris going to Milan every five minutes.

Phew.

maillot/kit speculation is my favorite time of the offseason
