'Like it'... 'A big no from me'... 'Get UCL booked' - Sheffield United fans react to Blades' new home kit for 20/21 Premier League season

Adidas’ latest Blades effort features a black collar and more white than red, with a predominantly white back after last season’s red effort. USG again feature on the body and sleeve.

United say the new shirt “is Aeroready meaning its moisture-absorbent material keeps you dry and feeling comfortable until the final whistle.” The red stripes also have a pixelated effect.

@chrishanlon90: That is stunning!!

@NickHedge1: Another white back look better if it was red

@AndyJGreaves1: Why can't we just have red and white stripes and stop faffing about ?

@DisndatSignor: Fine with having a solid or 'bib' back, but for the love of god use RED not white. And please return to black socks…

@TheT0M_: I’ll be honest I’m not feeling that.

@YeomansJoe92: Not fussed. Hope it grows on me.

@Dandulum: The last time we had a kit this white we got promoted to the Premier League. I see what they are doing. Get UCL booked.

@glavezilla: I prefer it to be honest, I liked our Championship promotion kit, although the best kit I think we have had for a long long time was the 17/18 kit, the one which we beat Wednesday in, that was a beauty

@SellyOakBlade: Why oh why would you have a solid white back. We play in Red, and White stripes. Not in White, and Red stripes.

@MarkHowsham: sadly.... a big no from me,, just looks like its been thrown together from left over seasons offcuts. too many white patches.…

@TrevorT52900021: What’s with the shoulders , looks like they were forgotten and just stitched on there as an after thought

@styro94: Disappointed, too much white on it for me

@FreddyTheFud: Home kit is sweet, big fan of the solid white back. Both the keeper jerseys are absolute bangers too, especially the dark purple one!

@Neil1889: Sorry, I don’t think much of it at all. At least it’s only for one season.

@RichardProctor3: Bit busy and the sponsor and collar are both an issue for me. I also prefer a thin stripe. Only a 4 / 10 I’m afraid

@circa88football: This whole template is 10/10 from us. The colour scheme compliments [sic] the collar, the cuffs and the badge. The pink kit isn’t anywhere near Leicester’s version last year but is still decent. Well played Adidas

@craigcastlepain: Overall love the home kit although not a fan of the solid white back shirts, Green goalkeeper shirt not too different to this season ...not a fan of the purple goalkeeper shirt though .
