Where is your sponsor Venkies?
or does nobody wish to be associated with you again?

If blue & white halfs clashes with whoever you are playing, there is a 50/50 chance that this kit will clash also....good bit of thinking again by the BRFC

Plain Dark Blue with a bit of red around the arms. Really like it, much better than yellow and black.

What, no sponsor? I wonder why? Do Venky's know the amount of money that can be made from having one? Unless of course, no-one wants to be associated with the shambles that we have become.

Maybe Billy Smarts would be interested, or maybe Confused.com?

good point. if it's black instead of a darker shade of blue, it'd be better. not too shabby though (bad pun very intended).

Anything other than the absolute shocker the 'yellow and black' effort !

The worst ever for me.

Only one matters - the famous blue and white one :)

Like the color of this one but, I think it represents the owners 'blue all over' !

Well expect a third kit because at some point it is going to clash. Another shade of blue, POINTLESS.

I hope they have a 3rd strip because if we play a team with blue shirts I some how don't think our first or second strip will do, by the way does anyone know the colour of our third strip(do we have one)

I think this is worse than last season effort which is saying something as that was terrible. A third kit will be needed but I can see us using last seasons away kit, especially as we seem to be retaining the Princes Trust as the 'sponsor', as when we play away both our kits are too similar to Ipswich, Millwall, Birmingham, Brighton, Peterborough, Sheffield Wednesday and Leicester.

Not you. Looks ok to me but it's obviously going to clash so there'll need to be another.

Great logic from whoever thought of a Blue away kit, we play Ipswich in the first match.... AWAY

Have they thought of a 3rd kit, wouldn't put it past the current regime to see us turn up on the first day with a colour clash. Who is going to buy all these great replica shirts that look like training tops at crazy prices?

Apparently, manufacturers Umbro have also designed the new Liverpool away kit. All red apparently!! And the new Newcastle away one too, black and white stripes!! Completely pointless in my opinion. Red and black is always the best choice for me.

A very slight improvement on the awful yellow and black shirt of last season. It still seems to be policy of Umbro/Rovers to come up with the least creative and most tacky looking shirts possible. Its almost as though they don't want to make money and sell as many as possible! If they pushed the boat out by choosing an unusual colour or design I would be far more likely to spend £40 on it than on a boring all navy shirt that looks like the Rovers pyjamas I bought a few years ago.

Maybe it will look more like a football shirt when we sell the space on the front of it to a sponsor. Since every other club in the world feels the need to sell this space, why don't Rovers?

On the subject of a third kit, for most clubs this is a way of milking more money out of supporters. For Rovers I can't help get the impression that its just idiocy all around that has inadvertently caused a colour clash. How hard can it be? Rovers can wear their home shirt against everyone except those who wear blue at home. When are we going to need this navy shirt?

What a laughing stock this club has become.

Change the home kit? Now that would be the final straw! They have already ruined its design by changing the halves, known throughout the world. Just let them dare change it more!

It's alright, a bit boring like. We had a dark blue away kit a few years ago and couldn't use it all the time. Ipswich away, first game of the season - is that easier to tell from the Ipswich kit than the blue and white?

It'll look better with a decent sponsor's logo on the front...if Venky's can attract any decent sponsors that is.
