Outrageous - 'Limited-Edition' Umbro Blackburn Rovers 19-20 Kit Is Cheap, Old Teamwear
- Umbro Kit Release: The "limited-edition" Blackburn Rovers 19-20 third jersey is not a custom design but a standard Umbro teamwear kit.
- Pricing Discrepancy: The Blackburn Rovers jersey is sold for £50, while the base teamwear kit costs only £15.75.
- Prior Use: The same kit design was previously used by Waterford FC, highlighting its lack of exclusivity.
Yesterday, Umbro released the new Blackburn Rovers 2019-20 third jersey. Quickly after the release, it emerged that the 'limited-edition' jersey has been not designed especially for the club...
Mainly blue, Blackburn Rovers' 19-20 third shirt combines this base with a dark navy checker pattern on the left hand side. However, it is not a bespoke design but simply the Umbro Stadium Teamwear kit.
What makes this insane is that Blackburn Rovers' new 19-20 third football shirt retails at £50, whereas the teamwear shirt without the club's crest is available for £15.75.
In fact, the same kit design has been already used by Waterford FC from the League of Ireland two years ago, just with another bet sponsor and Waterford's logo.
Blackburn Rovers did not release a special news article for the kit - they surely had their reasons for that (i.e., they do not need to say what the kit is actually...)
