But as far as drooling Blues’ fans are concerned there’s one burning question – if the club and Umbro were going to conspire to produce easily the most classy kit of 2017/18, then why didn’t they make it the official home kit?
Instead the team will wear this uniform, which has been compared to Pompey or Cardiff City…
With more and more fans arguing that the 125th anniversary beauty should be adopted as their club’s official home kit, it will be interesting to see whether club relent and make it happen…

Make this the home shirt and the current one a training kit, that's basically what it is anyway
