Not a big fan either really. It's ok as a general football shirt, but it's not 'QPR' is it?!
It's also too similar to our black away shirt from 21/22. They've tried to replicate that because that one sold out constantly, but if you own that one from 21/22 are you really going to pay £60 for another plain black QPR away shirt? You just wouldn't need another shirt so similar.
And why are the stripes including green? Very odd choice for me.

I agree.
I fully understand that because of the commercial world in which we we live that clubs have to make money from issuing a new kit each season and the need for plastering sponsers names across their shirts. The money side of the game has now turned a football shirt into more of a latest fashion item.
The bigger issue for me is that QPR is distinguished from other clubs by the Hoops on our shirt. Maybe I'm too old school but a plain black shirt with red, yellow and red stripes around the sleeve might look good on the beach but it shouldn't be associated with a team known as The Hoops.

Exactly! Should be some form of hoops in a different colour, although I have always felt black is a difficult colour to seek out for crosses or passes.
Always difficult to come up with a 3rd option to play in, and I feel sure the gold strip will create a lot of discussion - both negative and positive. One thing I am very happy about is the underlying image of the original club badge, which is a really nice extra!

My biggest issue is I don't believe we need a third kit - the club has been sensible in the last 6 or 7 years only having 2 kits.
When our home and away kits are so different already for next season this now feels like every other club just releasing 3 kits to make money. Not particularly fair on the fans.
