Bristol City have this week chosen to unveil outrageous rainbow looking goalkeeper kits ahead of the upcoming 2020/21 season.
Robins stoppers Daniel Bentley and Max O’Leary modelled their club’s new strips, and it certainly seems that they like the new work uniforms.
The Championship outfit have seemingly taken inspiration from Wycombe Wanderers who in recent years have also revealed new kits with unique take on it, whether it’s colour or pattern.

Bristol City said via their website: Designed in conjunction with the club’s new technical partner hummel, and proudly displaying new club sponsor MansionBet, the shirts are inspired by the iconic hummel design of the 90s, one of their most recognisable and desirable pieces to date. The black base home goalkeeping shirt pays tribute to the hummel classic, whilst the pink base away goalkeeping shirt is the club’s own unique take on it. Both designs joyfully reflect the club’s recent trend for vibrant and eye-catching goalkeeper creations.
Both goalkeeper shirts – along with the already launched training tees and away shirt – include bespoke semaphore flags across the inner neck. These flags spell ‘Bristol City Football Club’ in maritime flag alphabet, referencing the city’s rich nautical heritage.
The eye-catching kits feature hummel’s trademark chevrons, and as with the purple and lime away shirt, these run from the shoulder down the top of the sleeve.
Speaking of the goalkeeping shirts, City Chairman Jon Lansdown said: “I absolutely love the kits and it’s been fantastic working with hummel to create these unique designs.
“hummel’s design of the 90s has always stood out, it’s one I’ve always admired – it’s iconic. From the beginning of this kit design process it’s something I wanted to re-create and thanks to everyone involved we’ve done that.”
Both goalkeeper strips for the upcoming campaign will also take advantage of hummel’s ZEROH20 dry-dye technology, meaning it is more sustainable than ever to produce the kit.
hummel reports that it normally takes 25 litres of fresh clean water to dye just one single t-shirt. Every two years it takes the entire volume of the Mediterranean Sea to colour the world’s textiles.
However, the ground-breaking technology ensures there is zero water consumption, zero wastewater and a 50% reduction in energy consumption during the production process.
Shirt prices start at £40 for kids and £50 for adults.
Fair to say we think this will go on to sell well, and we have no doubt that this will be iconic in years to come, no matter how good or bad they are.

Will there ever be a statue somewhere in Bristol of this strip? Or is it going to be a case of it’s best we all forget about this particular part of history and chuck it in the river? ?

Far be it from me to criticize a club I don’t support, but you have to be pulling a Huddersfield/Paddy Power type stunt, right? Surely you must be jesting?

Folks. Have you ever heard of colour-blindness?
I’m quite badly red/green colour-blind.
For once, I’m so glad that I am.@colourblindorg @cbfootballfans
