Umbro this season are much further away from templates than any of the other main kit manufacturers. Lots of different cuts/designs etc. Every single New Balance kit I've seen so far is one template, with all of them having a strange seam going from the armpits across the chest cutting the shirt into 2. That is a template, not what Umbro do.Looks like we’ll be getting the home kit template with some pattern of some sort on the top panel.
We should follow Liverpool’s lead and go for a different kit manufacturer. New Balance have delivered class kits for them even changing the colour and bringing in retro designs. We just get a blue version with some stupid design on whatever template Umbro have out.
