Fans really can’t decide whether they love or hate Watford’s new home kit for 2023/24 season, revealed by the club on Friday.

The shirt is yellow with black diagonal stripes etched across the front. The shirt is the fourth designed by Kelme after a four-year agreement with the club began for the 2020/21 campaign.

Shop.watfordfc.com will begin taking pre-orders on Friday, the 30th of June.

The new kit’s price will be announced when the pre-sale begins next week.

If fans so desire, the club has confirmed that they can purchase the shirt without the Mr. Q logo.

CLUB STATEMENT:

Watford FC is proud to reveal the club’s hotly-anticipated home kit for the 2023/24 season, which will be available to purchase online and in-store from Friday July 7.

For the fourth season running, the Hornets have combined with Kelme to create a stunning, bespoke design. Featuring diagonal etched stripes this term, the black detail is scratched away, letting the Watford yellow shine through.

Similar to Kelme’s first Watford kit in 2020/21, the new shirt features a black raglan sleeve with a yellow back. Under-arm panels give the shirt a fitted feel and the jacquard knit fabric is light and breathable, meaning it will look great from the pitch to the street.

Available in sizes from 1-2 years in mini kit all the way up to 4XL, the shirt features the hornet logo on the back neck, while once again the club’s WE values are imprinted in the half-moon inside the shirt.

Men’s and women’s shirts feature Mr Q and Corpay sponsor branding for the authentic match look, but for the first time all shirts will be available to purchase without sponsors for those who prefer.

Proud to present: Our 2023/24 home kit. 📸#WatfordFC 🤝 @KelmeUK

As mentioned, fans really can’t decide whether they love or hate Watford’s new home kit for the 2023/24 season…

@keelowfc: I feel like we keep adding more and more black every year lol

@MAshby1001: Not enough yellow

@HJClarke95: Option to purchase without the Sponsor 👏 W kit

@AmHornet: Awful kit 👎🏻

@wigglesworth667: Why is there so little yellow!!??

@WFCEdward14: Not really sure what to make of this

@AlexEckland: Take my money 😍

@FtblJosh9: Don’t think it’s bad, awful sponsor tho

@johnwood04: It’s alright but I think it needs more yellow no?

@bxxsimhxrnet: Not sure how I feel about this

@DeadeyeDoucoure: Apart from the sponsor I like it. Very Dortmund esque

@stilllrunning: that is one of the worst kits i’ve ever seen

@watfpaul: Nice training top, when’s the match kit out?

@andynwoodard: Is this a joke?

@MrAziizz: Could you have made the sponsor any bigger?

@cmhornet: I think it’s great, better than your generic Adidas and Nike templates

@eastcoteonion: It COULD have been good, but too much black.

@aidenWFC: Mixed feelings about this kit, looks nice but imo not enough yellow

@Hubble89: Fucking hell, another absolutely garbage looking betting sponsor on the front of a shirt. 😂 this whole kit is just a disaster though.

@MCLTFC: Pozzos slowly taking over the kit, black for udinese 😉😂 next season that yellow will be white with a changed badge 😉

@LukeCarey1881: Not enough yellow on that, looks more of a training top

@ben_smith025: I mean this is gorgeous but it’s a black kit. We’re yellow. All red has now gone from the equation but oh well. Another beautiful Kelme kit ruined by a sponsor that’ll stop me buying it.

@JackWFC1234: You know what, bar that AWFUL sponsor, that is a very very sexual kit. I love it. #WatfordFC

@JoelHeilpern1: the sponsor is vile what a shame

@sonny_ffc: is it bad that i don’t actually mind it, sponsor ruins it a bit though

@LazarusUorns: Now that is a sick kit

@jfwfc: Swap the yellow and black and that would be perfection

@eherbie__: It’s the worst kit of all time 😭

@MalekWFC_: Quite decent tbf

@marston848: For the first time in years this is really bad

@Tomzy87: It’s a beautiful and stylish kit. Shame our fan base always have something to moan about “needs more yellow” or “no red shorts again”. Take a day off 🤦🏼‍♂️

@LJPYT_: Who’s car drove over it then? #Watford

@tmoffi94: If this was Dortmund, everyone goes wild for it.

@philipplume: Is it me or are sponsors really shit this season?

@tomogosltfcsout: The circus that keeps on giving 😂
