HEADERNEW - breakingnews

Tranmere Rovers have today released pictures of their brand new home kit, to be worn during the 2010/11 season.

The kit, which is modelled on the official site by Rovers defenders Marlon Broomes and Ashton Taylor, who have both signed new contracts with the club this summer, is Rovers' first made by kit manufacturer Carbrini, who signed a deal with Tranmere to make the club's kits in May.

As per usually, white is the main feature of the kit, with a thin blue trim over the shoulders and down the sleeve on the shirt, and another thin blue trim down the side of the shorts.  The socks are plain white, whilst as ever, the shirt is sponsored by Wirral Borough Council, with "Wirral" emblazened across the front of the shirt.

The word "Rovers" also features on both socks, the shirt and the shorts, whilst Carbrini have used their new "Twist" design for the kit, which was manufactured to allow players more movement on the pitch.

The new home kit will be available to buy at the Tranmere Rovers club shop in late July, though it can be pre-ordered in store.

Pictures of the kit can be found on the official Tranmere Rovers website by clicking on this link: http://www.tranmererovers.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10365~2071433,00.html

Really like this kit. I think it's pretty tidy and a nice bit of work by Carbrini. Good stuff!

Another pointless bit of marketing, it's hardly changed from last kit. Grade A waste of money, don't bother forking out £30 for another home kit that looks the same as the last one with 125 years rubbed out.

Same as last seasons pretty much.

Its not bad, but nothing special, but then again, what can you do with an all white kit.

Have to agree with Matthew. Why do some people have to moan about everything. We HAD to have a new kit because of the change in manufacturer. You don't have to buy it, enough people will, lets concentrate on the playing side of things and get behind the team.

I'm not moaning it's simply a rip off! Surely Cabrini are capable of making their own shirts rather then simply tweaking what Vandanel did?

One of the problems with football is kits that constantly changed and fans then believing they simply have to buy them. All that's happening is your getting screwed out of your money for quite a@#$%&product which will be replaced by something very similar in the not so distant future.

I like buying the home kits but they should at least make the effort to change it.

What can they change about it? Our colours are WHITE with a little but of blue added in. There's not much else you can change, unless you want to defy our tradtion of the best part of half a centuary and completely change our home colours.

At least the design is better than some kits of days gone by, e.g. last seasons disgusting lime green kit, the yellow one which was designed like a tent, or the white one we reached the play-offs in, which was a horrible material and barely worth the money paid for it.

I like this kit. I liked last years shirt, and this one is a bit different. It's got blue in a few different places, it has Rovers written on the back of every item and everything is in a different style font to Vandanel.

Ok, it's not hugely different, but it's different enough.

BUT it's one way the club make revenue. You want us to be ambitious and sign good players, to do that we need money and for a club like us, one of our main sources of income is merchandise.

We've change our kit this year and hopefully plenty of people will buy it to give us that bit more money which can hopefully go towards signing a player better than any of those released.

What i have thought for years now to stop any moans or whinging about new kits when they are revealed is for the club to put up 4 or 5 kit designs in the club shop when the manufacturer gives them to the club and for supporters to vote for their favourite for a nominal sum say £1 that goes to the club and the one with the most votes becomes the next kit. I certainly wouldnt mind payin £1 to have a say on the new kits, just annoys me when people slag the new kits off i happen to like the new cabrini kit. Anyway just something ive been thnking about

In the Grand Scheme of things though, and judging by the number of posts (me included), does it really matter! I think not. Can't wait for the new season now.

I'd like to see a white top with thin vertical blue stripes, similar to Ipswich's 2 seasons ago (bbut the other way round if you get me). It's not hughely different but oh well.

I take it we're getting a new away kit also?

What did you expect? Something with an umberella coming out the back in case it rains?

It's a football shirt, their are only so many designs that can be made, and as mentioned above our colours aren't going to change from the traditional blue and white.

What would you have liked to seen? (If you were designing it...)

Summed it up Mike! It looks OK! At first I thought I really liked it, but then I saw that collar, which would win the award for worst collar of all time if Puma hadn't beaten them too it with this ridiculous star shaped collar that they are enforcing upon everyone of their kits. Makes me feels a little like parking my lunch.

The the rest of the kit is a nice design. . . . 6/10 for me!

Judging by the amount of people moaning about it if they all had a say in it then at least it would cut down on the whinging about it, a team did this a few seasons ago cant remember who it was now but surely it would be a good PR event for the club to involve the fans in "designing" the kit.

this point may have been made earlier but haven't the time to read them all. theres not much variation available for the home kit to be honest, they've obviously been told all white with blue trim, so you're going to struggle to make is drastcially different to previous ones. i like it to be honest.
