Tranmere launched their new home kit for the 2018/19 season on Saturday morning, one that hopefully will be worn in the Football League next season. Rovers fans on social media were quick to give an opinion.
Almost every kit launch these days, with any club, seems to polarise opinion among its fans. It has become standard that clubs have at least one new kit per season, and Rovers are no different.
The new kit was revealed on Saturday morning, once again manufactured by Puma. It’s predominantly white, as you’d expect, with the upper part of the shirt, the shoulders and arms the same as the 16/17 kit.
However, in quite a drastic departure from tradition, the front now features a blue gradient-style graphic, bringing up the colour of the blue shorts (yes, blue shorts are back) in to the white. So, here is what social media made of the new kit.
Very nice ?

Disappointed with it to be perfectly honest, in the 45 years I’ve supported Tranmere, only the green and orange kit has ranked lower. If you are going to play with the kit, do it with the away strip, not the home. #infantartproject

Old-school blue shorts harking back to the baggy Mizuno kit. Brings back memories of Johnny Morrissey embarrassing another puny full back. Love it.

I’d have preferred the shorts to be white but the shirt looks good.

If memory serves, last time we had blue shorts we were relegated. Hate that we aren’t all white.

Better than anything we’ve had for a while

I like the blue shorts I’ve been championing them for a while and it looks decent in person, it’s a ?? from me.

And don’t like blue shorts in a Tranmere home kit, never have. All white is the best!

No. No. No. Blue shorts look awful and the squiggly design doesn’t go all around the shirt. Please ask supporters next year, this monstrosity can’t happen again. Puma mustn’t have a clue what supporters want
